Bentley James

OUR LITTLE BOY IS 2!

Tuesday March 24th was Bentley's 2nd birthday! We had a great day! One of the highlights for both of us was taking this sweet puppy megan for a walk. Megan is our friend Rose's dog. I called and asked her if we could take Megan for a walk. She so graciously gave her consent. Bentley LOVES PUPPIES! While we were on our walk Megan wanted to use the bathroom on someone's lawn. Bentley bent down and said, "NO, NO PUPPY! NO, NO! I was dying! It was so funny to see him be the boss.

He held that leash tight!
My mom took Bentley on a date today and bought him some darling clothes and fun toys. This shirt was one of them-it is a little big. He had a fabulous time with grandma. My mom got me a pregnancy massage and chiropractic appt. while they were on their date! What a fabulous birthday for ME TOO! Thanks mom-it saved me.

In the evening my sister Stacia and her two daughters, and our family went out to my parents house for Bentley's birthday dinner and party! My mom made some fabulous spaghetti and meatballs(Bentley polished off 2 helpings, plus salad and bread!) and I made a green salad and some yummy garlic bread. It was so nice. We then opened some thoughtful and fun gifts! Among them: an adorable jacket from my parents, a cute church outfit from Byron's parents, a transportation book from my sister(-AMEN-It will save us in church!), A fabulous fold out book of The Jungle Book, train set, and a huge tonka dump truck! Oh what fun!

Oh what a long fun day-someone is getting tired!
Grandpa is helping Bentley blow out his candles!
I put a dumptruck and tractor on this icecream cake-a huge muddy mess!

You can see why Grandpa is his favorite-cake all the way!
A few reasons why we LOVE AND ADORE OUR BENTLEY:
1. He makes me smile everyday
2. He says pease and tank you(please and thank you) all the time.
3. He is so tender and heartfelt(he started crying
4. He is a fabulous cuddler!
5. He kisses and hugs profusely
6. He is content and happy without being entertained-a fabulous first child!
7. He likes to pray-even though I have no idea what he is saying, except, AMEN!
8. Daddy is his favorite...that's fine with me---I hope he becomes just like him.
9.He loves everything I do....Bikes, ketchup, Byron, kisses-and he just said to me, "papa"
10.He is ours FOREVER!

There a few people from Idaho on my blog. Allison Baer is now Engel, Rachel Jones is now Lowe, do you remember Heather Walker? She dated Brady...she lived in the same apartment as you, but she is now Zweig. But those are the ones I've found so far! I'm so excited that you have such a cute family!
