dino museum, vegas, palm springs

Heres bentley @ 3 months old. I cant believe its already been 3.5 months.. time sure does fly. she is growing up and getting a real personality. In her 3 months of life she can hold her head up all by herself now, smile & laugh, sleep 10 hours at night in her CRIB in HER room!, drinks about 8 oz every 4 hours, is going bald, hates baths, loves tv more than anything, loves playing patty cake and the wheels on the bus, talks to herself and the tv, loves to be held, knows how to get what she wants (will cry like something is wrong so we pick her up, then starts smiling at us like she knows how to work the system) and screams when she is mad at us. attitude is already bentleys new middle name. she is such a good baby and we love her so much!!

We went to the dino museum a few weekends ago, it was lots of fun, bentley didnt really understand what they were.. but she didnt get scared!!

her head is about the size of an ostrich heart!

this picture cracks me up, our party animal being a party POOPER shopping.

Well we decided to go to palm springs for the weekend for a little family vacation last weekend. We stopped in vegas on our way to palm springs at our favorite tv show set PAWN STARS!!!! it was sooo cool! unfortunatly we didnt get to meet any of the actual pawn stars.. they had already made their apperance for the day :/ but it was still so cool to see all the antiques!

me and bentley waiting in line. cutie in front of us wanted to smile for the cam too..

huge line to get in!

we made "friends" with the lady in front of in line and she practially forced us to take this picture.. she kept asking if she wanted us to take our picture.. literally like 4 times she asked and we finally said ok. we also got hit up for cash in line from a hobo, twice, and the lady behind us was talkin to her boyfriend in her arkansas accent talking bout the peep show they went to the night before and how she hit the tables big! --oh vegas...the possibilities are endless..

THEN we made it to palm springs after a 12 hour drive and i got to see this girl!!!!! i havent seen her since my wedding in 2008!! missed her like crazy!

cheers to march! we cant wait till daylight savings so we can have more sunshine after work!!!!!

happy vday

Happy valentines day everyone! I hope your valentine was as sweet to you as mine was to me! miss bentley is now 12 weeks (last friday) and her new trick is playing the balancing act with her dad!

Picture of the day

my current favorite picture:

bentley is getting quite the personality, she has learned to yell at people including diesel. this was last night while he was bothering her. NO ONE gets in the way of bentleys tv! poor dees, i have a feeling he is going to be very abused by this little child..

11 weeks & a new baby!!

Meet cassidys new baby.. after his old truck got totalled in Novemeber, he finally made up his mind and got himself a new truck! its still in grandpa mode but im sure it wont be long until cass has it lifted to the sky with monster truck rims and tires. we love our new truck.. even though its a chevy!

Miss Bentley is now 11 weeks.. her eyes are super blue i could look at them allday everyday!
I think she is a little scared of the camera here.. the flash can be bright at 9am..

getting bigger and longer every minute!

Sad thing about getting older..... getting shots. heres my sad girl just soaking up some daddy time.. Shes 9 weeks today..

Happy 2 months to miss bentley! I cant believe 2 months has already flown by.. bentley is such a lover, she LOVES to be loved. Her little smile and big blue eyes are just too cute! The pic in the red dress is her @ 7 weeks..

Here she is in her swing.. she LIVES in that thing.. its such a life saver. She even sleeps in there.. usually about 9-10 hours a night! we have been soooo lucky, she got her mommas sleeping genes..
This was her 8 week pic.. i dare u to look at this pic and NOT smile. she is just so cute i cant get over it!


Her favorite thing to do is watch tv with us..shes just happy as a clam watching tv, not sure if that is a good or bad thing!

This was this morning, watching fresh prince, her favorite show. she is a crack up. She watches it for a good hour while we get ready for work.

We are so blessed to have our little b..she is such a good girl! we love u benny!

6 weeks

Im a little late, bentley was 6 weeks last friday. But heres a picture from that day. She is growing up so fast im so shocked that 6 weeks has already flown by. Im back to work and back to normal life and feeling great!

Meet Jack. Cassidy found him last week crossing the railroad tracks by our house and had to pick him up. He stayed with us for 2 days and i was sad to see him go :( hes a black jack russell and is so sweet! Diesel loved having a brother for a few days but we determined he is better at being an only child. He would get mad at jack for getting too much attention, stealing his bones, or eating any food. i hope jack finds a good home..he remains unclaimed at the pound.. i cant beleive someone would abandon this precious face.. we miss you jack!
It was so cute, he even had a blue collar like diesel..


he was super tiny, probably only 2 months old, he made diesel look like a st. bernard! He even knew how to sit! it was adorable

Hope everyone had a happy new year!
