Bentley

I realized that I've put lots of pictures of Rich, myself and Payton, but no pictures of the littlest member of our family, Bentley the dachshund. He's a mama's boy just like Payton. We got him in February and love him so much! (Well, Payton and I love him, Rich just tolerates him!) Payton loves to lay on him and Bentley is not so fond of that considering he only weighs 9 1/2 pounds. So, here are a few pictures of our Bentley.

Trip To The Lake

Payton absolutely loves to go to the lake. His favorite thing is to drive the boat! He sits on Uncle Anthony's lap and helps him drive the WHOLE time and when the boat is not moving, he pretend drives. He would much rather sit and drive the boat than get in the water! I would also like to say that he has his life jacket right under him and wears it when the boat is moving, but he just HATES it. He throws a huge fit when we put it on him, so we let him take it off when we are parked and just hanging out. It does look pretty uncomfortable! ;-) I think he will enjoy actually being in the water more next year.

Summer Fun!

Well, it has been quite a hot summer! It is 103 degrees today and that's like our 30th day in a row of over 100 degree plus temperatures! Payton LOVES to go to the pool. He will go get his bathing suit out of his drawer and bring it to me to put on him and run over to his wagon and cry if I say we aren't going to swim. His favorite pool is the awesome one at the YMCA. It has all kinds of fun things for him to do.

He has recently started doing this bear crawl (that's what we like to call it). It's so funny to watch him. He gets down on his hands and feet with his legs straight and crawls all over the place! He does it everywhere: at home, the mall, the pool! Here is an example of it at the pool. :-) He's so hilarious!
