Saturday was our 6th anniversary. Brandon didn't have to work so that was nice. We took the morning slow, then after my mom was done with her weddings, we went and had dinner at Brio Italian grill. It was nice they gave us a gift for our anniversary saying thanks for choosing them to celebrate our day. Thought that was cool. I LOVE that place. It was nice to go just the two of us. We are so use to having our kids there so we don't get to sit and eat and talk like that very often. It was wonderful! We then walked over to the cheese cake factory and got there 30th anniversary cheese cake and ate it in the car. It was yummy. Again it was nice to just be us and talk. We then went and saw the avengers movie in 3D. It was a really good movie. We enjoyed the night so much. Little did we know my mom had an interesting night with Bentley throwing up all over in his crib. This is no surprise because it happens ALL the time. But I felt bad that my mom had to deal with that. She had sent me a little text to let me know that it happened. It was at the end of the movie she was so sweet and had us finish the movie then come home to him. What a good Nana she is. Brandon and I just really enjoyed ourselves. I can't believe it's been 6yrs. We have had a crazy road. Love you Hun. Happy anniversary! Here are a few pictures throughout the day;)

Oops I forgot
So as I was trying to catch up my post I noticed I missed a few thing. Two of them I really feel like, I want to post about them anyways even though one is really past due... I forgot to post about when the kids went to see Santa. This was the first time for Bentley. They both did great. Adelynne has always cried so this time she told me "mommy I promise I won't cry, I will be a big girl and smile" well she did it. I could tell she was so nervous. I could see it in her face. You better hurry and take the picture so I can get down before I cry. She was so proud of herself it was so sweet. I was surprised again by her;). Bentley was fine. He did look up at him trying to figure out who was holding him but it didn't bother him at all. now as for the Easter bunny Bentley wasn't happy about sitting on his lap. He was screaming and trying to get away. The poor Easter bunny was trying so hard to not let him fall. He was moving all over the place haha. Adelynne loved the Easter bunny. She was happy to take a picture with him. They gave them some cute masks after they took the picture. Adelynne loves it Bentley on the other hand not so much. So anyways. I just wanted to make sure and post about this because it was a first for Bentley and Adelynne was such a big girl. Here are the pictures...

Easter and a birthday
Easter was really a good day. It was also my birthday that day. Really I love to be with my family so in a way it is a great thing to have my birthday on a holiday every once and a while. It is a little crazy but it is still great. The day before a few of the grandkids came over to Nana and Papa's house to color Easter eggs. Adelynne couldn't wait for everyone to come. She was so excited about it. She had a great time. Her first egg was green of course. Bentley loved it too. I found a great idea on pinterest where you put the egg in a wisk for little kids so they can dip it in and out of the cup. It worked great. He loved it. He made a very big mess but had a great time doing it:) The night before the Easter bunny had packed eggs with candy and left some great gifts. Like always Adelynne was so excited to wake up to it all. Bentley on the other hand because he has been sick and still not all the way over it was having a hard morning and day. He cried alot. He just wanted to eat breakfast and didn't care that he had a cute outfit to wear to church and a basket full of toys and treats. Poor kid. Anyways we went to church and had a great Sunday. Then came home and went to the Gregorys for some lunch and their first Easter egg hunt of the day. Adelynne got SOOO much stuff. She is the oldest of the grandkids and we didn't have everyone there so she got just about all of it. Bentley didn't really care so much about it but liked to be outside for the most part. He didn't get his nap so he was a little on the cranky side and was cranky anyways. But we made the most of it. Then we had to go to some other house randomly but it was a little drive so both kids got a little nap that was really needed. Then we went to the Thompson Easter egg hunt. They do it a little different then the Gregorys and hide real eggs plus they have money eggs. Its fun that both families do it differnt so they get different things at each house. Then we had a good dinner. I also got to blow out candles at both houses. So I had two birthday cakes. At one house I turned 27 and at the other I turned 3:) I think I will take the 3:) anyways it was a good day. I just love to spend time with family!

St. Patrick's day
St. Patrick's day we went all out because green is Adelynne's favorite color. So we did everything in green. Brandon thought I was crazy because he never did anything like this for St. Patrick's day. It made me sad. I just remember how my mom made each and every holiday big or small special in some way and I want to do the same for our kids. So after the kids went to bed the leprechaun went to work. We made little foot prints for a green mess trail to find the pot of gold. He turned our milk green and even used our potty and forgot to flush:) That crazy little leprechaun pees green! Adelynne couldn't believe it haha. He drew on our pictures on the wall. He gave us funny faces. He left the biggest mess trail that ended at the pot of gold. He turned all the chairs in the house upside down and left little foot prints all around with gold and green coins. It was a great big mess. Lets just say it was fun to make but not all that fun to clean up haha. When Adelynne woke up she couldn't believe the mess she found in her room. She called for us to come get her. She then followed the trail to the pot of gold. She loved it all. We then had a green breakfast, green waffles and green milk. Then we dressed up in all green and then went out for some dinner. We even saw the Easter bunny that day:) it was a fun filled day. The kids loved it! Adelynne said that it was one of her favorite holidays:) The leprechaun had success:)

Bentley's first birthday
Really is it true...Bentley is one... I can't believe it has already been a year. His first year has gone by so fast for me, It kind of makes me sad. He is such a sweetheart. He can always make me smile any time of the day. He can be so goofy and he knows it. He will even laugh at himself. He is not walking yet. He wants nothing to do with it. He just likes to be carried and he can get where he wants to go fast with crawling. He is 13 months while I am posting about this and just is going along at his own pace. He does talk alot. It seems like he is trying to say new words every day. His most common words to date are: doggy, daddy, Addi, papa, mama, cheese, bye, uho, uhuh, yeah. I am sure there are more but that is all I can think of right now. He has the cutest voice. It just melts my heart. He loves to play with his sister. But doesn't like how she takes toys away from him and boy does he let you know about it. He loves anything Mickey Mouse, He loves to draw, play with toy cars, going outside, bubbles, and most of all eating:). He sleeps through the night, most nights, which I love:) He still has a hard time with milk products but for cheese. He is great at making himself gag. Its bad... anyways he is a smart boy and tries to communicate as much as he can to us. Its fun to watch him learn so quickly and someday he will walk:)
For his birthday we did a Mickey Mouse theme because he LOVES Mickey Mouse. I looked all over town for this big Mickey Mouse balloon. I couldn't find it anywhere. I was so frustrated. So the day of his birthday when I went to get a few things at the grocery story for the party I was walking out and noticed in the corner of my eye this Mickey Mouse balloon. I just wanted to scream. I was so excited! And I even got the last one:) Doesn't it always work out that way? I couldn't believe I found it and in all places too. Anyways we waited for them to blow it up and it was so big that I had to put it in the front seat of my car. Well Addi said that I needed to hold his hand. So I was driving down the road with Mickey Mouse sitting next to me and holding his hand. I came to a stop light and this lady looked at me like I was crazy. It was really funny. Adelynne laughed the whole way home. So we went home with Mickey Mouse and decorated for the party. I know I drive Brandon crazy with all the stuff I do for the birthdays but I want to make it special so I go all out. I did like how it turned out. I loved his cake. Again we had Dawna decorate a cake for us. She is amazing. I always love how they turn out. Everyone came to celebrate. It was a great first birthday for him. He got so many presents. He really didn't care about opening them but when he found out there were toys inside he got more into it. He enjoyed his cake. Like I said this boy likes to eat. He is good at making messes with his food. He really enjoyed it. So I think he enjoyed his first birthday. Happy birthday big boy. We love you!

| opening gifts |
For his birthday pictures I wanted to do where he digs into his cake because of how much he loves to make a mess with food:) They turned out super cute and he loved it. Then I think he ate too much and his tummy started to hurt because he just started to cry out of nowhere haha poor guy. but I LOVE them all. There is alot because I can't pick just one:)
The day after he had a doctor appointment. He was not happy about that one. I think he remembered from last time. Anyways he pretty much cried the whole time. Adelynne had her 4 year appointment also. She did great. She told me that she would be so brave this time and not cry. She has said that before but always would end up crying. Well this time she proved me wrong and didn't cry at all. She was so excited to see how much she grew in a year. She answered all the questions and was just a big girl! They both are growing well and are healthy. Good job kiddos!:)
Here are a few other cute pictures of this handsome boy. Because I slacked so bad on blogging I will just let you see what he has been up to in the last little while. :)
