Our oldest kid and total rock star tuned 11! The time is just flying right by and he is growing up. His birthday was on Thursday right before the long Memorial Day weekend. We started out the day with breakfast in bed as always — loving the Tobasco on his tray as he is learning all kinds of yummy food variations from his dad (they are both much braver than I am with food :)
I"m pretty sure these boxes were all Legos with a few extras and a birthday outfit! This boy is all about Legos.
Joseph and Luke and I snatched Bean from school for a special birthday lunch at Jimmy John's. And about an hour later we grabbed the girls from school and headed straight down to SG for the holiday weekend (which usually ends up being a birthday weekend for us with our May babies!)
Ahhh, lovely green grass once we made it to St George. And assorted Swig cookies to celebrate our birthday boy!
Bentley at 11 is full of life and energy. He loves building Legos, golfing with Joseph, running (as he is training for a 1/2 marathon in July) and playing games on the iPad. He's smart and hilarious and affectionate and kind, although he does love to tease his younger siblings which can often lead to fights. He's generally really easy going, easily forgiving, and eager to play with friends and the younger kids — he and Luke are pretty awesome wrestling and chasing buddies. Joseph and I are thrilled that Bean is our oldest and that he came into our lives on a hot day in Phoenix 11 years ago forever changing us and making us a family!
