The Bennett Family: Summer

Wow Summer flew by and I can't believe that it is September already. Summer was great I spent many days out in the back yard with the boys and countless hours at our neighborhood park. I also got to go home to Magrath for 2 1/2 weeks which was awesome. We went down for the Magrath celebration ofcourse and then I actually left my children for 5 days... I still can't believe I left them but I did it and the best part is that they survived lol!! According to their dad they didn't even miss me much at all so maybe that means I need to go away more often lol!! I got to spend those five days with my amazing mother, sister Hallie, Uncle Bruce, Aunt Di and my cousin Joey. We went down to Rexburg for education week and it was amazing! While we were gone Kass had a beautiful baby girl Avery. We all knew because we were leaving that she'd have her. And she is such a beautiful baby!! It almost makes me want another one but not quite yet lol!

On my way home from education week I got a very sad phone call from my husband telling me that my little nephew Porter, who is Dexter's age was diagnosed with leukemia. I still can't believe that this has happened to the Olsen Family but they are so amazing. My sister in-law Chelsey is a rockstar. I seriously look up to her so much and I am just amazed with how brave and amazing she is during this hard time. It definitely makes you think about what matters most in life and that is definitely family. So everyone keep my nephew Porter in your prayers!!

After some sad news we did hear some great news and that's that my sister Ashylla is pregnant!! I am so excited for her and can't wait to meet her little bundle of joy in March!! Only a few more weeks til we get to find out what she's having. I am really hoping it's a boy cause that will increase my chances of having a girl next hopefully lol!! That's my theory anyways...

It seems like Summer has whizzed by and is sadly coming to an end. Dex is already excited for the snow which makes me want to throw up lol!! I don't think he remembers that we are stuck inside a lot when it is cold out so we'll see how much he likes the snow once it's here. I can't believe how fast my boys are growing up. Dex is 3 1/2 and Knox is 1 1/2 time has seriously flown by. I still can't believe Nick and I have two crazy busy little boys.

Speaking of my amazing husband we just celebrated our 5 year anniversary!! I can't believe that it's been 5 years. I am a very lucky girl to have married Nick. He is such an amazing husband and father. I definitely lucked out in the husband department. I love him so much and look forward to spending an eternity together.

Well that's about all that's been going on with us! Life is never a dull moment at the Bennett House!! Here are a few pictures from over the summer!!
