Celebrating Benny!!!

30 years ago, on November 25th, 1979 Brad and Patty Sass brought this little guy into the world. They named him Benjamin Daniel after they saw it on a graduation card. His pictures all say Benji on the back. He says the nickname never stuck, most people call him Benny now. I call him Daddy a lot so that Deacon will, when I call him Benny all the time Deacon starts calling him Benny and he doesn't like that much.
9 weeks old, trying cereal for the first time. I see a lot of both of our kids in his face. Rowans face is shaped like that, both boys have those ears and Deacon has that full mouth.


I have seen that smile on both boys faces. He sure was cute, and bald. Deacon and Rowan both had more hair than Ben had.


He looks so serious here. I would love to see who is to the left of him in this picture, what is making him concentrate so hard?

Showing off his muscles! He was about 3 1/2 months old in this picture. Brad said he took most of the pictures of his kids when they were young, which makes sense, he's still snapping pictures all the time and has an awesome camera. Benny's baby pictures look so much better than mine do. No offense, Mom. I think Brad just has an eye for photography.

His eyes got blue really early. They are still a super light color of blue.
This was at about 6 months old. Deacon is having a hard time with these pictures, he keeps fighting with me telling me they are of Brother and not Daddy. I don't think he understands that Daddy used to be little like him.
At about 9 months old, I'm not sure if he is actually walking or holding onto a railing, but he sure is cute!


So, this is where Deacon got his love for the toothbrush! I have never seen a kid ask to brush his teeth as much as Deacon does! He probably requests a tooth brush 3 times a day.

Love the teeth! This looks like Deacon did at about 1 year.

Two year old Benny playing in the leaves, he couldn't remember whose yard this was in. I can still see that baby in his face.
Awww, he had a trading card! Playin socker when he was 10. Now, that's the Benny I know. He sure was cute back then! That smile has not changed one bit, just got more hair around it now! Happy Birthday, Benny! I love you!
