Okay...so this post is especially for my cousin Lexie in Texas! She asked for pictures of Kennedy who is almost 20 months! Here are a few I took today. Playing outside is one of our favorite things to do. Bentley is a great brother....and loves to teach Kennedy the ropes!



We are an athletic family......or at least we try. Bentley has ridden scooters since he was 2, and started riding a bike without training wheels at 3. Kennedy is eager to learn the 3 wheeled scooter......I try to appease her and hold the handle bars and walk with her----she wants none of it! She is surely strong willed and confindent to boot.





We are so looking forward to spring and summer! We are hoping to see more of you then!

Our home....

Well, I wanted to post this of my Mr. Bentley! Yesterday we went out in the drive way to play soccer-while Kennedy watched in the kitchen eating her snacks. She laughed and laughed, and me and Bentley had some quality play time. Bentley is such a sweet and fun little guy. He is very thoughtful and a hard worker. We try to be healthy---and anytime he eats something he says, "mom, is this........good for my body?" He is a great brother and at almost 4 is up to his dads waist---Byron is 6'3". BUT he still LOVES TO CUDDLE with his MAMA! Family is happiness!
Well.....I talked with my brother Jared the other night, and we promised to post and send each other pictures of where we live......since we haven't been to each other's homes yet. So here are a few pictures of what we are working on, and completing in our new home.....notice the tape up---we are finishing painting the ceilings.


Our Bedroom...we love its size---you only see half the room---tons of windows with a breathtaking view every morning, and we love having our own bathroom.


The upstairs family room. We love the vaulted wood panel ceiling with lots of natural light. To the left you can see the upstairs fireplace.


The family room/dining room view. We love this extra table and area when we have friends over for dinner and games....so fun.

The kitchen.......I still have to put one more coat of paint on---it looks greenish-but is actually a great yellow shade---just not a huge priority until I accomplish some other things first. We love the granite in the kitchen, and there is so much cupboard storage I don't know what to do.


Anyway, that is the upstairs, the downstairs is coming---but sorry no pictures yet. Anyway we are doing well. Working and enjoying our little family!
