Happy Father's Day JJ!!
I got up and made JJ homemade cinnamon rolls to start of Father's day. So yummy!
A few little gifts... there are pics of Bentley in the wrapping so he could have pictures of her to put in his office at work.
His main present though was a pair of tickets to Stadium of Fire, A.K.A. BRAD PAISLEY CONCERT!! B.P. is JJ's favorite and I kept this a secret from him for months. He was pretty excited!!I know this post is a little late, but better late than never, right....?? Father's day was so fun for me, I don't know about JJ, but I love making surprises for him and doing things he doesn't know about. He hates it, and that's partly why I like it so much :) Anyway... JJ has to be the cutest dad I have EVER EVER seen. I know I'm partial, but he is just so sweet with Bentley. Sometimes I want to cry just watching him with her.
I love how happy he is to help me with her, even when it's 3 in the morning. He always is happy and excited to talk to her and hold her, even if he can't keep his eyes open because he's so tired!
I love how he talks to her... ha ha. It's like they're in their own little world or something. He says she understands because he talked to her like that when she was in my stomach- he was prepping her.
I love that he has probably changed her diaper more than I have- so nice!
I love that while he's at work all day he asks me all the time how she's doing or what she's doing or if she's okay. He makes sure I have the hand sanitizer available whenever anyone comes over and he's really concerned about taking her anywhere. Not even three weeks old and already so protective.... we'll see what happens when she's a teenager- poor girl :) (JK jage)
I loved his comment the other day: "Everyone always said 'Just wait until you have your own kid- you love them more than you ever thought possible.' It's really true. I can't believe that she's ours and I can't believe how much I love her already." This made my heart melt.
I love when he's burping her and her head is just flopping everywhere because she can't stay awake and JJ says, "Bentley, do you think this is a massage??" Ha ha ha... cracks me up every time and I don't even know why.
I love how much he loves her to fall asleep on his chest. It's so stinkin' cute. He said the other day: "I could hold her like this forever."
I love how proud he is of her. He loves carrying in her car seat when we go places and I know he feels (in his words) "so legit" to be a dad. I think he wants her to look cute as much as I do. He was being so picky when we went to the mall the other day to pick out a bow.... sheesh JJ! That's supposed to be the mom's job :) Totally kidding. I love how concerned he is!
I love how sweet he his to Bentley's mom (yep, that's me). Any good father always loves and admires their children's mother, and JJ does such a good job of that. He always asks what he can do to help. He always makes me laugh when I'm tired and stressed and don't know if I'm being a good enough mom. He looks for the good in every situation and makes me feel like everything is going to be okay. Every day I am more and more grateful for him. Every day I realize more and more why Heavenly Father put us in each other's path. I need him every day. He makes my life so good and so happy. I pray every day that he'll be safe and healthy because I honestly don't know what I would do without him. I'm so grateful for the Gospel because it allows me to be with him FOREVER :) And allows our sweet baby Bentley to be with us forever too!
Thanks for all you do Jage. For working so hard every day and going to school and being the best father/husband we could ask for! Bentley and I love you so much.
Love this! My two favorite people in the whole world... sleeping peacefully :)
JJ and Gentry with their baby girls. So sweet!
Our little family. I am soooooooo lucky!!
Earlier this year we went to St. George as sort of a last getaway before the baby comes. Everyone we told called it a "baby moon" whatever that means. I guess people do this a lot? Who knows. Anyway, we stayed at JJ's aunt and uncle's house. We slept in, went out to eat, we sat in the hot tub- well JJ did, got some sun.... it was just fun to get away and not think about work or school or anything. I usually dread the car rides to anywhere, but a lot of times they are one of the funnest parts. JJ sings his heart out to Brad Paisley, we play the "guess who sings this song" game (only with country songs though), and we get really good snacks that we're always excited to munch on. Mine is always twizzlers and JJ loves Dill Pickle sunflower seeds, and he'll get some kind of chocolate along the way.
This first picture isn't the most attractive, but I had to put it on here because it's evidence of my one true craving since I've been pregnant: ROOT BEER. I just can't get enough of it. I've never really had a thing for soda. I don't dislike it, but I'd usually rather have lemonade or something. Now, when I drive past a gas station it's a battle to decide whether or not to stop and get a drink! I can't believe it. I don't ever stop but I've gotten close! I wonder if she'll love root beer because of me....
We drove a little ways to watch Jaxon, JJ's little brother, play baseball. I look really annoyed to be there but I was actually enjoying being outside. I think I had gotten mad at JJ over something about McDonald's breakfast.... so dumb!! So that's probably part of why I look annoyed. I was glad we went to watch him. Jaxon is so sweet!
We tried this frozen yogurt from a place called Menchie's and we LOVED it. Maybe it's because we never get frozen yogurt and maybe it's because everything tastes better when you're on vacation and not worrying as much about how much you're spending :) Either way, I love the picture below because I think it describes our personalities. As much as I love chocolate, I can't get away from the fruity flavors- I think this was a mix of strawberry and peach. Kind of boring but sweet and tangy- like me I guess. JJ loves his chocolate, and his also has layers of butterfinger and something else mixed in- which describes him: enticing to look at (at least I think so- ha ha) and a mix of whatever floats his boat that day. But of course his is always better than mine.... even if mine really tasted better than his by the end of our debate he would have me convinced that his is better, just because he's so good at getting people to think like him.... sometimes I hate this, but it makes me laugh at the same time. I love him- even if he does make me think his frozen yogurt is better than mine!!
Valentine's Day... I can't believe I'm blogging about Valentine's Day and it's June tomorrow. Oh well, I'll do it to keep the memories I guess :) It's our 2 year tradition to go to Teppenyaki for V-day. Who knows if we'll have money for things like this next year without me working... so we enjoyed it while we can. We love it. I eat as much as I can and JJ eats his plate plus the rest of mine. We look forward to it all day! You might not be able to see my stomach, but my face definitely looks bigger- couldn't hide being pregnant anymore at this point. 
Ace is my 4-year-old nephew, and honestly one of the cutest kids I know. Ace's best friend in the whole world is JJ. Sometimes we'll walk into their house, Ace will run up to JJ, take him by the hand and ask "Jage, we're still best friends, right?" He'll ask his mom if he can text JJ and he always wants to be right next to him whenever we're with him. It's pretty cute. For his birthday we decided instead of giving him a present we would take him on a date. Here are a few highlights from the night...
His favorite color is blue so we took him to Macey's and got Blue Raspberry dipped ice cream cones. He liked it, but he just liked the fact that he had the same thing as JJ.
As we were walking into Macey's Ace asked, "Hey Jage, can we get something from the drink giver?" We didn't really know what he was talking about but then he pointed to the soda machine. So we let him get something from the "drink giver" on the way out. Seriously, his mind works in such funny ways sometimes... ha ha :)
We ended the night by going to the dollar store. He got to pick out 4 things since he was turning 4 years old!! He almost fell asleep in the car on the way home- I guess we wore him out. I can't wait to do fun things like this with our own little girl, but there is something special about being an Aunt and Uncle that just makes it so fun. Maybe it's because you can sugar them up and then give them back!!
I got up and made JJ homemade cinnamon rolls to start of Father's day. So yummy!
