A day in the Snow

Bentley has been going crazy wanting to go outside for the past few days, but it hasn't been the best weather conditions for playing in the snow. So finally we had a beautiful snow fall that wasn't too icy or cold. We bundled up and headed outdoors. We managed to find a sled and make our way to the tiny hill between the neighbors house and ours. Bentley loved it. I could hardly get him to come inside.

A boy and his dog

Bentley has always had a love for Alana. But since recently William has shown his own fascination for the puppy, we have seen a little burst of jealousy over the dog. So now they have become cartoon buddies. Alana is a snuggler so she was so comfortable next to Mr. B.

Ice Storm

We try to convince people that living in Iowa has it's perks. Well this isn't exactly one of our better attractions. The picture isn't very clear but if you look closely you can see that the bottom layer is PURE ice topped with icy snow. We have been in a bit of a winter storm this last week. Not the most pleasant way to spend your days, locked up in the house. This is only the beginning.

Is this a mini elf... No it's just William. This is my favorite hat! Sorry about the drool. William is getting a tooth.

What more can I say. I love these super sweeties. No presents can top these two. I Love you boys!

Bentley is all smiles

CHEESE! Bentley is all smiles for Christmas. He amazingly is super smart about the whole deal. He knows where Santa lives and all about the reindeer. He has had to learn the hard way though. When we visited Santa he thought when he told him what he wanted that meant he got to take it home with him right then. So we got it straightened out though. Now he can't wait to see what's in is Santa bag.

Our little gift of Joy

William is so funny. He is still smiling with his whole body. He is getting so big, but he still fits under the tree.

Bentley Redecorating my tree

I really should have taken a before picture of the tree, because it has been completely redecorated. I just left it though because he is still changing things around. It's a good thing we have a little boy tree. He loves the ornaments. They are wagons, cars, planes, trikes, and teddy bears.

Christmas just wouldn't be very fun if Bentley wasn't there to help decorate. He was lucky enough to help Grandma too.

Yummy Cereal

This is Bentley being such a good helper. He loves to feed William. I have even caught him sneeking a few bites for himself. (Yuck)! William Does pretty good. He still spits a ton out, but hey we've got plenty of time to learn. We started him a little early because he wasn't getting satisfied on just a bottle.

The Hillarious Mr. Bentley

So You have to love those moments when kids say the funniest things without meaning to. For example my son picks up everything you say and can say it back VERY CLEARLY. There is no...
"He said ship" to try and cover things up. This isn't one of those moments but I think it's pretty cute.

Mom Says: I am going to the gym later do you want to come.
Bentley : Will there be kids at "Jim's" house.

Mom: You are such a "silly billy"
Bentley: No, I am Bentley Holyoak

Mom; Please don't play with that, you're to big
Bentley; No, you say I to little.

Mom: If you do that again I won't give you anything for Christmas
Bentley: Santa will

Who is who?

Same age, same outfit. Can you tell who is who? I can, but hey I birthed these cuties.
