The Tree is up

I love our Christmas tree, but I don't like fighting with the kids for the next 25 days to stay away and tell them that the christmas balls on the tree do not bounce!! Good times ahead this Holiday season.

Thanksgiving!

Had a wonderful Thanksgiving in St. George with all Hecht side. Good times, the car rides were pretty rough with three little one's, especially Bentley, he hates the car. We went bowling, played at the park, did pictures at the temple, ate alot of good food and had thanksgiving dinner at chuck o roma!! Over all great trip!

Some things you missed

We have had alot of fun things to post about since Ben's first day of school like all our birthdays, Ben, Brad and me. I went to Florida for 5 days to visit my sister Kelli. Bentley had his first ride on Poppi's tractor, Ben had a field trip to the Apple Farm and Finally got to ride on the Bus! We went to Pismo with all the boys and had alot of fun. Brad fell outside against the fence and got a piece of fence in his head, that was a fun E.R. visit! Life is going on like always! Blesssed to have my boys!

My new Laundry Room

So I decided to pick my first room to decorate, and so I picked the Laundry Room! I made it as girly as I could! I figure I am the only one to step foot and actually do something in that Room. I am pleased how it turned out!

First Day of School

So here is the grand post about the first day of school. I started my tears the night before and they have not stopped since. I don't know how to explain Ben in a nutshell, but here is some back ground. He was non-verbal at the age of 2, and showed signs of Autism, so when we found this out we went to work!! We have had an amazing Speech Therapist who has opened up Ben in ways we have never known. She is also the person I cry to for advice and courage. He has hurdled over so many stumbling blocks with his head high and a lot of tears from the both of us. Ben has taught me to love in a different way, and helped me become a strong Mother. He loves hanging out with his friends and learning new things. He loves going to the Red House (Kmart) and getting new toys. I think I am about to cry just writing about my Benjamin, it is so hard for me to send him to school and not worry about him not listening and being everywhere without me there to tell him what to do. I have to trust myself that I have done all that I could to prepare him for this next journey. He is already struggling and having a hard time grasping everything, but he never not wants to go. He always gives me a high five and tells me bye as he is running to the bikes on the play ground. This is going to be the greatest roller coaster of our lives and one that is not going to end anytime soon!!

Grammy's House

All the kids were outside playing in the backyard at Grammy's house and decided to get dirt everywhere. So we through them in Gramm'ys big tub and scrubbed them up. This is the result of 4 clean children laying on Grammy's bed.

Having fun with Daddy's camera

The Boy's found Daddy's camera and wanted to be cute and I could not resist a cute moment!!! This is one of the rare moments of the day when the boy's get along!! But how cute are they!! hehehehe

The Mullet

The is the traditional cutting of the mullet pictures!! All the boys had the sweet mullet look and it just has to go when they turn one!! So this is Bub's going through with it. Believe it or not I was ok with it, but Brent had a hard time seeing it go. I think its hard to see the baby curls go on your last baby!!! But now he looks like his buzz brothers!!

Monkey is #1

We celebrated Bentley's big #1. Thanks to all of those who came and had tons of fun and good food!! He loved the cake and gifts. Where has the time gone!!

Pajama Brothers

I can't believe how fast they grow up!! Sometimes I have to look back at the pictures to realize how much they have grown, but time does really fly. Trying to enjoy all that I can before they are married off!!!

Thomas the Train

I didn't get the best pictures, but we went and saw Thomas the Train in Filmore last Friday!! It was so fun, Benjamin saw him from the car and started flipping out. We went on a 25 win ride and they got to see him and wave to him. They had Thomas activities around there to play with. Overall it was a really fun day with all the kiddies!!

My Bub's

This is what I walked into yesterday morning!! I laughed so hard, he is such a funny little Bubby!!!!! He is growing up so fast and his personality if really starting to come out. He is crawling everywhere and standing up on furniture, I give him a month and I will be chasing him all around!
