A Busy Day

  Today has been a busy fun packed day! We went to Church this morning-which by the way was a very good sermon. My cousin, Marlee came over to stay with us for the night. She has been a trip watching her with Bentley. I made a delicious lunch, Christian said it was amazing, while we waited for Direct TV to show up. And when they did...
  Our house sits down in a little whole in the mountains of River Falls. We love our little cabin on the river, its perfect for us, but we have found the one downfall. Because its in a lovely whole, we get absolutely NO satellite service! Dish came out three times and said there was no line of sight. Direct came out today and said the same thing!! I am going to have NO television while living here while Christian goes to school and work. I love spending time with Bentley, more than anything in the world, but when he naps and I can't... :( I have watched just about ever movie worth watching and I'm working on reruns. A field service manager is supposed to come out to ensure there is no chance, so PRAY he finds something tomorrow. Otherwise, well honestly I dont know what we would do.
   We got to see my sister today and her whole gang of kids. She has five kids, and they are precious. They range from 9 to 1, and they are a handfull! LOL. I love them to death though. They live in Anderson County, so when they get a chance to come out to my folks house, its always a good time.
   When went to the Hudson's tonight to watch the NFL playoffs. We missed about all of it except the last quarter, and it was nice to see Tom Brady's face when the game was over. It was like watching a kid have his Christmas presents ripped right from his hands. He is the Jeff Gordon of the NFL. We have been over here since then and have had a great time talking, eating cookies, and talking about everything under the sun.         
  Bentley has been off the wall tonight! He is teething so he is off of his schedule, and having a hard time getting comfortable and sleepy. He is still up right now! Well, we are still enjoying the company over at the Hudson's having a wonderful talk. I will let you all have a wonderful night, and enjoy the beginning of your week!

**Sneak Peak**

Here is a sneak peak of two of Bentleys photos from his session! He has been going to this photographer for a while now, she has been watching him grow up with numerous photo sessions for just 6 months old! She literally gets BETTER and BETTER at each session, I recommend her to anyone who is interested in photography and/or photo sessions.

He is a very photogenic baby who loves the camera! Although, his sleepy teething grumpy side was kicking in towards the end, he did very well! Personally, I think he is an easy baby to work with (maybe I'm bias)-we will see at a year old.

Teething

  Bentley finally cut his first tooth! His bottom left tooth broke out and is at the surface, just waiting for it to pop all of the way up. This explains those past few sleepless nights and not following his schedule! AHA! Thank goodness the tooth is the source of his grumpy awakeness.

  How is your weekend going? Ours is actually going very well! We met new friends to hang out with which is exciting. Seems like we all have a good bit in common and look forward to hanging out with them tomorrow night as well! It's always nice to have different people to hang out with, you can never have too many friends...they are HARD to find these days. 

  As you know, Dish came out to the house a few weeks ago and said we have "no signal," so we had to cancel our service. Tomorrow after Church, Direct TV is coming out to see if they can find signal. PLEASE say a little prayer because living up in the boonies with no TV is a little depressing-especially since you don't get to see your spouse much and all you watch is DVD reruns.  The Hubs starts classes on Tuesday and will be alternating that between work. I will not get to see him much until August, but the long run will help us out. We are still praying about the Military, taking to the Recruiter soon again about that. Thankfully, nothing will happen until his classes are completely over with.

  I consulted a Thirty-One show today which turned out to be great! Unfortunately, a lot of things from the Fall/Winter catalog "retired" so I went ahead and did a February party (with the new Spring/Summer catalog) today. If you are interested in any of the products, you can Click here. If you have any questions, you can e-mail me at meganmiller291@yahoo.com. I am using the Internet here at my parents, so I'm signing off and heading home! You guys have a wonderful Saturday night and will see you back here tomorrow! Remember to pray for TV signal!

Brr!

  I don't know know which eating is worse, Christmas or a random snow day? I think I have eaten more food in the past 2 days than I have with Christmas AND Thanksgiving together! Gotta love Mama's cooking! We enjoyed our snow day, rode 4-wheelers, and played in the snow. We took Bentley out for a quick 5 minutes to look and feel the snow. I took his gloves off, so he could touch the snow...he didn't care for the coldness, but didn't mind the snow, lol. He was very curious and looked confused on why it was "normal" looking outside like he's used to seeing.  Here is a picture from todays event:

 

As you can see, Bentley, kept licking the cold ice off his sock gloves. I need a snow suit...that's something I need to invest in real soon! 

My hubby works tomorrow, I didn't get enough time with him. He will be leaving 2 hours early to make sure he gets to work in time. It seems like days past by so fast that time flies by...where do our making memories time fit in? When I'm having a bad day or Bentley just wants to fuss all day-I remind myself that I will never have these times again with him at this age. It amazes me how much you change after birthing a child. I use to not have a care in the world before him and I took everything for granted. After Bentley, I realized how truly blessed I am. I am so in love mothering him, God has blessed me with 4 wonderful gifts: Having him as my Father, I have the best husband in the world, blessed child, and a loving family. I don't have a perfect life, but I have perfect blessings. I have a hard time looking back on Bentleys birth, I love hate the part of growing up. I want him to be my little baby forever that I can cuddle and cradle. Over this past week, his personality has became wide open! He is SO full of himself it's hilarious!
  We have friends over tonight. The Hubs, bro, and Gabe went sledding in the front pasture as I gave the babe a bath. Gabe and his mom, Lois, are having vegetable soup and hot cocoa with the family. It's nice to gather with friends and enjoy the cold crisp night! I tend to get sick of snow very easily, but I am looking forward to the third coming of it Monday.
  Well, hopping off to eat some veggie soup! It's ready! Stay warm and see ya tomorrow!

"On Schedule Mom"

Hello Snow! We got about 11 inches of snow and I am loving every minute of it! Not only did we get a pretty bad snow blow, we are expecting more next Monday! How exciting?! My brother, Dad, and I spent the day 4-wheeling down the roads while my Mom spent time spoiling little Bentley. The Hubs stayed over at work for most of today, so he missed out on most of the fun-and he is sick.
  I don't know what has happened in the past 2 days, but Bentley WILL NOT stick to his schedule. I'm thinking it's because we are at my parents house and he's too excited, but he will go to bed at his bed time and wake up an hour later wide awake! I'm lost for words and really wish he would just do what he's supposed to. My schedule with him is...perfect. He's always been right on for the most park.

Here is what my day consist of:

7 am: Feed and go back to bed.
10 am: Wake up, feed, and play.

12-12:45 pm: Nap
1 pm: Feed and play.
2:30-3 pm: Nap
3 pm: Feed and Play
4:30-6 pm: Nap
6-6:30 pm: Eat a vegtable and cereal.
6:35-6:45 pm: Bath time
6:55 pm: Feed
7 pm: Bed time

  So as you can see how nice it is, a few days of him not doing it kind of makes me feel guilty for some reason. I really wish I could get over being the "on schedule mom." but I like to know what's happening next. What do you do? I would love to hear your input.
 
Tomorrow will be another fun filled day as for now, I am wrapping this up to trade for a cup of coffee. You guys have a good night and sleep well!

More snow??

Today has been a wonderful and busy day! I slept in with Bentley and woke up with some kind of energy...and still running on it, YEAH! I cleaned my house, washed 3 loads of clothes, dishes, packed a TON of clothes, gave Bentley a bath and myself one, cooked white chili, and left for my parents-all by 4 pm...and we woke up at 11 am! I am thankful that I had the energy for that today, LOL. We all are staying at my parents house until this blizzard is over...they have a wood stove and we don't-I would like to stay warm.
  We are expecting 9-12 inches of snow tonight through Tuesday-fun times to go sledding and 4-wheeling! I can't wait until I eat my white chili, food: I love food!
  As you all know, I'm a consultant for Thirty-One and tonight I got a "Sneak Peak" of ALL the products! Only if you knew! I can't wait to share it with you on January 15th when everything comes out! One thing I really love is, they actually have a bigger kids line now! Bentley will get a little rotten and will become a Thirty-One mannequin: yes, having my son be called that isn't nice! Did I mention that I'm thrilled?!
  Nothing warms my heart more than Bentley saying, "Mama." He's been saying it since he was 4 months old, but now he looks at me and calls me by my name. I absolutely love it! He has finally learned how to sign "eat" and "more." If you guys don't know, I am teaching him sign language; he is a very quick learner as I may say so! He's a very smart little boy and he truly is a huge blessing the Hubs and I.

  Well, I am hopping off and going to bed! When I wake up in the morning, I should see snow! Have a good night!

We are back!

 

 So much has happened since you saw my last post 2 months ago! Not only have I been getting use to Mommyhood, but we moved! I am no longer city living in country! Bentley is now 6 months old and the happiest babe ever! I am truly blessed. Unfortunately, you may not see a post from me everyday because where we live (boondocks), there is NO internet signal...I bug it off my neighbors iphone. We have no internet or TV. The Hubs, Me, and Bentley watch reruns of movies-only to keep ourselves TV happy, LOL! Although, I am super happy about getting my blog back up, I really will miss talking to you everyday.

How did your Holidays go? This was Bentleys First, so it was very exciting for us all. Santa did come and visit and left him some goodies. I use to look forward to playing Santa and now that we had the chance-we loved it! We are at a friends house right now, so I am going to hop off-just wanted to say I'm back! Hope you guys have a wonderful night!
