Bentley's Baby Blessing

Yesterday we had Bentley blessed. It was such a nice day! Despite our church starting at 8am, almost all of our family was able to make it! After the block, we had a yummy lunch at our house. Thank you to everyone for helping with the food! Bentley was a doll the whole time and enjoyed all the attention. I'm not being cute, he really did love all the attention he got... I'm pretty sure he's convinced that we don't hold him enough. Here's a few pictures from our day. He was cranky and ready for a nap by the time we thought to take some pictures of him in his blessing outfit; we'll have to try some again sometime when he's not so tired!

Driving to Grandma's House

It's frustrating when my kids throw tantrums, but on occasion it is more funny than annoying. This was one of those times. On an hour drive to Grandma's house Taft, who usually does fine in the car, had had enough. He was being a stinker; pulling his arms out of the straps and trying to get out. He was so cute I couldn't help but laugh at him (and take pictures). He didn't like being laughed at. He was sick of his car seat and he wanted out now! Can't you tell?!

Proud Big Brothers

A Family of Five!

Here is our latest family picture. I think it turned pretty great. I'm pretty proud of the outfits I pulled together... without buying anything (well, my dress was new, but it was a "because I just had a baby and don't fit into anything" purchase.)! I don't think we'll ever be able to get our boys to smile "normal"... but I think I like real life pictures more anyway. Don't they just look darling? It has really helped me today to sit down and look at these handsome boys. They don't feel like my little sweethearts today! They are such sweet little boys, but they are exhausting! Taft and Brigham get into everything; I've been spending my whole morning going from kid to kid to kid, cleaning up the messes they made and calming a very fussy baby. On top of that, our phone won't work, I'm sick, and I can't figure out how to fix this post so that the font is not blue or underlined! (sorry about that, I know it's annoying!) Oh well, this terrible day just means tomorrow will most likely be much better. That's how it goes for me.
