Benson's Blessing

Benson was given a name and a blessing on March 28th 2010. He was such a good boy during the blessing. Cris blessed Benson to be a example to his peers and family, to listen to his leaders, to find a worthy young woman and to marry in the temple. He was also blessed with health and strength, physically and spiritually.

I decided to forgo the usual white outfit, and found Benson this cute shirt, vest, and pants. I thought that he was the most handsome little guy ever.

Cris and Benson.

So Cris will totally kill me for telling this story but I can't help it, it was so funny!!! Do you see the small cuts on his forehead?? Well, a few days before blessing Benson, Cris went and bought us a new mattress. While in the room getting ready to take the old one out, Cris was standing on the bed. He noticed that the ceiling fan was on, and he thought that he'd better turn it off since the mattress would probably hit the fan on the way out. Instead of getting off the bed and hitting the switch, he went to pull the chain to turn it off. Well he ran right into the fan while it was on, hence hitting his head on the fan a few times. LOL!! I really wish I would have been home to see it happen. His parents got a pretty good laugh about it especially since they were there to see it happen. He didn't even realized it cut him until his mom mentioned it. Needless to say he had quite the headache the rest of the day.

Since Easter landed on General Conferance Sunday, the kids wore their new Easter clothes when we blessed Benson. They all looked really cute!!!

Grandma, and Grandpa Cziep made the 12 hour drive to come to the blessing. The kids were so excited to see and play with them. We took this picture right after church.(I really can't believe that I'm posting these pictures since I have lots of weight to lose, and I just look plain fat. But I'm slowly losing the weight. And I'm doing a biggest loser challenge and have so far lost 9 pounds. I hope that my pre-pregnancy pants will fit me soon) I failed to get a picture with Grandma, and Grandpa Moss.

And we can't have a family picture without pulling faces. :) I personally think Cris has the best one.

After the blessing we had a BBQ out in the back yard, and it was such a beautiful day to do so. The kids ran, and played and we soon started a baseball game in the backyard. I wish I would have taken pictures of everyone playing. We had such a great day with all our family and friends. We are surely blessed to have them, and their support!!!!
