Bentley knows baby brother is coming soon........

I have been having so much fun with Bentley the last two weeks. Even though he has been sick recently he is my little angel. As I have been preparing for a new baby, Bentley has been definitely noticing changes going on. Whenever I sigh or say that I am tired he looks at me with his big blue eyes and says, " Momma baby brother moving around in tummy" and I reply, " Yes! He is moving a lot" and Bentley says," I don't want him to hurt you Momma". I thought that was the cutest thing ever. He has also been very fun to play with. We have made interesting things with play doh and he loves when we run around the house pretending to be animals ( funny to see me running around as an animal I know). He has also been into playing with mommy and wants to know what we are going to do everyday. All I can say is Bentley has been more into me than ever before. I think this is because he senses baby brother is coming in the next eight weeks! It kind of makes me a little sad because I love having him all to myself each day. Bentley will always be my baby and I am excited to have another boy, but I will miss our time we share of just the two of us.

Christmas...Birthdays... and a New Year

Halloween

Halloween was so fun this year. We had trunk-or-treat at my parents ward and for Halloween we had my family over for some pizza and did some trick-or-treating in the neighborhood. Bentley had a fun time trick or treating with his cousins and friends. We finished off the night with a ride home in Papa's truck and s'mores in the backyard!
