Four, Four, Four, Four




I know I say this with every birthday that my children have, but I can't believe Benjamin is really FOUR. This little boy is such a joy to have in our family. Here are some things I really want to remember... This last year has been so fun for us because Ben has grown up so much. He wasn't hardly talking this time last year so we've really got to see him turn into a little man. He hates it that I call him my little man. He says, "Mom, I'm not a man, I'm a boy." He is so loving with his sisters and enjoys helping around the house. He is pretty well natured (like his dad) but can be quite sensitive (whines and cries) if something doesn't go his way. This little boy has the biggest heart and is so considerate of others (He reminds me of his uncle Ben). We're excited that we'll have a new baby boy soon and know Ben will be such a good big brother. Happy Birthday Little Ben!

Ben decided he wanted to go bowling for his birthday
and he actually won with a score of 110.

I'm sorry Ben and I missed it! Little Ben is getting so big and we are excited that he gets a little brother! Very cute pictures of that little man and yes I think him and his uncle have a lot in common. Happy Birthday Little Ben from Uncle Ben and Aunt Caitlin!

If whining and crying means you're sensitive, then COUNT ME IN!

I'd wish Ben a happy birthday, but he can't even read yet.

Bowling must be the hot thing to do for birthdays this year. That is what we are doing with Isaac tomorrow for his birthday. They do grow up way too fast especially when we don't get to see you guys very often. Happy Birthday Ben!

Happy Birthday Ben!!! And seriously, a 110? I don't think I've ever bowled that in my life. I wish that Ryley wouldn't have stopped him from telling his wish because I sure it was for something adorable.

As far as the recipes go...let me check with Shireen on the Orange Roll recipe. I'm sure she would be fine with it though. And I'll send you whatever recipes you want. You're a nerd for offering to pay.

Hooray for BEN! So glad you had a happy b-day. I wish that I could have talked with you more when we skyped you on Sunday. Transformers on your cake. Awesome! Will you take me bowling when I come to Texas? Love you so much. Gramma Marti
