Bentley

So here is our newest addition to our family. When we decided to get Abbey I promised Todd that someday he could have a bigger dog. But there was no way he was going to be able to have one while we lived in Twin. So about three weeks before we moved to Malta there was a benefit dinner out to Malta and someone was giving away Lab puppies. I felt so bad I told Todd that if we lived in Malta already he could have gotten one but I didn't know what we would have done with until we moved so we didn't get one. So for the last month or so I have been thinking a lot about getting Todd a puppy for his birthday. Well on Monday we finally got one. So here is BENTLEY the newest member of our family. He is so small right now and super cute I am just afraid what he is going to look like once he gets bigger. I am so grateful that we have a lot of room for him to run around outside. And I just really hope that all my flower beds survive this little terror:)     

Happy Birthday

Wow.. I am so far behind on blogging it is crazy. The last couple of months it just feels like all we have been doing in running running running. We have had a lot of Birthdays lately. My little sister's birthday was August 19th. I can not believe what a beautiful young women she has become. She is such a wonderful Mother and Wife. Happy Birthday sis..  

 

Then on September 5 we had two birthdays. My amazing mother and Lindsay's little girl Ainsley turned 1. I am so grateful for the Amazing mother that I have. She is truly a one of the sweetest and most caring people I know. She has such a strong testimony of the gospel and is so close to her Father in Heaven and Savior Jesus Christ. I am so grateful for her example each and every day.   

 

This little girl is serious the cutest thing I have ever seen. She is the funniest little girl and her personality is the sweetest thing. I love you Ainsley.

 

 I haven't blogged in a long time. We have been very busy trying to take advantage of the warm weather that I am sure wont be here much longer. We went up to Lake Cleveland this last Saturday night my mom has been wanting to go up there all summer and we finally made it up there for her Birthday (it was a few days late but at least we got there haha). The guys took their fishing poles and rods to do a little fishing, but they didn't have much luck at all. The rest of us hung out around the camp fire playing sneakers and slammers:) It was a fun little trip I love being up in the mountains. I love being surrounded by the Beauty that our Father in Heaven has blessed us with. I have also been canning peaches. I have never canned anything before so this was a new experience. But luckily everything went amazing and we have some peaches to add to our food storage:)

SHE IS ONE!!

Lindsay asked me to take some pictures of Ainsley since she was turning "ONE". I can not believe this little girl is already one. This last year has gone by so fast and and she is growing into the sweetest little girl, She is so cuddly. I love you sissy.. The pictures turned out pretty good considering she was sick and not feeling good at all. We also took some of her with a birthday cake and she took too big of a bite one time so Lindsay had to take some of the cake out of her mouth and she got sooo mad it was the cutest thing ever:) We also had to take a few of Madison to keep her happy.. ENJOY!!
