Holy Cow Ben (love name given by Cael) When did you decide to go and get so big?!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! This is a very important year for you! Baptism is just around the corner and I am excited for you to have that blessing! You are so full of life, you live in the moment. A free spirit really! I admire how talented you are when it comes to sports, and how you have such a wonderful imagination! You are an important part of our family and your little brothers look up to you! I hope that you have a wonderful year and that you learn and grow! Always tell yourself that you can do anything you put your mind to! You are a very intelligent young man!
