Happy Birthday, Baby!

"Hello, my Lover!" (guess the movie)

So, I put this bunch of pictures of you together and previewed it. Then, all of a sudden, I noticed a big lump burning in my throat and tears spilling out of my eyes. I love you SO much! You make me SO happy and I am grateful to have you in my life. It's always "quite the adventure" and I like it. I hope you know how much you mean to me. You are my rock, my hero, and my best friend.

I love you!

Happy Birthday!

Hi Ben,

Just wanted to send along best wishes for a great birthday from the
Kendall's in Alaska!
We have sure enjoyed our friendship with you over the years... most of
your life while growing up in Alaska.. Wish we had some really
embarrassing pictures!

Then you met Nancy, what a wonderful gal, you are both so blessed to
have each other!
It has been so fun to stay in touch with you and see you grow together
and as a family through the great times and the hard times.

Ben, you do so much to serve and help others, just know that on your
day we will be thinking of you and wishing that you will have the very
best birthday possible!

Love, Dennis and Barbara Kendall

there are so many stories, from the day we met (purity test) to arctic winter games (wet spot) to mikes birthday (surprise) to thanksgiving in phoenix (bad eggs!) to your son (darth vadah) to golfing; apache creek (fore!), dinosaur (cart girl), and all courses in between. but most of all when i think of you i think of you as always being there as a friend. you are truly one of the good guys and i am honored to have you in my life.

i hope you have a wonderful birthday.

Hi Ben!
According to the dictionary:
birth-day n.
The anniversary of a person's birth or of the date of origin of something.
According to the calendar:
It's your anniversary today!

Love ya!

Dear Ben,

Have a fabulous Birthday!

We pondered what to say that would be funny but we are at a loss. However we are very glad that you live close enough to visit now and then. You, Nancy and Hayden are a part of our family.

Love,
Keith & Connie

To a good friend and an even better ... friend (couldn't think of anything
clever). I hope that you have a very happy birthday today. I will get you
those nose hair/inner ear hair clippers that Nancy says you want (now that
you have aged and you have to worry about that kind of stuff). We miss
having you and the family next door. We will get down there and visit you
sometime in the next year or so to see all of the good things you have done
to the once down trodden Essary farm. Be good and be careful around fires
and heavy machinery.

Brandon, Jessica and kids Walters
