We took these pictures of our beautiful children last week in the apple orchards behind our house. I can no believe how fast time flies and how old my kids are getting. Halle will be 1 in August. I cant believe that she has been in our lifes for almost a year. She is such a little spunky girl. Bentley is all boy and loves to make Halle laugh. They are the best of friends.

Halle's 9 month appointment

Halle had her 9 month appointment yesterday. She is in the 0.12 percentile for her weight which is 13.4 pounds. Her height is 27 inches and is in the 30.54 percentile. Her head circumference was 16.75 and was in the 12 percentile. We have such a small beautiful girl! We love her!

Bentley's new favorite word!

Bentley was watching Pinocchio about a week ago. If you remember in the movie Pinocchio is taken to an island where he is turned into a donkey. He meets another little boy and just before he is turned into a donkey this little boys says, "what do I look like a Jack***." Of course, that is the phrase that Bentley picked up on. He keeps going around saying jack***. When he says it we try to put him in time out...all along the way trying not to laugh or crack a smile. Who would have guessed that my sons first swear word he would have learned from a Disney movie. Go figure!

My daughter Halle is crawling and climbing all over everything right now. Her favorite thing is to climb up on my sofa table and waits for you to come and find her. Then she gets a big smile on her face and just laughs at you. When you take her down and put her back on the floor in the living room...believe it or not within 2 seconds she is right back up there. I bet you will never guess who taught her this...

Big brother Bentley!

Easter 2009

On Easter this year we had a very eventful day. Halle had the stomach flu for the weekend before. She was up all night Saturday night with vomiting and diarrhea. She was so sick that we could not get her to eat or drink. We got really worried and I ended up taking her to the ER at 6am in the morning. We ended up giving her fluids all morning long. She was so sick that the ER doctor considered admitting her to the hospital. She finished her fluids and looked so much better that the doctor let us take her home. They sent us home with the IV in her hand so that if she does not continue to eat that we could bring her back the next day for more fluids. We went go home the Easter Bunny had made a stop at our house. Bentley got to go and look for eggs and his Easter bucket. He was so excited when he found out that the eggs were filled with money...He LOVES money! We then we up to American Fork to help celebrate my dad's 52 birthday. We made him a book filled with pictures from our trips to Lake Powell. He loved it! After this we went over to my Grandma Wilson's house. We had a huge Easter Egg hunt with all our relatives. Grandma Wilson sat all the little kids down and taught them about what Easter is really all about. Bentley had so much fun.

Adam's Elk Horns

Yesterday morning Adam went up Spanish Fork Canyon with our dog Chloe. He ran across the elk horns. He was so excited when he found them. He found them right as he was starting up the mountain and therefore had to carry them all the way up the morning so he didn't lose them. Poor Guy! These are horns from last year and that is why they are white. Bentley thought this was really neat! He kept trying to pick them up and I though he was going to kill himself on them. These are the first elk sheds that Adam has found.

Easter Egg Hunt at the Stokers

On Saturday we had an Easter Egg Hunt at our cousins the Stokers house. Bentley had the best time. He found tonz and tonz of eggs. He keeps asking me every day...can we have another egg hunt. Halle was just as happy as she can be! Bentley loves to play with his cousins and loved being able to run around and be a little boy! Thanks you Andra and Matt that was a wonderful party!

5 year anniversary

On March 20, it was our 5 year anniversary. We spent the weekend up in Park City. We had my sister come over and watch Bentley and Halle. It was fabulous not to have to worry about having enough bottles or where Bentley put his shoes! We stayed in a really nice hotel room that had a hot tub on the balcony. We went to movies, dinner, shopping, Color-me-mine and rode the Zipline at Olympic Park. We had a wonderful time and got to spend some well needed alone time together! I Love you Adam!

Halle's 6 month pictures!

This is Halle's 6 month old pictures. She is such a doll. I just love my neighbor who takes her picture for me. She is wonderful and always gets some great shots! I LOVE YOU KRISTIN, YOU ARE AMAZING!

Bowling at South County Lanes in Payson

A couple of weeks ago we took Bentley bowling. He had such a great time. He loved to roll the ball down the lane and yell even if he didn't hit any pins down. He actually did pretty good, much to the help of the bumpers!!! Bentley is so adventurous and I love that about him.

Christmas 2008

I am a little late on getting our Christmas pictures posted. I have b een extrememly busy over the past month and a half. So here are some of our Christmas pictures. We had my parent's and family over for Christmas Eve. We build gingerbread houses, ate pizza and treats, did a puzzle and watched movies. We had a wonderful time. On Christmas morning, we heard Bentley wake up and we thought that he was still in his room. Apparently he had remembered that it was Christmas and ran into the living room and started opening presents. I was so mad because I wanted to video tape him seeing the presents for the first time. This was the first year that he got really excited about it and I wanted it on film. So Adam and I jumped out of bed and stopped him before he could get too far. We had a wonderful Christmas morning together as a family. Later in the afternoon we went up to my parent's house in American Fork. We opened presents with them also. Adam got a gag gift from my little brother, Kyle. He bought him a twilight shirt and a picture of Radar the horse (inside joke). We all had a good laugh about that one. We had a wonderful Christmas and wish everyone else did also.

Bentley's 3rd birthday party

For Bentley's 3rd birthday (January 31, 2009) we had a car's themed party. He loves the movie Cars. We ate tire cake and had drinks from Flo's V8 cafe (motor oil, Fillmore's organic fuel, Dinoco Oil and Anti-Freeze). We played different car games such as Guides tire shop (relay race rolling tires), Guido's Pit Stop (changing tires and headlight/taillights on cardboard box cars) and we went to Ramones body Art and got temporary tattoos. It was a BLAST! I thank everyone that participated and helped us celebrate this exciting day!
