I can't believe it!

My sweet Bennett Grey! I can't believe he just turned 2! It really seems like yesterday that I was in the hospital waiting his arrival. After 5 very long weeks of bed rest in the Hospital, He finally came! We were all so excited and thankful that this little trooper made it here safely. Even tho he was in the NICU for almost 6 weeks, I knew he would be just fine. He has been my light. I seriously love him more than words can describe. He has come such a long way over the past 2 years. There have been ups and downs just like any child may have, but he is so strong.

this is one of my favorite pictures from when he was born. The soothie looks so big, but it is really just the small baby behind it. He would always have such a strong hold on his soothie.
His first year went by so fast. Before I knew it, he was one!
kept on growing.....


and now he is TWO!




He had so much fun on his 2nd birthday! We decided to keep it small and just do dinner at Peter Piper Pizza. we made sport themed treats and cake. With 2 older brothers, he is not used to being the center of attention, so he was in heaven :) He got so many fun gifts that will keep him busy for a pretty long time!
He really liked his Football cake. He had no idea what to do to the candles so his older cousins had to help him out with that.
My parents got him this lighting McQueen that he calls "Kachow" He rides it all over the house
sweet boy!

Like I said earlier, Grey is so special. He continues to be a huge light in my life. Now that the older boys are in school, he gets to be my little buddy. We both enjoy it. Unless you have been around this kid, you can't understand how good he is. He is so easy going and really never gives us a hard time.
He is into Elmo, Mickey (he calls mickey "hotdog"), ALL cars, and he LOVES horses!
He has been coming along so well with therapy. He has it 4 times a week and all his therapist are great. He gets so excited when he hears on knock on the door because he knows that it is most likely a therapist.
His facial expressions are HILARIOUS. He is so expressive and animated. He is a very good listener, so he is fun to teach.
Grey, We wish you a VERY happy birthday! I am sure before I know it, you will be 3! Thank you for being such an angel in our family! We love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our Family (by a 4 year old)

Brogan was asked at school to go through magazines and cut out people that reminded him of his family. When I picked him up, he was so excited to show me "our family". This is his description.
1. Daddy (very good looking man. pretty normal)
2. VANCE! I guess Santa reminds bro of vance. I asked him why and he said "because he looks like him"
3. Brogan. Of course brogan is a very normal very cute little boy that actually does look a little like him.
4. Grey. just the top of a baby's head.
5. So this is a picture of an old lady with a cane. I was a little offended as I said, "brogan, I am not this old, and I don't use a cane."
his reply, "Mom, that is not you. That is my sister." Um.... clearly he doesn't have a sister so obviously I told him there is no
sister. He seriously laughed and said, Mom! not yet, but we WILL have one! and that is her!"
well ok then.
6. toys. He just had to include toys as part of his family.
So that is it? seriously? Where am I?! I pretended to be very sad as I asked him where I was.... he says, "oops I forgot". As I became even more sad, he started frantically searching his back pack and told me he did make me, but he must have left it at school. I found the whole thing pretty funny and told him I loved his family. little brogan is just so sweet and he LOVES school. all the kids and teachers love him. His main teacher told me that he is a delight to have in class. I am so proud of him. Everyday when I pick him up, kids line up to hug him good-bye. It's hilarious. Good job Bro!

The Dentist





When I was a kid, the dentist was like the scariest place EVER! Now it's a totally fun place that the kids LOVE to go to. Grey and Vance had pefect teeth:) Bro had almost perfect. He had a very small cavity on the front of his tooth that just had to be sanded down. No biggie. No numbing or anything. They all got extra exrays because I my condition, buy luckily teeth are all there. These boys are perfect:) Grey actually was the best out of the 3. Yep, my one year old.
