Baby Bottle Fundraiser

Help Change the Bennett's Lives!

That is what the sticker on these baby bottles says. We have officially started our baby bottle fundraiser! When we came across this idea we thought it was awesome! So we will be handing out these bottles to everyone we know. Then you will have about a month to fill it up with all your extra change and then we will pick them all back up! We thought it was such a great idea, because everyone always has spare change just lying around!

Please let me know if you would like a baby bottle for your spare change!! Also if you know of other people who may be able to fill one let us know that too! We can give you as many as you think you can get filled! If you live out of town and would like us to mail you one, we will. or you can collect it in a container of your choice and cash it in and send it! Whatever works for you :). I want to give the "out of towners" a chance to participate!!

We are excited about this fundraiser! It should be fun for everyone!

Dear Little One puzzle fundraiser

For an upcoming fundraiser that we decided to do was a puzzle fundraiser.







We are inviting you to sponsor a puzzle piece for $5 each. You can sponsor as many pieces as you want. Each piece you sponsor, we will write your name on the back of that piece before putting it into the puzzle. Once all the pieces are sponsored, we will frame the puzzle in a double sided frame and hang it in the house. It will be a reminder of everyone who prayed for us and supported us financially through this journey of adoption.







Here is the puzzle that we have ordered:











































I saw this one on someone else's blog and thought it was adorable and fit perfectly! (It might take a while to put together w/ all the blues and whites-lol). If you would like to sponsor a piece of the puzzle, please click the donate button on the side or contact me (crysandtravbennett06@yahoo.com) to mail a check to go towards this fundraiser :).



Thanks again!!!

O wow!

Where do I even begin! Its been a while, for that I'm sorry-lol. I don't even know if people read this anymore, and if not, that's fine. I would like for people to actually read this though :). We did another IUI in July and today I found out that it was not successful. Travis and I have decided that we will be moving on towards adoption. We are very excited and very scared to be starting this because I know it will take a while. Its all going to be in God's hands though, and we will take it all day by day. We are most likely looking into domestic adoption, as it has higher chance we will get an infant.

I ask that you pray for us during this time. Pray for our future baby (or babies-we may get twins, ya never know :)). Pray that the perfect birth parents will pick us to be parents to their child.

Thanks :)

I will keep you posted on the process and what is going on and when!

Long time...

.... no post.





Im sorry about that! I guess its just been crazy wild. I dont even know where I left off! haha.


Oh, we had been starting our fundraising for IVF.





Well, that has been going great to such amazing and generous people!! We are so blessed and know that our child will be amazingly blessed and loved by soo many people! Im so excited to bring a child (children) into this world and into such a loving environment!





As for our fundraiser, we have about $2k, give or take, and are so thrilled for what God has done in our lives, for our child(children). I want to say this now, this is ALL God. None of this would have came to be w/ out Him.





I dont know what the future holds or when we will be able to do the IVF. It is very costly, but like Ive said, God will provide every single penny that we need! Im so excited about that!





Travis and I will be celebrating our 5th anniversary next week (June 24th). Im so excited and so blessed to have gotten to be married to the love of my life for 5 wonderful years. Im very excited too bc for my gift we are going to go see Cars 2 in 3D :). Yes, We are children! haha.





Sadly though, June 20 would have been my due date for our embryo that didnt make it last fall. It will be a sad day, but a happy day as well knowing that one day we will see that baby in heaven. God will bless us in the meantime and we will always remember our baby that wasnt meant to be (at that time).





Other than that, not much going on in the Bennett house :). Just finishing up this term for school and waiting for another to come up on June 27th. Travis didnt get to work at the high school or college this summer, but in the fall he will be teaching 2 classes on tue and thur night so that will help us pay our dr bills down and other bills we rack up while doing treatments. and save money for the future.





That's about all :). Maybe I wont go so long w/ out a post :)
