Ben

 Ben has been working hard. He loves his job as a civil engineer. He thrives in land development. I love hearing about all of his projects and what he is working on.

Ben is a busy man and doesn't get to sit much lately. But when he is, he is usually surrounded with all three children. Scripture time is always a challenge with these high energy bodies, but they also like to be close to dad. 

The kids beg Ben to either play on the tramp or play the Wii with them. Especially since I really don't like jumping as my belly gets bigger.

Ben leads our family nights and has been teaching the kids how to conduct. It's adorable. We miss Uncle Brayden and wrote him a letter a couple of weeks ago.

These were the kids questions completely on their own. Ben helped Katelyn write hers of course.

Ben is still over the teachers. He loves working with them.
Ben has had a goal to workout everyday, so he has been doing a lot of sit ups and push ups at night.
He finished our garage floor. He would be quick to chime in here and say that we did it together, but I only helped with the flakes. Usually I am all over this kind of thing, but I was pretty tired from activities that week and being in the first trimester. He worked on this late at night, for several nights, after doing a bunch of service with the young men that week (Eagle project.)

I'm grateful for all of his help when he is home and his work on the random projects in the house, like the random lighting issues, taking all of our old stuff to DI and the dump, and deep cleaning. I think one of Ben's top qualities is being a self motivated hard worker.
