Happy Birthday Ben

I can't believe my Ben is 6 years old!!! He was lucky enough to have Aunt Kristin, Aunt Heather and his cousins, Ethan and Camden, in town for his birthday. We had a little picnic at the playground. In case you can't tell, his cake is supposed to be a magnifying glass with bugs. One of his favorite past times is going outside to find critters and bugs. Jimmy told me that I needed to put a yellow dot on the cake which is supposed to represent the sun burning them up with the magnifying glass - ha ha! I told him no way!

Here are some fun facts about Ben:

He is so smart and good with numbers.
He loves to read.
He has the best blue eyes I've ever seen.
He loves to have his back rubbed - all the time.
He is very kind to animals - he wouldn't hurt a fly.
He likes to draw.
He eats his cereal without any milk because he doesn't like it soggy.
He likes to go to bed late and sleep in in the morning.
He will eat hot dogs every day 3 meals a day if I let him - which I don't;)
He is one of the sweetest, kindest, most thoughtful little boys I know!

We were at church and during the sacrament I was talking to Luke about Jesus. I told him that Jesus bled and died for us. Luke looked at me with a very concerned look and said, "Did Heavenly Father give Jesus a band-aid when he was bleeding?"

We were about to walk out the door so I told Luke to go potty. He came out of the bathroom saying, "I can't go! The batteries in my pee pee are dead!"

After Ben finished a big meal he said, "my tummy is so big and full I look like Grandpa now!" (sorry dad).

Ben pointed to a picture of the prophet and said, "That's President Monckley!"

We have a saying in our house. It's "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit!" But Ben has his own version of this. He says "you get what you WANT and you don't throw a fit!"

Jimmy said that he is allergic to babies. I asked him how he knew and he said that he gets sick when he smells them.

Ben asked me for another piece of halloween candy and I said, "Mommy is ready for the halloween candy to be gone" and Ben said, "Yea, gone in my mouth!"

We were driving past the gas station sign and Ben said, "I see a lowercase 5 on that sign."

I was talking to Jimmy about election day and asking him if his teacher voted and he said that she was "absent" that day. (I finally realized what he meant. She had just mailed in an absentee ballot.)

Ben put a whole bunch of toilet paper in the garbage and I told him that is a no, no. He said, "no it's a yes, yes!"

I tell Jimmy on a regular basis that needs to talk nicely. He yelled something across the room to me and I gave him the look that said I didn't like the tone of his voice and he said, "I was yelling nicely!"

Jimmy and I are listening to "Give Said the Little Stream" and Jimmy says "How does it talk?" I said "How does what talk?" He said, "The stream, it doesn't have a mouth, how can it talk?"
