My Kiddos

We've been blessed with some wonderful kids, and I just wanted to give some updates on them!
Deacon had his blessing in church when he was about 2 months old, as we waited for my parents to get home from Fiji. Jeff gave him a beautiful blessing and then we had dinner at our house where lots of family joined. He is growing so quickly and we've noticed he is quite the flirt. He will smile at anybody who gives him attention, and not just your regular smile, but a cute, shy kind of smile. My favorite experience with him was when we took him to the swimming pool and he fell asleep in a floaty! He loves water right now, and I hope that will continue on. He is really adorable, but definitely can be a handful! Right now he is either teething or growing, which means he loves to be held all the time and stay up in the night. Not so fun! I'm hopeful this stage will pass quickly. 

Bentley is such a great girl! She had quite the change when Deacon came along and has handled it so well. I feel bad sometimes because I use up a lot of my patience on Deacon and have little left for her, but I do my best to make her feel special. The other day I decided to leave Deacon with my mom and take her out to see Finding Dory. It was so fun to go on a mommy daughter date, and I look forward to lots of those in the future. We also love going to the zoo, library, and hanging out with cousins and friends. We went to heritage park to see Thomas the Train and had such a good time with the Ady's. Even though Thomas was a little scary! Bentley loves playing with other kids, but with adults it takes a little longer for her to feel comfortable. She can definitely be a little chatterbox though and LOVES music! Singing and dancing are her favorite things. She also giggles alot, and I love hearing it! Let's not forget that she loves to play with Deacon, which can be so adorable, and also annoying sometimes! I love my girl!!

Also Bentley has a really cute best friend named Lucy Bennett. Here are a few photos of them together that Lena took. The best thing about this is that me and Lena were best friends at their age. If only we had pics like these to compare! SO CUTE!!
