Grandkids of the Week!

I had the opportunity to visit Beckett
(and of course those other 2 people
that live with him)
for a few days while Barry went
to Nantuckett to rate their hospital.
Beckett loves his baths!

I love kicking around in the water
and I also let Mom put water on my face.
That's a good thing so I won't
be afraid of water in my eyes
like Gigi!

And then I cuddled up in
my doggie towel and looked sooo cute!

I was pretty happy that fateful day.

I had just had my picture taken
and was smiling!

And then it happened. We went to
Texas Roadhouse and remembered my
Dad's birthday was just a few days before.
So we told the waitress and she brought
out the saddle for my Dad to sit on while
they sang and made LOTS of
noise for my Dad.

I didn't enjoy it one bit and started
crying and bawling my eyes out.
Good thing Aunt Des was
there to comfort me!

The next day I was happy again.

Then Gigi had to say goodbye
with many kisses.


MAX

Gigi came to work in Rexburg on Thursday
and stopped by to see and play with me
because I'm so cute & special!

We had lunch with my Mom & Dad
at the new eating area at BYU-I.
Then we went to my first cupcake
restaurant, The Cocoa Bean.
Gigi had a chocolate raspberry
cupcake and my Mom had a yummy drink
which I thoroughly enjoyed!

ALEXIS

Today Gigi was able to play with me.
I was crying so Gigi put me in her
new swing. I loved the music and the
mobile that went round and round.
I also loved to swing!

I went right to sleep
and was soooo precious!

I was lulled right to sleep!

Little Baby Chick Chick

Little Baby Chick Chick
I see you.

And your little
peep, peep,
I hear too.

You are such a
fuzzy wuzzy ball

And you don't even
look like a chick at all.

Little Baby Chick Chick
eat and drink

Then you'll be a big chick
soon I think.
Then someday I'll see you
sitting on the fence
singing cocka-doodle-doo!

Skirting Around In Tutus

Mom & Gigi decided to make
me another tutu...this time
a much smaller one.

I tried out my little dance
& found that the tutu
worked very well.

I began
singing & dancing!

Dancing is definitely my talent!

I shouted with joy
when Gigi made
me this Shiny Star Skirt.

All the family came and
it was really very nice!

Let the Max Party Begin!

Let the Party begin! Max has arrived with Dad!

Let the Music begin with Max & Dad!

Let the Party REALLY begin
with Max & Gigi!

That Max is so darn soft & cuddly & kissable!
Gigi can't help herself!

Max could listen for hours to Dad's music -
In fact he does quite often!

Dad is very happy with his little Max.

Max cuddling with his Mom.

This party is pretty wild with all the cousins.
Alexis, Max, & Beckett.

Max signals with his fingers that he thinks
the party is OK!
Alexis agrees with Max and
Beckett mumbles yes as
he is busy chewing on both hands.

I want to Party too!

Everyone say cheese!

Everyone is getting along so well.

Grandpa & Gigi with their
3 Little Sweethearts.
Everyone had a great time at Max's party.
We had sandwiches, salads, & desserts.
We went home full & happy!

More Fun Halloween!

Two Cute Froggies & a Beautiful Flower were tired

of having pictures taken of them.

I want to still play with my cousins!

But I'm toooo tired.

And so the Cute Froggie went to sleep right before
everyone's astonished eyes!

And another cute froggie hit the hay!

A little cute pumpkin came by and sat on
Grandpa's lap and they sang songs together.

And then the cute froggie turned
into a handsome prince!

And that is the end of my story!

Beautiful Max is Blessed

I really enjoy showing off my
fascinating tongue!

I enjoy talking a lot!

Thanks Dad for preparing yourself through your life
to be my Dad and to be able to use
your Priesthood and bestow
upon me a glorious blessing.

Thanks Mom for the lovely meals I enjoy each day.
And thanks for preparing yourself
while you were young to be
my dear, sweet, precious Mother.

Everyone says I am so cute, and I must agree!

I must apologize to my

amazing parents for
bursting for joy at the seams
during my blessing.
I was just so happy!

Thanks for everyone coming to see me!
There was more than a houseful of people!
It was great!

I was excited to come to earth to be
with my Spectacular Family!
Families are forever!

Little Baby Max, Max

I love you!
And I love your Big Brown Eyes,

You are such a Rolypoly Boy

HAIL, HAIL, THE GANG'S ALL HERE!
When out for a good time we go,
We go, we go, we go, we go,
There's nothing we do that is slow,
Is slow, is slow, is slow, is slow,
Of joy we get our share you bet,
The gang will tell you so;
No matter the weather
When we get together
We sing this song you know:

Hail, hail, the gang's all here,

Never mind the weather,
here we are together;
Hail, hail, the gang's all here,
Sure we're glad
that you're here, too!

Hail, hail, the gang's all here,

We're a bunch of beauties,
and we are all cuties;
Hail, hail, the gang's all here,
Sure I'm glad that I'm here, too!

Who's going to spit up first?

I'm pretty bright-eyed!
Really I'm just keeping my
eyes wide open
because I'm in the middle
of Beckett and Max!
Who knows what they'll do?

Let's put our heads together
and come up with a plan ~ FUN!

Joanna, Max, Eric, Deserae,
Ginger, Alexis, Mark,
Ryan, Cecily, & Beckett
had to say goodbye at
the end of the
Wonderful Alexis' Blessing Day!

The Bennett Cousins in all their Glory!
