not this cute anymore!Ben: Now every time someone says the word EIGHT, it sounds really strange to me.
Nine years ago tonight I was wearing a flowered gown holding the cutest little newborn in Provo, UT. We could see fireworks outside our hospital room window. The country was celebrating and so were we. My first baby came two weeks early and what a surprise it was! I was thrilled about the day he chose to make his Earthy debut. He was darling and sweet and so perfect.
Nine years later I look at him with the same kind of awe. This kid is darling, sweet and as close to perfect as little boys can get. He wants so badly to do the right thing. He is a great example to his brothers (and to his parents.) He is everything I could have ever asked for-- and then some. He is kind, competitive, mature, understanding, silly, caring, fun-loving, responsible, helpful, trustworthy, brave, loyal..... He is such a cute little boy scout! I am not surprised he's already nine. The time has gone by quickly, but Benjamin has never been a baby. I often wonder how long it will take his body to grow into his old soul.
I can't wait to see where life takes him. I am so proud to be his mama.

We've got the same Uncle Sam hat. Glad he had a fun birthday celebration!
Ben bought that hat with his own money and wore it all day... somehow it ended up on me before the picture was taken. (which was probably a good thing because my hair was a mess-- it had chlorine in it from Saturday)
