ahhhhh*

* as in take a deep breath "ahhhh"...not screaming "ahhhhh!"

earlier this week my parents called and asked if they could take bennett to the beach with them this weekend.  this doesnt happen much {bennett going away for no apparent reason - i wasnt out of town while stephen was on call, etc, etc} - or at all - and i basically didnt know what to do with myself.  usually if my parents offer to keep him overnight after we all have a big family dinner or something, stephen and i respectfully decline - simply bc we both like having him here with us, and waking up with him, and just knowing he is here.   however, when i mentioned their invitation to stephen, we both said "sure!".

and spent the rest of the weekend blankly staring at each other wandering what in the world we were supposed to do.

we had a blast!  {love you bennett} but your daddy and i had all-out conversations about things, and even stuff.  we had a date friday night, got tcby, rented a redbox movie {best thing ever}, slept in until eight o'clock, ran errands with no naptime to be home for, ate lunch at momma g's, watched golf, attended a good friends 30th bday {we are there - can you believe it?}, and then my parents brought bennett back to us sunday morning before church!  voila!

bennett, on the other hand, did this:

{isnt my momma the cutest...the little boys not too bad himself}

i dont know whats going on here, but i love my dads face:

stick a fork in me im done

more fake smiling {but at least we are looking at the camera now...}

booms and helicopters in the background, but no oil to be seen - and sadly, not many people to be seen, either

im swimming all by myself now!! {with a little help from the puddle jumper - i highly recommend them!!}

stopping to see the trains in foley

to say he had a blast would be putting it mildly.  before we left church on sunday bennett said:
"go to mimidocs now?"
no we are going to go eat lunch.
"ummmmm, no.  lets go mimidocs first, then lunch."

thanks mimidoc! :)
