The Best of the Bennett Family

We finally all were able to get together and get family pictures done. They are turned out really nice. Here are a few samples ;)

THE BIG DAY!!!!!!!

Well, the next two weeks following the shower was hectic. With Natalie in St. George and us up here, we were scrambling to get everthing together and figure out how to get it all down to "The Ranch". I was in charge of all the decorations, and misc. findings(dishes, silverware) and anything else my mom dreamed up that we needed to have. She even left a day ahead of me and she called at least 3 times after she left and was still calling me on Friday as i was trying to get ready to leave to stop and pick up things on my way. But it all turned out great. Well, except for that the bride and groom were stranded in Cedar City with a broken down truck, and no way to haul half of their stuff. So of course the softy that i am, and that fact that i was the last one to be on our way down, we detoured and went to save the day. We drove to Cedar and picked up poor Natalie that had been sitting at her finacee's ex-wifes house for 3 hrs. waiting for us to save her. We shoved and moved and eventually got all the stuff in the tahoe along with all the crap i already had, and off we went for another 4 hr drive to "The Ranch".
It all worked out. It was hot. But it all went well and was beautiful. She got married in the middle of a field under some trees and did something called the 10 steps around a bon fire, and each shared their thoughts and dreams and promises to each other. It was great. The pictures say nothing compared to being there and see all the beauty around us.

BRIDAL SHOWER FOR NATALIE

The next event at my house(yes my house was popular this year) was a bridal shower for my baby sister Natalie. YEA!!!!! She finally was getting married. It was really fun. We had around 32 people fill my home, lots of family and friends. It was great to see alot of people that i had not seen in a long time. Her long time friends Shauna and Nicole came(and Nicole brought her two beautiful twin baby girls). Shauna was gracious enought to help out and was in charge of the games and keeping everyone entertained. Natalie looked so cute and was so appreciative to us all. She got tons of very nice gifts from eveyone.

The next even at our house was Lexi's 5th Birthday party. She invited all her friend, Bailee, Sohpie,Kendra,Randy,and Brinlee. They got to make their own special Princess crowns with the help of Sophies mom Ashi. Then we all got to dress up in our favorite priness attire and then a special guest came "Snow White"! the girls were all so excited! She sat and told us stories and played games and dance and sang songs. The she put special princess make up on us all. It was so much fun.

We had a baby shower at my house for my sister-in-law Heather and baby Bella. We had fun and she got tons of cute stuff!!!

The night before Lagoon, we took Deondre with us to the Bee's game. He was not to sure about it at first, but as soon as we got in there he had a blast. And as you can see he loves Grandpa Bob and had a great time with Aunt Lexi
