A lot of nothing

Not much has been going on here in the Bennett house. Riley is getting sooo big! He just doesn't look like a baby at all anymore! He is almost 10 months old now. He has 8 teeth and a HUGE personality. He loves being the center of attention, and will do anything to get it. He is standing up on his own without holding onto stuff. He has attempted walking, but itsn't doing so great. He loves walking with his walker though, just can't figure out how to on his own. This little boy is just so much fun. We absolutely love him and wouldn't trade him in for anything.

As you can see, I re-designed my blog again. I got super bored with it, and I wanted to add my family pictures that Maria took FOREVER ago. These pictures were taken back 4 months ago...so Riley looks so little. I just love them though. I especially love all the funny faces Riley made for the photos. I have so many fun ones, but only showed you a few.

Allen went back to work at UVU. How pathetic is my life that I have nothing to blog about. Absolutely nothing. I need to get a life so I can have some fun stuff for you all to read. I probably don't even have readers anymore since you all have given up on me. I will try and be better!

Missing in Action

I know I have gone MIA the past few months. Life has been insane and crazy. Just getting through one day at a time.

What is new here? I will tell you.

Riley

-Nine months old now

-Spunkiest kid I have ever met

-Crawling machine

-Loves being on his feet

-So interested in the door stoppers. He crawls around the whole house going from stopper to stopper and playing with them.

-He follows us everywhere. He even followed me into the shower...funniest thing ever. We have a walk in shower and I am just standing there shampooing my hair and the next thing I knew he crawled under the shower curtain and started crawling in. I freaked out. Hehehe.

-Loves hearing his voice...especially in the parking garage. Allen showed him that his voice echos in there, so now whenever we get to the garage Riley starts screaming and when he hears his voice he smiles so big.

-Loves Cheerios more than life itself. He goes through a whole box by himself in about 5 days.

-Makes the funniest noises EVER.

-Flirts with everyone around him

-Smiles at everyone he sees. Seriously, every single person who sees him just freaks out with how he knows how to flirt and smile. Everyone loves him and he knows it. It makes him blush.

-Still has a super flat head

-Loves to bite and we are trying to break that habit.

-Sings along with the songs in the car. It's the cutest thing ever.

-Makes the funniest faces I have ever seen.

-Talks like crazy.

-Loves playing in his bed. When I put him to bed, I spy on him for a few minutes. When I leave the room he starts crawling around his bed. He also loves to stand himself up and the let go of the crib and fall backwards. He does that over and over again and it makes him laugh.

-Loves books, and loves when we read to him.

-We love him more than ever.

Allen

-Started a new day job

-Still also working at the Pizza Factory at night.

-Started a new semester at school today.

-Works so hard for our family

-Loves his son so much. Allen always misses him when he isn't with him. They are best friends!

-Still a huge goob and can always count on him to make you smile and laugh.

Whitney

-Stopped taking blog design orders. It caused too much stress in my life and I stopped enjoying it. I hope to start taking orders again, I just need a break so I can enjoy it again.

-Started sewing again. I LOVE it. I don't know why I stopped sewing.

Yeah thats about it. There is not much going on in my life, but Riley keeps on growing and turning into a little boy. We just love him sooooo much!

Deleting my links

I am sorry to inform you that I am deleting the links in my sidebar of all my friends and family. I hate to do this because I know so many of you use my blog to get to other people's blogs and see when people update. I made this decision because of my business. I know that my clients look at my blog and I just like to keep my family and friends life private. I just wouldn't want a bunch of people blog stalking all of you because of me. So for all of your well being/safety/ect... I have decided to go ahead and delete all of the links. I will however still be following all of you through Google Reader and see when people update and stuff. So if there are some blog links you guys would like from me so that you can still read up on them, let me know and I would be happy to pass them on to you guys. Thanks for your understanding.

Combining Forces

So my friend Casey (owner and designer of Hot Bliggity Blog) also does blog designs. We both have our own business but decided to get into our card business together. I think this is great because I feel like we will be able to reach out to many different audiences. We have 2 very different styles, which I think is pretty cool. I feel very confident that everyone will be able to find something they LOVE. There are going to be some changes and some new things. First we are changing the name. It will be Your Card Bakery and be the place where you can find any and all kinds of cards. Also, I have always done the printing...but now we will also offer an option where we will design it, and you can buy the copyright to the image allowing you to bring it to your favorite printer and print them yourself...as many as you want. We are going to start working on changing up the site to be "Your Card Bakery" and get many more cards uploaded for order. Right now I have 22 cards on there for Christmas that I have designed. I have many more in the process, and Casey will also start uploading hers soon. You will be able to see on there which one of us designed which card. We hope that combining forces we will have a larger audience and be able to reach out to everyone's styles. You can see my Christmas cards HERE. You have to go check them out...I personally think they are just so cute! We will be starting to fix it up hopefully in the next couple days. Enjoy!

Halloween

I hope everyone had a fabulous Halloween. I can definitely say that holidays are much more fun with a child. Riley was a monkey and Allen was the Travelocity gnome. So funny! He sure turned a few heads :)



I have more pics to post, and I will post them later.
