Cookies and Milk

One night we ask Logan what he wanted for a snack and he told us cookies. Then he told us "nook, I dip it."Ben patiently waiting for his turn. :)

Awards Banquet- Year 2

Ben has been serving on the Honor Guard for two years. In those two years, he has participated in numerous funerals and retirement ceremonies over much of the state of Oklahoma. He does his job well, even though he would never say that. It came time for the awards banquet and Ben was nominated for Ceremonial Guardsman of the Year for the officers. (I am not sure if you remember last year, but we initially weren't going and ended up going at the last minute.) Anyway, this is the same award that Ben received last year, so when I found out was nominated once again, I immediately asked him if we were going. He wasn't sure, but then he found out that he was the only one nominated. Since I knew far enough in advance, I was able to go and get a new dress with the help of Jenna. (It was wonderful to have someone be available to give a second opinion and also watch the kids while I tried on what seemed like a hundred dresses.) Here are some pictures from the banquet.

Looking good!

Walking through the sabre arch (sorry it is so dark) Receiving his award

I don't often get the chance to say that I proud of my husband, but I am truly blessed to have Ben for my husband. He works hard at home and at work and this award just goes to show that he is good at what he does!!!!

Random pics

So I take pictures, don't have time to blog, and then suffer from kidnesia (amnesia caused by having kids.) So I will do my best to try to label these pictures. Who wears short shorts? Audrey-these were Logan's when he was first born. Since Mommy was on the computer, Logan thought that he should be on his little laptop and say "Cheese!" The next few pictures of Audrey in her hat and bootie set that Emily made.

Cute feet

I think she might be trying to sing in this one.

I am not sure if you can tell, but Audrey is keeping a close eye on what her brother is doing.
