HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY BEN

It is hard to be believe that you are already 6 years old Ben!  It seems like yesterday we brought you home from the hospital.  The past 6 years have flown by! I am so proud of you and love watching you grow up every day!  We kicked off the Birthday festivities with a 6 year doctor appointment.  Fortunately Ben had all of his shots last year so it was an easy trip!

Ben's 6 year stats:
Weight: 41.8 pounds which is in the 26% range
Height:  45.5 inches which is in the 53% range
BMI:  14.2 which is in the 13% range
I think you need to start eating more big guy! The doctor didn't seem concerned though and his favorite thing is to play sports so he is always moving.  He better watch out though!  Alex is only 5 pounds behind him!

We celebrated Ben's birthday in style last weekend with a Hockey birthday party...we are still strongly encouraging hockey for neighborhood recreation only.  We will see who wins the battle though and if he eventually wears us down and has us driving to the ice rink at 5am!
 One excited boy! He is all ready for the party to begin!
 Once again I may have had a little to much fun with the decorations! I blame it entirely on Etsy and Pintrest! I was happy with how it turned out though.




We invited the neighborhood kids and their families and our families again this year to the party and went with the more the merrier.  Ben was such a happy soon to be 6 year old!
 Ryan and Ben prepared some fun games for the kids! Ben is demonstrating how the shooting contest works.
 The kids are getting ready for the hockey gear relay.
Alex was desperate to partake in the fun!  He thinks it was his birthday to.  Fortunately Ben didn't get to upset that every time we talked about his birthday we also had to tell Alex we were celebrating his birthday as well!








So many presents!

We celebrated the day of Ben's birthday by going swimming at Lifetime and out to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner.
Ben and Alex had fun diving for the rings

Happy Birthday Ben! We look forward to celebrating many more with you!
