I'm also the only one who's underphotographed in this family, I couldn't find a single recent picture of me to add to this post. Isn't that Joe's job...?

Uncle Tyler's Wedding...


We took a quick trip out to Utah for my brother's wedding the first week of June. Carter loved seeing his cousins and spending a lot of time with his Dad. Plus he got to go swimming, to the dinosaur museum and he played in the fountain at BYU and ate lots of yummy treats from the BYU bookstore. Thanks Tyler and Mara for getting married so we could take a trip to Utah, even if it was too short.

It's Official...



June 1st 2008 Joe blessed Elise in sacrament meeting, our baby girl is officially Elise Marie Benson. It was a beautiful and long blessing throughout which Ellie screamed at the top of her lungs. Joe kept his cool through the whole thing and at the end blessed our baby with patience that she has not yet received:). She was blessed in the dress that I was blessed in 28 years ago and what makes it even more special is that my Mom made it. It was a wonderful day and we are so grateful to have shared it with our ward family here in Alpharetta Georgia. When we moved here I was in the middle of a miscarriage, it was miserably humid and I was pretty sure I would hate living in Georgia. Now, a year later we have our sweet baby girl, we have so many wonderful friends and though it is still miserably humid, now I know I can be happy here, so very happy.
