Happy Valentines day

For Valentines Day we went to church and then came home and made cafe rio pork salads. This is Josh's favorite, so I decided to make it for him. For dessert we had homeade sugar cookies, which are my favorite. Hope you all had a good day.

Mom's little helper

My parents watched Bentley over night so me and Josh could go on a date! They saved this box for her from a new treadmill they got. She thought that was the greatest thing ever. We came and picked Bentley up and watched the super bowl, and of course had really good food.

Bentley's ONE!!!

My sister in law took some pictures of Bentley! She did such a good job, thanks again Jess!

I was proud of myself for saving money and making Bentley's outfit, everything except the leg warmers! I had lots of fun doing it!

Bentley turned one January 22nd! We had a little family party at our house for her! We had pizza, cake, and ice cream! We cannot believe she is one, that year went by so fast!

Bentley did a good job opening all her presents and she was really interested what was inside!

The Ludwigs

She really got after eating the cake and frosting! She kept looking at us like, are you seriously letting me do this? I took it away from her after this pic, I thought she had enough and didn't want to be up all night!

Bentley's cousin, Brooke helped her blow out her candle!

Eating pizza and breadsticks!

My little sis and Bentley looking at the balloons!! Thanks everyone for coming and sharing this special day with us!

Bentley loves to take everyhing out of the dishwasher and the cupboards, I usually let her since it keeps her happy and occupied!

Bentley's first time eating spaghetti and loving it!

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.

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!!!

We hope you all have a very merry Christmas!
