Bentley Turns 2!

We celebrated Bentley's second birthday a few weeks ago.  The pictures have been stuck on my camera for  quite awhile, but I FINALLY fixed it!  YAY!  

Getting cooled off.  

Rode some four wheelers!

Audrey fell in love with the jeep.  Birthday present?

Meet Cooper!

Birthday boy!!

Love the dolls, Pop.

Uncle Hobo

Beautiful girls!  (Audrey refused to have her picture taken)

Looking good, Audrey!

Love it, Grammie!

Chatter Box...

This week, we discovered that Audrey can read.  Not really, but she can fill in the words from the story that we are reading.  We stumbled upon this a few nights ago, and we were amazed!  Of course, we read her favorite stories over and over, so it makes sense, but we had no clue!  She continues to amaze us each day with the new things she is learning.  

She is also trying to put words together to create a sentence, which can sometimes turn out pretty funny/cute.  While laying in the bed with me one morning, after an early wake up, she saw John leaving and saw his headlights shine through the window.  She created the sentence, "Bye-bye, Daddy.  Truck lights, work."  Another sentence she created was, "TB, (TV) watch, catapilla", because of her love of the Baby Einstein movies.  Really, there isn't a day that she doesn't make me laugh with her silliness.  

Sorry for the grainy picture, but I still haven't resolved the camera/computer issue.  This is Oliver's new favorite resting place, and Audrey decided to join him.  :) So sweet!

Rain, Rain..

Sporting some new rain boots on these yucky, rainy days.  The plus side is they fit!

Fall is in the air ..

Don't you love the cool nights that fall brings? Happy fall y'all!

17 Months...

I fully believe that while technology is supposed to make our lives simpler, it in fact makes our lives a little bit more hectic.  My trusty 10 year old computer is refusing to upload the pictures from my camera.  I spent at least an hour, trying to convince my computer that my camera was actually connected to it, but all of the restarting, bypassing, etc., didn't work.  Maybe it is time for a new, shiny Apple computer? *COUGH-HINT*!

Anyway, Audrey turned 17 months today and celebrated with her "friend", Delaney.  Friend, as in, you play on your side of the room and I will play on mine, but DON'T get in my bubble.



She eventually warmed up to Delaney and let her come within 2 feet of her without saying, "NO!". I think we will call that a success. :)

D is for Daddy...

A few funnies from the past few weeks:

*Yesterday, Audrey was laying against my chest and I was scratching her back.  I stopped scratching for a second and she reached back, grabbed my hand, and put it back on her back.  Oh my goodness, if she isn't John's child!  (A Dennis can't resist a good back scratchin').  

*This week, John and I became, "Mommy and Daddy."  We aren't Momma and Dada-Boo anymore, which makes me a little said.  It's like she suddenly decided that calling us Momma and Dada-Boo was too childish, and big girls don't use baby words.  I'm waiting for the day I become "Mom", in which I'm sure I will shed a few tears.

*Audrey spent the night with Grammie this weekend and while they were playing, an Asian woman come on the TV, and who did Audrey think it was?  MOMMY!  Really? And she was old, and did I mention Asian?  Wow. 

 Audrey is all about, "tacta's" right now, and was all smiles when John let her drive.  (No, we don't own the tractor, we rented a it to start building our shed.)

Trying on Daddy's "glass". 

Our mammoth sunflowers were bigger than Audrey!

*Yes, I am aware that all of the pictures are of John and Audrey, but they are both so cute. 

These Boots...

Audrey loves her new cheetah print rain boots, and must wear them at all times.  Too bad they are a size to big and tend to clash with almost all of her clothes.
