Ben’s Birthday…

March 3, 2011 | Updates

I got back from Seattle on the 15th and Ben turned 11 on the 17th. I had to throw together a party pretty quickly, but got it done. What Ben really wanted for his birthday was a .22 gun. So, we all pooled our money (parents and grandparents) and got him a gun. We spent a little extra to make sure it was the safest .22 on the market and he’ll only be using it when he’s with his dad. It was a fun, though small, birthday party. But I think he had a good time.

Along with turning 11 comes the advancement from Cub Scouts to 11-year-old Scouts. So,we attended a small ceremony to advance Ben in Scouts and to watch him receive his Arrow of Light Award. He was pretty excited and proud of that accomplishment.
