Dason and Presley growing up so fast

Fish Farm Fun!

Papa feeding the fish to try and help Kanyon catch them, she was fearless, she wanted to hold the fish and pet them, she was putting the other kids to shame.
Here is Bailey with one of the fish she caught
Kanyon was watching the mouth move, it was so funny!
Here is Das with one of his big catches of the day.
Presley caught this fish but did not want to get close to it at all, she liked to feed them and catch them but after that did not want anything to do with the fish.

Presley looks so BIG!

Presley was feeding Jerzi today at Grammy and Papa's, she is so in love with her all she keeps saying is she is so cute. My baby isn't a baby anymore it makes me sad =(

Soccer saturday

Today was picture day and it was so windy but we made it through it and during the game Presley ROCKED she scored a goal!

The toilet DRAMA!!!!!!!!!

okay so my toilet in my bedroom was running constantly, Roy City even called me and told me that my water bill seemed awfully high and that i must have water running all the time somewhere, so I turned that toilet off and talked to my dad Mr. Handy man about it and next thing he calls me and tells me to meet him at home depot, I went there and we picked out a new toilet and today my dad came and installed it. I have never been so excited about a working toilet but it was GREAT! They really put crappy toilets in this house when they built them. Okay this gets better we get home tonight and Dason goes to use the new toilet and he comes out laughing and says the new toilet is really nice BUT.....

NOW THE DOOR WONT SHUT!!!! @#%* Is what I was thinking. Who knew just the little difference in the shape of the toilet would change things that much. So the lesson of the day was always make sure your door will clear your toilet!!!!

My Nieces Kanyon and Jerzi

Presley's first Soccer game

Look at her go! What a natural, she really surprised us when she got on the field she was really aggressive and really went for the ball. She did AWESOME!
Presley was so excited to have both her brothers Taylor and Dason there to watch her play and they both thought it was great watching her. She loves her brothers so much! Her dad and Grammy was also there to give them her support. You did GREAT Presley and I cant wait til next Sat to see you at it again.

Presley's first day of dance

Presley has been taking Dance from Studio 48 since she was 3 wow how time flies. I had to pick her up 10 minutes early from school and hurry to the dance studio to get her changed and ready to dance, we made it on time and all went well. She said her teacher was really nice but she could not remember her name or any of the other girls names, silly kid! Her daddy picked her up from dance and he said she had a good time.

Presley's first day of preschool

Yesterday was Presley's first day of preschool for the second year in a row! She is more than ready for kindergarten but since her birthday is in October she missed the deadline. She was so excited to see Mrs. Hillary again and to make new friends. But could my life get any more crazy for me she goes at 12:45 right smack in the middle of the day on Mon, Wed and Fri. She also started dance yesterday and Dason has scouts on wed. so by the end of the day I was ready to crash. So needless to say I NEED TO HIRE A TAXI DRIVER that was not listed in the being a mom handbook, but if i was smart enough I would have remembered my mom doing the same thing. Presley had a great day at school and I am sure it will all get easier after a few weeks of getting in the routine.

Dason's first day of 6th grade

Today was Dason's first day of 6th grade he was really excited and not scared at all. He set his alarm and was up and ready and came and woke me up, it is nice to know that he is becoming so independant. This is the first year that I have been ready for school to start. At his age he is always wanting to do something that involves money and he was getting hard to entertain all day with out putting a negative in my bank account. We had a great Summer and I can't believe he is in the 6th grade it seems like yesterday I was taking him to preschool. Hope you have a great day today Dason, I am so proud of you.

Bringing home Jerzi

Sunday Augest 24th Ashley and Blake finally were able to return home with their beautiful Jerzi, Kanyon was so excited to have them home, she calls her baby sissy. They were so excited to be home with Kanyon and get back to their life. They ended up keeping them an extra day to keep Jerzi under the lights but she is doing great now. We are so happy to have a new addition to our family and by looking at the pictures you can see that Ashley looks great!

Summer's Birthday

Cute little Presley posing by the flag she helped paint.
Dason showing off his guns after finishing the flag.
This is the Birthday girl Summer she is so proud of the flag and she should be it turned out awesome and she worked hard. Happy Birthday!

And here is Dason using those muscles to hold Presley but to me it looks like he might drop her.

On August 23rd it was Summer's Birthday, Summer and I have been friends since I can remember, she has always been there for me and my kids and would drop anything for anybody in need of help or just a shoulder to cry on. I do not know how I would have made it through some days without here. Her little boy is Sutton and my kids love it when he comes to play. Summer likes to sing a lot in the car and my son does not like it so she does it now just to bother him (I love it) If you already know Summer she can talk a lot and once we were in the car and my daughter said " Summer can you stop talking for just a minute" we laughed so hard. So anyways on her birthday she wanted to paint a flag in the road and have a bbq.

I've been tagged

So Summer Tagged me this morning...(Thanks very much) The Rules:-Link the Person who Tagged you-Mention rules on your blog-Tell about 6 quirks of yours-Tag 6 fellow bloggers to do the same-Leave a comment to let them know.

1. For those of you that know me organization is a must for me, if I feel like things are out of place it drives me nuts.

2. I cannot stand it when someone gets into my car and puts something on my dash board, I know it sounds crazy but this just drives me crazy.

3. I like my house clean and in order at all times, I like to know that if someone came to my door at any time of the day or night my home is always presentable.

4. Well my closet is all in order short sleeve shirts to long sleeve shirts all facing the same way, then the same with jeans to dress pants, by now you must be thinking I am crazy but I also have all my collar shirts together and all my t-shirts together and so on. My kids closets look the same as mine.

5. I dont know if any of you remember wearing socks with sandals, what were we thinking that is so ugly. my sister Ashley hated her feet so bad you never seen her without socks, I am so glad she got over that.

6. I have a certain way I do yard work, for one I can't stand it when people mow their lawn and then edge it just does not make sense to me you should always edge first and then mow so you can mow most of it up.

So I just have to say that Summer called me asking me what some of her quirks were cause she could not think of any and I had no problem at all thinking of mine!

Introducing Jerzi Blaike Bennett

This is my beauiful sister Ashley, her husband Blake, their 2 year old daughter Kanyon and the newest addition to their family Jerzi who was born thursday Augest 21,2008. Look at that hair and skin coloring she could not be more perfect!
And then there is Ashley looking as beautiful as always, it is hard to believe that my baby sister now has two precious little angels of her own now, it does not seem long ago that she was just little running around herself. I love her and her family so much and am so proud of them.

Presley was so excited that her new cousin was finally here
and all she could keep saying is that she was so cute.

Here is my mom "grammy" holding grandbaby number 8, my mom and dad are such a great support to all of us, my brother, sister and I would not know what to do without them.

Our Summer Vacation

Dason is a huge Yankees fan so for his 11 th birthday I surprised him with tickets to the Yankees vs. Angels game so we decided to make a trip out of it and take Presley and Grammy Betty along with us and go to Disneyland and California Adventure and boy was it an ADVENTURE...



Dason thinks he is Mr. MUSCLES and is trying to show Presley how it is done

Some days I wish I really could lock them up in a cage, of course you know I am kidding but I am sure if you have kids you will understand.
Dason and I at the Hotel getting ready to go to the game and since I bought him tickets for his birthday he bought me a Yankees shirt and hat for Mothers Day! And I love it!
