The Circus Is In Town...

Last night we were able to go out to dinner and to the circus! We had so much fun! Crew loved the whole show and loved all the perks that go along with the circus! I loved the elephants so thats where I took most of my pictures. Cant wait for it to come again!

The New Baby Elephant...it was so cute!

A BIG Day at the Bendixens!

There is a guy at Cory's work who has chickens and has been taking to Cory about them for a week or so. Cory has mentioned it once to me and then all the sudden today he was like for fhe can we go get some chicks for Crew. I was like uhh sure if you help clean up the mess! So Cory got home from work early and we went and picked up these 4 chicks. Crew is so scared to hold them, but loves watching them! (I was so scared that he would squeeze them to death so hopefully he is always scared the hold them) So here are a few pics of Crew looking, video taping, and kissing the 1st Bendixen pet(s)!

Well....today I decided that this week was the week to start potty training! I wanted to do it before the baby came and the earlier the better so he wouldnt go back to his old ways when the baby came. I got all the underwear (buzz, woody, nemo, lightning mcqueen) and this was the potty of choice! We went to the library together and picked out a potty training dvd and 4 books to read today and tonight to prep Crew for the BIG day...tomorrow. Well we were at home and Crew said "where potty" and I went and grabbed it and put it in the family room while the potty movie was on and all the sudden he was going! Cory and I got so excited and Crew was even more excited! So tomorrow we will work on it all day and hopefully he will be all set within a few days! I really hope it is this easy....but im sure it wont be! haha

Summer with Aunt Sophie

One of my goals this summer is to take Crew to do atleast 1 really fun thing each week. Well we have been living it up and we have been doing practically 1 fun thing a day! We go to Sunsplash twice a week, swimming, another waterpark, and much more. Last weekend I babysat my little bro and sisters while my parents were gone. So we decided to go to Sunsplash one day and Jeepers the other day. Crew loved spending time with aunt Sophie! Crew had fun going on rides, playing games, playing in the jungle gym and just being with Sophie! Here are some pics from Jeepers and I'll post pics from Sunsplash later this week!

(Crew literally passes out after swimming everyday!)


Hope your enjoying summer as much as us!!!

summer hair cut

Well we decided to give Crew his summer hair cut! Here are a few pictures of him. He now has the same hair cut as his dad! haha It has been hard to get good pictures of this crazy and very active 2 year old! We have been going swimming everyday and having lots of fun! I sure love this little boy!

Happy Birthday/Anniversary Babe!

Well its a little late. But better late then never! 2 weeks ago Cory turned 31! We had fun spending the day together (luckily it was on a Saturday) Made a good breakfast, went out to lunch as a family, and went to a movie later that night just the two of us. Then this week we celebrated our 3rd Anniversary! We went to another movie and tried to go out to dinner, but I wasn't feeling good at all so had to call it quits! We had a fun night just the two of us!

I just wanted to let Cory know how proud of him I am and how lucky I am to have him! I don't know many men that wake up once a week at 4 in the morning to make it to the temple before work, then works a 10-11 hour day at work (just so he can be the top salesmen! p.s. Cory won 2 ipads within the past 2 weeks and I have been spoiled using it!) then comes home and takes care of his son while I rest and gives him a bath and gets him ready for bed! I HAVE THE LIFE!!! I am just so lucky to have such an amazing husband and father to our little boys! I love you babe! Happy Birthday and Anniversary!
(Cory will most likely never read this, but just in case he does!)


Here is CORYS FAVORITE picture! So since it is all about him I figured I would post it!

Love you baba

Crew's family b-day party

Since we took Crew to Disneyland for his birthday we decided to just do a family party this year for him. My whole family came over for pizza,ice cream cake, and games. Crew loved all of his gifts and loved playing ring-around-the-rosies and head, shoulders, knees, and toes and do as im doing with everyone. (These are Crews family FHE games that we have to play each week!). He was too busy playing with his toys to eat any cake, but enjoyed picking up the lit candle and dumping it into the cake instead of blowing it out! We had fun last night! Thanks everyone for coming!

Crews birthday

Well my little boy is 2! And he is looking so much like a little boy! We had fun on his birthday. He ate a total of 4 krispy Kreme donuts (nasty I know!), then we went out to lunch with my dad (crew calls him Doo Da) and to some ice cream, then spent the night at home and Crew played outside in the grass with Cory and enjoyed riding his new 4-wheeler that Cory's mom gave him!
