I was also able to take Bentley to the new Washington Swimming pool with Heidi, Kim C, Kim R and Jessica Richards and there kids. We had a blast, but didn't take to many pics. It was hard to take a ton cuz I was mostly wet with Bentley. Also the pic in the middle is for my mom. She gave Bentley this Tonka walker and he LOVES it.

 

After our visit to Salt Lake we traveled down to St. George where we were able to celebrate Bentley's first birthday! We had a BBQ and pool party at Nick's mom's home. (Thanks again Cindy) Bentley loved every minute of it he swam with his Grandpa's then ate dinner. After Dinner we attempted the CAKE. I wasn't sure how we would react, but my guess was right. He put one hand in it then was done. I'm glad that I didn't spend hours making a wonderful cake..I bought a cheap one at the grocery store. Then we opened presents. Bentley was so greatful for all the gifts that he recieved. A big thanks to all that came and celebrated with us! Also we told our surprise at the end. I'll explain in a later post.

Our Stay at Bryson & Kristen's

 

We were so lucky to be able to spend a few days up in Salt Lake with Bryson and Kristen and there new baby Addison. She is such a doll. While we were there we ate at some good restaurants, shopped and slept. The boys went shooting and looking at cars. Grandma Westbrook was so good to help me with Bentley and give him a bath! He loves his bath time. Also Nick's grandparents came to visit and brought us peaches :) Thanks Bryson and Kristen for letting us stay with you your daughter is beautiful!

Bentley is turning 1!!!

I just wanted to put his little birthday invite on here because we are going to be celebrating Bentley's first birthday. I can't believe that a year has come and gone. We are so blessed to have such a healthy little boy that brings so much joy to our lives.

Some of the things that Bentley is currently doing:
*Clap Clap Clapping his hands! He does this on que you will ask him and then he gets this big grin (like he is so proud he can do something we ask) and then starts clapping away.
*Waving bye bye or hello. He does this as well when you say Bentley say Bye then he does its the cutest thing ever.
*When I go to put his shoes and socks on he will put his right foot up then his left so that I can put them on.
*He gives High Fives too!
*Cries when we leave the room.
*Eats so much food! I can't believe what my lil chunk can put away. He eats everything and anything.
*He has become attached to his blue Meinky (spell check please) blanket.
*He will stand up not holding onto things, but won't walk yet.
*He grinds the teeth that he does have. I drives Nick and I nuts.
*He is sleeping for 12 hours straight! Seriously from 8-8. THis might be normal for kids, but its a new thing for Bentley and we love it!
*He also is taking 2 great naps. (so is mom)
*He loves his bath time. He kicks so hard that water goes everywhere.
*Loves to talk on the phone to his Daddy. (consists of daddy talking Bentley just jabberinng).

He is advancing so well it seems. Everyday he turns over a new leaf. We are so greatful for him.

Oops!

I have see Bentley reach into his toy box so many times and fall in. I think it is so cute an have wanted to blog about it, but haven't had my camera handy. Today I did and I got hime crying inside his toy box. His little belly was all that was holding him...his feet weren't touching. I hurry and snapped a quick pic and then got him out and he was so scared. Until he gets taller I have a feeling that this will continue to happen. :) Kids are great.

Bentley's First Bonk...

Bentley was crawling after his favorite ball and he put his hand on it and slipped off, face planting into the tile. He was bleeding pretty good and this was the end result. So sad! As a mom you never want your little one to get hurt, but it just happens. I just held him and loved him...I got the best snuggles ever! He is all healed up now.

Tangled up!

This is how I found Bentley the other day. All tangled up in the playstation cord.
