We can now sit up and finally a TOOTH!!!




Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! We have a tooth! The reason I am so excited is because Bentley has been a little fussier than usual lately and now I know why! Today in church I realized the he broke his first tooth. Its on the bottom left. Also he is now sitting up on his own. Not for to long but he is learning. Bentley is the happiest boy he loves to show his emotion especially when his daddy gets home from work. Bentley just giggles and laughs and reaches his arms out for Nick when he walks through the door. I love having a family and hope we can add to it soon. He teaches me so much and helps me learn patience. There is nothing more fulfilling than raising your own child. I look up to all you mothers out there... each one of you have taught me so much. Thanks mom for always helping out!


Bentley's First Swim!





Two weekends ago Nick came to Las Vegas to pick me up from my week and a half long vacation in St. George and we decided to vacation a little more in Vegas. My brother and sister-in-law live in Vegas now so we went to lunch at Cafe Rio with them and then decided to take Bentley for his first swim! He LOVED IT! Grandma Westbrook...you better be ready for us this summer lol. I went to Target and got him this crab floaty with the sun shade on it and then we were set. He just sat right in it and enjoyed every minute. His daddy loved being there for his first swim. He played motor boat with him etc. Then later that night we went and ate at Carrabba's (Italian food) then had a sleep over with them at there house. It was so much fun. I can't wait to go back. Thanks Heidi and Morgan for you great hospitality.

Conference Weekend Picnic


Conference weekend my family planned a picnic up on the red hill. Of course it was very windy, but we still had a blast. My dad loves his two grand babies! If the grand babies and my dad are there he always is holding them! He is the best grandpa ever. The picnic was great and it brought our family closer together. Gotta love those memories!

Easter Camping!


My family has a yearly tradition of camping Easter weekend. It started when I was just a little girl we would go up to Nephi, Utah and camp. Well now that my immediate family is growing with us getting married and having babies we have decided to keep it going with just us. We went out north of Gunlock and camped from Thursday til Saturday. It was a blast other than we were missing two people... Nick (who was working) and Mckay (serving a mission in Texas). Despite that we had a great time coloring eggs, riding four wheelers, putting puzzles together and enjoying eachothers company. I can't wait to go again next year.

This was one of Bentley's Easter presents from his Grandma Taylor. I thought this outfit was the cutest. He looks good in a ball cap!

Happy Easter!

This is Bentley's Easter basket from his Grandma Westbrook. SO CUTE!
