Sunday Best

 I am on day 11 of being sick. I have some weird cold flu thing that just won't go away. Now I'm to the point that I don't want to go anywhere and give anyone what I have cause I would feel so bad!! On a typical Sunday, 20 minutes before church I am running around the house like a mad women turning off lights, trying to find shoes and bagging up cookie crisp... but today, me and Bentley were just in our PJ's hanging out so I decided to snap a few pictures of the boys in their Sunday best!!

This boy is no longer a Sunbeam! :( He is now in the CTR 4 class... and lucky him, he gets to be with two cousins, Cody and Evelyn! He gave the Prayer in Primary today all by himself. Me and Logan felt so bad, we forgot he was assigned to do it! But he handled it all on his own. Good thing!

 

As for this munchkin, he is now in the big nursery. 

One more year of the 'Bubble Class.'

 

 They love their robots that they got from Santa!

Bentley

Our little Bentley is almost 5 months old. Every day we are so grateful for our new little guy. He smiles none stop. Sometimes he is crying but if I smile at him long enough he will stop crying to smile back at me. He always wakes up happy in the morning cooing and smiling. As for the night time... this baby boy DOES NOT SLEEP! He wakes up about 5 times a night! And lately, he doesn't sleep in! Good thing he is so sweet and wakes up with a smile on his face, so it's not too hard to get up and take care of him!

As for motor skills... he doesn't really have any yet. He doesn't roll over or sit up. Of course he will get it eventually, but as for now he is just laying around and sitting in his bumbo! He loves that!!

 

 I never get sick of seeing this sweet little face.

 We love our little Bentley!

Christmas Time

 Next year my goal for Christmas is to take more pictures. I guess we were too busy having fun! I did get a few of some of our favorite things we did in December. Our very favorite is being all cozy by the tree watching Christmas movies!

 Casey (Baldwin) hooked us up with tickets to the Festival of Trees in Portland. There were lots of tree displays and the kids each got a teddy bear. It was lots of fun!!

 All December I had been wanting to go see the tree downtown... and finally the Saturday before Christmas there was perfect weather so we went. It was really festive in the square with a band playing Christmas music and....to our pleasant surprise, Santa was right in the Square! We were planning on going to Macys but it was really cool to see him right in the center of it all. We will definitely be doing this again next year!

 

 

The Sunday before Christmas, December 23rd.

 

Bentley was baby Jesus in the Nativity on Christmas eve at the Mays. He did a great job!!

 

Here is the one picture I took Christmas day! Wesley opened his nerds rope and didn't care much about anything else!

Family Pictures

 My sister Kenz took some picture of our family for our Christmas card. She always does a great job!

I didn't get my Christmas card out to everyone on my list. So if I missed you, I'm sorry! Hopefully I will do better next year!

Thornton's Tree Farm

 On November 27th we borrowed Grandpa May's truck and headed out to the Tree Farm. We were going to try a new place this year, one that we heard was a little cheaper so we drove there first. It was pretty far away (past Battle Ground!) and they were closed! So we hurried and went to Thornton's... with 20 minutes to pick out a tree. We love Thornton's so it all worked out.

 Bentley is easy to tote around, he's always having a good time :)

 The boys were freezing their buns off. Good thing we were quick!

We love cutting down a fresh Christmas tree!!

James Visit

Heidi and her kids came into town for Halloween! It was fun for the kids to trick-or-treat together. One of the days she was here we went to the G6 trampoline park. Of course the kids loved that.... and so did Logan!

We went on a little girls trip to Cannon Beach for a night. It was really fun and relaxing! We ate yummy food, played games, and watched a Zac Efron movie, which is always fun! The next day was filled with window shopping and of course, lunch at Ecola. Thanks for the fun weekend ladies!

Warming up with some hot cocoa and cider at Pig N' Pancake.

Halloween

Right before we went trick or treating our friend Scarlette offered to take some pictures of our boys in their costumes! She is a super talented photographer, it was so nice of her to take these pictures!

 

My two pirates needed a parrot! I couldn't find a cute one to buy so I had to throw this together. This was my first sewing project that I have done all by myself. I was happy with how it turned out!

Here are the boys excited, ready to go trick or treating!

Earlier in the month we had a Halloween party with a few friends. We dressed as 'Buddy and Jovie' from Elf. Our friend Kevin came as a gingerbread man so we thought we better get a picture!!

 Baylor and Wesley wanted to have a party of their own so we invited a few of their friends over after Preschool for a Halloween party. Cute kids!

 Callie threw a Old Western themed Halloween party. Logan and I went as a Saloon girl and Bartender. The theme was so cute- we had so much fun!

Here are the boys in our trunk at the Trunk or Treat. There were so many fun Halloween festivities... by the end of it all I was EXHAUSTED! But it was all so much fun!!!!!!!!
