The Bentons: Mother's Day

I love love love Mother's Day! I am so thankful that I have two precious boys. But before I talk about my own boys I want to start off by saying thanks to my mom. Happy Mother's Day to you Mom! I love you! You have taught me so much in life. I love how you keep us together by constantly planning things where we can all hang out. You are such a strong person and I admire you dearly. Mom headed off to San Fransisco so we didn't get to celebrate with her on this day...her pics will have to come later.

For my Mother's Day, I woke up to beautiful yellow roses, a wonderful card, and a new bracelet. I loved everything. :) We headed to Flippin for the day. The boys were wonderful during the church service. Garon ate up all the attention he was getting from the row behind us. It was a gorgeous day and we took full advantage by spending the entire afternoon outdoors.

I was really wanting to get a picture of the boys. This one is priceless...Garon really hates his feet touching the grass.

Papa got us a log to sit on so round two was much better!!

Words cannot express how much I love these two boys. I thank God for them daily! I still find myself staring at them in disbelief that they are really mine. I want you both to stay this little forever. Since I know that isn't possible I hope that I do a good job at training you both in the way you should go. From a book written by Gene Fidele she writes, "Home is, in many wonderful ways, a heaven begun below." I love that and I want to raise my boys in a Christian home, so they get a tiny glimpse of heaven while on earth.

Gram and the boys. This is another lady that I am very thankful for. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful mother in law. Karen takes care of me just like I am her own. Like for instance, when Dan goes out of town...they know I'm coming over!! I love that they don't mind that I don't like to stay by myself! :-)
