Spider man Pictures







I took soooooo many pictures of my son - son that
if you view them on the camera with the button
held down, it looks like he is climbing up the
wall in a very speedy climb.

A Fact about Ben that someone may not know......
He served 4 years in the Marine corps and has
served and been in many places of our world.
Iraq was one.
He is the strongest kid (adult) that I have ever
known. Physical and mental.
Very proud of the kid (adult)

Check out Skylar Deans huge proud smile.
He kept yelling - Thats my dad !!!!!!

    Hey!!! My comment took. How can it be? This is so awesome.... Yeah, I like the name Ben-jammin'. But another thing is buggin' da tar out of me. Does Skylar spell his name SkylAr or SkylEr? I seem to get it wrong every time I try. And I try both ways! I'm so confused. Even more important: Every time Barb or Jot take my picture I have the same pink shirt on. This has gotta stop. Next time I'll wear my other shirt.
