15 & 16

We have been so busy, 15 & 16 month marks have flown on by..

 went swimming for the 1st time while we were on a weekend trip to denver.. she was scared and just wanted daddy to hold her. is she really my child? scared of the water?

 we went to the zoo! that was the purpose of the trip. bentley is in such an animal lover stage. she had a blast (and so did we) fishies were her favorite for sure..

 she was a little scared with this thing.. im not even sure what it is? a baby dinosaur or something..

 she loved sitting in front of each exhibit.. and walking ALL DAY. she is such a busy body right now..

 back at home, bentleys new favorite thing to do is sit in her car and watch tv..

Its so hard to keep up and watch my baby turn into a real kid. when people say "they grow up too fast" its really true!! i cant believe how much my girl changes everyday! she no longer walks, she runs, everywhere. she loves to color with crayons. she has 2 molars now but still eats everything with her 8 little front teeth like a little chipmonk. she loves her daddy so much. shes such a talker.. she trys to say anything u ask her to say its hilarious. she says "amen" when she wants the prayer to be over (she usually says it a good 3 times before the prayer is actually over) she is my super helper, she does her chores everyday.. she feeds diesel and her pet fish rusty. she sweeps the floor (she has her own baby size broom & dust pan) she dusts anything and she loves spraying frebreeze! she is a crack up. she points out most of her body parts and is learning new words everyday. i think she speaks more spanish than english. whatever works! she loves MELMO (elmo) and dances realllllly hard when his song comes on. she is a major brat and is not happy when she doesnt get her way. she loves bubbles and feeding the ga ga's (ducks) shes a handful but sure does keep us laughing!! Until next time. OLOS (adios) as bentley says it :))

update on us: maxx is no longer a member of our family.. i decided i liked my new carpet more than i liked him. note to self: NEVER EVER EVER will i get a non potty trained puppy again! I am slowly starting to work less.. i now have tuesdays off which is amaayzing. i have a day with just me and my girl! we are busy with church callings and dirt biking any time we have a spare hour or so.. we cant wait for softball season to get here and summer to be in full swing!!
