I'm going to meet up with a friend of mine from my BYU days. It's been 27 years since we've seen each other. In anticipation I went through a photo album from "the day" to find pictures of him and I at the time. Becky and John were living up in Provo at the same time so I got close to their kids, mostly Jacob and Ben. Rheanna was just born and Chelsea wasn't even a thought yet. These are two of the pictures from the album.
In the bottom photo, my boyfriend at the time is reading the boys a story. What does Ben have on his ears you ask? This shows the early creative mind of Ben. They are the barrel halves from the game, A Barrel Full of Monkeys. When I asked Ben why he had them on his ears he told me he was playing helicopter pilot, these were his makeshift headphones. Clever. If you couldn't figure it out, that's Jacob on his lap and in the bottom left corner, Jenni's head.
In the top photo, well... that's just self- explanatory... look at Ben's shirt and the colors he's wearing. Jacob, I'm sure was superboy to Ben's superman. So precious and let me say it again to all of my younger kin... IT GOES FAST!!!!! Appreciate every day!

Those are great pictures. Maybe, Ben couldn't hear the story over the helicopter headphones.
Apparently my comments from yesterday didn't get posted. So here's a repeat.
I'ts always fun to look back and take a little walk down memory lane. Thanks Syd.
I made the shirt Jacob is wearing in the top picture. It says 'I Need Love Too!' I also remember Ben doing that with the monkey barrels. He was always coming up with something. And talk about white trash furniture!!! LOL Oh my, the days of the poverty student.
BTW - Check out the baby carrier on the floor behind Ben in the top picture. That was the norm.
My favorite are Jacobs glasses
Those are his REAL glasses.
