I'm at school right now writing this blog post. I wish I was with my baby!
I know this is random, but I am showing an awesome student how to blog. It's basically a lesson on technology and how to use it for a leisure activity! I DO wish I could be with my baby 100% of the time though. Spring break is coming soon. . .

More Photos
I told some of you that I would post more of the pictures taken by AK Studios. So, here they are! Enjoy and feel free to comment on how gosh darn cute he is! It helps me to maintain sanity during the late nights. (Yes, still. From what I hear it goes on for months and months.)

Talkin' 'bout the Daycare Hotties
I know that this is starting to be "Benson's Blog" but compared to how cool Benson is, Mitch and I are totally lame! For example he was smiling a lot this morning so I got down by him and started to talk to him about the cute girls he'll be meeting in daycare. I asked him if he's going to flirt with them and what he'll say to them. To my delight he started to coo back and gave me a semi-giggle. He likes to make the "ahhhhhh" sound and the long "eeeeeeeeee" sounds with some "geeeee's." Now, if I told you that Mitch did that same thing, you'd think I'd gone crazy. Wouldn't you?
A few weeks ago my friend Amanda's friend (Abbey - AK Studio and Design) came over to take photos of my Benson. He was exactly 1 month and 2 days old and cute as can be. I wanted to post some of the funny photos and others that I like. If you want to see the pictures that she enhanced and made gorgeous go to www.abbeykyhl.com and look under "bellies and babies." She did a great job. The day of the photo shoot he spent a lot of time naked. I was peed on several times and even pooped on. Mitch ended up with a handful of Benson's bum stuff. I was surprised he didn't lose his lunch when that happened. Even though it got messy, the pictures turned out and as you see, we did have some fun!
Here are a few of Benson's favorite things: (Yes he did tell me himself!)
- Staring at the dark walls where they meet the lightly painted walls
- Looking at the photos of himself in the living room
- Having his bum patted
- Mommy kisses (that might be MY favorite, not his)
- Tub time
- Pooping while having his bum wiped
- Sleeping in the Boppy pillow
- Grandmas - they are the BEST
- Chilling with dad on the couch watching Jazz games
- He also started blowing little spit bubbles today - not sure if it's a favorite yet
- And finally waking mom up to hang out in the dead of night!

Blessed
Last Sunday Benson was blessed. Mitch was pretty nervous, but did a great job. It was a really sweet blessing. I was surprised at how nervous I was! As we got ready that morning I didn't get myself or Benson dressed until the last minute. I just knew that I would change a diaper only to end up soiled and I didn't want Benson soiling his blessing outfit either. My efforts paid off and we both stayed unsoiled.
The after party at our house ended up going much better than I expected. We don't have the largest home, but somehow we all fit and no one suffocated due to overcrowding. Thank goodness we finished a room in our basement. The only rough part of the day was the dead mouse that the nieces and nephews found in our backyard. After it was disposed of, the rest of the day went smoothly!
Mitch is so willing to do so many things for me and I know that I don't always express how grateful I am for all that he does (dishes, laundry, yard care, garbage management, house decorating, and exercise motivation). Not many girls can say that their husband is a better homemaker than they are! His kindness never ends.
What did I do so right to be so blessed?

I am so blessed to have such wonderful family! I couldn't have survived the blessing day without all of their help. So many people offered to 
bring food and treats. It made the dinner PERFECT. I also know that I have the greatest husband ever! How blessed we are to have the priesthood in our home. It meant so much to m
e that he gave a thoughtful and inspired blessing to our little Benson.
