The Good Life

Birthday continued...

The big 0-3 :)

The birthday bash started out with some good ol' PlAyIn'

and some bUbBlEs...

and some tube things...

Us adults had some fun too...

Of course we had to open a couple presents.

I made a silly lookin' homemade cake..but hey, it was yummy, WAY CHEAPER and Bentley LOVED it. He said to all his cousins..'hey, come look at my ThoNas cake!' And yes, he says Thomas with an N.

Aubree enjoyed the licorice train tracks..

Jace, Rhett and Bentley

Contemplating wether he should have some cake or not...

Looks like this one enjoyed his cake!

Isn't she the cutest??

I think the Thomas the Train pinata was a hit. Bentley took the first swing...

Ryker took a whack at it...

then Donavin...

So did Aubree...

And then it started all over again...

Happy Birthday to my favorite 3 year old!! :)

Bentley turned THREE years old May 26th. Dallin had to work and go to school on Tuesday so we celebrated a little on Monday. :) We started with some lunch at Chick-Fil-A and then off to see Monsters Vs. Aliens. It was so cute and Bentley loved it.

While we waited for the movie to start, Dall and Bentley decided to do a little racing..

Then we headed up to Pedersen to ride some 4 wheelers!

On his actual birthday, my mom and I took him to the Layton Park..

We fed the ducks..

got some baskin & robbins..

and took a walk.. oh ya..and opened a couple presents :) Nothing too fancy.. a shirt that lights up..which he thinks is 'soo cool' a hat, some train tracks to go with his Thomas the Train town..some cars and......BIG BOY underwear..which isn't going so well..so we won't talk about that. :)

Jace enjoyed the walk too :)

We walked past a model home that had some balloons, which were of course like a magnet to Bentley.. (oh just fyi: I live NEXT to a super nice neighborhood, but don't live IN it..so don't think I live in one of these mansions.. i wish ;)

Wait...weren't there tWo when we got here?..ya, one flew into the sky.. Lets not let this one go too..

My mom got Bentley a super cool Batman Trike..he is LOVING it.

My sweet little Jace who is SIX MONTHS OLD NOW! I really can't believe how fast time is going...( I know everyone says that..but it's soo true )

And Bentley's new fav toy, this dinosaur we got from McDonalds. Proof that kids don't need expensive toys to be happy :) I keep telling myself that because it's so hard for me not to want to buy him every cool toy I see.

We are having a little birthday party for him on Monday..so the birthday pics are to be continued..

I'm eating solids!

....and i'm not keepin it clean!

This little man started eating solids and seems to be liking it! He grabs my hand so I will put it in his mouth quicker! haha :) We made a mistake though..well...Dallin did :) He gave him his first solid food on Mother's Day and started with fruit! I am sure all you mothers out there know it's best to start with cereal and veggies...cause they are yucky and fruit is good! So after they have the fruit, they want nothing to do with the bland stuff...well that happened! I tried to give him cereal and he was spitting it out and making discusted faces...so I had to mix a little scoop of fruit in it..and that did the trick :)

Here he is enjoying his food...

She got hitched...

One of my BEST friends since 8th grade got married!! But before the big day, we had to have a girls night out!! Who doesn't love a little (or a lot) of the Cheesecake Factory!? Soooo good! And then some 80's dancing after?!! Ya, we thought it sounded good too, but when we got to the dance club..80's night was the next night and they had hip hop and country dancing going on..so we went in and busted our moves anyway :) Thanks girls for a night I hadn't had in a LOOOOOONG time!

Lacey, McCall (the bride-to-be), me and Bree

Heather, Ash and Mandy

Some Congratulations cheesecake for the bachelorette!

...The big day...

It was so special for me to see my best friend get married in the Logan Temple. We have talked about it since 9th grade and now we have both been sealed in the temple! (not to each other though like we use to joke about in 9th grade! :) She was a GORGEOUS bride and married an awesome man that she grew up with and we went to school with. They are so perfect for each other!!!! Love you Brock and McCall!!
