Natasha, Zachariah, and Sue Plus Granny's 89th Birthday

Benjamin's Cousin's and Aunt from Iowa came to town a few weeks back. We love spending time with them and wish they lived closer. We took the opportunity of their being here to have a family reunion and celebrate Granny's 89th Birthday. It was a wonderful weekend full of sweet memories.
Here's the gang at a Dorman Basketball game (where Thomas, Benjamin's brother is the coach and Matthew, Benjamin's cousin plays...) It was an away game and we like, WERE the cheering section.

Benson's on this "yemon" kick. Everytime we order water, he asks for our "Yemon" and loves eating them.. he makes hilarious faces, but just keeps going back for more!



All four grandbabies...

Benson and Natash. He loved her!!

Will and Addie Grace-- what's funny is, neither of these have that dark "ryan" look, but they look like they could be brother and sister!
