Davis County Fair

The last time Bryce and I went to the Davis County Fair we had only been dating for a few weeks and we went to the rodeo. After 7 years, we finally decided to go back and it was a blast. Our good fiends Scott and Brittney came with us which made it even more fun. Our motto is usually the more the merrier!
Look at us! We almost all put our heads in the right places. Bryce holding a balloon with a big grin on his face and Bentley in the suit and tie with a serious face actually is more appropriate anyway.
 Scott took Bentley around to most of the animals and he loved it. Those two wandered around in their own little world.
 He he :) Look at the cute couple.

 Oh wait, this is the real couple.....
 There was an area with a clown who was doing free balloon animals. So this is how that went...

-Aubrey-"I will stand in line and wait and you guys take the kids and play with the snakes until it's our turn." So I wait in line for 20-25 minutes with the other kids.

-Bryce- Great! I will go to the kids table and make my own little twirly design! Look at me!

 It's our turn! The kids were fascinated by the funny clown and what he was making for them. Jayda got a silly hat and Bentley got a fishing pole with a fish on the line.

 
-Aubrey- "Let's go over here in this grassy area and take a pic.
-Bentley- I think I'll sit down in this pointy grass....
 

 POP!
So the 25 minute wait for a balloon that lasted 30 seconds was a bust, but I got a cute pic out of it at least.



We finished off the night with Pony rides and snow cones. We opted out of the $8 elephant rides because the line was forever long and Scott scared me into being paranoid about elephants getting angry and attacking. Things are always more fun with Scott around.

Bentley turns 2

Bentley is now officially a 2 year old. We celebrated his birthday at a park with a tractor theme. He loves tractors, cars, buses and anything boys love. It has been interesting to see how we have not pushed these things on him at all, but he naturally gravitates towards them.



 
 Bentley loves his blankets as well. If there is one of his blankets in sight he thinks he needs it. And if there are 3 of his blankets in sight... he has to have all of them.
 Bentley had his 2 year checkup and besides being deathly afraid of sitting on the doctor table he is doing great. His stats are:
Height: 34.75 in    64%
Weight: 23.8 lbs    7%
Head: 18.2 in       5%

He has been pretty consistent in these categories, but has grown a bit taller in the last 6 months. Bentley is active and very animated. He is wild and crazy and brave, but at the same time is super sweet and will say thank you and sorry and is always willing to share. Bentley likes to be with his sister and do almost anything she does. He is talking a lot and can say pretty much anything. He still has tubes in his ears which has helped with his ear infections and has all of his teeth other than his molars. This has enabled his fun personality to shine though without being in so much pain.

Jayda turns 4

Jayda bug turned 4. She invited her friend Addie, Nanny, Papa and Carter to go to Despicable Me 2. The movie was hilarious and every bit as good as the first one which is our all time favorite movie. I packed individual bags of candies for each person and they had a great time watching.
 
Nanny couldn't wait any longer to give Jayda her presents so she and Papa cam over afterward to give her gifts.

                                  Jayda designed her princess cake which was strawberry.
                           

Jayda at 4 years old is a great sister to her little brother. She likes to be the leader and conducts their playtimes together. Her favorite thing to do is to be with friends and will find one wherever she goes no matter their age or gender. Just like she picked the flavor of her cake she likes to pick her clothes and the way I am going to do her hair. Jayda loves to learn and knows almost all of her numbers and letters. She is also always asking questions wherever we go about what things are and why they are the way they are.
