Summer Birthday #3 - Benjamin turns THREE!!!

Lovin' his new movies from Gma Kay :)

Just born...Baby B :)

Big brother "geeding him nilk" :)

Our little B...who isn't really so little anymore (but really he still is) turns THREE today. I can hardly believe it and am having such a great time looking back at a lot of his pictures (read: it would take me 8.7 years to post them all here esp. since most of them are not enhanced or resized yet!) Benjamin's baby book(s) are my next project for when I am done shooting this fall and then will come the boys' winter John Deere blankets. (Must.do.these.things.before.baby#3 arrives!)

Back to B: he is one of the sweetest little boys I know...always looking out for his older brother - thinking of him when it comes to toys or snacks etc. and also is quite a fearless when it comes to certain things...like jumping in the pool. He def. enjoys life and goes all out! He is my snuggle bear but is also fiercly independant sometimes and gives others a run for their money when it comes to racing etc. He loves to move around - run, bike, walk, dance, wiggle, etc. B is also my musical one of my two boys and can carry a tune pretty well. I have always sung to him and now he enjoys walking around the house singing too - esp. the "I may never march in the infantry song" - he even hums the tune sometimes also.

B is always ready to pray and at two years old prayed fervantly that "we would obey (the Lord)and wuv eachuver and be kind to eachuver". B is simply a joy to be around - esp. when he's alone. He's agreeable and pleasant and loves to just hang out with us. We are incredibly blessed to have him in our family and are overjoyed that he and Caleb can be such good brothers to each other (when they are not doing normal brotherly things like making each other cry ;). We pray that they will grow in God's grace and to love eachother with a brotherly bond that is unbreakable.

Happy Birthday little B - we love you more than words can even say and pray God's protection over your life...but more importantly that you will grow to love Him with all your mind, heart, and soul and that you will yearn and seek His will for your life as you serve Him. Happy Birthday little man - xoxoxoxooxo! Mommy and Daddy :))

New birthday toys with gift cards - picked them out all by themselves :)
