Calgary Zoo

So last weekend we took Dex to the calgary zoo for the first time and we had so much fun!! We met my Mom, Dad, Kinz, and Hallie in Calgary friday night and spent the night in a Hotel. And as soon as we got there Dexter was having a great time!! He could have cared less that Nick and I were around. The Hotel had a waterslide so ofcourse the first thing we did was get in the pool. Dex is such a little fish and is so brave. He would have gone down that waterslide all by himself if we'd let him.

After swimming we went back up to the room and visited til bedtime. I love my family so much!! They are my favorite people in the entire world. I have the best parents anyone could ask for. They would do anything for me and I love them so much!! And as for my sisters they are my best friends. (I love my brother too ofcourse!!) I miss them so much and jump at any opportunity to get to hang out with them. I always feel like a kid again when I am with them. We had so much fun giggling til the wee hours of the morning!!

Saturday morning Dex woke us all up bright and early so we got up and got ready to head to the zoo. We were a little worried because the forcast called for rain but it was a beautiful overcast day. We had so much fun taking Dex around to see all the different animals and it was so fun to see his reaction to everything. It was such a great day and as we were getting ready to leave it started to pour rain. So we left at the perfect time.

It was such an awesome weekend and a much needed getway for our little family!! When life gets hectic all anyone needs is their family to make everything better!! I love my family so much and can't wait to see them on Canada Day!!

Here are a few pics from our weekend:

So Much Has Happened

I have not blogged in forever and I promised myself I would do better but it hasn't quite happened yet. Anyways life is never a dull moment in the Bennett home. Our little boy Dexter is so busy you barely have two minutes to sit down. He has turned into quite a funny little boy. Now that he has got walking and running down he has now started to talk and it is so much fun!! He says the common words like Dad, Mom, Uh Oh, No, Ya, Up, and his favorite what is that? He says that about 50 times a day to me lol!! I love how he tried to mimic everything we are saying as well. I could go on and on about our little man.

So much has happened since the last time I blogged. My little sister Kinzee graduated from high school. I can't believe she is done!! It definately is making me feel so old.... O well what can ya do. Anyways we are so proud of her and love her very much. She has gone through a lot lately and it amazes me how strong she is. She is such an amazing woman and I can't wait to see what she does with her future but I know whatever she does she will be amazing!! Love you Kinz!!

Some more exciting news!! I am finally an auntie on the chipman side. Kass and Easton had a beautiful baby girl. Olivia Michelle Chipman and I am dying to meet her. Sometimes I hate living so far away from my family cause I miss out on things like this. O well I know I will get to meet her soon enough. She is absolutely beautiful and I have definatley had a lot of fun shopping for her lol!! Little girls just have the cutest things.

Anyways not much else is new with our little family. Nick is busy at work and is working part time again this summer for his friend Eli. He is such a hard worker and an amazing dad. I definately lucked out in the husband department. Just watching him with Dex makes me smile. I am still working a couple nights a week too and things are going great!!

Well I will post a few pics of the little munckin to show you what he's been up to lately.

We took him to this Sesame Street Event at the Science Telus Center and he loved it.
He was making a sandwhich!!

He drags it to the front door all the time!!

one landed in his mouth lol!!

I don't know who he is talking to but it
