tag about me...

well i never participate in tags because i don't want to take the time to type it all out, but since i have all the time in the world right now i thought i would do anika's tag.

1o years ago... i was a sophmore at brighton high. i was still a little gangly and awkward but loving the high school scene!


5 things on my to do list today... don't even ask... i am going a little crazy not being able to do anything! but my to do list is adding up quickly. although i must say thanks to my mom for taking care of the top 5 things on my list yesterday. she cleaned all my bathrooms, swept my floors, did all my laundry, and ran a couple errands for me. thanks for the help mom!

snacks i enjoy... pretty much anything candy. my favorites are haribo gummy bears, strawberry twizzlers, and lately gum balls.

what i would do if were suddenly a billionaire... i would pay off my houses and my cars first. then i would have fun spending a little money on myself and all my family and friends.

5 bad habits... bitting my nails (jeff's biggest pet peeve), nagging jeff to clean up, a little overboard on cleanliness of my house and tami's, reminding people how to take care of my child, keeping secrets.

5 jobs i have had... tanning salon, dental office, nanny in new york, marketing assistant on the justin timberlake and christina aguilera tour, hair stylist.

5 things people don't know about me... well i don't really have much people don't know about me. i'm pretty much an open book. but here are a few interesting things. i sucked my fingers until i was like 5 or 6, i still sleep with my baby blanket, i have never broken a bone, i have no talents other than doing hair, i have 20/20 vision.

i tag anyone that dares to do it.

the princess has a new do!

Princess B wakes up with some crazy hair... so we think that we found a style that will work for her. Its a cross between Heidi and cindylouhoo! we all think its a look fit for a princess!

Diana, you can count on the fact that Princess B is clean... bathtime entertains her a least twice a day... luckily there's not a water shortage.

a who on the loose

Attention! We have found the "who" that escaped "whoville"

Fruit Loops

Fruit Loops taste good in a bowl...
but you have to try them off the floor to really enjoy them. But watch out for four legged critters ~ they are under the impression that you put them there for their enjoyment.
Silly Dogs!

Princess B and her dear friend Ella

Princess B is a joy to have around. She is so willing to share and never fights with her new friend Ella.

Princess B has a big day out

Today Princess B started her day with Alvin and the Chipmunks, her first movie. She really enjoyed sitting on the steps and touching all the aisle lights in the theatre. We then moved on to Amazing Jakes (an indoor arcade).
She was a cheap date because all the games were way more exciting without tokens added. Queen Diana is going to have to think of some great outings because as soon as the Princess wakes up she wants to be out the door. Good Luck!

JEFF GREW UP WITH ALL SISTERS...

THATS WHY HE THROWS A BALL LIKE A GIRL.

Jeff missed Princess B. So he flew to Az for a day...and then left without her ... He must not have missed her THAT much. He spent a day at the FBR Open and NFL Experience. Princess B still loves her Lady in Waiting (aunt jenny) best.

Diana you can add your own comments...I don't dare

jenny your hilarious! i am 31 weeks here. i had to stand up for a picture because i never got this big with bentley.

so grateful....

i just got a laptop today thanks to my good friend jaynann. and man... can i say how thankful i am for it. i can kill so many hours in this dang hospital bed by surfing blogs, window shopping, and just having something else to do other than crochet, watch movies, and read.

i have to say though, i am so grateful for all my family and friends at this time. thank you to everyone for all your prayers and visits and treats and movies and everything. no one could get through hospital bed rest with out good support around them! so thank you.

just to update everyone. i am still in the hospital... just about 2 weeks here now. well.. let me tell you it's not very much fun. this friday i will be 32 weeks and they are saying most likely i can home on strict bed rest and on meds. yeah... i am trying to get to my my goal of 34 or 35 weeks. thinking about being here in the hospital for 3 or 4 more weeks makes me crazy. at home i think the time will go faster. i hope. for some mysterious reason my body doesn't like being pregnant past 29 weeks. so we are reaching for goals and taking it one day at time. jeff and i would really like to not go through the NICU rollercoaster again.

and i would like to say thank you to jeff's sis jenny (she has to be the prettiest, smartest, funniest and did i mention prettiest of the willardson sisters!) for flying here to pick bentley up and flying her back to arizona. jenny you really have been treating her royally. i love it! i am sure it is fun to have a little girl in the mix of 3 boys. just don't send her home with too many habits to break! like drinking from the milk carton and drinking the sick nasty gutter water...
keep taking good care of my bents. i miss her more than she will ever know!

thanks jen! keep up the great blogging!

"Princess B is brilliant."
She knows that Gilbert water tastes the same
wether it comes out of the tap or out of the gutter.
We are thinking of doing away with the royal sippy cup.

Lucky for Aunt Jenny that she found the puddle after church ended.

While Queen Di spends her days laying in bed (with her very own blankie) and eating bon bons Princess B is busy getting pretty for the day and eating a royal breakfast high upon the counter with her prince. I have since been told that being on top of counters is forbidden in the land Queen Di reigns over.

Princess B has found her Prince. She really enjoys sharing her bed with sir kasey. She finds that he will fight off all the monsters of the night and he only snores a little
(it's like her own human sound machine)

milk tastes best from the bottle

Princess B has learned that milk tastes the best straight out of the fridge
...no need to dirty a cup. Being around all these boys is rubbing off!

Things we have learned about Princess B!

After spending a few days with "Princess B" we have learned that she sure HATES BATHS!
She'll sleep a full 12 hours in a BIG GIRL bed.
She loves Lean Pocket Pizza Sticks.
Orange Tic Tacs will keep her quiet through church...but she swallows them WHOLE.
She'll actually sit through an entire sacrament meeting (sorry Jeff, No more excuses)
She treats all dogs like her dad does - notice the treatment in the above photo.
She loves to try on shoes...all shoe stores should be on notice because she will pull each pair out of the box.
She DOES NOT like getting KISSES from the stinky stott boys.
and finally, don't dare try and share her blanket, she'll turn a fierce color of purple.
I'm sure there will be many more enlighting experiences to come:)

Princess B's Saturday

For those friends and family of Jeff And Di who don't already know... Diana is on bed rest. So lucky little Bentley (who shall know be called...Princess B) is staying with her cousins in Arizona. {Jenny got ahold of dianas password and is now in control of what you are viewing.}
She'll be keeping Jeff and Di up on the days of Princess B while she is visiting sunny Az. As you can tell the days are sunny and filled with plenty to do. Most of Princess B's days are seen from the hip of her Aunt. Hopefully you'll all enjoy these little pics.

I know that Jeff loves dogs so much, that he might really appreciate this on your blog

Diana, We went a little crazy on the bows. She's such a good sport letting me play dress-up with her. I'll add more when I get some good photos. We love you...stay on your side and take care of yourself. Jenny

Naughty Naughty Girl

This little monkey climbs on EVERYTHING! Finally she figured out how to climb out of her crib. The first try was a big crash landing followed by some tears. We thought since she got a little hurt that she wouldn't attempt it again but oh no, she is determined. She kept trying every time my mom would stick her back in bed. So now she has to be caged. The crib tent is the best invention ever! She hated it the first day but now knows she lost this battle.


First off, I love when she gets into my uggs. She loves them and they drowned her. But what I don't love is that she has discovered that if she pulls all the slats out of the blinds she can watch people out front. She makes the biggest mess and it is not very fun putting them all back in. She does it pretty much every day.

I sure do love that little face!

Christmas Pics

Bentley's Christmas dress. She wouldn't hold still for a good pretty picture.

Jeff's sister Jenny sent Bentley and I matching pj's. I looked a little goofy in mine, but they were very cozy. Thanks Jenn.

I was happy that she liked her presents. I thought she wouldn't really care. She actually liked this box better than the doll inside.

All the kids in their pj's on Christmas Eve.

The set up. Thanks Jeff for making the Christmas Eve set up fun!

I don't remember why she was crying but I love this picture!

New Year.

We had a fabulous holiday this year. Spending time with family and friends made the season fun. Christmas Eve we of course had a big Bob's dinner at Tami's. Then we did our little family exchanges and pajama presents, then it off to bed so Santa (Jeff) could arrange all the presents and display them so perfectly. He made big name tags and all. We love how much he gets into the set up, it is a big deal to him. Most all of the Weeks clan slept over at the Morgan's. It is a little chaotic but so much fun. Christmas day of course Jeff and Dave took off to the slopes, while the rest of us rested. It was a fun Christmas for all of us.

New Years crept up fast. Jeff and I invited my my parents, Jo and Ryan and Matt over for New Year's Eve. We also had the delight to have Jeff's mom Sandy come into town for the New Year. She is so much fun to have. We just played and shopped.
For New Year's Eve we had huge king crap legs, and one of my dad's soups, and of course the typical cheeses and bread that all my dad's meals include. We really had the extravagant meal. It was great, I had been craving crab legs for so long. It was the perfect occasion. It was pretty low key, we just talked, played some games, and watched a weird movie. We all had a great time.

Happy New Year to everyone. May this year bring happiness and success to everyone. We are excited for a fresh new year. We will be adding another little girl to family, building some new buisnesses, and making fun memories.

For some reason I forgot I had a camera through the holidays and pretty much got no pictures of anything. I will post some of the ones my family got as soon as they send them to me.

Hang'n Out

Bentley LOVES to eat her snacks at her own little table. It is so fun watching the two cousins play together.

Mel and I kept asking Alex and Bentley to hug each other. They wouldn't do it very long so it was hard to get it on camera, but how cute is that!


As you can see my child would rather be monkey'n around than smile for the camera.

Story time with Auntie Mel.
This is Bent's buddy Hugh. Just hanging out!

Christmas Play date

This year instead of exchanging presents with all my girlfriends we decided to have the kids exchange. Annie and Elle are in town for Christmas so we all got together at my house for a little play date! From the left it's Elle Egan, Bentley, Kacey borrowed her cousins little boy Asher to bring, and Ezra Park.


Just decorating some Christmas cookies. Except all the kids were more interested in licking all the frosting off the cookies and spoons!

Cute little Ez was the cleanest kid, he made no mess with his bagels and cookies!

Ripping all the presents open was more fun than I thought they would have.

Ezra's present was a hit to all the kids, they were all fighting over his bath time painting supplies. Some brushes got ruined in the process.


And of course the cheap Ikea tent was also the biggest hit for all the kids to play in. Who knew a tent could be so fun?

Just like her Daddy...

..she LOVES the snow! She was out sledding in our backyard with everyone for quite a while. Finally Jeff made her come inside because her cheeks and nose were bright red.



Poor baby girl loved it until the snow sprayed her face. As soon as we wiped it off she was ready to do it again.

Bentley and cousin Liv.

Still playing with cousins and loving it!
