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.
