Jada's 7th Birthday!

Its hard to believe that 7yrs ago my little lady was only 7lbs 15oz, 19inches long, born on 06/17/2003 at 1019am. She had A LOT of black hair and was with no doubt the cutest baby EVER!!! She has brought so much laughter, joy, and has kept us on our toes since she entered this journey with me. She is such a tender little lady. She NEVER would think of harming a soul, or anykind of animal for that matter :) I love you to pieces Jada D Bennett. Always have and always will......mmmmmwhaaaaaa

Playing Minute to Win it games!!




Dad did the best by far!! He got the lamp shade on his head in record time :)



Dust cooking Hamburbers and Hot Dogs on the grill for everybody


Jada and Tate trying to get all the ping pongs out of the Kleenex box, It was Hilarious to watch all the kids.





Jada and Kendall's birthday are only 4 days apart so we joined them together this year! They both loved sharing the day


Dad even got some presents for Fathers Day, so needless to say it was one great day!!! Lots of food, family, games and memories made :)



LOVE YOU DAD!!!

Warm River 2010

How can anyone resist taking A LOT of pictures at such a beautiful, and fun place? Lots of family, food, and fun galore! We head up to warm river with Sheila and the Reeds every year. This year Emily and Stuart joined in the fun, and boy were we lucky to have them there!

Jada enjoying her breakfast ALONE!! Everyone else had breakfast at ohhh say 8-9ish and Jada would roll out of bed whenever, but about 1030 or 11

Kieran and the clan getting out of floating down the river. Our campsite was the last one before the bridge. Which was really nice. We could go up top, float down, and get out at camp!!



Em and Dust preparing a GREAT dinner for us!!!

Stu and the kids out trying to catch a fish or two! The river is really quite shallow in most spots, but suprisingly there are still a handful of fish in there.

Macie's seat on her bike needed to be adjusted, Dust, bless his little heart was just the man for the job. It was a simple quick thing, but when Mace saw him working on her bike there was a HUGE problem. For some random reason she thought he was taking it apart or something......Needless to say he got it done and she had a bike to ride the rest of the time.

This is the dock that we put the tubes in to float down the river. And dont be fooled by the name "WARM RIVER" There is NOTHING warm about this river. It is ICE cold!!! But man is it fun!!!!


Jada & Tate trying their luck on the fishing thing...... all the big ones kept getting away!!! Better luck next time kiddos!


The first couple of days there was rather chilly. After that the sun came out and it was perfect!!




Em and Sheila just sitting back enjoying this AMAZING place!!




How lucky are we...... Now this is the life! :)










Jada getting her sunbathing in!! She is soooo funny!! I love you to pieces Jada



In the river there were small little minnows, Jada loved to show me the good spots to find them

PICTURE OVERLOAD!!!!
