Proud Momma

Its moment s like these that make my day!


We registered Benji for preschool last week so I set up our chalk board he got for his birthday and talked about letters. The next day I was so excited to see Benji write his name for the first time. Completely on his own he asked me to spell his name, he wrote each letter as I said it. I thought it was so cute I took a picture, he didn’t quite finish but can you blame him it is a long name for a little guy.

New home

Yeah!!! They have finished construction on our new home and we moved in the end of July. We love our new home. We are getting settled and have been enjoying the community pool with cousins and friends, and using the walking trail along the river. Benji got to help his uncles put up our new mail box. He loves any excuse to get out in the dirt and dig. Putting the new sprinklers in with Dad has also given him plenty opportunity to get dirty. But it has not been all work and no play, we also got to go up in the mountains with the family. We rode the ski lift up the mountain, played Frisbee golf, played in the stream and hiked down the mountain. Benji is an amazing hiker he never complained once!

Family Get togethers

We have had some exciting adventures with Dans side of the family. We even visited Grammie & Poppy in Peru during their mission presidency. We always have great times with all of Dads brothers and sister and their families. Lots of games, new experiences and even big extended family reunions.

Family Get togethers

Family is very important to us. We love getting together with the family. No matter what activity we do together Benji has a great time with his cousins, aunts, uncles, Nana and Papa. Last year we went to the Oregon cost to explore the ocean. Benjamin truly fell in love with the beach. Some of the things we did this summer with moms extended family were, camping, hiking, swimming in the beautiful lakes & rivers of Washington state, eating out, imaginary play, goofing around, road trips, and lots of bar-B- Q’s. Although he had previously been very timid of rides this summer Benjamin experienced his first theme park rides with great enthusiasm at Silverwood and did not want that part of the trip to end.
