Summer Cookouts are the best!

This evening we had our friends Mic, Heather, Will and Olivia and Billy over for a little summer BBQ!

Billy, Benny, Heather and Mic finishing dinner.

 Mic discovered that we have an apple tree in our backyard!  We don't think the apples will be very good to eat, but the kids had fun picking them up and throwing them (and so did the guys!)

Andrew and Will ready for a ride in the bike trailer!

Blueberry/blackberry Picking!

This morning our family, along with our sweet friend from church Ann and her two girls Reese and Dillon, went berry picking!  Andrew picked a few, but most definitely ate them right off the vine and LOTS out of the bucket!

Alex's Room

Andrew loved helping his daddy put together Alex's furniture!  It was so precious! He kept doing the sign for "help" because he wanted to help so badly!

These boys are so blessed to have such and INCREDIBLE daddy!!

Benny's Father's Day Gift

I had these fun onesies made for Father's Day for Benny.  Alex (did I mention that's what the new little fella's name will be??  Alex Ryan Bennison!) will wear these, and Andrew has little tshirts with the same name on the back.  Benny's tshirts say "Benny" and mine say "Mrs. Benny."  We can't wait to wear them to games this fall!!

Here and there Spring Pics

Our silly boy!!

 

Bridgewater has several really cute parks.  One of our favorites is the "duck park."  We can bike there from our house and we bring bread to feed the duckies!!

Wearing Mommy's boots.

At a really yummy local pizza place called "Flying Pizza."

Andrew's favorite Bridgewater College soccer player, Ryan Tavernaris.

Eating his ice cream at Harvey's (the local homemade ice cream shop) that we can also bike to!

 

Williamsburg, VA

Back in May (yes, I'm a total slacker!), we took a really fun trip to Williamsburg, VA with one of Benny's former players from AU and his girlfriend.

Watching Boz with his good buddy Matty.

Super excited about heading to the indoor pool!

Matty and Benny in

Downtown Williamsburg--such a cute place!!

Playing at the park.

Beautiful sunset!!

My best friend and favorite guy in the world!!

Matty and Whitney blessed us with a date night one evening!  This was taken on the porch of our cottage after a little rain shower while they were watching Andrew. 

We're so thankful that we had the opportunity to take this trip, and that we got to spend some precious time with our wonderful friends!!
