Our little graduate... Reid

Oh how fast this year has gone!!! Tues. evening was Reid's pre-K graduation/celebration... and a celebration it was!! He has thouroughly enjoyed this year and have had 2 of the best preschool teachers that I know! He has matured so much this year and can now count to 100... write his complete name... put 100pc. puzzle together with very little help... and has grown so much socially!! God has some wonderful plans for this tender hearted young man... and I can't wait to see it happen!! It was a bitter sweet departure on Wed. the official last day of school complete with "water/fun day". The kids had a blast despite the temp of 60 degrees!!! Oh to be a child again!!

Sunday visitor...

What a surprise we had on our deck Sunday morning... a sleeping nighthawk.... well... so we think?!? Very strange due to the fact that nighthawks are nocturnal... but fun and cheap entertainment for the Bengtson crew... and made for some great conversation at the breakfast table. ;-)

A day in Daddy's world...

In just a few days we will be marking 1 year of being "Missourians" again. We moved to SEMO the end of May 2010 to embark on an amazing opportunity for Nathan with Pioneer Seed. When we moved here the seed plant was nothing more than a cotton field... and now... well... it's HUGE! God has been ever so good in placing amazing people to embark on this journey with Nathan. He LOVES what he does... and we love being back in the "Show Me State." :0)

Park Day Party!!!

What a BEAUTIFUL... and somewhat warm day it was to have a end of the school year party!! All of the kiddos has a FAB time... with lots of giggles, smiles, runs of playing chase and tag, crafts, tatoos, hair paint :)  and LOTS... and LOTS of swinging! We all went on a nature hike to view and enjoy God's awesome creation!!! I have LOVED Reid's pre-K class this year and have made some amazing friendships along the way! Mrs. Gail and Mrs. Amanda are such a blessing to each little life that they mentor to and touch. They are truly gifted at doing what they do! Will miss seeing this crew together as they walk across their graduation stage next Tues. evening. Awww... starting to tear up... ;-(  My baby boy is starting kindergarten!!

Mother's Day 2011

Mother's Day this year was simply exceptional! We were blessed to be present to witness 14 baptisms in Dexter, MO. What a way to spend Mother's day than for my children to be present for such an awesome experience and to answer the many questions that follow such an occasion. :) Nathan took all of us out for some yummy Mexican Sunday evening... and a new Bible to boot! :) I have the greatest husband!!! And the best kiddos ever!! Love you all so very much!!!
