Benjamin's Birthday

Benjamin is now a deacon!!! Wow, where did the years go? We did a dinner and cake for his birthday. Here's some pics from his childhood, to now. I know it's taken me a month to post this, but it's worth the wait - look how cute he was as a little tike.....
Benjamin growing up....

He has always been the 'child of happiness' - which is his namesake.


Benjamin is extremely talented musically - he plays the clarinet and does very well. He also loves to take care of his younger brothers and helps mom out whenever she needs it.

Benjamin had a basketball game right before we sang to him - he loves b'ball.

Benjamin got new clothes and was very excited to start wearing them.

Among Benjamin's musical and intellectual talents, he is an avid reader - can't put down a book - and has an incredible photographic memory - to the point he doesn't study more than 5 minutes for anything, since he already looked at the stuff once! He also loves to play strategy games, when he's allowed on the computer. He is an extremely sensitive, passionate young man, who cares very much about those around him. He loves Samuel and Samuel adores him immensely! - Benjamin has become Samuel's babysitter when Sariah is on a babysitting job. He does great most of the time........we love his determination and patience. He shows us noble examples of service.
