Bye Summer

Well summer has come and gone. Fall softball, wetsuit wakeboarding, and hunting are in full swing. Cassidy was just called as eqp, so my sunday's just became a bit more hectic. Dreydn is in to EVERYTHING. I literally have to watch him every second of the day. Last Sunday, Cassidy went to the bathroom really quick, he left Dreydn in the gym because I was in there. I did not know he was in there so I wasn't watching. 2 minutes later, cassidy comes back from the bathroom and asks me "have you seen Dreyd?" we ran out the door to find him in the hall with the nursery leader. Someone had found him outside and brought him back inside. That baby is a runaway! He's ran away at home too. twice I have found him in the backyard alone. never did i have to worry about stuff like this with Bentley! he takes curiosity to the next level!

Bentley is getting smarter by the minute. All her little friends are busy starting pre-k and poor bentley is still stuck at home with mom. Preschool is so dang pricey here! So we have been working on her letters and numbers for the last 2 weeks. She's got A-L mastered! She can write her name too! Yesterday we went to Dollar Tree and she picked out some beads to make a necklace. I went to check on her as she was beading and she had picked out all of the letters to her name and strung them on the yarn. I couldn't believe it. She only had the L and the T in the wrong order. My girl is growing up too fast! She is still really in to dinosaurs, sea animals, and coloring. On sunday, while i napped, bentley filled an entire legal pad of paper with all sorts of drawings. I was amazed at how detailed her animals were!


Both kids are obsessed with "Mr Chomp"; a shark car I found at Target that sings and dances. I originally bought it for Bentley for her birthday but ended up giving it to her early. Last night we had to go back to Target and buy a 2nd Mr Chomp so Dreyd could have his own. Bentley is so excited she doesn't have to share him anymore!

Well, cheers to another day of motherhood!

Because I haven't blogged in over a year..

Wow. Its been a while! Amazing how busy life gets.

Our sweet boy, Dreydn is now 13 months. He is the same size as bentley was when she was 2. I guess you can say he is a brute! He just started walking, doesn't say much, he says cheeeeese for the camera and deeeeeees for his dog, LOVES dees, loves his sister, eats anything and everything, is the fastest crawler, loves music and dancing, loves his blanket, will not sit and watch tv, always on the move, very curious and will get into everything, likes to put toys in toilets, loves climbing up furniture, hates naps, loves the trampoline, and we have produced yet another screamer. 

Bentley is 3 and a half. She is so smart. She is the queen story teller and talks our ears off. She loves dolphins, dinosaurs, whales, dogs, kittys, playing on the ipad, jumping on the trampoline, watching her fish and crab swim in their tanks, going to petco, drawing pictures, reading books, talking on the phone, eating fruit snacks, playing with her dog, she is super obedient and will not break a rule, she loves going fishing, doing anything outside, her dad is her best friend, she doesnt eat food, she actually claims to hate eating. She is so sassy and is always right, of course. She still isn't crazy about her brother..she actually asks me on the daily if he can move back to the hospital. 

We finally made the plunge and moved out of our "little house" as bentley called it. We needed some more space and we needed a place where we wouldn't have to worry about our kids getting ran over. We moved about 4 miles north of our old house. We couldn't be happier. The "new" house was built in 1979 so we have been keeping busy with updating. The kitchen was first on our list and thankfully that is now complete! Next up, operation walk in closet in the master. 

Summer has us busy with work, softball, wakeboarding, and our yard. 1.5 acre of lawn has cassidy nice and busy. happy summer everyone!!
