Long Post!

Bentley had his first Dentist appointment on the 17th of March. He did so well and is free and clear of cavities for now!
Also last week my work had a little shower for Summer and I before we go on maternity leave. They had pizza and cake gifts etc. Summer is the RN in our OR and I scrub we make a great team :).

Summer is having her second girl and I am having our second boy. I am schedule for the 17th and she is scheduled for the 1st of May!!


Here is a pic of my dad and Nick painting away in our "painting booth" in the garage! They were troopers!



The following are the finished product pictures. This is a book case that Nick made in Highschool and we just painted it navy blue. Works perfect!



Thanks to a friend in St. George who made the frames and shelving!!





I love the way it turned out!






Little glimpse of the brick wall!








Here is the brick wall all finished and decorated.







Dad your amazing! You have helped so much with all of out home projects! You have helped make this home what I have always wanted :) Hope you will come back to do out backsplash in the kitchen :) So a little explanation. My mom came on the 14th of March (saturday) for my baby shower and we started working away. Then my dad flew in the Vegas on the 18th (wed) and we got back to Kingman at like 6 and he stayed up with Nick painting all the furniture until 11 pm. Then Thursday morning bright and early (while I was at work) they started laying the brick on the wall, finished that and then Friday they grouted the entire wall. Saturday we cleaned up the room and brought in all the decor and bedding I had gathered. Talk about HGTV room makeover...It was so much fun! We totally transformed the plain guest room into Bentley's new room. I love it so much! I just need to tell my fam thanks again for being there for me and helping me get this project done in time for Baby Westbrook to come in 21 days.
More on the wonderful baby shower Nichole threw me to come....

Weekend fun!

To top off the night my friend Summer gave me this delicious recipe for a soup! I made it tonight and put it in bread bowls! All I can say is YUMMY!!!!!! Now I am tired and ready for Sunday!
Ok...so I thought I would try it on! Keep in mind it's a Saturday afternoon and that means LAZY for me!




Well today being Saturday I thought I would cross something off my list of "To Do's" so I made this Hooter Hider for Baby Westbrook coming in 6 and a half weeks! I got the fabric last weekend in Vegas with a friend at one of the best quilt shops...Quiltique! Gotta Love it!!



Mmmmm! I could eat him!










Daddy pushing him on the swing!






It was getting a bit breezy, but had to snap a picture with my lil guy!








Isn't he a true boy? Gotta have a ball wherever you go! Isn't he so handsome! We love him :)

















Bentley is figuring out how to go down the slide by himself! I love to see the look on his face when he does it. It is such a look of accomplishment!









Friday was an eventful day! Some friends and I took our kids to the park and then to Pizza Hut for lunch. Bentley had so much fun and was ready for his nap when we got home. He loved the other kids and mom enjoyed hanging out with some friends. I actually forgot to take my camera to the park and lunch during the day so the pictures above are from later Friday night when Nick and I took Bentley back to the park. We love this nice weather!

Update!

So I FINALLY after living here in this home for 71/2 months got some drided flowers etc to go in my tin wall vases...My wall has looked so incomplete, but not now! I had to post about it cuz really this is a big accomplishment :) for me. This was our Valentines to eachother! We were up in St. George and Nick's parents home.

Nick surprised me with a dozen red roses and an AMAZING card! Cards mean so much to me! Thanks babe you make me fall more in love everyday!
Nick needed some new shirts so that is what he got whether he like it or not I don't know lol. He doesn't like gettng clothes. Regardless he said "Thanks!"




This was our 3rd attempt to get a pic together with Nick's eyes OPEN! so he looks like he is trying really hard haha! Love ya babe! Also my big belly is like POPPING out of the picture...8 weeks left.. I think.

As for Bentley he is doing so much better! We took him in for a follow up last Thursday in St. George and he needed a steroid shot. He did very well and is getting better quickly. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers! We are finally getting sleep around this place. Well Bentley is I still seem to wake up at odd hours of the night..PREGNANCY??

Seriously...whats wrong with me blogging at 4:30 am??

Well I don't know if it's being pregnant, not being at my house in my bed, drinking to much water last night, or the fact that Nick and I have some decisions to make that are weighing on my mind??? Anyhow I am sitting here blogging at 4:30am. My brain wouldn't shut off at 1:30 am this morning when Nick and I were still up chit chatting and then my baby woke me up at 4 kicking my full bladder and the rest is history. O well thank heavens for BLOGS :)



I guess I will update you a little on Bentley since today is day 6 of him having his sickness :( He is actually on the mend I am glad to say. Wow it's a lot of work having a sick baby that needs antibiotics three times a day along with 3 breathing treatments and Tylenol, LOTS OF LOVE and naps etc. We see the doctor here in St. George today and I am hoping that his ear infection is healing quickly or gone by now and that his lungs are clearing up. He is sleeping better the last two nights and his fever is gone. He still is coughing up lots, has congestion and isn't eating real great. Yesterday he ate three bites of cereal, 6 chips, one bite of banana, one gold fish cracker and about five bites of Cafe Rio (cheese quesadilla). That isn't much, but it's an improvement. He is also drinking about 1-1.5 cups of liquids as well.







Thank you for all your thoughts, prayers and calls it has meant a lot. Anyhow since I am not tired yet I guess I'll post some pics of the things that I just got in for Bentley's new room...I am getting excited!


This darling map I love it! I hope maybe it can be educational!
This table and chair set!


And a preview of some of his bedding!
I hope that it all turns out... we are actually going to pick up the brick for his one wall tomorrow and my family is coming down in a few weeks to do a room and furniture makeover!! Wish us luck!
Now is 5:45 am... it did't take me that long to do this post haha I have been of course "surfing the web" I guess you could say. Do I try and go back to sleep or hop in the shower and get ready for the day??? Well I am off to do....SOMETHING!
