Bentley 5months and camping

I just can't believe Bentley is already 5 months. She is so much fun and getting such a cute personality.

For father's day weekend we went to my parents property. My dad said all he wanted for father's day was some help at the property, so in between storms we pitched in and cut down trees and bushes to make the place look nice. My parents have done such a good job up there, it looks so nice. We really enjoy going there and riding 4 wheelers, fishing and just hanging out.
Me and my mom hauling some wood that was cut down. We put it in the big pile of firewood that my dad has made.

Josh and my dad working hard...

Josh recently bought this saw, he's going to start a tree cutting business and wanted to try it out. His first tree job is today and is a really big tree surrounded by power lines and fences. I hope he is careful. When he used to fight wildfires he was the sawyer, so he knows what he's doing, but I am just a worry wart.

We went to the Strawberry day's Rodeo. We had a lot of fun and Bentley was so good and slept most of the time in my sisters arms.

My dad recently had a birthday and was letting Bentley help him with his presents. He just loves her so much.

Bentley loves watching the dogs and just can't stop staring at them. I don't know if I said or not, but we kept Dixie and got another dog for her to play with so we wouldn't feel as bad about keeping her outside. It's worked out really good.

Josh is feeding Bentley some sweet potatoes, which she loves. I've been making some of my own baby food and it' so easy and so much cheaper. Thanks Kendall for teaching me how to do it...

5k race

Me and my sister, Melissa ran in the pony express 5k race this past weekend. We had a lot of fun doing the race. Josh and Bentley came to watch us as we ended the race. It was such a nice day and felt so good to run. This was Melissa's first time doing a race, I think she had a lot of fun.
Yay, we did it!!!
We matched and we didn't even mean to.

I put Bentley in the Pony express Baby contest. She was one of the finalists, but she didn't win. It was fun though and fun to see all the other babies.

Bentley is finally starting to like being on her tummy, if she's got toys around.

Josh decided to be lazy and see if Bentley would hold her own bottle and she did, I couldn't believe it. She doesn't get a bottle very often, only when she's getting babysat.

Baby Peyton

Camping/ Bentley's first food

Bentley just had her 4 month appointment. She's really healthy, she weighs 14lbs and is 25 inches now. I can't believe she's 4 months. She's rolling over now and loves to have conversations and laugh. Me and Josh are having so much fun with her. She's such a good baby. I decided to start her on rice cereal, which was a fun experience. She really liked it, but just wasn't quite sure about the spoon thing. She has an ear infection in both ears and just got her shots. She has been super cranky today, I feel bad for her.






We went to visit Josh's Grandma Ludwig on
Memorial Day.

The boys playing redneck horseshoes. We went camping at my parents property this past weekend. Web had a good time, even though it rained the whole time.

Josh and Bryce shootin the birds, I think between the 4 boys there are no birds left up there.

Bentley's first camping trip....

Me and my mom took the babies for a walk in between storms!

Mother's Day/ fishing

I love that she can fit into her cute skirts. My friend, Melinda gave me this one. Thanks Melinda...

I cannot believe how chubby she looks in this picture!!!

Saturday we went celebrated Mother's Day with my mom. We had a BBQ and made stepping stones to put up at their property. That afternoon we went to Salem Pond and went fishing with Melissa and Gabe. It was such a nice day!
Josh also spoiled me on Mother's Day. I woke up to the fire alarm going off, he was making me breakfast, so sweet of him. He got me some flowers, hiking shoes, and some tomatoe plants. He is such a good husband...

It's so nice the have Melissa around. she takes care of Bentley the whole time, she just can't get enough of her.

This was the only fish I caught, an Albino Trout.

Bentley was so good, we put her under an umbrella to keep the sun off of her.

Making stepping stones...

My mom wanted to take a family picture to put in their new trailer. They turned out pretty cute for just doing them ourselves.

Happy 3 years!

Today is our 3rd year Anniversary! I love Josh so much, he's such a great guy and is so good to me and Bentley! I look up to him in so many ways! Love ya Josh...

Tonight we are going to go out to dinner and then my sister, Melissa offered to watch Bentley overnight! Hopefully Bentley is good for her and doesn't keep her up all night! Thanks so much Melissa!

Colorado/Josh's b-day

Gabe and Melissa loving Bentley!!

Josh turned 26 on the 25th of April. I keep teasing him about how old he is now, even though I am only a couple years behind him. He got pretty spoiled this year! He got 3 parties, one with his mom and family, one with my family, and his sister made a yummy turkey dinner for him. It's so nice to have such great families. Thanks for being so good to Josh!

Bentley doesn't really like to be on her tummy, but the doctor told me to make her do it a couple times a day to get her stronger. It's hard to make her do it when she's screaming, but in this picture she happened to be doing really good.

She loves to suck on her fingers.

We went to Colorado this past week to Josh's mom's house. Josh did a bunch of things around the house that his mom had been wanting done. He cut down two big trees and this small one, he painted the whole basement, put up some crown in one of the rooms, and a few other things. It was nice to get away and to be with the Seely family for the week. We love them and we had so much fun hanging out with them.

Easter

Bentley sleeps so good in her crib. We put her down at 9:00 and she usually sleeps til about 5 or 6 in the morning. I love to go get her in the morning. She is so happy and gives the biggest smiles.


The Easter bunny came. I am totally late posting our Easter pictures, but I just haven't found the time to do it lately. I made Josh and Bentley go on a hunt to find their baskets. Josh got a bunch of candy, a shirt and tie. Bentley got a dress, a new binki and a toy that she lays under, which she absolutely loves. I got a hat and a shirt. That day we went to the Baldwin's for dinner and dessert. It was a great day...

I thought she looked adorable in her Easter dress and she even smiled for the picture.

Bentley is getting big so fast, I can't believe it. She is so much fun now that she's found her voice and is smiling. She got her first cold a couple weeks ago. She had an ear infection and a cough. It was so sad, and I didn't hardly sleep because I was so paranoid every time she'd cough. Josh always tells me I worry way too much, but I can't help it.
