Bennett Family

Christmas

2012-01-28T12:08:00.000-08:00

Wow I did a horrible job with Christmas pictures this year. Instead we set up the video camera.

Our fun visit with Santa!

"Water Thomas" that was spotted at Costco a couple of weeks before Christmas and was talked about 100 times a day. Good thing Santa brought it!

Will's Train Party

2012-01-28T11:52:00.000-08:00

Will was so excited to have his own train party. He still asks for a train party a few times a week.

Will was lucky to have his birthday in St George with his cousins. The favorite activity was painting their own train.

Pinning the boxcar on the train.

I love this picture of Ian. He was not pleased that Will got a remote control boat since he has been asking for one for awhile now. Will of course also got some trains.

It is fun to watch him drive his boat. Scary thing is he got the hang of it really quick. I guess I have another RC boy on my hands.

Trains and Pumpkins

2011-11-01T13:49:00.000-07:00

We finally took our little train boy on the Heber Valley Train. We took a ride to a pumpkin patch, decorated our pumpkins, and had snacks. Will was in heaven.

Will with his cousins Noah and Ian.

Happy Halloween From Pooh and Tigger!

Andrew refused to wear his little bear hat and look at me.

Will learned pretty quick about Trick or Treating. Today he asked to put on Tigger to go and get more candy. Last night our neighborhood was so fun. It wasn't too cold and there were kids everywhere.

We had a Halloween Party at Grandma Campbell's house. Will tried so hard to get his doughnut.

Here is everyone who dressed up...everyone but me, JJ, Mikey, and my Dad. Yup we are the party poopers of the family. My favorite costume of the year was Peter as an owl.

A lot of summer fun

2011-09-19T13:33:00.000-07:00

Will has started riding a bike. He is doing a really good job!

To start off the summer we went down to Zions for the Brown family reunion. We made quick stop over at the Coral Pink Sand Dunes and had a race down the hill.

Canoeing on the lake.

Lindsay's Fam on the lake.

Summer would not be complete without some Bear Lake fun. Here Will is playing baseball with Aunt Taryn and Addison.

Will and Charlie.

Andrew and Charlie found out the best part of Bear Lake...all of the great snacks just laying around.

We spent lots of time on the Kayaks. Will and Liz.

Relaxing in the cabin. The boys quickly made this their favorite chair.

They both love the boat.

We have lots of mud around our house. It does not take the boys long to find it.

It definitely was a short summer. Hopefully we can find something fun to do during the long winter months!

We are off to find Spring!

2011-05-04T11:32:00.000-07:00

We have had enough of winter and decided to take off to St. George. We took the kids to Zions because it was National Parks Week and it was free. That was not the best idea Lindsay and I have ever had. The second mistake we made was thinking we could hike up to the Narrows and let the kids play in the river. We are so good at paying attention to the news about the rivers running high and the fears of flooding. Lets just say I was a little bit nervous letting Will play by the water but he had a good time playing with his cousins.

Andrew had a ball throwing sand at me.

Will followed Noah everywhere this past week. I think I might have to adopt him so I can keep Will occupied.

We tried for 2 weeks to get Will in the pool. Of course, Dad knows best and bought him some boats to play with. It worked.

Andrew loves to cruise around the shallow end. We all have been getting our fill of sun and fun! Now we are even more excited for Bear Lake season.

Look who's 1!

2011-03-12T09:40:00.000-08:00

Poor Andrew was sick for his Birthday. He was not quite sure what to do with his cake until we gave him a fork. And of course Will was sure to get a fork for himself too.

One of Andrew's favorite toys is a stuffed soccer ball. So I though if I made him a soccer ball cake he would just dive right in. Well that didn't go as planned. I made some cake pops for the others at the party so we didn't have to eat Andrew's leftovers.

Andrew sitting in his own chair from Grandma & Grandpa Bennett. They have given a chair to every grandchild on their 1st birthday.

We wanted to get Andrew a trike but he loves Will's wiggle car. So he got his own.

Oh and this little guy loves dogs too. This one has a pull string, maybe it will encourage him to walk.

Christmas

2011-01-04T20:31:00.000-08:00

Christmas Eve

Bennett cousins in their PJs. Sydney, Andrew, Will, Addison, Jaden, and Charlie. Love this shot of Charlie!

Ash was quick to get into her stocking!

Where did these presents come from? And did Will miss the BIG present?

Will loved his present until he ran into a snow pile and almost flew over the handle bars. He is now getting much better at controlling the pedal.

Andrew loves his Little People Airport

A few moments that have made me laugh.

2011-01-04T20:17:00.000-08:00

Where is Andrew?

I lost him for a few minutes. Don't ask me how he got there.

The best toy ever...Will mows the lawn in the summer and "snow blows" the driveway in the winter!

October Fun

2010-11-01T12:52:00.000-07:00

To start of the Halloween season we joined Wayne and Taryn's family at the pumpkin patch. We went on a hay ride behind a tractor, which was the highlight of Will's month for sure. He was really upset when it was over and the tractor left without him.

Jaden, Addison, Will, Sydney, and Andrew

Will would pick a pumpkin and then couldn't carry it so would want another one. We ended up with two medium size ones and a baby one for Andrew.

We had the opportunity to go and see a baby white tiger. We have a few stray cats around the neighborhood that Will is always trying to follow and pet and I have been telling him No. So, he was a little bit afraid of this kitten. At least I got to pet him.

If you know my little Andrew you know what a little jumper he is. If you try to stand him up he will just hop as long as his little legs will let him. So when I saw this kangaroo costume I just had to have it for him! It came with his own little baby roo.

My little builder...the one picture I have with his hat on. He loves to build with his dad and watch the tractors working next door. He did wear his tool belt all night. He even wore it over to see Grandma Bennett the next day and he found that he could fill it with money. He came home a little bit richer that night.

At the Campbell Halloween party the kids got to decorate cookies. Will and Noah really enjoyed this activity. You will notice the moms in the back finishing off the first project...trick or treat buckets for the kids.

Mae, Jaden, Noah, Ian, Will, and Andrew

Ahhhh...Grass!

2010-09-22T18:27:00.000-07:00

JJ has been busy working on the yard and I am excited to say that we now have grass for the kids to play on (until it snows).

Andrew is now 6 months and rolling all over the place. He is definetly more active than Will ever was, which is just a little bit scary. He is now 28 1/2 inches (95th percentile) and 16.9 lbs (30th percentile). He loves to play ball with Will and is even a good sport when Will is bouncing on him.

Mom got this really cool present and she gets to fight with all three of her boys to use it!

Glacier National Park

2010-07-27T19:23:00.000-07:00

Well the Bennett family tried a new adventure. We went on a family vacation together and it wasn't to Bear Lake. We went to Glacier National Park in Montana. We had everyone there including Monica and her kids from Spain. It was absolutely beautiful.

Will's new favorite activity...throwing rocks into the lake.

We saw some new animals along the way

Can you see the bear too?

Of course there were lots and lots of waterfalls. Notice the road we just drove on. It was a pretty scary ride sometimes. Thanks Wayne and Taryn for planning the fun trip!

Andrew's Blessing

2010-06-09T20:03:00.000-07:00

Andrew was blessed this past Sunday. We had lots of family there to share the day. But for those of you who weren't able to make it, here are a few pictures.

Thanks to the Walker girls for making Andrew this cute bib.

Andrew is now 3 months old.

Will is now 18 months old and has been nicknamed

the Tucson Tornado by Grandma Bennett.

1 Month Old

2010-04-22T13:32:00.000-07:00

I am a little late posting this but here is Andrew at 1 Month.

This is his favorite expression.

Is this safe?

2010-04-22T13:26:00.000-07:00

Will has replaced his stroller. He spent a lot of time riding around with Grandpa. He even managed to get Ian, Noah, and Will on at one time (I wish I had a picture).

Happy Birthday to Us!

2009-12-06T14:26:00.001-08:00

Thanksgiving sure was a busy day for us because we had two birthdays to celebrate. Now for some reason we just took pictures of Will...

Sneaky little guy was getting into his presents before it was time.
He got his very first bike and he loves it. Noah quickly took over the rocking horse.

Serious business here

Will finally had a little taste. I guess he was too full from his turkey dinner. He was happy to just be able to make a mess.

Will's First Haircut

2009-11-16T18:08:00.000-08:00

Before...

After...

Yes I forgot the camera while he was getting his haircut. I am a little sad to see him look like a little boy but I am glad the mullet is gone!

Halloween

2009-11-02T19:19:00.001-08:00

Will didn't mind being all dressed up. He did try to eat his costume because it was so soft just like his teddy bear. Too bad his parents were too worried about H1N1 flu to take him trick or treating. We had fun at Grandma and Grandpa's Halloween party though!

The Many Faces of Will

2009-10-29T20:18:00.001-07:00

We have been enjoying the many faces Will likes to pull. Here are just a few.

Concentrating

Innocent or maybe a little confused

Cracking up
(I guess I did something funny)

Surprised or caught in the act

Gonna get you

Pure Joy

Will discovered that the big kid swings are way more fun than baby swings!

Playing at the beach and eating lots of sand.

Will loves to play with his cousins

After all the fun the only left to do is crash...

2009-06-03T20:11:00.000-07:00

Today we went to get Will up from his nap and this is what we saw....

Who taught him this???

2009-06-03T19:59:00.001-07:00

Will reached right over and grabbed the Coke can just like he had done it before. Someone is in trouble because I didn't teach him that!

We took some pictures of Will and his cousin Charlie the other day.

We thought Will was trying to eat Charlie...

but he was just trying to love him.

What a difference a day makes

2009-03-30T15:08:00.000-07:00

We think Will changed again. It seems to happen every few days.

He decided the best way to get out of tummy time is to roll over.

4 Months!

2009-03-29T17:01:00.000-07:00

Will is now 4 months old. He is such a happy little boy. He now looks like he is bald because all of his brown hair has turned blond. He is 26 inches long (75th percentile) and 15 lbs (50th percentile). He is still quite the little wiggle worm on the floor but he is not interested in rolling over anymore. He is more interested in watching Dancing with the Stars with Grandpa Bennett. I have been trying to get a video of Will laughing but he just stops and stares at the camera. I think he is going to be a tease like his father. Other than enjoying Will, JJ and I are still busy trying to find a house or lot we would like to call home for the next x number of years. If anyone has any good leads we would love to hear it!

New Camera

2009-02-13T19:49:00.000-08:00

We finally bought a new camera and JJ has been having fun with it. Here are our Spring flowers in our backyard that we will soon be leaving for the snow. I am having a hard time leaving this beautiful weather.

This one of Abby and her hair blowing turned out pretty good too.

And here is Will in his new favorite position...sitting.

Blessing Day

2009-01-21T09:32:00.001-08:00

Sunday was a big day for the Bennett Family…it was Will’s Blessing. Grandma and Grandpa Bennett were kind enough to let us have the party at their house. I would say we filled it up pretty good. Thanks to everyone who came and contributed to the food. It was all really good. JJ did a great job with his first Father’s Blessing.

This is probably the best shot I got of the Campbell Grandkids. Kari, Mae, Will, Ian, Noah, Ashlie, Jaden, and Hayden.

The boys born in 2008.

Poor Will…I hope this isn’t a sign that Hayden will be picking on his youngest cousin in the future.

Welcome Will

2008-11-26T18:18:00.001-08:00

Here are some pictures I took with my iPhone of our little Will. We decided to name William John Bennett. So far everyone is doing great after a long night. Brits water broke last night around 7 pm, she was unable to get a epidural until 6am this morning due to drugs she is on needless to say it very long night for both of us. Brit was dialated to 6cm at 6 am but then remained unchanged the rest of the day. At 2pm the decesion was made to do c-section because Brit was not changing and we were starting to worry about infection from the water being broke for so long. The C-section went good and everyone is doing great. Will is the biggest kid in the nursery. He was born 8lbs13oz., 21.5 inches long and his head is 15 in around. He is pretty big. Thank You everyone for all of your love, caring and prayers. JJ

Brit, and I have been looking at infant pictures trying to get an idea of how "jr" is going to come out. Britany unfortunately doesn't have a lot of infant pictures, but we finally found one. For all of your schedules Britany has been scheduled to be induced on November 28th. Looks like we are going to have to name "jr" Zeke the Second.

Visitors in Tucson

2008-09-18T18:00:00.000-07:00

We have been here in Tucson for 2 years now. We have had a few visitors during that time. Mom, Wendell, & Ashlie came for a visit and we visited the Bio Dome. This was probably the highlight of the trip for Wendell.

This is Ashlie going into a haunted mine in Old Tucson. She is so excited to go in. Too bad we didn't get an after picture. She screamed the entire time and ran out of there crying. Some other kids waiting to go in changed their mind after seeing her.

We had so much fun with Ashlie at Old Tucson that we had Katee bring the girls down for a day of fun. Abby, Emily, and Liz enjoyed the haunted mine; but poor Sara was so scared she just buried herself in Katee.

Dad and Joyce also came down for a visit. We took them to Tombstone where we watched a reenactment of the gunfight at the OK Corral and learned how to play a new card game called Faro. Dad was chosen to be a player in the game which he loved (I am sure it had nothing to do with gambling though).

Mom & Grandma came for a visit as well. Grandma loved Tombstone...actually she liked all the cowboys walking around.
