~Christmas in UT 2011~

 All the brother's and Devin. Trying to get a picture of the brothers together is hilarious. 5 grown men have a hard time looking at the camera!!

 Ben and Lance (and Jimmy).

 Austin is a Cowboy's fan, so he can't possibly have his picture taken with his Uncle's Redskin's sweater!

 Bentley and Grandma, so sweet.

 Bentley loves his Papa!

Ben was really excited to get socks for Christmas!

 Grandma gave all the Grand Kid's watches. Bentley thought his first watch was pretty cool!

 Bentley was such a lovey, huggy boy!

 Ben with Aunt Vera and Uncle Mel. They got him that UT sweater and he loved it!

He loves his new watch!

 Bentley and Uncle Lance.

Christmas morning! Santa spoiled Bentley! He must have been a good boy!

My Mom and I on Christmas Day. It was good to see everyone!

 Mr. Diego, I just love my nephews!

 We went to Oma and Opa's Christmas Day. It was a quick trip home, but it was so worth it!!

 The Hood's joined us on Christmas Day. Miss Ava looking so pretty!

Diego was in love with Bentley, he couldn't stop hugging him!! Hope we can come home next year!

Gingerbread House making and Our Christmas Card Photo!

 Mmmm Bentley did a great job making his gingerbread house! Daddy was a big helper to build the house. Then we all decorated it!

 Bentley just wanted to eat it! Except when he tasted the candy he didn't really like it. Thank goodness gingerbread house candy is not the tastiest candy!

This was our Christmas card photo shoot. Bentley found this cute elf hat and well wanted to wear it for pictures. I think its pretty festive!

Thanksgiving 2011

 We spent Thanksgiving at Uncle Tom's and Aunt Holly's!

  

                                       

 We had a good time with Tom, Holly, Stevie, Janae' and us. Bentley loved the cupcakes that Aunt Holly had!

Bentley made this cute little turkey hat at preschool. It was about 70 degree's on Thanksgiving this year. Couldn't ask for more beautiful weather!

Can't forget Halloween!

Batman!

Bentley and his buddy Rylan at a trunk or treat.

Miss Addison, she's my good friend Desiree's daughter.

Anna and Bentley.

Bentley had a fun filled Halloween. We celebrated all weekend. He first went to a trunk or treat with his buddy Rylan, then we went to the Manitou Springs annual Coffin Races, and then he went trick or treating with Anna Banana. He loved being Batman!

"I Never get to do the Dishes!"

I went to do the dishes today and Bentley said, "I never get to do the dishes, can I help you?" I said of course! Someday getting him to do the dishes will be impossible. He washed every last dish and I loaded. We make a good team. I just had to document that there once was a time when he begged to help with the dishes! Thanks for helping Mommy today!

The Time of His Life!

Ben had the opportunity to go to a Bronco's game a few weeks ago and he had the time of his life! He says to me wouldn't it be cool if we lived in DC so I could go to Redskin's games? So don't be surprised if we retire there someday! I love that he wore his Charger's shirt to represent SD, but then he changed into a Bronco's shirt. Peer pressure got to him. He went with my friend's Dad and we can't thank him enough. Ben was in heaven for a day, seriously!

They had the most awesome seats. I was so happy he could go. What a way to end his vacation. Calling in sick, "anytime" for a football game!

Better Late than Never! UT and B-Day's!

Ben and Lance's Birthday cakes! The twins were in love with their cakes. Ben's niece works at Sam's and she made them. Pretty cool for the football lover!

Of course Ben's cake is better looking!

Bentley loves helping Daddy with the candles.

So glad Ben and Lance could celebrate their Birthday together!Happy 32nd Birthday's you two!

While we were in UT we went to a Utes game! Ben's niece's boyfriend plays for the Utes so they hooked us up with tickets to their homecoming game. It was so much fun! Lot's of school pride made the game fun even though we lost.

Brittany and I.

Of course we have to ride the Front Runner while in town! It has always been one of Bentley's favorite activities! We went to the Gateway and ate at the Brazilian restaurant there. Ben loved it!

Bentley saw lots of friends while in UT. He was so excited to go with Ava to the Dinosaur Park.

Cute little cousin's! Best buddies!

We also spent a day with Brock and Brody and Ryan! It was fun to see Ryan and let them play.

They were having fun making mustaches with their ice cream cones. Little stinkers!

Seriously I don't have any pic's of Bentley and Diego, I think its because Diego's too fast! I have some adorable video's of them. They really hit it off this trip. Diego thinks Bentley is so funny and he loves to follow him. I was able to spend time with Mr. D and he loves me too! We were at the store with Diego and my bro. Diego was messing around so Michael put him in the cart. Diego looks at me hysterical and says "Taaawwwnnny!" Imagine him crying with his arms out. So priceless! That kid cracks me up, every time he talks he yells. So glad we were able to visit! Until next time!
