Happy Anniversary!!!!

Happy 2 year anniversary!!
Seriously, I married the cutest guy in the world.
Just look at him:

I love my Jage more than anything in the world.
He is my best friend and the cutest dad ever!!!
Sheesh, 2 years already...

Halloween

How stoked was JJ to get to grow his beard out....??!!
He had to if we were going to come off as legit farmers, right?
Who knew that beard was red..

Is she not the cutest little cow you've ever seen???
Love her and her big cheeks!

Melton cousins.

Mitchell cousins.

Our sweet baby Bents!

Some pics of the cutest baby around...

She looks like a bow without her bow, but who
wants bows on all the time? I don't want jeans on
all the time so.... maybe it's the same feeling..??

Nana with Bents.

Jogging with mama.

Getting a little more mobile.

JJ does the weirdest things with her... ha ha ha.

Go Cougs!

She can pull some crazy faces just like her daddy.

She wants to be just like him.

Favorite toy: JJ names him Mr. Mr.

Stinkin' cute. Gotta love those tight leggings on chunky legs!

Minnesota Trip

So fun to be with my family as we took our yearly trip to
Pipestone Minnesota; a.k.a. home sweet home!!

JJ took my little brother and a few of my nephews on a little road trip
to the Twins/Red Sox game in the Twin Cities. They even hit up the Mall of America...

Mall of America.

My Avery, Garrett and Austin convinced Jage that he better get a
Twins hat if he was going to wear that jersey at a home Twins game.
JJ liked the ideas because this way he looked good no matter who won!
Just his style...

So glad this is not my last name!

Enjoying the lake at Mindy and Rob's house.

Lukey and I.

Bentley :)

Cutest nephews around!

Bentley and Dodge crashed outside in our make-shift sun blocker.

Nana and Bents.

Pipestone National Monument...

My dad LOVES being out on his lawn mower!

Class game night. Crazy but fun. Seriously epic that my dad actually played though :)

Jage and Coby sportin' their sweet hats that my dad so thoughtfully gave them... ha ha!

Pics by our pond.

Little bro holding my baby... a little weird. Never thought that day would come.

Bags game. Must be played or it's not a trip home.

Rylee Allison Bean- what a cutie!

I took these pics of my friend's baby a few weeks ago. She is a sweetheart. We love the Bean family :) Rylee and Bentley are best friends already...

My Life Could Not Be Sweeter

Never been happier :)

Happy Father's Day to my best friend

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!!
