My mom told me to smell the cake and I got icing all over my face!

Hooking the bait, catching my first fish, driving the boat is hard work!

Mommy just loved their new dog Say cheese.... I love Aunt Sarah sooooo much.

Thanksgiving 2006

As we were eating breakfast Pilgrim, Aiden and I went around and asked eachother what we were thankful for. After much explanation to Aiden as to what Thanksgiving was about over the previous weeks we allowed him to go first not sure what the response would be. He answered "forgiveness". After asking him to repeat what he had said quite a few times to make sure we understood him correctly we then proceeded to thank God for him on so many levels. What a blessing to hear your 2 yr. old son respond with such a heartfelt and deep answer. God is really moving in him and we are so priveledged to be a part of his life and watch him grow.

We started our day off by going to the Pier and enjoying the beautiful water and weather. After a trip to the beach we went to Pilgrim's moms house for dinner. We had a great time and overstuffed ourselves, hey what can I say I'm eating for two. What's everyone elses? Then Aiden played Mr. cool in his uncle Joel's sun glasses. He thought he looked just like a real cop.


After dinner at Tammy's we went over to Chuck and Jane's house, had dessert and played games. We had a great time and we are so thankful for all of our friends and family. God is so good.

Family time

My cousin Hayley came over to hang out with us at our new house. Hopefully we will see alot more of her now that we live right down the street from her school. I love her and think she is sooo cool.

Me and mom hangin out with gram. After all she only lives right next door.

Goofy times in the car, making the most of life.

The men of my life. Aren't they so handsome? I just love them soooooo much.

Hanging out just watching the Bucc's get beat again. Nothing like a football game with the three of us.

Our kids.... We couldn't be prouder

Everyday we thank God that we are able to serve Him in the Student Ministry at our church. They are such a big part of our life. We love them so much and are so proud of them. We as a family love to be involved with their lives. Aided especially likes the football games and is convinced that Taylor's last name is Benham...

Our kids are so talented. Here some are performing in the VPA program at school. Their plays and musicals are incredible.
