While we were in Utah we revealed the name of the new little guy that will be joining our family in a few weeks. It took a lot of patience on my mom’s part not to know. Everyday when I would talk to her she would try and trick it out of me. Silly moms!

So drumroll please…………

BENTON KYLE CRANE

I had such a hard time picking a boy name. I seriously lost sleep over it. (Dumb I know!) I decided to pray about it while in the Temple a few months back and I received an answer.  When I told Ben he thought about it for a while and decided that he liked the name but wanted to call the baby Kyle instead of Ben. (He said having 2 Ben’s in the house would be too confusing.)

Ben’s dad’s name is Kyle and we are excited to name our son after him. We want each of our children to be named after someone we love and look/looked up to. We want the names to come from people who are strong examples of living a God centered life, who cherish their family, and serve others. I’m grateful that Ben looks up to his dad in this way.

Some may ask why not just use Kyle as the first name. My answer~ I wanted my first born son to be named after the best man I knew and that is my husband. Ben really is amazing and I am so grateful that my children get him as a dad.  Our growing family couldn’t have asked for a better man in our life. So…. Benton it is!
