Aren't we cute girls?

The whole family.

The six of us originals.

Four beautiful siblings!:)

The outlaws.... Mom thought that was a cute idea! These were taken a while ago and were taken on a tripod by me! More than half the shoot I didn't even have my flash on oh well live and learn! May I add no editing has been done these are the originals so before any printing I'll have to do some cropping snd stuff!

"Ducks"

As any 2 yr old Bentley loves the ducks! We go to the bread factory and buy really cheap bread. Then of course we come to feed them. The ducks love us!

He throws one he eats one. He eats almost as much as the ducks get! Yeah the bread kind've has a stale taste to it ( yes i tasted it, I was thinking it was like really good because he kept on eating it)but no not good, soft but stale.

His other favorite part is chasing the ducks. He loves it! I just get nervous when he runs down the hill I would hate for him to fall in. Yuck..

Our hour with the ducks is great I enjoy it and Bentley does too. I need to stay up on my blogging. It just hasn't been a priority, but for everyone that doesn't get to see us everyday I know its important to them and to keep a little journal.

~Massage Envy~

I came home last night and Bentley got me a surprise! A 1 hour massage. Wow I've actually never had one. Bentley has been being such a typical 2 year old lately that his Dad thought I deserved a massage. Thanks sweetie! So much for it being Father's Day weekend!

Just like his Mom...loves make-up!

This is Bentley's typical face. I'm loving the frowns.

Make-up and Transformers pj's good mix!

So today at Target he had a MAJOR tantrum. I've never ever had to leave my items in the middle of an isle and storm out but today was the day. He wanted to walk very very far from me playing with a ball and throw it everywhere. He refused to sit in the cart or stay by me. So we left the store with him screaming bloody murder! Wow there is always something new! I guess he did save me a few bucks!

Bentley's Baking Lessons

So I decided to have Bentley help me make snickerdoodles. I pre- measured everything so he could just pour and he did love it. He especially liked to make the kitchen aid turn on. I had to unplug when I needed to turn it off because he would just turn it back on.

Munchin' on craizins while baking good multi tasker.

He even did the dishes when we were done, well played with the dishes. Sorry I didn't take pic's of the finished project. The dough had to chill for an hour. They turned out yummy. Nothing like homemade cookies!

Wow I didn't realize how long his hair is. I just got it trimmed. Looks like I need to take a little bit more off ( if Dad will let us)!

Happy Birthday Dad!

This picture shows your personality perfect.

"Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Dad, happy birthday to you!" We love you!

HaPpY 2nd BiRtHdAy BeNtLeY!

My little munchkin butt is now 2 yrs old! He is such a sweetheart and is so smart but as you can see tantrums are not a new thing. Love it though!

We're taking him to dinner and then we'll do cake with the 3 of us! Happy Birthday Bentley!

......My Little Red Car......

Yesterday Daddy brought home an early birthday present for Bentley. Bentley couldn't wait for him to put it together.

Soooo sad we had to pull him out to finish putting it together and he did not like that at all. Next time we'll put it together first.

He seriously has the saddest face ever when he cries.

All better! We finished and he loves it!

I have to say it was the best lighting last night. Thanks Little Tikes for making such a hit of a toy!

Bentley's Almost 2 Year BiRtHdAy!

While we were in SD Aunt Holly had a birthday present for Bentley. As you can tell by his face he loved it!

His favorite a ball!

More presents...

swim trunks!

And a shirt!

Thanks Aunt Holly that was so thoughtful of you!! I have not been blogging lately so I thought since his B-Day is coming these pic's are the perfect pic's to pick up on. I will stop being so lazy and will make time for this.

I sure do LOVE him.......

Cheese!

Its a Brand New Day!

Yesterday I was talking to Heidi and I was telling her all of my frustrations about motherhood. I've just been overwhelmed with my busy body of a child. My main concern was getting ready in the morning. It seems almost impossible to shower, apply make-up, dry my hair and then yes fix my hair. He'll only watch a show for so long and then he's right in the bathroom with me reaking havoc. So getting ready takes 10 times longer. So here were my choices just don't get ready, get ready like I've been doing and give myself anxiety, or get up at 6:30 am and get all ready before he's even up. So that's what I did. I went to bed by 10:30 last night got up at 6:30, got ready down to my shoes, made the bed and was totally ready for the day by 7:20. Bentley woke up by 7:30 perfect timing. Its 9:30 and we've had breakfast, done the dishes, and Bentley's running around outside while I'm writing this blog. Yes I'm outside and its sunny I can hear the birds all around and I couldn't have had a better morning. Another good part if someone rings my doorbell, I don't have to hide because I'm in my robe. Well I'm going to get going now and put on some laundry because a load a day keeps chaos away! Hope you all are having a wonderful day, here's to new habits.

The New Kid on the Block~ Corbin Scott 3-09-09

Isn't he a doll? My really close friend Elisa finally had her little boy! Congratulations!

He weighed in at 7lbs 1oz and 20 inches long. Totally perfect and healthy!

Mommy Elisa is feeling good and her Mom is in town for a couple of weeks to help. She will be so helpful for her.

Elisa let me know if I can help with anything!

A Very Berry Lipstick Smoothie

I love to feed Bentley healthy and I try all the time to make sure he's getting all the nutrition he needs.

He's a very good sport at eating pretty much anything I make for him. This morning I made a yummy berry smoothie that he loved.

A Very Berry Smoothie Recipe:

• 1 Cup Mixed Berries ( I buy the big bag of Rader Farms 3 berry mix at Costco).
• 1/2 Cup Plain or Vanilla yogurt, try to stay away from added sugar and corn syrup. Check the ingredients! Dannon Light and Fit Vanilla is really good. Or Dannon Natural Plain Yogurt is good with a little Xylitol (a sweetner that prevents cavities). You can find it at your health food stores.
• 1Cup 100% Orange Juice.
• 1 Banana. I only had half a banana today and it still tasted great.
• 2T Ground Flax Seed. The key word is ground!
• Blend and Enjoy!
