We had the returned missionary portuguese class together (it was my very first class at BYU..not a very good idea.) I think he thought it was kinda cool that I was young and spoke portuguese. He was and still is all about brasil, so he was into that. so my thoughts were... 1) "Is he behind me again?" He used to try and talk and walk with me aft...

I love these pictures...you can just see them amazement on his face. This was by far his favorite ride (it's a small world), and when it was over he kept saying 'more'. This was always my favorite ride when I was little and I'd want to go on it again and again. It's amazing how when you're older, you realize how cheesy and ghetto the ride really is, but it's so magical when you're little. Our little Edie girl has moved so far away from us, and Benson is sad. He loves his cousin. They had fun together at Toon Town. We walked over to the dumbo ride, and I went to get him out and he was OUT. He was so exhausted, so our day ended a little early. It was so fun though. I have always loved disneyland, and it was so fun to take my little one there and see the wonder and pure excitement of it all through his eyes.

We love the house, the neighborhood, and the ward, and benson especially loves his backyard. I'll post some pictures when I take some..a couple people have asked to see it. I'm really slow at this (if you havn't noticed), but I'll get some up. In between packing, moving, and unpacking, we've managed to squeeze in lots of time in California. My grandpa passed away last month so I went home for awhile to be with my mom and family and attend his funeral. It was an amazing funeral, my grandpa was an incredible person. It was a really good trip, with lots of time to reflect and be with family. And Benson discovered his most favorite thing in the whole world to do...go to the beach. He'd cry when we'd leave after an entire day. I've never seen him be so happy.. and it made me the most happy. My boy loves the beach as much (or more) as...
