-he attempts to say everything we ask him to- its very cute
Bennett loves:
To be outside- he wants to be out all the time. During the hurricane the winds were horrible, trees were falling all over and Bennett was crying and saying please over and over again because he wanted to be outside. If someone goes outside without him he is so offended and cries. Its so sad, but cute.
Sesame Street Song videos- we saw one once and he kept wanting it over and over so we started to explore others in hopes to get the one out of our heads and now we have 15 in our heads at all times. Any time someone is as the computer he says please and brings his hands close to his face and gestures to be picked up...its hard to explain we will have to catch it on video sometime!
Chasing- he loves to chase anyone-and be chased. He is always running all over the house.
Fruit- Bennett would eat fruit ALL Day every day if he could.
Singing songs- he loves people to sing songs to him. He always signs for more and says please he loves pat-a-cake.
Talking on the phone- he loves to pretend he is talking to daddy on the phone - since thats who we talk to the most (whe he isn't around). He does this mostly with real phones but has occasionally used pieces of paper, food and other items as phones.
Dads Hats- He always wants one on and wants Dad to put one on. He thinks its a sign that we are going outside or going somewhere. Its very cute!
He loves
coloring
cherry tomatoes
sitting in chairs and benches (like a big boy)
babies- real or in pictures
big books - thick college level ones (he walks around the house thumbing through them)
Macaroni and Cheese
I had just a wonderful birthday - starting off with a call from Jeffrey and then tons of excitement at seminary!! There were banners, posters, treats and gifts - WOW fun.
Dad took me to LeRoy's for breakfast. We split a spanish omelet and hash browns - so yummy. During the day I was showered with gifts and visits from my wonderful friends. What a blessing. Had nice phone visits. Dad picked me up after work and after he did some culinary magic (see below - Hawaiian Tin Foil Dinners) - we headed to the beach.
As you can see we had the entire beach to ourselves. It was a little bit breezy - but beautiful.
Here you can see our dinner cooking on the grill. Let me just tell you -IT WAS DELICIOUS - we were scraping the foil.
Strolling on the beach with my great date!!
We ended the night with this delicious cake. Thanks for all the love. I always feel like a queen on my birthday.
No not our back neighbor Buck - a real buck. This guy has been hanging around the past two days. It has been a little hot and I find him in the shade of the house on the north side. He doesn't seem the least bit afraid of me. I have chased him out three or four times a day.
We are noticing everyday that Bennett is not so little any more. He is growing up so fast. We love being there with him every minute of the day. The past few weeks he got some new shoes and new clothes and that has made him look so grown up.
Thought you might want to see the great kids that I am hanging out with every morning. They are a great bunch and I am LOVING the Old Testament. 
Our Big Seth Boy
Last week Stefanie was in town to visit her family and we have a lovely visit. WE MISS THOSE KANSAS folks.
