The weekend before Ben's birthday, we headed up to Dallas to visit the Kitchen's and see little Harvey's baby blessing! Oh he is so sweet and cute. We had a great time, as always, with them. They spoil us.
Liss made Ben a birthday cake. It was SO good. I loved having friends with us to celebrate Ben's birthday!
These boys have a lot of fun together.
Ben's birthday was on Monday, so we decorated the house (not that you can see it, Liam actually tore most of it down before Ben got home. He thought his Iron Man could hang on the streamers.) He got lots of candy and nuts.
We tried out this huge tres leeches cake. Happy 31!
As always, our awesome selfies with bad lighting and so-so phone camera. But I still love this picture.
On Tuesday, we went out on a date to Lupe Tortilla. They had the BEST fajitas ever. They came recommended and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Then we went to Nordstrom Rack and got some nice clothes using his dad's birthday gift card. It's fun seeing him shop for himself.
Ben has accomplished a lot in the last year. First, with his family, he is trying to make sure he gives every oz of energy he has left to the kids when he gets home. He always says that his biggest goal in life is to be their best friend. Second, he makes sure that I am happy. I'm such a better person when I have more Ben time. He treats me so well, makes sure I know that he is grateful for my efforts as a mom, helps me sort through my thoughts and tries to help me get a break.

Third, I feel that he has progressed in his career moreso in the last year than ever before. Part of it is opportunity, and a lot of it is Ben's efforts with those he works with. He loves his job, the work that he is doing is exactly what he wants to be doing. There is great potential in this company and we really like them. The people he works with are just GOOD people. One of his coworkers even told him to go home because, "your wife has two hands and three kids." Haha. LOVE that coworker.
Fourth, he has worked hard to develop relationships with the young men in our ward. He is with the teachers and he's always thinking about how he can make sure they stay involved and interested in the activities. It's been a juggling act with trying to fit everything in. But he is always trying to "manage his time better." Ben will never stop trying to improve.
Looking forward to another great year with this wonderful man!
