All this time, and thought of starting a business with my sister is very real now. We have designed products, traveled to trade shows to sell our awesome little kits, Kris and Brian have put countless hours doing the tortuously boring business side of it all, and now, our kits are on their way. From China to Seattle port, via big huge gigantic ship, then to Whidbey via super big Truck. Then we will be adding a custom camp logo stickers for each camp and ship them to camps all across America for Happy little campers.


It's a photo album, 12- 8x8 sheets of paper, epoxy stickers, journal cards, adhesive, & glitter gel pen. It's way cool, and you can buy one at KrisandKatyDesign.com (come on, I had to try, sell sell sell) Yippy.


Ugh, bad lighting,very yellow, anyways Riley and I were just being silly before her bed time last night.

I'm A Slacker...
Two months without posting... bad bad bad.
I lost my camera, first I thought maybe Lexy took it to Mexico, then wondered if Jimmy borrowed it for his not so great Disney trip, (lots of $$$ and David was scared $#!t-less and didn't get, feel, or see the magic that is Disney) but no, still no camera. Then my brother in law Brian called asking me if I was missing anything important... well it turns out that Easter Sunday we all gathered at my parents for Brunch and the super fun egg hunt and somehow my camera ended up in their egg hunting clothes* bag, which they just now unpacked. (note* when egg hunting at the Bennett's you need spare clothes, due to the pushing and shoving to find the most eggs, or finding the $20 egg of brag)

Whats happening at our neck of the wood?... Jimmy my ogar brother and roommate has found a great girl, shes a keeper. David (Jimmy's boy) was on the school Chess Club and beat every kid he played. Way to go David!!!! I played him once and lost, still feel pretty stupid about that, don't think I'll play him again anytime soon.
Riley is still potty training, and has found a new love to sing, she enjoys sing on the top of her lungs so we can all hear. (even our neighbors can hear) pretty funny.
Lexy got to go to Mexico with her grand parents, she came back pretty tan, (no burns thank goodness) She needs to put her head in the books at school and stay out of trouble, but that's hard when you are 15.
And Sophie, well Sophie has moved out, she is now living Chris, he pays more attention to her, grooms her regularly etc... She was getting depressed at our house, just laying around sleeping , trying to hide from Riley, because Riley shows her love through squeezing her like a boa constrictor.
The girls go to Chris's about every other weekend and say that Sophie looks the happiest shes looked in a long time. Chris brings her over from time to time when he visits the Island.
I'll do my best to keep my blog updated at least every month.
YCOUSIN LOVEY
Every Sunday after Church Grandpa takes all the kids to Wendy's for lunch. Well, Grandpa was busy soaking up the rays in Mexico, so Aunt Krissy and Katy took over lunch duty. Because we were in charge we let the kids pick the fine dining place, so we took it up a notch and went to Arby's. (ooooh so fancy) We feasted on deep fried food, sodas, milk shakes, and plenty of laughs. Now I see why my dad does this every weekend, it was quite fun.
Sandwiched between her cousins she loves so much Riley was a happy camper, also happy because she had her own soda, that she wouldn't let go of.
