Bentley's 2nd Birthday

Bentley turned 2! I made this cake for her Birthday. It was my first attempt at making a fondant cake. It was so much fun and it turned out pretty good. Everything was edible except the tinkerbell and pearls. I definitely learned a lot for the next cake I do.
We went to Chuck-E-Cheese for Bentley's party.

Bentley had so much fun running around playing on all the toys.
She loved her cake and was so excited when she was finally allowed to touch it.

Yay! My own computer, so I don't have to touch mom and dad's anymore:)

COLORADO

Me and Bentley flew to Colorado to see Josh's family. This was Bentley's first time flying and she did really good.
Bentley on her first airplane. When we got off she kept saying, "I go airplane, mom." She didn't realize we were on the plane the whole time. It was a short flight and Bentley was able to be entertained by movies and snacks.
Bentley helping grams make some pancakes.
Bentley wouldn't go potty in the big toilet since she's used to her little one, so grams went out and bought one so that she would feel comfortable going potty. That was so sweet of her to do that and Bentley felt so special and was able to feel comfortable again.
Bentley helping Joel and Missy make some hamburgers for our Sunday dinner.
We were able to get some hair done while we were there....
Missy and Bentley making some cake. We had a great time and loved spending time with family. Josh couldn't come, because he's doing his internship.

Bent's 1st haircut & Yellowstone

Bentley still doesn't have much hair, but she had a major mullet going on so I had to trim it up. It was hard to cut off the long hair, but it looks so much better now!
For Christmas Josh's dad and stepmom gave us a trip to Yellowstone over New Years. We drove down New Year's Eve and stayed for a couple days! This is a picture of us getting our gear!
Here we are all bundled up on our ride! With the windchill it was -35 degrees. I have never felt anything that cold before. My toes were absolutely frozen and so we stopped at one of the warming huts and got some toe warmers for my boots and put on another layer. I felt much better after that! We rode for about 8 hours and saw all the different sites. We had lots of fun.
Here we are at the old faithful cafe getting warm and eating some lunch.
Me and Julie waiting for old faithful to start.
Josh and his dad.
There's old Faithful.
Here are some Buffalo we saw. They were everywhere. We also saw a bunch of elk and a coyote. I really wanted to see a wolf, but we didn't see any.
This was such a perfect snowman and so we had to take a picture with it.
Playing some games in our room. It took us a couple of hours to feel warm again from being in the frigid temperatures all day!
Can you believe how high these snow banks are?

On the way home!!
