recently in the life of benalie. :)

Lots has been going on in the life of ben and natalie... here are just a few of the things we've been doing. :)

Chris and Rob helped Ben build a bed frame for our new king size bed!Proud boys after a successful finish!THANKS BOYS!! I love my new frame and the huge amount of storage space underneath! I've also been very domestic recently and tried to plan and cook meals so we only have to go shopping every two weeks. it's been really fun to eat a home cooked meal each night. What's nice is that ben likes to help me in the kitchen (and it usually tastes better when he helps--he sneaks in random spices and stuff when I'm not looking) haha.

this is my homemade chicken pot pie. We made one and a half pies and I pretty much ate the one pie all by myself while Ben and i split the 1/2 pie..

finished product.. DE. LISH. (this is the only meal i've taken pictures of, but we also LOVE the croc-pot and the cook book that has ALL croc-pot recipes. We use it like twice a week!

Ben also put shelves up next to our bed.. but this is the only picture i took of it.. You can see the finished product when i post pictures of our house.. they will come soon. promise. :)

Ben looks weird in this picture, (sorry hun), but he lucked out when he married a former jamba girl.. b/c we had delicious smoothies over conference weekend. we also cooked lil' smokeys for conference too. they were great. Also, i took a gift someone gave us and changed the picture to one i liked better.. so now we have this cute family proclamation to hang in our house. That's all for now.. I'll take more pictures of the rest of the house this weekend hopefully.. just depends on when i get the place cleaned. :)
