Ben turns 14!


Benjamin's 14th birthday.  He's waited all year for this.  He's hoping now that he's 14 his voice will change and he'll start growing hair on his face, and he wants to grow like 2 feet!  Let's hope he gets his wish soon.   



He got a new watch, because his old one was to small for him.  It was also old and had a velcro strap that didn't want to stick together anymore. 



Sam wanted to get him a hotwheels car.  So here we are.  They already have hundreds of them lying around all over the house!


A new wii game.  Conduit 2.  Not to happy about this one, but what do you do.



Sam and Keaton both got Nerf guns for their birthdays so now Ben has one, his is the biggest, and now they can all battle with each other and have a great time.  Now I get to pick up nerf darts that are all over the place.

Ahh the lego sets.  He loved this one!!!!


Ben's a hawkeye fan, and I saw this pillow pet and thought, "Why not?!"  He loved it!


Go Hawkeyes!!!!


We had a yummy cake, and all sang happy birthday, then went to Council bluffs to eat at the Olive Garden.  That's where he wanted to go eat.  I thought he'd say Pizza Ranch or Burger King.  My little boy is growing up.  I asked why Olive Garden and he said, "I love the breadsticks!" 




We were all sitting at the breakfast table one afternoon, and saw this little guy sitting on the back of our deck chair.  Ben loves bugs of any shape and size so he had to go and play with it for a while. He was a very good subject to photograph.  He had some wonderful posses.  So cool!  Ben is growing up and appreciating nature more, because he didn't ask for a pickle jar, so he could keep this thing in the house.  After watching it climb around for a while, he took it to a little tree and let him go.
