my good looker

Ben will be 10 on Monday. Double digits! Tomorrow night is his sleepover party and then our family party is the 1st. I put together a DVD of pictures covering 10 years of Ben to surprise him at the family celebration. It even has music and I can't believe I made it all come together and work! I watched it several times last night when everyone had gone to bed and yes, I cried buckets. He's my monkey face.

He's so handsome with that dark brown hair and blue eyes (blue, right?). Jose turns 12 on Sunday but we're having his party Saturday.

I did that for Jason's graduation party. I'm still crying buckets!

10? No way! I remember when he was just a little guy! So, so handsome. Happy early birthday, Ben!

Julie,
Ben's eyes are blue gray. Zack's eyes are really blue as DH's are - mine are green/hazel color.

awww! that is such a neat idea. Hanna turned 10 in Nov. so I know how you feel. It seems just yesterday she was a little one, now she is almost as tall as me! (which isn't very tall mind you!) Time flies!

Wishing Ben a very Happy Birthday. It is amazing how fast they grow up.

Love the pinkeeps, Nancy does a lovely job. The patterns are wonderful.

Have a good weekend.

What a great picture! You better lock him away, coz the girls are going to be after that good looking boy before long! Time flies so fast - it seems like just a few years ago when all mine were that age. Hope he has a great BD. Enjoy!

Oh, Tanya...keep looking at him this year. How fast the time goes by before the little boy is gone and moves along to young manhood. Ben is so handsome. You both will cherish that DVD forever. What a perfect thing to make. Makes me want to cry in lots of wonder memories for my children...my babies who are grown, over 30, married and with children.... It was only yesterday that they were little boys and a little girl. :]
