am i crazy?

jeff just picked this new bike up the other day and he is obsessed! he is so sick of spending $125.00 every 3 or 4 days on gas for his truck, this bike cost him 5 bucks to fill up his tank for every 120 miles. a bargain right? well i know he got the bike for free, a trade, which is awsome but i can't decide if i am crazy for letting him commute on this. am i? we did go for ride the other night to wal-mart and it was totally fun! i feel good about it when we go out together for rides but not when he is out all day commuting. what do i do?

Willardson/Willardsen Wedding.

Jeff's sister Patty got married this last weekend in California. She was the most beautiful bride ever! This was right after I got done doing her hair and she was ready to walk down the aisle. How weird is it that Patty just has to change the spelling of her last name! I love it.



Bentley the stink would not let me get a good picture that night. So I shot one from behind. She was the sweetest flower girl!

The wedding and reception was held in Jeff's oldest sister Nicole's backyard. It was absolutely beautiful. Sandy did an awsome job planning it.


Ok I feel really bad that I didn't get a good picture of Jared. They are so cute together.

From left to right is Nicole, Patty, Jenny, and Jeff. The Willardson children.

This is Patty and Jared with Jared's little boy Hawk and brother Joe.

Daddy daughter dance.

This is kind of funny. The cake was never delivered so at the last minute Nicole and Joe ordered everyone Penguin frozen yogurt. It was a hit!

This is me with my most beautiful and hilarious niece Kinley. Seriously she is probably the funniest 15 year old I have ever met!

Bent and Jeff

Winnaman Resort

This last weekend we went to California for Jeff's sister Patty's wedding. The weather was fab and his sister's place is even for fab!

Bentley was loving playing in the pool with her dad. She was obsessed with the slide.

This is Nicole's house. I took the picture from the guest cottage porch.

This is where we stay when we visit. It the cutest little shabby chic cottage guest house.

Jeff took this picture because he wishes he had a putting green at home. He would be outside all day perfecting his shot. It was such a fun stay, plenty to do all day long. Bentley was in her glory playing with nanna, aunties, and cousins. She loved the attention!

my little reesers...

3 months now and eww we love her!

I couldn't resist posting this for all to enjoy :)

little cuzies.

so my sister mel put the babies in the toy strollers today and it was the cutest dang thing ever. they just sat there and posed. of course we hurry and did it while bentley and alex were out of the room, because you know for sure they would think it was cool and want to try it. real babies are more fun to push around! and just look at little reesers face in the bottom picture, oh my goodness!

random but oh so cute.

i love love them. they were both wearing green the other day (not on purpose) and i had to take a picture!

memorial weekend

This is my sister Tami's cute family. They all went on a hike and Jeff got this family photo shot at the top. They are all so cute I can't stand it.

shadow...

So we went on a walk the other night and my cute Bent discovered her shadow. It was the cutest dang thing. She was chasing it and trying to figure out what it was. It was like a game to her as she laughed and tried to jump on it. I just love her so much. She has this infectious smile and laugh that gets me every time. The past few weeks have been so wonderful with her. She has stopped attacking Reese and has become quite the helper. Every time Reese cries she is the first one there giving her her binky. In the morning when I bring Bentley down stairs she immediately looks around the room for her. I think she finally loves her little sister. She is just getting so smart, she makes us laugh at the things she figures out. Still not talking, but one day hopefully soon she will get it! I can't get enough of her these days!

And my beautiful baby Reese. I can't get enough of her as well. She has grown so much already. I love that she smiles back at us now. The things she loves already is t.v. and herself in the mirror. Things Bentley never cared about. It is so much fun seeing her personality already, oh we love her. And I love her especially because she looks identical to my baby pictures. Bentley is all Jeff and Reese is all me and I love it!
This Mother's Day I am so grateful to be a mom to these wonderful, beautiful little girls. I hope I can raise them to live a wonderful happy life!

mother's day delivery

Aren't my two little girls the best! They sent me these gorgeous flowers today. It was a lovely surprise delivery!

blessing day

We just blessed Reese on Sunday and it went really well. She pretty much just slept all day, we were lucky to not have a screaming baby during the blessing.

This is the only picture we got of Bentley, she was being a stinker.


Jeff's mom Sandy flew in from California, it is always so good to have her here!

Here is my mom with Reese and my dad with her below.


My dad loves his babies! He is holding Reese on the left and Mel's baby Samantha on the right. So cute.

first date.

Sad to say but this is the only picture I got while visiting the Egan's in Missouri. My camera died. But isn't this just precious? Ike and Reese were having tender moments. Luckily I got it before Reese started crying. Ike is the easiest baby, never ever cries. Lucky Annie!

liv's birthday party

As you can see Bent had a grand old time eating cupcakes and playing on the blow up slide. I think everyone had a blast, it was a great idea!

back to the bottle

We were done with the bottle but some how she coaxed us into giving it back. I think it has to do with needing some special comfort since Reese has arrived. Oh well I say... what's it going to hurt?

The Kirklands New Addition

My sister Mel had her baby on Sunday morning at 6am. Little Samantha Kate.

She has blonde hair! Who would of ever guessed they would have a blonde haired baby? It might be strawberry, we can't tell yet. She has the same eyes as Alex but other than that we can't tell who she looks like.

Holding her sis for the first time.

5 weeks apart. Reese seemed so big all the sudden, not so newborn. Best cousins all ready!

Bryn holding Reese. She will be the best babysitter.

These two girls love their cousin Parker and he LOVES them!
