Dad goes tubing!
No my dad is not 16 years old... but you would never know it. He thinks he is one of the kids! He went almost all the way to the top and went tubing down this huge hill. We love our dad... he's always up for some fun!

Tagged Again!
So my mom was tagged again... As I was filling this out, I realized I know nothing about my parents dating years! I guess I better get askin some questions!
1. Full name: Craig Lloyd Bennett
2. How long have you been married: Too long to count... I think like 28 years. All I know is they've set good examples for all of us!!
3. How long did we date: They started back in high school and got married when my mom was 20... I think. So like... 3 or 4 years.
4. Who said I love you first: I'm sure my dad did... My mom was one HOT babe who I'm sure played hard to get!
5. Who is taller: He is... If my mom is wearing her flats.
6. Who sings better: Actually, niether of them are too bad... Don't get me wrong... Not too good either. Lets just say, the ward choir is about as far as their talents take them!
7. Who's smarter: Depends on the subject. We would always go to my dad for History questions and my mom for English. They are both very knowledgeable about the gospel and everyday things.
8. Who does the laundry: My dad claims he does, but the farthest he goes is throwing them in the washer... I think if they ever get folded it's all my moms doing!
9. Who pays the bills: My dad doesn't even know what a bill is... It's all my mom!
10. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed: My dad does
11. Who drives: They try to make the other one do it every time... I think they both hate driving!
12. Who's more stubborn: I think probably my mom... we still love ya though!
13. Who kissed who first: Like I said... I'm sure my dad had to work for it!
14. Who asked who out first: My dads twin asked my mom out first!! I love that story! But eventually my dad saw a good thing and I'm sure he asked her out!
15. Who proposed: Hopefully he did!
16. Who has more siblings: Equal... My mom has 4 sisters and 1 brother and my dad has 3 sisters and 2 brothers.
17. Who wears the pants in the family: Definitely my mom! However... my dad has it pretty easy!
I tag anyone who has read this who hasn't already done it!! Don't try to get out of it either!

Happy Birthday Mom!
It was my moms birthday on Saturday and we partied hard!! Her only request was to go to the temple with everyone. So we went to the morning session, and one of her bestfriends showed up with her family and attended the session with us. It was a good way to start the day. Then we went back to my sisters and ate, played ping-pong, and relaxed. We ended the night by going to a movie. In other words... we partied from 9:30 a.m. - 9:30 p.m.Happy Birthday mom!! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH! We couldn't ask for a better mom!

Tagged
Just so we're all aware... my parents have no clue how to blog! So, as a good daughter, I am doing it for them. My mom was tagged by her friend, and I am answering them from my perspective!
A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
B. Each player answers the questions about themselves
C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names and then goes to their blogs and leaves a comment, letting them know that hey have been tagged and that they should read your blog.
10 years ago... My mom was busy juggling work and 3 daughters and a husband. She had 2 girls who were in the akward age of junior high and trying to help them figure out boys, school, the world, etc. She had 1 daughter who just graduated and was begining college. That in itself was a handful! My dad was starting the fun of being in bishoprics and always busy with church callings and work.
5 Things on my to do list today... Go to work, Cycling class, probably something for church, call each of her kids, probably more work at home!
Snacks that I enjoy... Chocolate, Diet Coke, Chocolate, Diet Coke, Mexican food
What I would do if I were suddenly a billionaire... She would probably quit her job and then spoil her family like crazy! She'd give us each a few million and set up college funds for all her grandchildren!!... Just dreaming! My mom is good at helping her kids but also making them work for their money! She really would probably travel with my dad and hopefully take her whole family along on a few trips!
3 of my bad habits... My mom is perfect!
5 places I have lived... Provo, Norway, American Fork, Highland, and Highland again.
5 jobs that I have had... a mom, secretary for the Superintendent, and that's all I've ever known of my mom! But, she works REALLY hard!
5 things people don't know about me... 1) She is crazy busy trying to balance work, being my dads personal secretary for work and church, and being the greatest mom and grandma ever! 2) She used to eat pretzels and diet coke on a daily basis. 3) She is constantly doing some form of exercise... growing up it was so annoying to try and watch a movie with your mom doing jumping jacks right by you. She can't just sit still. 4) She can't handle any violence at all... she closes her eyes through a lot of movies. She had to sit with her back to the t.v. when we watched Cinderella Man. 5) She went on a date with my dads twin before going out with my dad! We are sure glad she clicked with my dad better!
TAG... Sonja, Desi, Becky, whoever else wants to!

Christmas Fun!
Family Fun!! We sang our traditional Norwegian song around the Christmas tree... we all just end up laughing!
Dalton told us the story of baby Jesus and why we have Christmas... Brinn was his sidekick
All the boys got matching P.J.'s... my dad has worn his Christmas nighty for years and gets made fun of from all the boys, so he decided to make them all their own nightys!

Pumpkins
My mom and dad were really good this year and had their own garden. They grew a lot of vegetables, but my favorite thing they grew were their pumpkins... they were HUGE! We were all pretty impressed, and it made their house look really cute for the Fall time.

Wild Hog
My dad is quite the biker! They had a "Wild Hogs" party, and my dad just had to dress up! He looked pretty cool and fit right in at the party! His grandkids were a little scared of his new get-up though! We love our dad!
