Just An Update...

I haven't been on here for a little while and Livy's napping so here I am! =) Here's what's happening with the Bensons:
Peter
Peter is now the big 2-5! A quarter of a century old =) We ate out and had french silk pie for dessert. Yum!
Forever my hard working man, Peter's putting in long study hours and work hours. But we're both so excited that after this semester he only has one more before he gets his Bachelor's! How great is that?! After that he'll be doing his internship, probably somewhere in Utah Valley. Then we'll start preparing for Grad School. We're growing up! =) He's the ever-caring husband and pampers me a little bit everyday. Livy loves when she hears her daddy walk in the door and goes running for her hug and kiss from him. He also has a way of making me laugh harder than I have ever in my life! Which is not good in my present state of having a hard time controlling my bladder already...Love him!

Livy Lu
Oh my Livy! She's coming up on 17 months and getting so so big! I've been extremely blessed in that she still takes 2 naps a day. Both about an hour and a half each which gives me much needed time to get things done and get a little extra rest. Livy's discovered the joy of coloring! This has been a BIG help during church. She is so great at leading us to things she wants/needs and will say thank you when prompted. She is starting to talk more and more. She can now say: Mama, Dada, Nana, Papa, tank-you, more, uh-huh, no, dink (drink), and the other day she said Hadley (who is Chris and Hydee's little man). Whenever she wakes up she yells, "Da da!" when she's ready to get out. She still loves her books and is now fascinated with babydolls. We're trying to teach her how to be soft with babies now. If anyone has suggestions to help us ease her into the transition of having a baby sister around, I would love to hear them. She'll be going into nursery in November. I can't believe my little baby is getting so big. She loves to dance to the Hairspray soundtrack! It is so so cute!

Heidi
As for me, I am 28 weeks along and am really starting to feel nervous about being a mom of two. Things are so great though. I'm helping with Achievement Days and really enjoying going to Relief Society and getting to know the great women in my ward. My knee's been giving me issues so I'll be getting fit for a good brace to hopefully help me out. I was able to decorate for my best friend's wedding reception and I was so happy for her and her new hubby! Married life is so much better than single (no offense to anyone out there still single). I love that I get to spend each day with my best friend and that he loves me so much! I really can't believe how blessed my life is, even with the struggles. Peter and Livy brighten each day and make me feel so loved.

Well, that's about it for now. Thanks to all our family and friends for their never ending love and support!
