The Birthday Boy!

Isn't it funny how you remember certain things? I can tell you exactly what I was doing when my sister called me to tell me I was officially an aunt for the first time. I was shopping at Wal-Mart for supplies for my clinicals at a local preschool. I was in The Valentine's Day aisle checking out cupcake supplies. I starting screaming and jumping up and down. Luckily that happens a lot at Wal-Mart, I guess because I was not escorted out! They must have thought I was really excited about a roll back in price I had found! This weekend my nephew will turn 9. Holy crow! Where has the time gone?

This is Ben. He weighed 6 pounds 8 ounces and was 21 inches long!

He was soooo cute!!!

This is me holding Ben for the first time. I look like I am 12! Wish I looked that way now!

Here is Ben this fall.

He was really loving do his homework and the fact I was taking his picture!

Here is a better picture of him! Such a stud!

Can't believe that the zit covered baby is now a young man. The baby acne is a whole other story that involves tears, phone calls, and specialists that boiled down to bad zits!

Anyhow, happy early birthday Ben! We love you!
