A DAY AT DISNEY!

A day at Disney World....a sweet gift from God!
While in Florida visiting a church plant from Brazil, we were totally blessed to be able to surprise the boys with a day at Disney World.  It was seriously one of the most memorable and fun days with our oldest boys.  SO SO fun!!

  The boys watching a little video in the backseat, 
who have NO idea they are about to be at Disney World!
 We pulled the car over just a few miles from Disney World and told the boys we had been driving the wrong way for almost three hours...then I looked surprised as a text on my phone came in for the boys.
Beau began to read it and slowly a slit grin turned into jumping and rejoicing...Mickey had sent them a text with the news.  It was priceless.
 On the tram, almost to the gate
 In the park, waiting for the ferry to take us to the magical land...
 The boys with Brady White on the Ferry.  
Brady and Jennafer made the day so fun and surprised them with such sweet treats.  
 Team Bennett heading in...
 Fun hats on, castle in sight....couldn't wait!


 best ride EVER!

 Jennafer White did a major hook up and surprised us all with some of our favorite characters...
I LOVED Mary Poppins....loved her.
 The parade....ah, so great and truly magical! 
 Don't tell anyone, but Chris and I both cried.  I know...

 Tweetle Dee and Tweetle Dum took a liking to the boys :)


 Sweet friends Brady and Jennafer White.  

 It's a Small World....classic.

Joy Elizabeth-9 Months

MARCH 20th, 2012
Continues to shine with the confidence of Christ.
 Covered with truth in the innermost places...I already see it all over your little life.
Eyes are still blue.
Crawling at a fast pace from one side of the house to the other.
Stood for almost 30 seconds all by yourself.
You want to walk and keep up so badly with your bubbas.
Your brothers absolutely adore you.
Brooks did want to pretend you were a horse and ride you...but he was trying to do it so gently.
Fabulous sleeper.
You have still not turned your nose up at green veggies.
 A dancing, worshipping machine!  
Arms never stop moving when the music is played
You love to cuddle-yeah!
 continues to simply fill our home with great delight...



Our 9 month rug pic!
