Bennett's 7th birthday.

My little Bennett turned 7 on Aug 15th. We had a great day. We spent his actual birthday at Bear Lake boating and enjoying the warm summer weather with some of our good friends! Do you think I would've remembered my camera, NO!! We came home from Bear Lake and had cake and Ice cream with my family.

Bennett is very easy going. He does not need a lot of things to make him happy. He is very simple, easy going, and very caring. He still loves to snuggle with his mom, he gets his feelings hurt if you talk in a higher tone of voice. He is a NAG! As soon as we get in the car to go anywhere ( doesn't matter if its around back ) He is constantly reminding us to put on our seat belts. He does not stop until everyone is buckled up. He is very cautious and safe. He freaks out if my phone goes off while driving, for fear that I will text and drive. He still looks up to Randy like no other. He goes to work with Randy quite a bit and absolutely loves it. He loves to go hunting and fishing, he's an amazing soccer player, and I can always count on Bennett to give me a hug or a kiss just cause he wants too. He is my special little guy. We love him to death and we're so glad he is apart of our family.

Going along with loving to fish, Bennett wanted to go fishing for his birthday. So we woke up at 5:00 am ( We left Ash home, she didn't want to get another tick) and drove up to East canyon and fished. Kobe was certain he was going to catch more fish than anyone else cause he bought his own special power bate!

Let me just say, Bennett caught the first fish, the second fish, the third fish and the fourth fish. Finally Kobe realized his power bate wasn't very good and switched. Kobe eventually caught a fish, but Bennett was definitely the bread winner that fishing trip.


Here's Kobe's great catch. He was a little disappointed it took him so long to catch it, but at least he wasn't skunked all day.

The entire day they had to keep checking the live well to make sure the fish were still there and of course to measure and see who had the biggest fish.

The end result of our fishing trip. We had a great time. I don't go very much. Its too early, and Ash doesn't like to sit on the boat for that long with nothing to do. I am very glad I went this time, it is priceless to see the excitement in their faces as they are reeling in the fish! I love my boys!
