Sir Benj and the Dragon

Oh my! There is a dragon among us!!! Whatever shall we do? Hmm....


let's have a party!!!


I can not remember him EVER getting so excited about a birthday present. It would have to be a gun, wouldn't it????


At least he won't shoot his eye out!


Poor, unsuspecting dragon. He has no idea what is about to happen to him.


Gunshot to head the usually does the trick.


On second thought he will do the knightly thing and use a "sword" to cut off his head. (he got a knight costume for the sole purpose of wearing it to his party, then come party day.... no, I'll just wear my Auburn shirt and jeans)


Dad got the first shot with the new gun so he could see how it worked. (I think Dad was quite jealous; he wants one of these for himself now)


Like father, like son


Benjamin's first shot

Lots of male bonding going on, all gun related.....



Can you believe my sweet little Samuel even got in on it??


My lovely niece, Chelsea. She is growing up too fast. It seems like she ought to still be the sweet, curly haired, angel faced little girl in frilly dresses.

Shockingly, Benjamin still has all his teeth in tact. This is the first birthday in a while where he has not had a lost tooth. (although-his ACTUAL birthday is on Wednesday-AND he does have a couple loose ones, so who knows????)
