Miscellaneous Pictures from September


Bentley loves to do his homework in the Star Wars book. He is such a good little student.
He is so focused and patient.
Picnic in the park!
I love Bentley's flailing body in the background. He loves to do crazy moves as he flips over the balls on the trampoline.
Any time we watch a movie, there is always a dance party on the table as the credits scroll.
Cute little buddies!
Brad and I went on a fun date to the State Fair Rodeo and Clay Walker concert. It's always a good time.


Cute little guy and his favorite game right now, Sleeping Queens.
The kids love playing blind man's bluff. Unfortunately, Olivia always ends up getting trampled at some point in the game.


Bentley is gearing up for Halloween with his awesome Storm Trooper costume. He wears it a ton!
The PTA at the school held a fall festival and Eden loved going and being a part of the fun games. She chose Mickey and Minnie face paint and spent lots of her tickets playing all the fun carnival games.
It was crazy busy so I'm glad we got there early and burned through our tickets quickly!

Bentley's Coloring

Bentley asked me to print a picture of some Star Wars guys for him to color and this was the end result. He worked on it for a really long time. He has some serious patience and determination. I love his creativity.  :)

More Selfies...

So far Bentley is the only one who hasn't yet discovered the fun of stealing mom or dad's phone and taking tons and tons of pictures. I can't tell you how many of these types of pictures of my girls have now been uploaded to my computer.....

Just a typical day...


Eden - Boy Crazy Already

These are the types of little notes I find lying around my house. Some have crushes on her, and in some she is the one with the crush. She is so funny.
Breck Reidhead is a boy in her church class, that was also in her karate and kindergarten class too.
I was combing her hair one day and talking to her about maybe getting a hair cut to try something different since she has always had her hair so long. She promptly said, "Oh no, we can't cut my long hair. Breck loves my hair."  ha ha oh geez...

Olivia - 18 Months

This little girl is a firecracker!  Out of the three kids, she definitely swings the farthest on either ends of the personality spectrum - so incredibly fun and full of life, and so crazy stubborn and hard. She keeps us on our toes for sure. She is a mischievous little thing and likes to get into everything and make big messes. She also loves to be silly and to make us laugh. 

Her speech is coming along awesome and she talks so much these days. She is like a little parrot and mimics what everyone else says which is pretty funny. For example, she likes to scream "mom, wipe my bum!" which she learned from Bentley. She also sings the tune to Star Wars any time she sees anything that has to do with that show. Her favorite song though is twinkle, twinkle little star and she sings it so cute and wants me to sing it to her every night before bed.

She transitioned into nursery at church like a champ. She is in the same class as Bentley, for now, which is super cute because he watches out for her. She is going through a bit of a mommy attachment phase though which is a little frustrating when I attempt to leave her at any other time.

She is little miss independent and needs to learn everything on her own. I can warn her about climbing on the table, but she will keep doing it and fall off a time or two before she decides that it isn't a good idea after all. This little feature may turn out to be a bit tricky when she is a teenager.  

She loves her siblings and wants to be big just like them. Seeing their relationships blossom is definitely one of the best parts of parenting.

She loves veggie/fruit smoothies which is a major plus since she is a horribly picky eater.
She LOVES shoes. Dress up shoes and anyone's regular shoes. She always tries on every shoe she comes across. A lot of visitors take their shoes off when they come over, and Olivia always ends up wearing every pair she finds. She also loves to raid my closet for my shoes too.
Sporting someone's flip flops.
And Eden's flip flops...
She's also going through a phase with these necklaces and wants as many on as she can find. She gets very mad if anyone tries to take them off.
And purses too.... I guess it's very safe to say she is an accessory girl.


She loves to play with the camera on our phones.
Her smiles are the best - and so is her crazy stringy hair.

Scowl when she sleeps....
A little nervous anticipation on the ride at Cliff's.
She is starting to like books more and more, but she is very inpatient and wants to flip through the pages really fast until she slams it shut and says, "the end!"
She loves to play airplane on daddy's feet.
And already borrowing her big sister's clothes.
Special date with daddy!

Oh man... these legs, and that hair - I love this girl to pieces.

21 Weeks Pregnant!

They say the camera adds 10 pounds... surprisingly, I think I actually look smaller in this picture than I really am which I guess is nice. To be fair though, I'm pretty sure I was sucking in as best as I could. ha ha
This pregnancy has definitely been more unpleasant than my others, but it is flying by so I guess that's a good thing. This girl moves around like crazy which is fun. It's crazy to think that we will have her here very soon!

Bentley sleeping

For some reason, his bed is still the least exciting place to fall asleep. 
I love this cute boy.

Cousins!

Kally and Dallen took their two older boys to Utah for a quick weekend trip for a BYU game, so we got to keep the three little ones with us. The kids were in total heaven having their cousins around.

Olivia and London would babble together as if they were having real conversations.

Bentley loved having more ninjas and superheroes around.
There was also a lot of wet and messy sandbox time.
Snack time!

I love these kids and am so glad we can get together often!
