Have a Holly Jolly Christmas!!!

Feliz Navidad!

Bentley-isms

So my friend writes all the funny things her son says on her blog. I think it is such a good way to always remember the silly, cute things your kids say for years to come...so here are a few cute things Bentley has said recently. He is growing up so fast and becoming more aware of everything around him. I love this little man!
While tooting for like a minute straight...

"Dad, did you hear that? My bum is talking."

While walking through the mall...

"Dad, I smell pickles."

Bentley was watching his favorite monster truck show and said pointing to the little boy,

"Mom, look...he's my guy."

During breakfast the other day Bentley said in an extremely serious voice,

"Mom, I am freaking sick."

Bentley and I were laying in his bed and very nonchalantly he said,

"I love boogers, they are my favorite treat!"

Happy Halloween!

Halloween was so much fun this year! Holidays just get more and more fun the older the kids get. Here they are together before we went out trick-or-treating. This was the best picture we could get of them...I guess they were just too excited to focus on smiling for the camera. Bentley chose to be a pumpkin for Halloween this year. He was the cuttest pumpkin I've ever seen.
Little Vienna was Tinkerbell. A-dor-able. She wasn't sure what was going on, but I think her girly side just loved being dressed up! She cracks me up.

Here is Bents trick-or-treating. He loved it and scored a bunch of yummy candy. It was the perfect weather and we all had a great time. After trick-or-treating we all went to Los Hermanos. It has been a tradition since Tay and I got married and we had such a blast eating delicious mexican food and just enjoying each others company. It was the perfect ending to an awesome day. Happy Halloween!!!

Pumpkin Patch Fun

There is an awesome pumpkin patch right by our house and we like to frequent it often. They have a ton of fun activities that the kids love! They have a big hay maze, a small hay maze, a petting zoo, a huge hay pyramid, a hay ride, and a ton of pumpkins. They also have a way cool pit of corn that the kids love to play in. I think we like it so much because it reminds us of the beach.

Here is Bentley and his BFF/girlfriend Chloe. They are adorable.

I love the corn pit so much I had to test it out grown up style. Check out that jump! Don't let me fool you, I was totally scared to jump into it.

I love getting to celebrate the Halloween holiday through my children's eyes. It makes it totally magical and we are making a lot of fun memories together!

Pumpkin Eater

So the other day a friend of mine took pictures of Vienna and her little girl in this pumpkin. They turned out insanely cute if you ask me.Vienna was a okay with it all at first, but wasn't quite sure what to think of being inside of a pumpkin. I had a hard time getting her chubby legs into the holes and that kind of made her mad...proof to follow.

Bentley told me he wanted to be a pumpkin this year for Halloween. So we picked up a little pumpkin costume for him and voila. Two of the cutest pumpkins in the whole world.

My little pumpkin eater.

So. Cute.

Family Pictures

We had our family pictures taken today! We figured that we were way over due since it had been almost three years since our last family picture, when Bentley was two weeks old. Our little family isn't so little anymore. Our kiddies are getting so big and seem so grown up. I want to just freeze time and just enjoy thier cute little personalities!

Taylor and I celebrated our 6th year anniversary on Thursday. I feel like such a lucky gal to have such an amazing, loving, smart, compassionate, handsome husband. He truly is the most wonderful man and is the man of my dreams. Here's to six years down and an eternity to go!!!
The kids did so well during their photos. They did a great job capturing their personalities and love for each other.

I love the smiles on their faces in this picture. How sweet and perfect.

Here's Bentley at 2 years and 8 months. He is a stud and we are so obsessed with him. He is officially potty trained now and is such a big boy. He is so determined, ambitious, outgoing, loving, forgiving, accepting and happy. He loves everyone and mostly everything. We sure love him and the little man he has become!

This is little miss Vienna at almost 6 months old. How precious and perfect. She is getting to be such a big girl...it is just so crazy how fast time flies. She is so happy and loves to be loved. She loves to be snuggled, kissed, played with and fed. She sure loves her momma, but she has a very special place in her heart for her daddy. If he walks into the room, all is made right. He can make her smile or laugh no matter what. Bentley is her knight in shinning armour and looks up to him so much. They are best friends and I love to see the two of them together. So inspiring!

My handsome boyfriend. Love him.

Vienna's Blessing Day

Taylor blessed little miss Vienna on Sunday, March 6th. It turned out to be such a beautiful day and she was so beautiful in her white dress! I loved her dress and thought she looked simply precious in it.
My friend snapped a few pictures of her and this one is my absolute favorite. How cute is that little tongue hanging out? She is such a sweetie.
Here is the gang at our house after the blessing.

Vienna had had enough at the end of the day to say the least. It is hard work to be pretty all day and she was ready to get out of her little dress!

We love you silly little Vienna!

My Little Angel

I've been meaning to post more of the pictures that my friend took of Vienna when she was just a week old. Here are a few of my favorites. She is my little angel and I just love her with all of my heart!

INTRODUCING...

VIENNA LEAThis is our sweet, new addition to our family! Baby V joined our family on January 13, 2011 at 3:47 p.m. She weighed 8 pounds and was 20 inches long. She is such a beautiful angel and we are so blessed to have her in our lives. She is doing awesome and is a great eater, sleeper and pooper.

Bentley has adjusted incredibly well with her and loves her so much! He loves to give her lots of hugs and kisses and always asks to hold her. She is the first thing he asks about when he wakes up in the morning, it is really sweet. We are excited to see the two of them grow up together and become best buddies.

My awesome friend Kim came over yesterday and took some beautiful pictures of Vienna. She did an amazing job and I'm so grateful for her! I'll be sure to post the others when I get them, they are going to be so adorable. Thanks Kim!

Welcome to our world Vienna! We are madly in love with you.

Once there was a SNOWMAN!

Our first snowman of the season! Bentley loved every second of it...and so did I. Here's to many more snowman in the future, cheers!!!

Growing

So I have been missing in the blogging world for quite some time, but for good reason that is! I have been working hard growing a little baby girl!!! I am 7 1/2 months pregnant now and Taylor, Bentley and I are all sooooooooooo excited to meet our sweet little one in just a little while! As you can tell in the photo I am HUGE! I've already gained 50 whopping pounds. I complain about being chubby all the time, but to be honest with you...I'm okay with it because I know how worth it is in the end. I know that when I hold that sweet baby girl all the pounds in the world won't matter! I feel so happy and blessed to be the mother to another beautiful child!!!

Bentley has also been growing...and growing fast! He turned 2 in October and is such a big boy. He sleeps in a big boy bed now and talks up a storm. He is the biggest stud of a kid and I am totally in love with him. His current loves are Santa, Nemo, Elmo, and the Polar Express to name a few. He is always on the go and is the biggest busy body you've ever seen! He is ambitious, adventurous and loves everyone!

And then there is this guy! I don't know how I got so lucky, but somehow I did and I am so thankful! He is the best thing that has ever happened to me. He loves me for me and that makes me feel amazing. He is the best husband to me and father to Bentley. We are truly blessed to have him in our lives! Just when I think it couldn't be possible to love him anymore than I already do, I realize that my love for him continues to grow and grow with each passing day!

Nice one Einstein....

Cupcakes

Buddy got to eat a cupcake while we were driving down the freeway today. Good idea, bad idea? It sure made him happy so I say it was a great idea. In fact I let him have two...right in a row!

Who knew that eating two cupcakes could be so exhausting?

I love him!

Fun at Grandma's House

I promised Taylor while he was on his business trip that I would post on our blog once a day to keep him posted on what is happening around here. After these pictures, I doubt he'll ever want me to again. haha. Bentley and I went up to Grandma's tonight and spent some good quality time. We had yummy pizza, watched American Idol, ate lots of treats, and took some pretty hideous pictures with our fake rotten teeth.

My mom cracks me up with her rabbit ears behind my head in this picture. Their teeth looked a lot more real than mine.

Bentley got in on the action too. What a stud. He thought it was so funny when mommy had in her funny looking teeth, he would just bust up. He is my biggest fan and I am his biggest fan!

Grandma sang to Bents from this infamous Cornelius household book. He loved it.

Cute cousins playing and laughing together. Chelsea is so cute to Bentley and loves to tickle and play with him. Too cute!

My little David Hasselhoff

I had to snap a few pics of Bentley tonight before he jumped into bed. He kept unzipping his pj's and rockin' the David Hasselhoff look! It was pretty cute. He loves to ride this little zebra that he has in his room. His favorite thing to do is ride his zebra butt naked as soon as he gets out of the bath. We were lucky enough tonight to get his pj's on first!

This picture is for you honey...Buddy misses you so much and kept saying 'dadda' all day long. We love you and can't wait to see you!

I looked over and saw Bentley and Hoss intently looking at something. Sometimes I wonder if Hoss is a little boy trapped in a dogs body. Him and Bentley act like brothers. They are adorable together.

conGRADulations

Today was a very special day for all of us at the Napierski household...that's right, today Taylor graduated from college!!! conGRADulations my love. I am so incredibly proud of my husband and need to just brag about him for a minute or so...

Tay has been going to school full-time and working full-time simultaneously. That is a huge responsibility, not to mention his many other responsibilities of being a husband, daddy, son, brother, friend, church member, etc. He has been insanely busy and I have not heard him complain one single time. He has tackled every challenge head on and has proven us all so proud!

My Taylor is always positive and ALWAYS keeps a positive, optimistic attitude. He is such a great example to Bentley and I and we are forever grateful and proud of the man that he has become. He is one-in-a-million and I am sure glad that I was lucky enough to snatch him up.

Taylor graduated from the Woodbury School of Business with a Bachelors Degree of Science in Business Management.

Bentley is so proud of his daddy!!!

Our little family.

Taylor and his parents.

Taylor and my parents.

All of us gather to support our big GRADUATE.

This is what Bentley did to keep himself occupied and content during the day. Anyone surprised? Like mother, like son.

These two are my two favorite people in the entire world. I would be lost without them.

Here is Bentz after our brunch gathering and a day full of graduation celebration. He did so great all day and was just plum tuckered out!

Congratulations honey, I am sosososososososososo proud of you. You are an amazing man, husband, and father. You are smart, intellectual, capable, over-achieving, success-driven, humble, giving, loving, forgiving, compassionate, friendly, tender and honest. You have everything it takes to change the world for the better. I love you more than anything and wish you the best of luck in everything.
