Remington turns 4 and Bubba Graduates!

Talk about a BUSY weekend! Remington's 4th birthday just so happens to land on Graduation Weekend, and that would normally not be a problem but this graduation weekend happens to be a special one for Bensonville! Uncle Bubba Graduated!!!!!!!! We started the weekend off with a visitor to Bensonville, Aunt Sam. Samantha is Luke's sister and this was the first time she has been to Baker for one of Remington's birthdays and we were super excited to have her! We treated her to an awesome dinner @ Barley Browns, which if you have been to Baker City you have probably enjoyed their amazing food and/or brews! Saturday was Remington's BIG day! It was a Monster Jam Birthday! Complete with a Grave Digger pinata filled with candy. Rem had sooo many friends that showed up to help celebrate our awesome kid. It was a beautiful day and we took full advantage of it having the party out at Paw and Gee Gee's house ( Austinburg ) Remington was a hoot to watch open gifts this year, really getting into ripping the presents open and making comments about the goodies inside like: "Awwwww JACKPOT! " hahaha. This year Luke and I got him his first Big Boy Bike! Can't wait to go on bike rides this summer.

On Sunday, we woke up early to send off the friends and family that stayed with us. I was involved with the Senior Grad Night party so I had to go set up before graduation. Graduation was a packed house and how could it not be! I know that I am utterly and completely impartial to this class because my brother was in it, but really, this was the coolest class to watch graduate. These kids have soo much going for them in their futures. I didn't cry but I was so so very proud of my Bubbie!


I HEART THESE TWO BOYS!

Stay tuned for more fun this summer, we have a trip to seaside planned for the 4th of July with a group of friends, a concert and everything else in between to keep us busy! <3

I'm Baaaccckkkk!....and it's my birthday!

So, as you have probably noticed I have taken a loooooonng hiatus from Bensonville. Mostly due to the fact that we have not had Internet for quite some time. Obviously we have Internet now, and I thought I should update the blog. So I'm Back!

Today is my birthday! I am 27 years old and, so far, it has already been one great day! For some reason I woke up really early for me...Like 6:30 am, which if you know me is like 2 hours before I want to get up! Had a lot on my mind and just couldn't go back to sleep after Luke left for work. So I snuck out of bed, Remington had crawled in this morning after Luke got up, made coffee and did a little photography research that I needed to get done. If you didn't know, I am madly in love with photography! I am still quite amature, but I have done a few jobs and have really enjoyed them. I am currently trying to work on my editing and printing skills. Since I haven't taken any classes on either I have been learning by trial and error. I am hoping to take some classes in the near future! Here are some of my Fave pictures I have taken in the last year!

Remington is a little less than Two weeks from turning 4 years old! I can't believe how big that little bugger is getting! Right now he is into Superheros, mainly Spiderman, Thor, and Ninja Turtles. He is also into Monster Trucks, which is the theme for his birthday party this year! The thing that I think he is the most into right now though is.......... MICHAEL JACKSON!! The kid loves his music! Gee Gee bought him a portable CD player and "The Essential Michael Jackson" CD and we have gone through 3 sets of batteries for it in about a month! He knows most of the songs and tries to sing along to all of them! It's adorable... Video to come soon! He is some pictures of the BOY!!

Well, I hope to be more on top of Bensonville now that we have some Internet! I will let you know how Rem's birthday goes and have some more pictures soon! PEACE!!!
