HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEN

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Everyday I am grateful to have you in my life. I am lucky and I know it, any time I think of you I instantly smile. If I need a good laugh I just think of one of your "Benisms". You are truly selfless and always put Charleigh and I first. You make my world right. You would do anything in this world to make us happy, & I am. You are my best friend and have given me the two best gifts ever: yourself and Charleigh. My writing skills and vocabulary cannot do you justice but everyone who knows you well knows what a truly wonderful person you are. Here are just a few of my favorite things about you(there are far too many to list them all.)

I love how easily you scare(and come out swinging)

I love that you can literally fall alsleep IN SECONDS!!! ANYWHERE

I love that you ride bulls, and am sad that you will be giving it up soon.

I love seeing you with Charleigh, or hear you both laughing down the hall or in the front yard.

I love that you are Handy. With cars, computers, construction, bulls and horses and great with people.

I love the way you get mad when I laugh at our arguments, during our arguments (even if they are infrequent)

I love that you are optimistic even when I try to bring you down. You will have none of it.

I love that you are a great friend and your friends can always count on you.

I love that you let me use your power tools even though it makes you cringe, and you think I am doing it all wrong.

I love that you don't mind changing diapers or calming a screaming baby.

I love that anytime a Led Zeppelin song comes on you play an "air instrument" and ask me "Do you know who this is?"

I love how you make up your own little sayings and think that you are the saying it right, everyone else just says them wrong. It is Unanamyos not Anonymous but who is counting?

I love that you aren't afraid to laugh at yourself and are not sensitive to all of the people who laugh at, I mean with you.

I love that you are loved by so many people. and that you love them right back

I love you. Happy 30th Birthday

Another Bullriding

This was Ben's 10th year of riding at the Washington Fair.
Aunt Lacy drove two hours to see Charleigh.

She loves seeing pictures now. Especially when they include her.

Grandma and Lacy watching the show

Emma, the stock contractor's daughter. Charleigh wanted to give her a kiss but Emma wasn't having it. She pushed Charleigh's face away.

Charleigh saw this bronze statue on the floor while I was cleaning and decided to take it for a spin. She eventually got bucked off and the ears got her in the tummy and she had two little bruises. Oh well add them to the other list of scrapes and bumps.

The Water Girl

We spent two hours swimming but she wanted to stay in the pool so we took her to water the horses, that would take her mind off of being upset. She was happy filling up the water then spraying the horses a little. Then she got a wasp in her water wing and got her first sting. Back to being upset. Her poor little arm was red for two days.

Her new Favorite hat

She found Kyren's hat (he is 6) and it fits her large head. That is one thing I can say she gets from me. SHe put it on and wore it all day and night at the bullriding. Dosen't she look cute?

Her Many smiles

THIS IS A REAL ONE...

break to see a bull buck.... "oh my goodness."

this is a "tkae the damn picture already" smile

and another.

What a Bargin....

When we were visiting at G & G Ferrell's we off ourse went to an auction where Charleigh found this hat and a stuffed goose all for under 50 cents. She wore the hat all day and then swithced it on and off all week with her other hats. In the last picture she is riding her goose. Get a'long little goosie.

At Grandaddy & Grandmother Ferrell's

Eating ice out of a bowl. Just look at her tongue.

More ice.... ahhhhhhh

playing outside.

With her Aunt Dawn.

THE THINGS THEY SAY......

5-12-10 Charleigh looked at me and said "Momma, you thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?" when I looked at her she "POPCICLES!!!"

4-14-2010

There was a lady in the grocery store that looked a little rough, alright a lot rough. Charleigh saw her and waited until we were around the corner to say with an amazed look on her face "Mom, she only had 2 teeth in her mouth" I laughed and told her it wasn't nice to say that and she said "but she do only have 2 teeth in her mouth."

4-14-2010 We were at the grocery store and I asked her if we needed milk. she said " I don't sank(think) so, I sank Dad said we have some...........next time you need to make a list!"

4-10-10 Charleigh looked at me from across the room and said "Mom, I love your heart."

2-2010 Charleigh saw one of her Valentines present at my Moms and she asked my mom what it was. My mom said "You are nosey." Charleigh said "No I'm not, I've got good eyes Grandma."

2-19-10 We were all in My Mom's hotel room that joined ours and it was time for all of the kids to take a nap. My Mom said "Looks Like this will be the Sleeping room." and Charity said "what will the other room be?" Charleigh answered quickly "the awake room, I guess." in a duh kinda way.

Anytime I say "ready fredy" or "sweet pea" or anything else like that to Charleigh she will say "NO I NOT, I A COWGIRL!"

11-9-09 Ben was on the phone with work in another room trying to stay away from noisy Charleigh. Charleigh walked in with a play phone up to her ear pretending to talk, she looked at Ben and said "ssshhhhhh, I am on the phone with work."

10-29-09 Charleigh was watching old videos of herself as a baby when she said "Daddy, I want to be that little again." Ben told her she could only be that little once and that it was kinda sad . Charleigh said " Yeah I would be sad if I was too little to ride Scooter."

9-5-09 We were driving back home after visiting family in Mississippi when Ben got a phone call so he pulled off the road. Charleigh said "What happened, did dad forget how to get out of Sissippi?"

8-2-09 We were at a birthday party for some family friends and Ben and Charleigh were getting something to eat. Charleigh was being really shy standing behind Ben and tapping her foot into his heel. When he asked her why she was being so shy she answered "Cause I don't want "enyone" to see my bread." she had a bun she was eating and I guess she was a little embarassed about it.

8-1-09 Ben was driving and made a wrong turn so he turned down a side street to turn around and said "opps this is a one way street." and he had to keep going to find another street. Charleigh started laughing and said "Momma, you gonna have to drive if Daddy keeps getting lost!"

5-15-09 Ben came into the room where Charleigh and I were sitting and he said his pants were getting too tight and that he felt like his belly was hanging over. Charleigh didn't say a word she went to pulling up my shirt and then said "wook at Momma's belly!"

5-11-09 Last night Charleigh got down one of our wedding pictures and asked "Momma why you murried?" I explained that when you love someone and I love her Daddy and she interupted me and said "No Mom, why did Dad Murry you?" I didn't have an answer I just laughed.

5-09 Charleigh came into my room and asked me if I was ready to get up and eat ceral one morning, I told her yeah and when I was walking down the hall she said "Mom your hair is crazy"

"You are funny" she said this as her hair is going in 1,000 different directions .

I was asking Charleigh what kind of cake she wanted this year for her birthday and she said "an Elmo cake, no blow out the candles." What she was saying was last year she had an Elmo cake but she was too afraid to blow her candles out. How did she remember that?

I was cleaning out Charleigh's closet yesterday, when she came in and said " Ahhhh C'mon Momma, don't make a mess, I am trying to clean up!"

We were in our room fixing the closet and Charleigh kept pretending like she was going somewhere. She would say bye-bye,bye-bye..... and Ben said "Goodbye and Good Riddens" Charleigh came marching back into the room and said

with her hands on her hips..... "HEY! What you talking 'bout?!" We were just laughing and she repeated herself until we answered.

Charleigh and I were making Halloween cookies and she leaned over and kissed my stomach. I asked her what she was doing and she said "kissin' the baby in your tummy"

I was brushing Charleigh's hair and she turned around and looked me in the eyes and said "easy, Momma."

I asked Charleigh if her daddy was silly and she said

"NO, STINKY, DADDY'S STINKY!!" I about died laughing!
