thanksgiving week.

this year, for the first time since Bentley was 5 months old, we didn't go down to kansas to spend the holiday with Shawns side of the family. we are back to an every-other-year type schedule. traveling down there is super fun! but so is staying home. we started the week with two basketball games, one at home, one 2 hours away (for the first time this season, B & I traveled with the team!) and we ended the week picking out our Christmas tree & celebrating Shawns birthday!

sunday before thanksgiving. i never want to forget how Bentley told me at least 5 times throughout the day how pretty i looked in my green dress.

on the road with the basketball team. you can only imagine how excited B was to be front seat of a charter bus.

the morning after. SO tired!

gluten free pumpkin pie!

Bentley got to sit at the kids table.

the big kids table!

the cousins who were able to come!
the day after thanksgiving, on the hunt for our tree!
bentley thought this looked like a good one.


2013 tree!



it's so perfect!

i don't have any pictures with the rest of the family who came kansas to be here for thanksgiving/shawns parents were here too! so we got to have a fun birthday party for him on saturday! i was so excited to have a good excuse to make summer's reeces peanut butter cups

last week...

we...

(light up tree we brought back with us from kansas {yes, we have 2 trees}) "this is harding! i mean, this is hard work!"

found some valentines candy in with the christmas

set up the nativity! this is one of my most favorite things.

went & cut down our christmas tree!

he loved riding in this wagon


totally reclined, pointing out trees for us to look at


you wouldn't believe it, but this was actually a cold day!

we found our tree for christmas 2012!

(caroline sent me this picture from puggles) ms. sally: bentley what is something you are thankful for? B: COWS!

hanging the first ornament on grandmothers tree!


cousin jedidiah was with us that day. he loved reading books with aunt beth!

and rolling around on grandmothers bed!

friday morning started off bright & early with a 6+ hour roadtrip with the basketball team

we made it to barclay college---ready for the game!

he has pregame down. prayer & then national anthem.

and apparently knows how to peel his own oranges.

and cheer on his team.

a good win for our team--and a happy birthday to the coach!

"lets play tennis, but i don't have a...paddle?" a racket. "oh, racket. here's a leaf!"

what happened at grandma's...

isn't going to stay at grandma's.
cousin jedidiah has a shirt that has the saying what happens at grandma's, stays at grandma's we had bentley say it & it became his theme for the week. he even saw the shirt going into the wash a few days later & "knew" what it said. (i use quotes not because he doesn't actually know, but i'm pretty sure he isn't actually reading it like he would like us to believe.)
shawn spent the week leading the clinics at the camp witness basketball camp.
bentley & i were both a little under the weather, but we (literally) played through & had fun spending time at grandma & grandpas.
bentley woke up early every morning ready to play with the "tids" (grandmas daycare kids).
it was amazing to see him sit & eat lunch, drink milk from a cup, & play on his own. 
three things that never happen at home.
the week went fast, & we wrapped up the weekend at the burwell rodeo.
its a fun rodeo, & our 3rd year in a row attending!
i couldn't resist, here is the link to his first rodeo.
and, just like three years ago, we have our sarpy county fair & rodeo this week/weekend!
the business craziness fun never stops at our house.
proof that he knows how to eat lunch like a big kid.


whos kid is that running around in their unders yelling naked baby?! mine.

bath time with diah didn't last long

pool time!
