EASTER!!!

Bentley LOOOOVED Easter this year! He definitley caught on to the concept of finding the eggs....he just wasn't too great at putting them IN the basket for later! He would find an egg, then try to open it, then eat what was inside. Needless to say, most of the eggs were empty (thank heaven). haha Isn't he so cute!?!
I have more pictures on my phone, I just have to get them off! Sorry!

Play Time With Cousins!

My cousin Shelby had her little baby girl Hazel exactly one week before I had Bentley. After the earthquake in Japan she and the 2 kids came home for a couple of weeks until things settled down. It was such a great time for us to get the kids together! Hazel is a doll and she and Bentley played pretty well together. Shelby's sister Brittany was also there with her 2 kids so it was great seeing all the cousins!

Past few months

Ugh! Where to start?! Not sure where, so I just decided to show off my hubby and boy for you. Bentley has been growing like a weed and it's been fascinating and sad all at once. I miss my baby......I miss being the only one who really knew what to do for him.....haha Although I miss the baby stage, I am really enjoying this "big boy" stage. Bentley is learning things SO fast and it's been great seeing him grow and expand his world. He know's how to make his mommy proud. I know he'll make an awesome big brother and that he will really help me out when Sister gets here. =-)

Prego Pics

I thought these would be fun to post. My friend Jocelyn already has had her baby and my friend Crystal is due for an enduction if her baby isn't here by Wednesday! Then......I'll be all alone....HAHA But I'm bummed because I KNOW I'm missing pictures....I just can't find them :-p

Of course the minute I write or think the word "favorite" I start singing the song from Sound of Music!! haha Oh well :-p ~Favorite Music~ This one is actually pretty easy because I enjoy all music. I will have one week of listening to non-stop contemporary, then switch to Country. Then the next week I'll listen to R&B. haha I also LOVE classical music and movie soundtracks. You can't help but be touched by the music. ~Favorite Books~ All time favorite Two Suns in the Sky. It's a book about fearing of change and accepting differences in other people. It's one I read when I was 16 and I've loved it ever since. I read the Dealing With Dragon's series in the 6th grade because I had a teacher who had this great idea to read us the first book of series. Why? Because then she would get us to do what I did, I loved the first book so much that I checked out the rest in the series and whaddya know? I read 4 books in a row. haha Of course I have to mention the Harry Potter books. Something so magical about escaping into a world that is so far fetched and yet could be in my own backyard and I wouldn't know it. I have more but can't think of any right now. Blah. I'll add more later :o) ~Favorite Movies~ SANDLOT baby!! Whoop whoop! I think this movie pretty much brought our whole family together growing up. lol No joke. We watched it on every single vacation car ride and a lot of weekends when we discovered we had a friend who had never seen it. "He's a square Benny! The kid's a square!" "He an, L-7 WEENIE!!" That leads me into my next favorite movie and Knight Family classic......THAT THING YOU DO!! Ah!! Tom Hanks was a genious when he thought up this movie. It has the BEST quotes and good music. What more could you ask for? There's something about quoting Lenny that can brighten up even my cloudiest days. haha "Know what this is?" "Presidental flashcards?" "A bonus, you know why?" "I have NO idea." HAHA Alas, that brings me to another truly great quoteable and relateable movie...FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF Oh man!! Growing up I wished that Ferris was MY friend and that I also had a friend like Cameron. lol I wish I had the guts to crank call my Principal and check out a friend. "Oh he's very popular Ed. The sporto's, the motorheads. Geeks, sluts, buds, wasteoids, dweebies, egg-heads. They all adore him, they think he's a rightous dude."

Well what is there tell? I was born and raised in Bountiful, UT. I have three older brothers and one younger sister. My second oldest brother, Josh, is autistic. Although his disibility can be hard sometimes, I would not have it any other way. He's brought a wonderful gift into our family. To learn patience and acceptance to everyone around us. I work in an Elementary school in the Function Skills (Special Ed) classroom. Again, what an AMAZING opportunity to work with these kids and to gain the blessings in doing so. They are so close to our Heavenly Father that you can't help but feel his love when you work with them. I've been married to Jayson Alexander for almost 4 years now. It will be 4 this May. We welcomed our first baby into our family on November 14, 2009. Bentley Jay Alexander and are excited to be expecting a baby girl at the end of July of 2011. We truly enjoy being parents and raising this beautiful baby as our own.
