There's a first time for everything!

And this would be one of those moments...Ben in green tights!! Oh ya! So Monday night we had our annual family Halloween party. It's always so fun with all the cousins, five different soups and stews, and homemade bread..mm mm. This year I had a date so I took advantage and thought of a costume for Ben and I. He was so willing to do whatever and didn't mind wearing the tights. So Peter Pan and Tinkerbell were a hit! We were the only 'adults' that dressed up but everyone loved it. Why didn't I dress up as Wendy you ask? Well because Tinkerbell is cuter and I'm a home wrecker alright?!?

My niece Chloe and Ben were having a good time. He always comes in and swoops her up from my sister, Sarah. She calls him her 'manny.' Notice they have that same big ol' smile?

You don't have to do much to entertain Chloe but he still always manages to make her smile!

Chloe is getting used to her new Uncle Ben.

Bling Bling!

I know what you're thinking... "How many pictures in the truck do they have??" We hadn't taken one in the truck for a long time so I thought this Sunday we should keep up the trend. Also I thought Ben's haircut looked nice. Oh and I was wearing a new shirt!



Ok so here it is!!! This is best picture I could get of the beautiful ring but it still doesn't do it any justice. I love it!! This is the typical face when I'm sitting in front of my computer doing homework.

Busy Day

So this was last Saturday at Jillian's 1 year birthday party. It was outside at the park and it was such good weather! Sadee and Emma always try to find the closest spot to Ben. Sadee is pretty tough but I guess she conceded to Emma and sat one spot away. We are all pretty concentrated on our ice cream cake because it was about to melt!

My mom took this picture of us. I guess we were practicing for our engagement photos...or something. I was excited when she took this because I thought she got the ring in it but she missed by a finger!! We'll try again! Later that day I took the women of my life, and my best friend Jayme and went shopping for 'the dress'. Let's just say it was a pretty successful day!

Narcissistic Much?

You may be overwhelmed by this rapid succession of pictures but I wanted to put some up of Ben and me so everyone would believe that I am in fact engaged and do have an excuse to make a blog! Here are the many times we have been in Ben's truck (some of which we are stopped and some not stopped...sorry Mom). Each of these holds a memory for me of a trip we took or of an event we were going to together. I look forward to making more memories! Oh and for Katie's sake... I'll try and get a picture of the amazing ring up soon!

Ok! I bowed to the beast known as blogging. You won Sarah!

Yes, yes. I started a blog for Ben and I. Of course I will depend on all of the veterans of this habit to help us out. I say 'us' because I will force Ben to like it and sit by me every minute while I decorate the heck out of our page. Here we go!!..
