Seriously? Too die for!

Maybe its because I'm his momma, but he truly is too die for!

He loves the swirly slide. He kept saying "Tawny, you come with me?"

Big boy climbing, I always tell him to be careful! I think its really made him to be more cautious. When I was reaching his balloon from the ceiling (a while ago) I was climbing on the couch to reach it. While I was up there I hear this little voice. " Be careful Mommy!" So sweet, looking out for me.

Jumping, jumping.

I told him to jump and he did. He tries so hard to get just a little air in his jumps. So cute.

It looks like he's dancing. Funny guy!:)

It was such a beautiful day at the park, so needed. Its suppose to rain this weekend, so we'll have to hit the park tomorrow!

Best Little Cousin's

Brody, Bentley, and Brock

On Sunday we went to the Harmston's for dinner. Mmm homemade potato salad and honey baked ham. It was pretty nice out. The boys wanted to go ride bikes and play with sidewalk chalk. They are so cute together and are growing so fast I have to get some little guy pictures of them.

Yesterday we saw Ryan at lunch time. They really are such good friend's too. An hour at lunch wasn't long enough for them. Xoxo

Yeah for Bentley!!!

Look at that face ... So Bentley is totally potty trained! He's actually been going potty on the toilet since Christmas. Mommy has just failed to mention such an easy accomplishment we've had. It seriously was so easy. He just decided he wanted to go and did it! I was worried about the poop part, but within a few weeks done! Have you ever met someone that has to poop at 5:30 in the morning? Well here he is Bentley. Not all of the time, but when he has to go he has to go. Of course I have to give him his privacy he says, " Go away Mom." Love him and love not changing massive poops! Congratulations Bentley!

*50mm Lens*

I neeeeed this seriously! Check it out a RitzCamera.com (Sorry I didn't link it for you .) Photography lovers we need this lens. It focuses right on the subject and makes it blurry in the back round. Can't wait to buy it!

34 Degrees and Sunny!

Big big boy! Rides his bike! We had to get out just for 30 min. He loved it. I should get him a helmet. I'll have to do that.

Did I mention Ben came home?

Yep, he's been home just over a week. Its been a pretty touchy subject but I'm slowly adjusting. He was in the academy for 6 weeks so it has been nice to have him home. He resigned, so he is rehireable! If he ever decided to give it another go. Bentley has loved hanging with Dad though! As for career's in our future....I guess its a surprise!

{Mom Tip}

Bentley loves to play with the PlayDoh, I just hate how it get's all over! So I now put his playdoh stuff on a cookie sheet and tell him to keep it in the pan! It really does catch the mess....Lovely!:)

An Oldie, but Goodie!

I was going through pictures and this is one of my favorites! I love it! Bentley looks so relaxed. Wow he's tiny just over a year old. He loves his Daddy! Today we were going to the bank and he was kind've cranky. This was our conversation...
Me: I love you Bentley!
Bentley: No love you.
Me : I just repeated myself, I love you kiss kiss.
Bentley: I love Ben! (He always calls us by our first names, I hate it!)
Me: Yeah you love Daddy!
Bentley: Yep!

Its been a Week!

A week ago today Ben was leaving for Montana! Yes he was offered a position in Malta, MT for the US Border Patrol. We're excited, but he's focused on making it through the academy. He actually only went to Mt for a couple of days to take the oath and meet his sector leader. The academy is in Artesia, New Mexico. He'll be there for 3 to 4 mo. We then move to Arizona for 8 to 9 months. Then right in time for winter next year we should be in Montana! Its actually awesome that we are moving there. Agents try to transfer, but it can be kind've hard so we're grateful. The southern agents call the northern agents R.O.D.'s (Retired On Duty). New adventures wish us luck!!!!

Bentley had been sleeping, but we had to wake him up so Ben could have a big hug!

The night before he left we had a dinner with friend's and family. We have so much support its awesome! There sure isn't a normal picture with our 2 yr. old!

I tried to have BP colors on the cake. It turned out to be UGLY! (J/K) Its the thought that counts right?

Ben and his bro's. We're just missing his twin Lance in the picture, he had to work.

Can't wait to see him!

Isn't he the cutest? I'm so excited to see my nephew for Thanksgiving ( and Heidi and Brandon), but really excited to see Maddox!

Look at him grow in a year. 2008 Elisa made these costumes too cute Bentley and Ava. He's going to be a monkey this year. It'll be a cold one tonight but he'll really have fun this year!

Pumpkin Patch

We had lot's of fun at this pumpkin patch right close to our house. It was freezing cold but we braved the weather, bundled up and enjoyed a ride from the tractor.

Since its the end of the season the farm sent us home with 5 big punkins(as Bentley would say).

Hmmm? He got that from his Opa.
