So much to say...

WOW! It has been so long since I posted anything on here and sooooo very much has happened in my life for the good that I must share!
First, we had another successful family reunion at Buffalo Campground in Island Park. Lots of floating down the, at times, super lazy and shallow Buffalo River with as many as could come. I think all of us went multiple times except for mom who wasnt quite into the float so she stayed behind and hung out with the lil ones most of the time. Brian and Taylor did their hilarious "Mini-man's daily routine" act that only they can pull off...it just wouldnt be the same if they didnt do it at a Benson family reunion. They had us rolling in the dirt and Erin was officially inducted into the Benson craziness once and for all! I'm sure she was wondering what in the world she had married into but she is one of us now and I dont think we will be letting her go! The Benson Reunion was made so fun and so relaxing and just memorable by all the family members...we were all there together and who knows when that will be able to happen again?! I sure enjoyed every minute spent with all the kids and even the adults! Everyone pitched in for glorious meals and treats galore! It was FaBuLoUs! Had all the major ingredients for a great time: Family, Food, and Fun! Cant wait til we get to do it again!!!
Another exciting announcement isnt really mine to announce so I am just gonna say there are gonna be two more additions to the Benson Clan in the early part of 2011. I am so excited to say the least! Cant wait to hold them and kiss them and love on them!!!!
Last but certainly not least, Bralee was baptized on the 4th of September by her Uncle Taylor. She looked beautiful and radiated such joy and happiness in a white dress that her cousin Ashley let her borrow (the dress prolly cost as much as a wedding gown)! A lot of members came from both sides of her family which made it extra special for her. Her father and stepmom and 5 month old brother were an added surprize since they werent sure if they were going to be able to attend. Bralee was so excited to see each and every person that came and supported her decision to be baptized. To top it all off she recieved such wonderful gifts from family and friends to help her remember her day...not the least of which is her new puppy Angel. It was such a great day!
