Alexis on her First Halloween

We enjoyed our Halloween Weekend.
Max & Beckett as frogs,
Alexis as a flower & skeleton.
Max was also blessed on November 1, 2009.
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 am Beautiful Max.

I am blessed with two Superific parents,

Joanna & Eric

I am blessed with great extended family on the Bennett side.
Alexis, Ginger, Mark, Mom, Me, Dad,
Ryan, Beckett, Cecily, Deserae,
Grandpa, & Gigi who all love me
and attended my blessing day.

I am blessed to have a Wonderful
Grandma & Grandpa Mitchell who
adore me and love me.

I am a very happy baby.

I like to lay on my cuddly, soft,
blue blanket and look handsome.

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,
I do.
You are such a Rolypoly Boy
and you make lots
of cutsie noises for us all!

Great Grandma Bennett)

Gigi & Grandpa and had lots of fun!

Am going to post later a lot of pics....

but the changes didn't show
up on my picture file. :( Cecily - HELP!

Alexis' Baby Blessing

All the Bennett Family came to see Alexis blessed by her Daddy.

Mom, Dad, & Alexis before the Blessing.

I'm so happy to be Blessed!

I like to Dance and Smile a lot!

I love to see the Temple,

I'm going there some day!
This 'Temple' Blanket was made

by Grandma Hawley.

I like to be Fluffy and Lacy!
Grandma Hawley made this dress for me.

I am happy today for my Family!

I can see you!

Thanks everyone for coming to my Blessing!
I had a fun day!

Smile - That's my middle name!

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!

The Big Chill with Max & Beckett

Max is all ready for church in

his white shirt & tie!

He's going to Alexis' blessing.

I think I'll just do the Big Max Chill for a while!

Max & Beckett chillin' before Alex's blessing.

"I'm bigger than you, Max!" cries Beckett.

"Ich bin gross, du bist klein!" yells Max.

(Family Joke)
Barry & I were picking up
Eric from German Preschool one day.
We thought we would observe
him from afar....so we watched
him for awhile. All of a sudden
German started spewing from
his mouth. He was telling an
older boy in German,
"I am Big, You are small"
So I thought I would insert
Eric's words when Max is speaking.

I love ya Max! I love ya back bro!

When will they stop taking pictures of us????
(I hate to tell you boys - NEVER!)

"I can do lots of tricks with my tongue."
Beckett is very impressed as you can tell!

"I have the cutest smile!" Max says.

"I have the cutest stare!" Beckett replies.

Max & Beckett are best buds!

Just hangin' out - waiting for Mom!

Max & Beckett in deep discussion about
their complicated lives -
eating, sleeping, taking naps, etc.
Deserae & Joanna smile as they listen.

"I get the last word! Max, Ich bin Gross!

Du bist klein!"

Max, Beckett, Eric, & Cecily dreaming of

going to Alexis' blessing.

This post is brought to you because of

Mark Bennett.Thank you Mark for copying

all of my old pics & putting them on my

brand new computer! Barry said that many years

ago when we bought our first computer it

was around $2,000 and of course didn't

have internet. Now we have this computer

that can do lots of things and it was

only$900.00. This paragraph is for

posterity's sake. I wonder how

the future will be?

Alexis looking Beautiful

Here is Alexis being her beautiful self!

Tutus are Too Too Much Fun!

Gigi & Mommy decided to try out their talents to
make me a tutu & I looked Very Cute!

The tutu turned out really big and fluffy
and I looked awesome!

Gigi put the tutu on my head and I was darling!

The Head Tutu was fun to wear
& I looked Spectacular!

I liked the Tutu & said, "Coo Coo!"

Tutus always make me smile!

Gigi had some little flowers from her arrangement
that Mommy glued on my tutu & I looked fabulous!

I smiled and everyone's day was happier!
Thanks for the Tutu.
I had too too much fun!
