We just moved into our new place a week ago and we love it! We love the location, we love the neighborhood, and we love the added space from our last home. Our kitchen, living room area is great! We can finally have more than 3 people over without feeling crowded.
This is Bentley's room until the new baby comes.
This will be Bentley's new room. I love this bed, I don't see Bentley in it for a long time, it would over take her.
My whole family went to the good old pumpkin patch. Bentley was more interested in climbing up on the bales, and when we gave her a pumpkin to hold she would just throw it. Stinker!
She has never done this, but after a long morning of playing and snacking she zonked out in her chair. It was the most precious thing.
This is our little monkey girl. She is so into climbing on everything right now and can basically get up on anything. But what she really likes is playing with the steering wheel every chance she gets ( while not driving of course).
I love getting these two girls together. I HATE that Annie and Ladd don't live here! Elle and Bentley have so much fun together.
I love this picture of Elle!

Rock climbing with Kell and Greg. Jeff is so afraid of heights but he does really good rock climbing.
I forgot to rotate this picture but this is how we contained Bentley on the rocky mountain. It only worked for a little while.
Kellie and Greg's babies, Bo and Lee. Bentley thought is was so much fun sitting on them.
I swear I will post some new stuff soon. We have been busy TRYing to sell our townhome and now busy moving. I havent given up on my blog yet. So to my blog lookers just be patient, check back soon!
Bentley is 17 months and has finally decided to start walking! It is the cutest thing to see her put her arms straight up in the air to keep her balance. I am so thankful that my little 2 1/2 pounder is developing so perfectly! She makes us so happy!
My dad's side of the family does a camping on the beach vacation every year, and this year we decided to camp at Bear Lake. It was fun, the weather was a little over cast, but good for the most part. We boated, ate, lounged, and slept. Oh, and Tami and I swear we saw the Bear Lake Monster... I never really believed in it growing up even when Rich Barton always tried to scare me, but there was definitely something lurking at the surface and it was big and long!
Bentley was a good little camper, she sure loved those chairs.
I just spent a week in LA with Jeff's family. We spent a couple days at his sister Nicole's house, then the rest of the week at her beach house in Newport. Bentley was a little tuckered out on the beach. Sad to say that this is the only picture I got of her or anyone at the beach. What was I thinking?
I just had to take a picture of Nicole's backyard, it is amazing. Actually the whole estate is, they re-did everything when they bought it, the house, the guest house, the yard and pool. It was like staying at a resort. These pitures don't really do it justice though.
Marianne had me, Annie, Kellie, Katie and Kacey all come stay at her parents house in St. George. I think it was one of my favorite trips. What could be better than hanging out with all of your very best friends for a weekend of great laughs, relaxing pool time and good food! Our kids were all on a great schedule, it couldn't of been a better weekend!
Thanks Sis! We have to do this annually! The picture above is of Kell in the middle of Bentley and Elle.
Elle, Jack and Bentley washing up after a long day of playing!
This is so bad but Annie and I gave Elle and Bentley suckers on the way home from St. George because they were both screaming in the back, and guess what? It works like a charm. I haven't made it a habbit, but every now and then when I just can't take the crying and screaming I give in. Although I don't usually give her suckers this big. There's noth'n like sugar soothing the soul!
Jack thinks he is the gate keeper and Bentley just followed.
We got such a kick out of the three babes with their little hand towels wrapped around their tiny bods! I love it!
She didn't quite like the pool as much as Jack and Elle but she still had fun! I am really sad I didn't get a picture of all of us girls or Katie's little Lukers, whom by the way was the easiest going baby.
What the cutest pair! Happy Fathers Day to my husband and all the other Fathers out there! Jeff is an amazing dad, but all of you who know Jeff already knew that. He has always been such great help, always willing to change a poopie diaper (well... we always have to play rock, paper, scissor to see who has to change it, but he always looses!) Bentley loves to play with her dad, he is so much fun with her! We love you Jeffrey!
Always having fun!
Jeff's sister put together the sponsership for the Tim and Faith tour, so lucky us, (Jo, Lori, Matt and I) got to go to a private pre-show show. There Tim was right in front of me singing... he grabbed my hand and I told him I liked his "faith" tatoo, he laughed and said thanks! I had to keep Jo from not grabbing his butt when he stood up , she could have because we were that close, but she refrained herself. And Faith was on the other side of the stage but who cares about her when you have Tim McGraw looking right at you! This pre-show was really cool because you get to interact with the singers. Usally there are meet and greets where you stand in line and wait to get a picture with the artist and then immediatly turn around and leave the room. It's cool but this was more fun. After that I didn't care where we sat in the arena because we got to see then up close and personal. But as always Jeff came through and we happend to have the best seats in the house! We had a blast!

Jeff is building his first house right now. He has been working really hard lately being in school, working, and building his first spec home. It's so cool seeing the house come together and see how talented my husband is. Congrats babe!
is fun but it's a little harder than the rock climbing gym's, that's why I call it "real climbing". Kell and Greg took us up a couple weeks ago, they make it look so easy but I imediately found that it wasn't easy at all. Jeff did pretty good, he almost got to the top but poor little Jeffrey is afraid of heights, he was getting a little shakey up there and had to come down.
This is me starting the climb, Kell had to help boost me up cause I'm not a pro like her!
And this is me falling like a fool.
Once Jeff got going he did awsome!
The two hansome devils.
