Christmas

These two pics are out of order and I didn't know how to fix it, but oh well. Bentley got this little push toy for Christmas and she loves it and hopefully it will get her stronger so she can walk on her own!

We've had quite the eventful couple of weeks! All three of us have been sick with different things. I have had pneumonia, Bentley had a bladder infection and got really sick throwing up and wouldn't eat or drink anything, and Josh had to go to the ER because of terrible stomach pain. He said it was the worst pain he's ever had. Me and my mom drove out to the hospital to be with Josh and my sister stayed at our house with Bentley and we were there until 4:30 in the morning. Thanks so much mom for your help, couldn't have done it without you!!! Josh ended up being fine, we still don't know what was wrong, and hopefully he stays healthy and me and Bentley are doing better too!

Anyway we had a really good Christmas! Christmas Eve we had a nice dinner with the Ludwig family, Josh's dad and sister and her family! Then we went to my parents and stayed the night!

Bentley opening presents with her grandma Ludwig!

We read the story from Luke and the kids acted it out! Brooke was Mary, Cole was Joseph and didn't want to wear any kind of costume:) and Bentley was an angel and thought she was so funny! Thanks for the fun night Jess!

We got up at about 7:00, my little brother couldn't wait any longer. We opened presents and then had some homeade cinnamon rolls!

Bentley got this push toy from santa. She loved it as you can tell by her face!

Me and Bentley opening up some of her presents Christmas morning!

Bentley in the middle of the mess! She was a little overwhelmed by all the stuff everywhere, but she had fun.

The Ludwigs!!

Grandpa and Bentley at Christmas dinner! We went to Ogden for Christmas dinner and we have to do it at the church since there were about 95 people there! It was so fun to see everyone and of course the food was so good!

Us at dinner, and yes Bentley is eating a pickle! She definitely takes after me loving pickles and sour stuff!

Josh is in EMT school and has to do 100 assessments on different people for his class, so our families were so nice to help him out by letting him check them out!

Christmas night we got to spend time with the Seely's, Josh's mom and family! They came down from Colorado to spend time with us! We had lots of fun hanging out with them!

I've always done this since I was little where you put out all the stuff you got for Christmas and take a picture by it, so I made all of us do it this year! We got so spoiled from eachother and our families! Christmas is so fun and I am kind of sad that it's already over!

Josh and all his goods!!!

As you can see Bentley got spoiled, mostly from our families. She's had so much fun looking at and playing with all her toys!

December

December has been good so far, really busy, but so fun! We just love the holidays...

Bentley is 11 months now and loves to take all the toys out of her bucket and all my tupperware out of the cupboard. Last night she took her first steps, 4 in a row! We were so excited ...
We went to my parents house for my moms Birthday! My dad gave Bentley a whole plate of avacodos and she was in heaven!

Bentley enjoyed helping her grandma open her presents! We love you mom...

We had a holiday boutique at my mom's house and it went really well. I sold jewelry, my friends sold baby flowers and leggings, and my mom sold some home decor stuff. It went really good and was so much fun!!

Bentley sat on santa's lap at our ward party. She wasn't quite sure about him, but she never cried!

Bentley and our Christmas tree!!!

Bentley trying out the lights....

We hope you all have a very merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving

Bentley is so close to walking. She gets a little nervous when you let go of her hands, but we know she could do it on her own if she trys.
I watched my cute neice and nephew one day and we had so much fun. Bentley loves to be around them and they love her so much too.


This year for Thanksgiving we went to my Aunt Cary's house. She has a beautiful new home! We had an awesome dinner, then we played some games and hung out! It was a great day, I love being with family.


Josh and Gabe watching sports and looking at the Ads.



Bentley and her cousin Presley took a bath at my aunts, they were so cute together.

We played Bingo and won lots of fun prizes.

Here's my cute grandma shooting the pellet gun at the target, she's a good shot. We all took turns shooting the guns at some ice block targets, it was fun...

Bentley and her grandma and great grandma Baldwin.

Halloween

Bentley loved getting all the gunk out of the pumpkin and she kept trying to eat it, such a funny girl!




Bentley and her cousins. We went and visited Josh's grandma on Halloween and went trick or treating to a few houses! Then we went and had homeade chilli at my sis in laws house, thanks for the yummy chilli Jess!

I talked Josh into dressing up this year! It was fun!

Grandma Ludwig and all the kids...

Our little bug! We didn't take her trick or treating since she's still too young, but I wanted to still dress her up. I borrowed this costume from my sister in law, so it worked out perfect!

Diggin into the treat bowl!

Bentley has to stand on everything now! It's cute and she thinks she's so big!

We had our friends over for dinner one night and she absolutely loves her friend, Peyton. She tries to kiss her and touch her eyes!

We had a pumpkin party and dinner with the Ludwigs the beginning of October!

Deer Hunt

I got to go on my first deer hunt this year. We drove the wheeler with the little trailer behind that had all our stuff in it.
This is what the road was like the whole time. You can't take trucks up this road, it was pretty bad on a wheeler too!

We camped at the top by this lake, it was so pretty!

We brought a little wood burning stove to keep us warm at night, it was so nice!

We hiked and hiked all day long, so we took a little nap up on the mountain!

This was the highest point, you couldn't go any higher. There was snow up there, but it was melting fast. I was pretty proud of myself for being able to hike so much! My legs felt like jello by the time we got back though!

Yay my first buck! We saw him on our way out, just before dark. I was so nervous to shoot him, but I hit him the first time in the right spot, so he went right down. I just didn't want to see him suffer, so I was glad he went down fast! Then the real work began... We didn't want to drag it out, since we were so far from camp and you couldn't get wheelers up there. Josh just cut all the meat off and put it in a bag in his pack. He had over a hundred pounds on his back the way out! It was dark and we had to go back to camp! I was nervous a cougar was going to come get us, since we'd been seeing tracks all day!

Josh was pretty proud of me and said this is a pretty nice deer, since he's so wide.
