Our Little Model.....

Raegan took this picture of herself the other day and I just love it and had to share. I think it's a beautiful picture of her!

Brotherly and Sisterly Love.....

Here are some pics of the kiddos I took the other day. It is so wonderful to see how much they love each other. Avery loves his sister and looks up to her. Raegan loves her brother and enjoys playing and reading to him. They are our two little peas in a pod.

End of School & Silly Pictures....

On June 5th was Raegan's last day of 2nd grade. On the 4th they had an awards ceremony. Raegan got an Honor Roll certificate for having straight A's and a Bug Award for raising her social studies grade 6 points. We are so very proud of her. It's hard to believe that our little girl is not only going to be 8 next month but a 3rd grader. Where has the time gone? Check out our pictures from the ceremony and some silly pictures of Avery. Enjoy!

CONGRATS TO RAEGAN, OUR UIL WINNER!!!....

Smile, You're on Kandid Camera.......

Raegan took these pictures of her and Avery the other day and had to share. Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Our Pretty Princess and Our Handsome Lil Prince Has a New Bed...

This weekend Avery got a new bed. Geoff set it up last night and we got him Cars sheets since he LOVES Cars. He loves his new bed and has been doing wonderful at night. I also took a picture of Raegan this morning before we left for school. Enjoy and have a great day!

Saturday at the Zoo......

Saturday, G, the kids, Rick, Laura and I went to the Fort Worth Zoo. The weather though overcast was perfect. The kids loved looking at the animals and Avery loved riding on his Uncle Rick's shoulders. He also loved that Aunt Laura let him hold his own ice cream. We had a wonderful time and the zoo was absolutely beautiful with lots to see. Check out our pics from our wonderful day. Enjoy!

So Happy Together & Our little Cheeseball.......

Congrats Raegan!!!!!!!!!!!.............

I know it's been awhile since I've updated but wanted to let you know that Raegan got picked in the Top 8 for UIL out of 21 students! She got a call back last week and we should know very soon if she made the Top 4 that will go on to competition. We are so very proud of her and she will always be a winner to us! Congrats Rae! We love you!

Baby powder anyone???......

Avery loves baby powder and always wanted it in his diaper when he was smaller and still loves it now. Yesterday when I was on the phone with my mom, Avery thought that would be a great time to get into the baby powder. He poured some on the floor, and on our tv in the bedroom and of course on his head. He looked so cute that I had to take a picture.

Family Fun Day at the park.....

Last Sunday we took our kids to the park in Little Elm. The kids had a great time playing on the swings, sliding and running around. We went down to the boat dock and looked around and had a really nice day. We had lunch at the picnic tables. Avery loved going down the slide and doing whatever Raegan did. He is our little daredevil. After the kids played we went walking around and found a small hiking trail. The kids enjoyed the trail. Avery fell down when he was running on the trail but got up like a trooper. Raegan loved looking at nature and we all had a great time. Here are some pictures from our day. Enjoy and have a great week!

Thank You Mom & Dad!

Dear Mom & Dad,

Thank you so very much for watching the kids so Geoff and I could have some time together! The kids had a wonderful time! We truly appreciate it! We love you and miss you much!

Happy 2008!

Happy 2008! I know it's been awhile since my last post. Things are going great here in the Bennett household. We had a wonderful Christmas and New Years and hope you did as well. Avery turned 3 on December 27th and is doing amazing potty training! We are so proud of him and he is almost there! Raegan is doing amazing in school and in her chapter book reading. We are so proud of her! The kiddos got to spend some time with Mimi & Big Daddy and had a wonderful time. This was Avery's first time away from us for more than a night and he did wonderful! Big Daddy made him a tent and put on Cars for him and he was loving it. Raegan & Mimi made a wonderful chocolate cake and played games and had a blast.

Santa came early for the kiddos this year so we could leave on Sunday and have Christmas with Mimi & Big Daddy, Kevin, Lindy, Bobby, Melissa & Evan. It was a great trip to see them and we had a wonderful time! Check out our pictures from the trip. Happy 2008!
