Ben is 26!

Yesterday was Ben's birthday!

Here is Troy telling him Happy Birthday with a sign that I tried to put on him and he just kept ripping it off. Daddy still loved it though :)

I made him a yummy breakfast in the morning before he went to work. Then we went to lunch at the Pizza Pie Cafe because they were having a discount day. They have they yummiest dessert pizza ever. Ben fell in love with the Oreo... it looked gross but it was actually good. We stuffed ourselves and then I brought krispy kreme donuts into his office about an hour and a half later.

Ben had a lot of sugar, so he was pretty full and didn't want any dinner. When he got home I had the place decorated and had him open his presents. Quickly after that we headed to the game early so we could get really close seats. Thanks Brittany and mom for babysitting! We did sit pretty close and it was fun to be with Devin, Sarah, and their friend Alan. Sports are always more fun to watch with friends.

Afterward we went to Sonic and Devin and Sarah bought Ben a green apple cream slush (his favorite thing lately) and food for us. Ben got spoiled throughout the day. Not to mention that his mom took us to dinner the night before to Olive Garden and then had us over for cheesecake dessert. Usually we would have done that ON his birthday and then watch Groundhog Day, but BYU basketball is what he really wanted to do on his birthday. It made me happy to see how excited he was about the game. He truly is the love of my life.

I tried to take a picture with Troy holding the sign... "What is this? and why won't you let me suck on it?"

"I will smile because you are making noises, but I will continue to rip the sign.."

Ha. Oh I just love my little prince.

PICTURE UPDATE
Here is Mom and Maddy when we were doing our morning workout. Go girls!


Below is Troy after climbing up the stairs. The first time he decided to climb stairs, he just climbed to the top! I discovered him about half way and just let him keep going while I was watching. We still don't have a gate... so I just have to watch him. He loves the stairs though.
