Can I tell you how much I love the age 4! Happy Birthday Ben!!

Yesterday Ben turned 4!  This little guy has brought so much joy into our lives. I love being mom!  He is at such a fun age. He has turned into my best helper and loves to please me and be a big brother.  Here are a few pictures of how our little guy has changed through out the last 4 years. I love to sit and talk with him and hear his stories.  Happy Birthday we sure do love you!!!

Unfortunately all of my baby pictures are in another hard drive so the youngest I have is him in AZ when he was 4 1/2 months old

7 months
1 year
2 years
3 years
the dimples that are sure to break many hearts...
