Ben is 12

Ben was the sweetest, happiest, calmest baby. He remains a sweet, happy, (mostly) calm young man.

He wanted socks, and specific athletic clothing like a new visor. He is really into styling his hair up in a certain way, and visors help him achieve a great look.


For his birthday, we had a deal for donuts so I brought them in at lunchtime for his class and then ate lunch with him. It was fun to see him among his friends.



He loves the Utah Jazz. JB took him to a game last month.


He also loves the Kansas City Chiefs, and competing against the other Young Men in their Fantasy Football League. 

Normally 12 would be a big birthday in our Church, but the change last year launched Ben into Young Mens and Scouts just about a month after he turned 11. It has been great to see him flourish in these responsibilities and opportunities all year.  My favorite is watching him carefully pass the sacrament. And I love it when it is his turn to hold the corded microphone in the front and take it to someone who needs to stay where they are to bear their testimony.
