7 Months

Benson is 7 months now and he is busy!!

He had both of his bottom teeth break through. (You may have to enlarge the picture to see them.)
He also got his first big "owie".  He was in a walker and within seconds was in the kitchen just as my sister-in-law opened up the oven door.  She turned for just a second to put down the food she had pulled out, and Benson touched the oven door.  It was so sad, he screamed for at least 20 minutes.  I felt terrible because I couldn't do anything to comfort him!  As soon as Ben got home, he and my brother-in-law Eric gave this little guy a blessing and within minutes he stopped crying and even started laughing!  He didn't cry about his injury again.  The power of the priesthood is such a real thing!  I am so grateful for a husband who is worthy to hold that priesthood!!

Lots of Expression

I love this little girl!!

He Crawls

Benson started scooting a bit a couple weeks ago, but this is the first video of a more "advanced" crawl!  He is getting faster and faster by the day.

Valentines Day

For Valentine's Day this year, we went to Castles'n'Coasters with the Benefields.  The kids had a blast!  Kenadee and Avie loved the 3 little kid rides and Sam and Kaylee loved all the big rides!  

We started with a round of golf, about halfway through, the girls were begging to go on the rides! :)
Ben got Benson a Transformer for V-Day.
Kenadee got a bear and a mini-rose from Daddy.
Ben spoiled me this year!  He sent me on a treasure hunt.  I found money all along the way, at the end was a card with more money and the promise of a babysitter while Aimee and I had a shopping spree!

I don't know how to change the order of the pictures, so this is the after of the last picture on this post.

Finger painting monster!!

Post rain, rainboot fun!!  Ok, more like mud fun!!
I think daddy's face needs to be decorated!!

So I finally decided to give in and load my pictdures onto my sister-in-law's computer.  She's been telling me to forever and I just keep thinking no, we'll be in our own place soon.  Well, here we go, I can now post pictures as things happen in life! :)
