Ben's 17th birthday started with heart shaped biscuits and sausage gravy! (4/9/15)
Then he, Jason, Grandpa and and Ethan headed for the raceway in Tooele.
Ben and Grandpa geared up and ready to roll.
Ethan got to drive a mini car.
While they were gone, the girls worked on a craft project provided by Aunt Janna.
Aunt Laura made an early trip to Orem to relieve Aunt Brenda who was tending for
Tyler and Katie while they went to the hospital to await the birth of their new baby.
Aunt Laura is showing Luke a picture of his
tiny new brother who was born that morning.

Luke thought he was cute, but wondered why he was so small. :)
First photos of Gabriel Lane Wilkins.
He was born at 11:35 a.m. He was 20 inches long
and weighed 7 lbs. 3 oz.
Ben and Gabriel share a birthday: April 9th! (Cousins born 17 years apart.)
It was a fun day in Levan. (Grandma and Luke)
Luke created a new game....
...with the water gun Aunt Laura got him.
It was called, "Birthday Ben makes lapses around the
tramp while I shoot him with my new squirt gun!" Super fun!!
Ben and his best brother and buddy, Ethan,
got some 4 wheeler time to celebrate the day.

A good looking pie for a good looking guy!
Ben lit his own candles.
Then...he blew them out with STYLE!
Ben: the birthday man!
We enjoyed the pie with a little ice cream.
Leia was glad she was here.
That evening, Leia and Luke met their tiny brother for the first time.
