Loving our Bentley!

We are loving every minute with our little Bentley! He is so sweet and so much fun. His older brothers just love him to death... and so do Logan and I!!!

boys boys boys!

There are boys everywhere at my house!!! My friend Amy came over and took these pictures of my boys. It was intended to be a baby photo shoot with one or two with the boys, but the ones with the big brothers turned out to be my fav. My little stinker Wesley was actually smiling for the camera! (Doesn't happen to often these days!)

Sweet as can be!

 Everything with this C-section went absolutely perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The recovery in the hospital and at home has been so good. My favorite part about this delivery was that I asked my Doctor ahead of time to hold up the baby right after he was born. So for the first time I was able to see my baby immediately.... with all the slim and yucky stuff on him. I had never seen that before, so it was really special for me I loved that. It really was love at first sight. We love our little Bentley so much he is absolutely perfect!

Just like with my other boys I loved my time in the hospital. We had lots of visitors. Casey and his girlfriend Elise flew in from Chicago to visit and see the baby!! Also, my Uncle got married the day after Bentley was born so my Grandparents were able to come and so was my Aunt Nanette, Uncle Val and Cousin Brylee! It was so awesome to see them!!

After 3 1/2 days at the hospital it was time to go home. I'm always sad to leave. It is just such a special time to spend with just the baby and I love that. I'm so thankful for all of our family members who helped out so that Logan could be at the hospital the whole time too!

A day at the Beach

 Last year we did a day at the beach with my family and it was so much fun we had to do it again! This Summer has been going by so fast... we realized time was limited. (Since I only have 2 more weeks til I have my baby!) So we went this Saturday. It was seriously SO MUCH FUN! I love the beach so much... especially when it's nice enough to wear swim suits and get in the water a little!

Before hitting the sand we spent sometime in Seaside. Of course we had to hit up the Merry-Go-Round... although Baylor was the only kid willing to go on! I asked Wes if he wanted to go on and he just said 'No, no' and shook his head. 

Logan, Baylor, Kyle and Mackenzie went on the Tilt-A-Whirl... can you tell Baylor was excited to go on? He said that was his favorite part of the day.

As much as I love all the fun stuff at downtown Seaside, nothing beats hanging out in the sand on a sunny day! We went to Cannon Beach to hang out. The boys were in HEAVEN!

37 Weeks Pregnant!



Wesley LOVES the ocean. He kept going in deeper and deeper. He didn't mind getting splashed and he wasn't afraid. He would say, 'Uh oh' as the waves were coming... and then he would squeal as the waves splashed him! At one point he was neck deep in water! Mackenzie was nice to keep playing with him the water since that's all he wanted to do!

Baylor loved getting burried... this picture cracks me up, he looks so content just hanging out under the sand!

 But this is my favorite... the double bury. Oliver and Baylor's heads look so cute poking out from the sand!

 Wesley looked cold in his wet swimsuit so I put clothes back on him... but then he got all the way back into the ocean in his clothes! Next time- swimsuits until it's time to go home!

 My Dad brought a kite so him and Logan spent FOREVER trying to get it up. At least a half an hour if not more. I knew Logan wouldn't want to leave without getting it up... and they finally did. (There were a few kite issues.) They both looked so happy once the kite was flying high!

It was such a fun day at the beach I wish we would have gone more then once this Summer. We are so lucky to live so close we need to do this more often. Can't wait to go again next year!
