The precious moments of Life!

We are fast approaching one full year with Bentley. This little sweetheart has only added to the love, laughs and cuddles in our home.Before I had a little girl I dreamed of what life would be like with a little girl but they were no where close to reality...in an amazing way. My baby girl is funnier, sweeter and more precious then I could have imagined. She is growing and learning so fast that I find it a little bitter-sweet that I really no longer have a little baby girl. I wish that she could just stay tiny and sweet forever. Good thing another little one is on the way:o) Here are a few of her funnier moments lately:

This is how her hair usually looks when she first wakes up. I can't complain because I'm just glad she has a full thick head of hair. We will probably keep the hair detangler company in business single-handedly here in a short while! She may look like her Daddy but there is no escaping the Jones' tongue. When she is in deep concentration her little tongue sneaks out. Way cute and funny!

Having 2 older brothers I was worried I would have a little tom-boy but she is ALL girl. She has started picking up stuffed animals and giving them loves and kisses. Not the best picture...I caught her in mid-blink.

I have to admit that this specific moment made me cry. Almost one year ago Bentley fit INSIDE this little hat and now it fits her head:o(

Jarron says that I have early nesting syndrome... he might be right. I put up all our Christmas decorations inside last week and this weekend we put up the lights and decorations outside.

Busy, Busy, Sick, Sick, Sick!

My first trimester hasn't been an easy one and I even caught a horrible stomach flu that kept me in bed for 4 days! There has been one thing after another so here is a quick overview of the Langston's the last couple of weeks.

HALLOWEEN!

The kids at Boo At The Zoo. I was in bed with the stomach flu this weekend. The boys wanted to be ghosts so my mom through some costumes together the night before.

Cayton actually enjoyed the slimy mess of pumpkin carving this year.

Ayden didn't.

And Bentley just wasn't quite sure of anything.

Cayton was into ghosts as you probably can tell. (Thanks papa for carving!)

Ayden just had a rough night:)

Actual Halloween night. Angels, monkeys, thomas and scooby oh my! Jarron was an angel at work and the girls he works with were devils. As you can see the boys are not ghosts but it is a long story...so we won't go there.

Avery and Bentley. Avery was a strawberry.

Halloween was a success!!

BENTLEY IS 11MONTHS!

Thursday night we headed North for the annual thanksgiving/birthday/hunting celebration with grandma in the mountains and stayed till Monday. We were hoping for some snow but just got rain. We all had a great time and loved seeing all our family again.

Bentley's 11 month cupcake day celebrated at Great Grandma's in the mountains.

CAYTON'S 5th BIRTHDAY!

All Cayton wanted to do for his 5th birthday was celebrate it and open presents at Grandma's in the mountains and go to Planet Kid with Daddy and Ayden and eat pizza so that is what we did!

Daddy had Tuesday off because of Veteran's Day so we spent the afternoon at Planet kid

PIZZA!!

I had never given her the chance but we found out that Bentley can use a straw!

And last but not least this was my first attempt at 2 ponytails. She even sat there and just let me do it while she smiled at herself in the mirror!

I also had a birthday somewhere in all the mix of things and had a wonderful dinner date with Jarron. It was very relaxing and just what I needed!

Pumpkins and Snowmen!?

Last Friday night to celebrate my sister's birthday we were going to go out to eat and then go to the corn maze. However, a little before dinner it started to SNOW! On October 10th! We decided to go to dinner anyway and by the time we got home there was enough snow to make a little snowman. It is crazy that in the same day we went to the pumpkin patch got pumpkins for Halloween AND built a snowman!!

Poor Cayton's hands were freezing and the snowman didn't get any arms because there were no sticks without leaves still on them.

Pumpkin Time!

As it turns out the coldest day of the season so far is the day we are going to the pumpkin patch with Cayton and Ayden's pre-school!! We didn't complain though...we dressed for the occasion, went fast and had a fun time!

Bentley's first time in winter wear...by the time we were done with her the poor thing looked like a pink Stay Puft marshmallow man and could barely move her arms! Ayden saying, "I did it!" coming out of the straw maze Cayton having fun getting lost in the straw maze Poor Bentley thinking this is ridiculous Ayden's perfect pumpkin he picked himself

Who's ready for a warm hayride?

All the cute munchkins in Heather's Feathers

Bentley and her first pumpkin!

Can it get better?

I don't like to brag but... I have a wonderful husband, two handsome boys and the sweetest little girl and I ask can life get any better? My answer: Yes!

Before sceptics start to question...is she just putting on weight or is she pregnant? I would like to say: YES! This is me 8 weeks along. We are indeed adding another sweet spirit to our family with a due date of May 18th. And the answer to probably your second question: Yes, it was planned! It has just been so fun (most of the time) to have the boys so close that I wanted another so that Bentley might have the same relationship. They will be 17 months apart where the boys are 15. If I can do 15 I can do 17! We are so excited and can't wait for this bundle to arrive!

10 months!

Another month come and gone...sweet miss Bentley has really blossomed this month. Her personality has really started to shine. After having two boys (that I just adore and love to death) I really appreciate the soft sweetness of a little girl. She cuddles and gives endless hugs. She now gives the widest wettest kisses that make my heart melt. She has boycotted baby food and only eats what everyone else is eating. Her new favorite food is potato soup. My new favorite sound is Bentley laughing at her brothers! In the car Bentley sits in the middle captain chair facing the back row where the boys sit. While driving around they play peek-a-boo and other games with her that get her laughing really hard that it makes everyone laugh. The boys just adore her and would do anything for her! She crawls!!!! Her favorite song is Popcorn Popping when she gets to do the eyes.

A little rain never hurt anybody

Saturday was the St. Luke's Women's fitness celebration and I have to say that we have been a pretty faithful group for the last few years but the rain and lightning was a little much this year. We signed up in the stroller division because we had three strollers to push this year but as you can see not one stroller made it. In fact we took this picture moments before we turned around called the husbands back to rescue us out of the rain and we headed for breakfast. The good intentions were there but the rain was a little much especially for me who wore my flip flops down:o)

Jessica, Shawna, me, Mitzi and Tori Charlie, Shawna, me, Mitzi and Tori Here we are at IHOP! What a wonderful dry breakfast it was!
