Long time...no blog....

It's almost been two months since I've signed into my blogging account to do a post. I thought I'd better get going before I get too far behind! Not that anyone is even reading my blog anymore...But I did find a website that prints your blog into an awesome hardcover book. So that has motivated me to not skip over too much. I'll start with a few pics from Easter and work my way up. Our Easter Eggs

Bentley and some of his cousins waiting to do the Easter Egg hunt at the Rec Barn.

Jace and Bentley bringing me some of their finds to crack open and eat.

Helping Jace collect his eggs.

Bentley with a few of his proud finds.

Easter brunch

The Easter Bunny brought him a 'big boy bike' just what he wanted.

and a few other things...

Jace is just happy he got a chocolate egg, who cares about the rest.

Happy Spring!

p.s. I already have flowers by my front door and soil pep in my flower beds. Oohh..those smells combined make me happy.

Do you love spring as much as I do?!?

Who's 16 months old today?!

THIS GUY!

There goes darn time again... flyin' by quicker than I'd like. My cousin said something on her blog awhile ago that Dallin and I could not agree with more. She said she wants to always have a baby in the house..you know..like a pet.. :) If I could just always have a baby that would never get big and sassy, I would LOVE it. They grow WAY too fast.

He is loving the outdoors this year now that he can walk and EXPLORE!

Bentley loves having him be big enough to play with him more.

No more baby..now he's a toddlin', dirt diggin' little boy.

I need your opinion

I am wanting to make some simple curtains for our toy room in the basement. I want the fabric to be pretty gender neutral, and I want greys, yellows and blues in it. I found these 2 that are pretty close to what I am wanting. Which one do you like better?

elephants or giraffes?

What is it?

I was playing with the boys this morning and grabbed Jace, lifted up his shirt to blow a raspberry on his tummy and saw THIS!

I thought it was some infected, scabby rash of some sort and started to worry. In about 2.5 seconds I thought how "That wasn't there last night, He is starting to come down with a cough, could it be some wierd side effect of something? WHAT IS IT?"

Then I saw some some yellowish stuff on the inside of his shirt.

Then I smelt it.

It was chewed up, sticky, slimey fruit snacks that he spit into his hands and smeared all over his belly.

Sounds like my Jace. :)

Buckeye fans!

For those of you who don't know, Dallin went to Columbus Ohio on his LDS mission. He became a Huge Ohio State Buckeye fan-HUGE. So when I saw these sweatshirts, I couldn't pass them up, I knew daddy would be proud.

Jace has gotten big, huh?

Jazz Game

The Fab Five performed at the Jazz vs. Mavs half time show, and luckily they had 2 extra tickets for us! It was a GREAT game and a GREAT half time show. I always love to watch them clog. It's so full of energy and you can't help but smile, plus I love em' :)
Dallin and Mike helping to set up their floor.

They did their crowd favorite 'Fire Burning' by Sean Kingston

They did awesome!

And so did they! It was a really fun game to watch.

p.s. 'Valentines Day' was soo good! Go see it!

Disneyworld

Bentley and I were able to go on a date to Disneyworld at the end of January with some family. It's kind of a long story about how it all fell into place, but I am so grateful it did, we had SOO MUCH FUN! It was some much needed mommy and Bentley time.



We had a really long day of flying..but we kept ourselves entertained.

We flew in on a Thursday night to Orlando..

And hit up Magic Kingdom first thing Friday morning!

Waiting in line for Dumbo...

One of Bentley's favorite rides... 'the horses'

Buzz Light Year!

I was a heathen. You can't go to Disney without getting a turkey leg!

We loved the teacups!

Another favorite was of course the race cars... He told me "I am taking you somewhere mommy."

Toon Town was the cutest. Here we are checkin out what Minnie has in her fridge.

And what Mickey has in his garage..

The next day we headed over to Animal Kingdom.

The Tree of Life. The whole tree is sculptures of animals. Pretty awesome!

We saw some large, nasty bats.

Some beautiful tigers..

Took a minute to play the African drums..

Took an African Safari..

And of course had a loli pop as big as our head.

This doesn't even cover half the fun we had or the animals we saw..but who wants to take pictures when your cramming a weeks worth of fun in TWO days?!

Then we headed back to Magic Kingdom to watch the light parade..

This boy is obsessed with swords

What a magical weekend. I LOOOOVE Disneyworld and I am so glad I could share it with Bentley!!

Although we did have an absolute amazing time..we did have a few mishaps..

*Bentley had a few fits..
Which one time caused me to put him in time out in the Happiest Place on Earth over a damn light sword.

*I lost my credit card at the light parade.

*I discovered I lost it as we were packing up to leave and was so ticked I forgot to grab my camera battery charger.

*Orange Juice leaked in Bentley's backpack where I was keeping my phone- which then decided to quit working for the day.

*We had to take the emergency exit out of two rides because Bentley was screaming like a crazy mad man to get out of those 'scarry rides' (A Bugs Life and Stitch's Great Escape)

But other than that- MAGICAL.
