over the weekend

we survived the car trip! not only did we survive, we thrived. bentley could not have been better! activities included car seat toys, the pacifier (which is a once in a blue moon occurrence), reading books, & when he thought he was about out of options...i got out my laptop & he watched Peanuts cartoons for 20 minutes! it was beyond cute. and to top it all off...he slept for the rest of the time! what a guy.
he didn't want to show his excitement
 
sometimes it works better if we both hold it
 
 


 once we got to grandmas, it was a breeze. bentley loved hanging out! he even loved sleeping! on saturday morning, he woke up at 6:15, ate, went back to sleep.....he woke up again (i assumed it was about 8:15) so we stumbled downstairs to change his diaper...i was surprised kathy wasn't sleeping in, oh wait. it was 11:15! so we had a nice, relaxing saturday.

bentley loved sitting & talking to grandma. to bad i couldn't capture his hilarious smiles he was giving her!
this is the funnies picture bentley has to date. so feel free to laugh.
some of us relaxed, others worked. i won't name names.
 
these days, bentley is really loving watching football with his dad!
and this is what the ride home looked like! we had a great time while in atkinson (shawn & i even tossed the football around for a while). and on monday, i even got everything put away (including the giant box of baby clothes we brought home). hurray for a successful road trip with a 3 month old!

i have to say that i also laughed O.L. before i read that i had permission to.

i wanna go home so badly! just looking at the living room made me want to be sitting in the recliner drinking pop. it couldn't be more relaxing!

does B have two "what happens at grandma's..." shirts??

he does have two w.h.a.g.s.a.g's shirts. so what better time to wear them!? i drank wild cherry pepsi.

i feel like that would have been a very hard string of letters to type!
