Happy Thanksgiving!

We spent Thanksgiving Day with Clint's family in Montgomery. We had a great time visiting with family and eating yummy food. On Friday, I got up way too early to do some Black Friday shopping. Nana and the girls baked up and decorated some Christmas cookies. Clint went to the Iron Bowl with his dad and Clay. Auburn almost pulled out a win, but we are proud of how hard they played. WAR EAGLE!! Thank you for a great trip!

Family Picture Time :)







Baking Christmas Cookies with Nana




Ready for the Big Game!

Friday night, Uncle Clay and Aunt Julie came over to visit. The girls had fun playing with Uncle Clay. As Josie said, "He is the best uncle ever!" :)

Watching the fun...

New Member of the Benson Family

As of today, we officially have six members in the Benson Family! A beautiful Golden Retriever joined our family. The girls have been asking for one for almost two years and we have been putting it off, but when we found out about this precious boy today we couldn't pass up the offer. So, Clint drove to Polk County, TN and picked him up and we surprised the girls with him! They love him and he loves them! He doesn't have a name just yet because we can't seem to agree on one, but Josie is pushing for Annie. She pointed out to "Annie" that the garage was his new home and she pointed to the inside of the house and said, "This is our home." So sweet! Here is a couple of pictures and I'm sure there will be more to come!

SURPRISE!!



THANK YOU DADDY!!

Look at that face! :)

Three Little Witches

The Benson girls had fun dressing up like witches for Halloween this year. We had fun trunk-or-treating at church and trick-or-treating in the neighborhood. They got WAY too much candy and I think that some of the leftovers may be going in the prize box at school!

Ready to go trunk-or-treating!

First Winning Season in Sixteen Years!!

We are sad that high school football season has come to an end. We enjoyed so much watching Tanner play, whether they won or not. The atmosphere of Friday night football is the greatest! We are so proud that he helped lead Southeast to their first winning season in 16 years!! Way to go Raiders and WAY TO GO MCCUTCHEN!!!

Anna Grace's Birthday at Nana and Paw Paw's

A few weeks ago, we celebrated Anna Grace's birthday in Montgomery. We had a great visit filled with food, fun, and football! Nana cooked all of Anna Grace's favorites...spaghetti, pizza, and lasagna. YUMMY!!


Crazy Braxton trying to make Anna Grace laugh! :)

After a long, fun day...

Dug Gap Teachers Tailgate

A few weeks ago, some of the DGE teachers supported the Southeast football team by tailgating and cheering them on at the game. It happened to be the coldest game of the season, but we still had a lot of fun!

I finally got to break out my Snuggie! :)

Benson Girls Rock Out

I know that they will probably kill me one day for putting this on here, but it is too funny not to share. As I was updating the blog, Brinlee and Josie were rocking out. I have no idea what she is saying, but I do get "rock" in there more than a few times. Sorry about Josie's attire, but at least she has a shirt on! Maybe we have some future rock stars in the Benson Family. They wouldn't be the first ones...ask Clint about his rock band days! :)

Sunday Fun

Today, we celebrated AnnaGrace's birthday at MiMi and PaPaw's house. We had a yummy Sunday dinner with cake and Cookies and Cream Ice Cream, AnnaGrace's request. Thank you MiMi for a wonderful meal! We even had enough to bring home and have leftovers Sunday night.

Ready for church!

Josie, in her new glasses!

Happy 10th Birthday AnnaGrace!!

On October 9th, AnnaGrace turned ten years old. It's so hard to believe that she is officially ten. It really just seems like yesterday that we brought her home from the hospital. We are so proud of the young lady she has become. I keep telling her to please stop growing or at least slow down, but she just laughs. We love you Gracie!!

For her birthday present, she wants to redecorate her room. She got new bedroom furniture and in the next couple of weeks we are going to try to get her room painted and fixed up. I will post pictures as soon as we finish.

To celebrate, she wanted to go to the movies to see Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. So I took her and Brinlee and we had a girl's night out to eat and to the movies.


Another birthday request was to make her own cupcakes. No, she didn't want to order a cake, she simply wanted to have fun making cupcakes. She is not hard to please!

Happy 10th Birthday!

Getting Caught Up...

I haven't updated the blog in a while. We have been busy with school, church, football, and cleaning out closets and moving around bedroom furniture. Hopefully, we will be finished soon and I will post pics of the girl's new rooms. Here are some pictures to get me caught up.

Southeast vs. Model...RAIDERS WIN!!

Clint's Dad, a.k.a PawPaw, came out to watch Tanner that night.

It was a little chilly at the Ringgold game. :)

Josie and Griffin having fun at the game...
