He is the cutest little guy ever!!!!!!
He can hardly wait for Christmas!
Look at my teethe!
No, no Bentley! No peeking in the presents! He totally ripped part of it. He just loves the paper!

Ben's Early Christmas Present!

So on Thurs. it was totally a blizzard outside. So Santa decided to bring Ben his suprise early. It sure came in handy!
After 4 yrs. of shoveling he finally got one! Much more efficient!!!
Brando now you can come snowblow!!!!

Mom and I Volunteering:)

Mom and I went with one of Mom's clients to the YCC and we filled bags of food for needy families.
This was only some of the bags that we filled. I know they will enjoy this warm meal!:)

I have been tagged by Kristen!

Here are 6 Interesting Facts about Me:

1. My thumbs are double- jointed. They actually bend back flat. Really kind of weird.

2. I love reality tv shows and Hollywood gossip alot! Did you all here that the Hills is going to go another season? Oh yeah!

3. I pump about 5 times a day so Bentley can have the good's and to save MOOOLA( money)! TMI?

4. I really don't like to shop! Especially when you have to dig through things. Or when you have to try things on! Except now that I haven't been working I do love to go look. I guess Bentley and I like to get out of the house.

5. I talk in my sleep. I don't think its happened in a while, but when I was a kid I would talk and walk. No walking in a long time but Ben's says I sure jabber some nights.

6. I love to bake! I make the best "Melt in your Mouth" sugar cookies! Thanks to The Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. Its the MUST HAVE cookbook!!!

Well hope you all enjoyed my interesting facts! I'm going to tag: Heidi, Irene, Misty, Mom,& Jen(has Jen done it?).

Which Desperate Housewives Character Are You?
	You are Bree. You are caring and idealistic, but your hard work often borders on obsessiveness, and you can seem uptight and prudish to others.

I don't know about that, but okay!

What City Should You Live In?
	You should live in Paris. The city of lights will appeal to your appreciation of beauty and romance. You are a lover and a poet by nature, and Paris' sensitive charms will be a perfect match for yours.

~My B-Day Dinner~

We went to McGrath's Fish House for dinner and then we saw Dan in Real Life. That movie is pretty funny! Mmmm I bet you all would love the crab we ate! Ben was sooo excited for it.
Check out those Alaskan King Crab legs!!!

Happy 24th Birthday to Me!

Tonight my Mom is going to come over and watch Bentley and Ben and I will go to dinner and maybe look at Christmas lights or see a show. Aren't I pretty?
Michael's always been such a nice bro! His kisses were always slobbery though!

This was our kitty snow white. He was my Mom's cat when she was a little girl. He died maybe 15 yrs. ago.

Bentley Walking!

He was so funny last night. He went around and around about 40 times. I decided to video right at the end so I know he was really tired.

HaPpY 7 MoNtHs BeNtLeY!!!

Newborn Bentley.
7 Month Bentley. He's now doubled the size of the bunny. Its amazing how much he's grown. Bentley loves to be tickled( especially if you munch on his belly), he loves a warm bath, he loves to be talked to, he loves you to sing to him( especially Old McDonald), he loves to play with his toys(especially his chicken), he loves to do the army crawl after anything that's not his toys, he loves to taste anything and everything, he loves to pet his two kitties and his doggie, he loves to be outside. He loves so much I could go on and on. I love him more than ever. He's the hardest job ever but the most rewarding! I couldn't ask for more!

**Bentley meeting Santa Clause**

On Sat. night Mom, Naomi, and I took Bentley to see Santa. He wasn't scared one bit. He kept looking at him and playing with his real beard as you can see.
While we were waiting in line we saw Jen and Brandon Gardner and their kid's. We had to get a picture of Cooper(1 yr.), and Bentley(7 months) to show the difference in their size. Cooper kept trying to kiss Bentley.
Big big Boy!
Then after Santa we had to go to the dairy queen for an ice cream cone. Tia Naomi shared with Bentley. Of course he loved it!
Naomi, Bentley and I. Isn't Naomi's new coat so cute? And did you guys see Bentley's Van's? Naomi picked those up for Bentley in Park City. Thank's Naom!

**Christmas Photoshoot**

We had such a fun time getting his pic's taken. He seriously is the cutest! All of them were so cute. Mom got him this little sweater. He looks like a little man! Thanks Oma! The photographer kept telling Ben to come down to his level because Bentley kept looking up at him as you can see. Also he was very distracted by the presents.
I wanted some semi naked looking pic's. He looks like a total baby here! Such a doll! Oh I just love them all! It was a fun shoot and we've got a real cute picture for the Chistmas card ( its a surprise)!

** Its Beginning to look alot like Chritmas**

Well today was the first snow of the year!
Bentley's first time seeing the snow! He has his hat and mittens on. All he needs is his coat and he's ready to play!
Dad feeding him snow. Hopefully it wasn't yellow! Look at his pink nosie.
I had to feed him some too! Brando you want to come and shovel our driveway?:)

Thanksgiving Day

We went over to Ben's parents for Thanksgiving. The food was of course fabulous! Hope everyone enjoyed Thanksgiving as much as we did! Here's a few pic's of BB. Bentley and cousin Kirstie

Bentley with the last of his cousin's ( except Brock and Brody).

Doing Laundry

So how do you carry the laundry basket and the baby upstairs? Give the little Bentley a ride! He thought it was pretty fun to sit in all those warm clothes. Its amazing when your a Mom how many things you can carry at one time!
Just kickin back!
