They Finally Let Me Write One

Bennett, here. I wanted to tell everyone about a super-fun weekend I had a few weeks back. It all started with a drive that I thought might never end -my parents called our destination Pleasanton. I wanted to say, "are we almost there yet?" the whole time we were driving, but I don't know how to say that. Anyway, little did I know that I would get to see my whole family and that is how it became super-fun. We went to a party that my Uncle-to-be-Tom threw for my Auntie K. and Uncle Kev. It was their birthday, and Uncle Tom also announced that he and Auntie K. are getting married! I think that is why my Mom and Noni (Dad's Mom) did so much giggling and looking at magazines about brides. I just liked the party because 1.My family was there 2.There were balloons and 3.I got to do a little dance show for everyone. Not to mention that Uncle Tom had a sweet practice kit that I was later able to advance my drumming skills on...
Auntie K. and Uncle Tom were really happy and everyone had a lot of fun at the party. I heard that I get to be the ring bearer at the wedding; I know what a ring is, and I know what a bear is, but I still don't know what that means.

Anyhow, the next day we went to Carmel Valley to visit my Bumpa, my other Bumpa (everyone tries to get me to call her Grammy, but I like saying Bumpa better), Auntie CoCo and Mombo. It was quick, but we had a really good time. My favorite part was when they all sang my favorite song "She Loves You." You had to be there.

Thanks for reading!

By the way, check out the countdown to when my new baby brother or sister is coming-it's on the right side of the page. Also, my Mom is awesome.


Here's my Auntie K, Grampa, and Noni

Balloons are fun (look closely, I think Uncle Kev fell asleep)




Here is that little dance I mentioned; too bad I don't know how to work the video
on this thing...it was some of my better moves.


That's my dad and my Auntie K - precious


That's my Bumpa (on the left) and my other Bumpa (on the right)

This is me chillin, reading the funnies on my Bumpa and my other Bumpa's couch.

Hey Bennett,
thanks for the update. I wish we could go dancing together- we'd be the best couple on the floor. Tell your mom that my mom would love to see a picture of her belly!
love,
Gigi

Nice work Bennett. That was a pretty fun weekend, I'm glad you enjoyed yourself as much as I did. I like the baby countdown, although he/she looks pretty alienish in the picture. :) I guess they look that way for awhile. You turned out pretty cute though. Good job on that too.

Way to go, Bennett! I'm glad you had such a good time at the partay. It's hard being the life of the party, isn't it? Tell Mom and Dad and baby, "hi" Love, Nni
