Can't believe that we have a nine year old, but I guess 7 kids 9 and under does sound a lot better than 7 kids 8 and under, so we are glad that he had a birthday!
No big parties, just a lot of fun. We took just Ben and Jacob to Wonderland Park the night before his birthday. I couldn't ride most of the rides, but Ben and Jake were not afraid to ride anything. Unfortunately I forgot the camera, their faces were priceless! My favorite moment of the night was when Ben and I rode the "Fantastic Journey" ride. It is a hauted/spook house ride. He always talks about this ride and really wanted to ride it. I looked down at him half-way through the ride and he had his eyes closed and his head down. It made me laugh.
Ben is a great kid! I don't know what I would do without his easy-going personality and willingness to help. He is a great big brother and is growing up so nicely! He got a bike for his birthday. He has been needing this for a long time and was really excited to get it! We have a great bike riding neighborhood with hills and dips and hardly any cars. Now if we could just prevent it from getting too hot!

Happy Birthday Ben!!!
Ben is growing up so fast! It looks like he had a great birthday and you, once again, totally out-did yourself on the cool roller coaster cake! You are amazing, Em!
We're so glad to know Ben! We hope he had a great birthday. And you did an awesome job in the cake!
You guys do have a great neighborhood to ride bikes! Your cake looks awesome! I am SO impressed simply because I cannot do things like that. Glad Ben had a great birthday--he really is a great boy! It must be something about the name! :)
