Happy Birthday Benton!
N I N E.
Unbelievable.
For Benton's birthday this year, Britton and Benton had a boys weekend at BYU.
They went to the Father and Sons Camp.
It was 3 full days of sports with just Dad.
I'm not sure who had more fun, Britton or Benton.
The weekend was complete with a morning devotional from Jimmer Fredette.
Benton's got the fever.

Benton continues to be such a sweet boy.
His strength right now is clearly his sensitivity to others.
He is a good friend.
I find this strength particularly special being that he is young boy.

A funny quirk about Benton right now is his punctuality.
He is obsessed with being on time.
He likes to know the where and when to EVERYTHING.
He nearly falls to tears when we are running late.

Benton's favorite foods right now are Stroganoff, Hawaiian Haystacks and Pizza Puffs.
All of these dishes are high carbs and high fat.
He BEGS for me to make them.

Benton and Max play non stop together right now.
Max idolizes Benton, as does Preston.
"Tenton" is still at the top of Preston's list.
These boys are so lucky to have each other.
They are so lucky to have Benton as their older brother.
We are so lucky to have Benton in our family.

Happy 9th Birthday Buster.
We love you.

What a sweet tribute to a really impressive little guy. Happy Birthday Benton! And keep on being punctual, maybe it will rub off somehow on my kids some day. Usually it's me falling apart to tears when we're late. :)
