Father's day/Crazy Benson

Happy Father's Day Spencer!

Top 3 things that make Spence an outstanding Father:

1. He ALWAYS has time for the family: We have always known that we are his 1st priority. He will drop everything to help us when we need it and is looking out for our best interest--he is a very unselfish Father. He's also a ton of FUN!

2. He is a great teacher: Spencer has a talent for teaching. He knows what to say and do to help us understand what he is trying to teach.

3. He killed everything but the peas in our garden: This makes him the BEST father because now his wife doesn't feel so bad about killing the grass which makes the family happier!! :) We learned that gardens only like a little bit of Dunkley maneuver instead of multiple shovel fulls!

A peak into our Funny Father's Day; provided by Benson Miller.

1. 15 minutes before we leave for church Benson pulls out his NINJA moves and starts wrestling Reece. This causes Mom to "yell quietly!" for them to stop so their hair doesn't mess up!

2. I had 2 LARGE bags (Young Women's and sacrament meeting goodies), 2 binders (piano sub for Primary), and scriptures. As we reach the entrance of the Chapel Benson decided to attack Reece with his monster hug. Reece resists and Benson continues attacking. We are now completely blocking the entry way (thanks to all my crap) and since Reece won't give Benson a hug, Benson decided to kiss and hug my baby (meaning my belly bump)! My binder falls to the ground with my scriptures and so as Benson is holding tight onto the baby I am trying to pick everything up. KEEP IN MIND: we are still at the entrance of the chapel and there are TONS of people trying to get inside. We definitely made our very own entrance.

3. The boys went to the stage to sing the Father's day songs. I am playing the piano thinking everything is going swell. I get to the bench when we are done and Spencer is laughing hysterically. Apparently, Benson had the whole congregation LAUGHING (many people commented about him after church). He stood there with his tongue out and monster face dancing to the music. During the 2nd song he decided while dancing to lick Reece's arm from bottom to top. After church I asked him if he was reverent or silly--he was proud to say he was silly. We have some work to do with that child! :)

4. On our way to my Mom's for dinner Reece told Spencer he was speeding. They proceeded to tell him he was going to be put in jail. In a very serious voice, Benson said, "if you go to jail, I'm going to have to get my Ninja out". This is Benson's new phrase for when he wants to threaten someone.

On a positive note: Reece gave the scripture in church and was absolutely adorable. He walked up to the pulpit, opened the Bible, and started reading. He has zero fear when it comes to speaking in the microphone.
