Benjamin has become a HUGE fan of Monster Jam....this all began when he was just 20 months old. Yeah, we were just a little crazy to think that a one year old would wear the ear phones because of the noise....it didn't bother him a bit, we ended up leaving a little early because he refused to wear them towards the end. After the first Monster Jam show we started to buy him the hot wheels monster trucks which became an obsession for Kenny's dad, he bought him a new one each time he went to the store and would call all the time to check on which ones he had and which ones he needed for his collection! Monster trucks were Ben's "security" item, he constantly had several in his bed and usually one in each pocket and always took them in the car! He would play with them by lining them up like a train (funny, Elijah does that now!) and still, he enjoys playing with them. Well, we decided that this year we would treat him to the big show knowing that he would finally truly enjoy the whole experience! Kenny's Dad and brother Steven joined them and Ben was super excited to be able to see a show in person rather than recorded shows....he thought that because he was going to see a live show that he would be able to later see himself on TV when they show this..LOL, I was sorry to disappoint him!
Getting the autograph of the driver of his favorite truck--Grave Digger.
I'm looking forward to the day that I get better flash equipment for indoor lighting!
Ben is at that stage where he makes this same awkward, fake smile...sometimes it even looks like he just got bit by a bug or is scared or something...it drives me crazy....well, that's not a long drive for sure, ha!
this picture makes me laugh cuz it looks fake, like I staged one of Ben's trucks in the back yard in a pile of dirt!
