~Our January 2011~

This was the second snow of the year. Bentley wanted to go play in it so we froze out their! It was probably 10 degrees outside when we were playing in it. Maybe I'm getting old but I don't care for the cold at all!:) Bentley loved it so I would do it again for him!

He made a lot of snow angels. One right after the other and he would get up so carefully not to smudge the snow.

The finished project!

Family night at Bear Creek Bowling Alley! We haven't hung out with just the 3 of us in a long time so we went bowling! Bentley loved it. He kept stealing our turns. Ben and I would go up to bowl and he would run up behind us and throw the ball and just laugh.

He was so proud. After every turn he would say "I did it!"

The Zoo in January.

We had a nice day a couple weeks ago so Desiree and I went to the Zoo!

Bentley was looking and talking to a parrot here.

Then we saw a snake, but Bentley wanted nothing to do with it. I'm fine with that, I'd rather him not play with snakes and other creatures. I let him try but he didn't want too!

Anna was so brave. She looks nervous but she did touch the snake!

We love the giraffe's!

This is Desiree and Addison. I'm so glad to have made friend's with her. Her family has become like family to us!

~7 Years of Happiness~

Today is our 7th Anniversary! We've been together for 9 years! Happy Anniversary Sweetie and I love you very much! Thanks for taking care of Bentley and I and for being the best Daddy! Sorry you had to work today. Hopefully this Fall your schedule will be less crazy. XOXO

~Our "Happy New Year" 2011~

We had a very quiet New Years celebration. Little Bentley was so sick with the flu. He could barely even stand. Ben also had to work that night. Before Bentley went to bed and before Ben left to work we blew our whistles. So pathetic were we.:( This year I hope to exercise more, have more patience, read many more books, have a baby:), start school to eventually become a teacher, plan more outings with our family, and just live life to the very fullest! Yeah for 2011!

~Christmas Day~

How many shots does it take for 3 little ones? Diego is running and Bentley is cold.

Now Maddox is running and being silly.

Maddox is still being silly and Bentley is still cold, good job Diego!

Yeah we got one! If we didn't have Oma there holding the little ones down we would not have gotten this! Love it they are keepers!

Then they went to bang on Santa's belly.

Sadly this will probably be their last Christmas together for a while. We're a little spread out!

While we were gone Santa had come! Bentley got Boris and Buddy from Santa and a few other things. We had a week long adventure filled week. It was a great Christmas and I thank our families for that! Like I said last year we should be spending it with Ben next year!

~Christmas Eve~

Uncle Lance bought Brock, Brody and Bentley matching pj's. They reminded him of when He, Ben, and Jimmy were that big! They have NFL football helmets all over them. So cute.

Grandma loves her Grand kids!

Miss Berlyn always so happy, but she is getting feisty! Love her to death!

They opened some presents on Christmas Eve. The ones from family, not Santa of course!

Doug bought all of his boys matching watches in different colors. He mailed a package to Ben so he could open at the same time! They are gorgeous!

Debbi and I. Debbi is the greatest she made me the most gorgeous necklace and scarf for my Bday. Love her!

Connie and Lance

Christmas morning Bentley (Mr. Attitude)was the first up and wanted to open every ones presents!

Now its his turn!

~Some things we did in UT~

Saw Ava !

Met beautiful baby Sienna Grace!

Went to Chili's for lunch with Diego, Maddox, Oma, Uncle Mike and Aunt Heidi.He did not want me to take this picture. For 14 months Diego has some attitude! I love it! It makes me want to love on him more! I would say "Diego beso beso, he would say NO!" and turn his head. He actually did kiss me willingly but I must have asked too much!

Maddox and Bentley. Maddox is definitely the instigator. He was all over. Heidi caught Bentley with the menu's and he said it was Maddox's idea. It probably really was!

Sweet little boys! They all wanted this bus too! Maddox he would say MINE! Can you say 2? He is so normal!

So so tired! We kept them going and going. Oh the poochy lips. Good times with the cousins they love each other so much! Glad we all have boys, they are the best!

Going on the Big Airplane for Christmas!

Bentley has been on many plane rides, but this is the first one since he turned 2. He really knows whats going on. He realizes we're flying in the clouds, he knew what the take off and landing was. He was so cute. When we took off there was a lot of turbulence and he said to me "Mom, hold my hand." I held it almost the whole flight! He was so good during the flight. He sat still the whole time and just watched. He has the best attention span. When we landed the man next to me said he couldn't believe how good he was. He's the best and smartest 3 year old I know! Of course any Mom would say that! Fun times flying.
