Happy Birthday Ben!

So my baby turned 4 today! It is so hard to believe he is 4! Although if you were to ask him he would tell you it is taking forever! That boy is in such a hurry to grow up. Ben greatest wish would be to catch up to Matthew!

So the day started early and noisily with a new guitar. This boy was born to strum and boy has he got the moves!

Check out the look of anticipation on all of their faces!

So Ben got a reconditioned bike. Now the reason he got a recon one and not a new one is we couldn't find an appropriately sized bike! So we were given this one by a neighbour and Nathan sprayed it.

He is still having problems holding it up as it is heavier than his 30cm bike!

But once he get moving, nothing can stop him!

As one could only expect from Ben he had a monster truck birthday cake. It was rather symbolic that the monster truck is crushing the big red car. There are no more little boys in this house. Only big boys occupy our house apparently!

This monster truck is called "Our Black Thunda" This name has been invented by Ben as it is a cross between "Outback Thunda" and the radio stations "Black Thunder"!

Now the birthday boy got a bit sooky for the birthday cake.

But Mummy talked him around.

Until he managed to blow out his candles.

We didn't have a party for Ben as this year was Ryan turn for a party but we did have the usual crowd come over for cake and a cuppa. Nathan got roped into reading to Harry. Harry hero worships Nathan as Harry believes Nathan knows everything about everything!
