March 2012 Happy Birthday Benson

HAPPY Birthday Month Benson! You are 9! WOWZA! We drove to Cedar City on your birthday and stayed with the Bunnell Clan for a weekend. We had so much fun and you even got to skip a day of school, which you thought was cool.

You amaze me! Even though I am not big into Harry Potty I knew what this was when you asked me. :O) You are SO talented and artistic. You are so creative...I LOVE IT!

 We all went to The Lorax for you and Haylees Birthday. Your favorite part was "THAT'S A WOMEN???"

We got to go sledding again and it was a blast. We all flew down the hill, and laughed and got all tired out. We are so lucky to have such a great Papa!

the Last Days of Summer

It took you 2 weeks to FINALLY hold your baby sister....and I actually just said "Here I have to run in the kitchen," and plopped her in your arms....when I came back in this is what I saw and RAN for my camera. To capture this sweet moment of you just loving your baby sister!

Grandma Patsy came to town to hang out with you guys while I caught up on some sleep.

She still brings you gum and your eyes still light up like they did when your were 3!

You begged me to set up the big tarp to slip n' slide!  I told you it wouldn't work since it's not a hill...you proved me wrong and you guys played for hours!

Surfin' it up!

First day of 2nd Grade!  You are SO Handsome! I just want to kiss those cheeks! I love when you let me do your hair all spiky...it reminds me of when you were a little man!

I love you MY Boy!

Fun... and a BIG brother....AGAIN

You are the best big brother any sister could ask for. You decided that you were big enough to bounce ALL 4 girls in a game of crack the egg....you tried and tried and made me laugh all the while

I love when I get to do thing JUST with you. All the girls went to a birthday party so we went and got an ice cream and washed the car. You made sure to point out all the extra places I needed to scrub a little harder at.

The MOST exciting news about July was the birth of your baby sister.  You were SO hesitant to even touch her, but I know as you grow you will learn to be confident in holding and helping out with her.  This picture touches my heart...you are so special to me! I love you boy! 

My one...my only... my favorite BOY!!!

You are so handsome.  You are shy, and quiet, and yet totally LOUD and a stinker! As of now you are my only boy, and I love it.  I love that you have learned to love it and embrace having 4 (+1 soon) sisters.

Thank you for your smile and for your love!

i love you sweet heart!

My boy

A little bit about my 1st Baby!  Since you finished 1st grade you are missing school, but getting over it by having fun with friends and your sisters. You love our dog, Derby and are definatlet the one who spends the most time with him. (you and Mrs. Lewis, last day of school)

You are so funny.  I love getting my camera out and snapping your silly faces. You are so handsome and growing up so big!

I LOVE THIS picture, your cletched teeth and eye on the ball... you smacked that out into the field. You have had SO much fun playing Couch Pitch and have really surprised me with your SKILLS!!!

You wanted to paint some stuff for your room so I cut out Arrows, your name, and we painted frames for your awesome ART! Your room is looking GREAT and I am so glad you wanted to help me make is AWESOME! 

You are getting really excited to have another baby sister, and excited that when she's a couple months old she gets to share your room and you get to protect her. I love you SO much!!! You are the BEST boy anyone could ask for.
Thanks for being MINE!!!

loves....mom
