Wordless Wednesday.....

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.......

I know it's been awhile since I've posted. Things have been pretty busy out this way between work, school and taking care of Avery. I will try to be better at posting new pics and updates. Here are some new pics. Enjoy!

Raegan's in the Top 5.........

Congrats are in order again to our daughter Raegan on making the Top 5 for the UIL Storytelling Competition at her school. They are still narrowing it down to 2 students and an alternate. We are so very proud of her on how well she has done. She has gotten lots of praise from her teachers and our friends and we are so proud! They have several more practices before the Top 3 are chosen so stay tuned and I'll keep you posted. Congrats Rae!!! We love you!!!

My lil Teddy Bear...

Here are some pics of Avery in one of his new outfits from Mimi & Big Daddy. I took these before we left to pick up Raegan from school. Enjoy!

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!

Congratulations Raegan!!!!!!!!!!!!!..............

Raegan made the A Honor Roll! We are so very proud of her for how hard she is worked! Congrats Raegan! We love you so very much! Keep up the great work!

Wonderful News!!!!!.....

Raegan's teacher has recommended her for Storytelling for UIL which is University Interscholastic League. The top second and third graders are picked to practice and Raegan was one of the 2nd graders picked! She will have tryouts in the spring to choose the top 3 students to go to competition. Her practice starts on November 26th. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers! We are so very proud of her and know that she will do wonderful!

Picture Fun...

Raegan took some pictures the other day of her & Avery. The kids had their friend Milla over and so I got a really cute picture of the 3 of them. Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Our Pretty Princess...

Today was Raegan's Fall Party at school. I wanted to take some pictures of her before she left for school. She loves posing for the camera.

Our handsome little guy...

As most of you know, our little guy is turning 3 next month. It's hard for me to comprehend at times. It seems like only yesterday we brought him home from the hospital. The more I look at him the less I see the baby that he used to be but more the little boy that he is turning into. He is potty training and doing well. I bought him his first Cars underwear this week. We're not yet ready to wear them out in public but he will be there before you know it. It's amazing to me how fast both of our kids have grown. He talks more and more each day and is so expressive and vocal about his likes and dislikes. He loves the movie Cars, he loves Doodlebops, Bob the Builder, Thomas the Train, Handy Manny. He loves music and loves to dance and sing. We are so proud of him and everything he has accomplished. I took some pictures of him sleeping on the couch. This was a first time for this but he looked so adorable it melted my heart.
