Super Mario Turns Six

My baby is six! These treat bags for his party pretty much sum up his interests at present. Everything is about Mario these days. Ben loves the Wii and Legos. He has grown up soooo much this year. Ben is an accomplished reader, great student and enjoys school. He loves his buddies the most and plays ball with them at recess. He is a great big brother to our crew. He is extremely obedient and very helpful. He gets up happy each morning and ready to start the day. Benjamin is especiallly tender with little Henry. I find him some mornings standing next to the baby's crib talking to him, while we get up. He is getting really good at drawing and loves to make pictures. He just gave a very grown up talk in church with confidence. We love watching him grow and mature into a handsome boy. He is a great example to his brothers and friends.

He enjoyed all his lego gifts from friends and family.

Our traditional trip to Toys R' Us. Wearing the crown is still cool!

Blowing out the candles at our family party with cousins. We also had a Star Wars cake at Grandpa and Grandma Jones' house. Birthday week is great.

My miserable attempt at a Mario cake in an hour. Ben wrote his name and helped me. He loved it, which is what matters in the end.

We had our friends over for a little party and played baseball at the end of our street in the "grassy area" with daddy. Ben loves his friends.

Everyone got to decorate their own cupcake with candies.

Some of our favorite friends. (Lukey's face is classic!)

Happy Birthday to my sweet boy. We love you bud.
