"Ben Barker"

Griffin really loves his dad. He's his favorite person in the world- hands down. He also has been calling him "Ben Barker" the past little while (he heard me call him that once and thought it was funny). Everywhere we go he tells strangers "My daddy's name is Ben Barker"...its kind of hilarious. He wants to do everything his dad does. Shave, shower, wear his shoes, eat a "meat sandwich" with his dad, you name it.
Its also a great trick to get him to do things as long as Ben does it first:).

Alvin & the chipmunks anyone?

We celebrated Ben's 35th Birthday this month. We went to dinner with friends & family and then he went race car driving with his friends. He's a leap year baby so it always gets a little tricky and he's a little sensitive about it, but I think he had a great day. Happy Birthday to the BEST husband and father we could ever ask for!
ps- I'm not sure whats going on in this picture....

Ummm, hilarious that Griffin is saying Ben Barker. Too cute. Glad to see that Ben had a great birthday. Jared was going to make some wise A remark on the bday text he sent - about him never having a real bday. I told him not to because EVERYONE does and it actually makes Ben sad cuz he is sensitive about his wanna-be-bdays. :( Can't wait to party with you guys next weekend!

Whatever you do, don't show us any photos of your teeth and your tummy.

So Ramsey was right, Ben is practically 40. (But really, I didn't know he was only two years younger than Vic--this makes me happy for some reason, like we are on the same time line with having kids and old husbands).

G is too cute. "My name is Ben Barker."
