Boy, I feel like I have not stopped since last Thursday!!!! Thursday, Memaw delivered Bentley's first tricycle to her. Bentley loves her "mink & puple" tricycle. On Friday, we had Ryan and Terie over for some dinner and they started the birthday weekend off with gifts for both Riley and Bentley. Bentley got a baby doll that has clothes and a stroller and she loved it. Riley got a DS game and he loves it. Once the kiddos were in bed, we all 4 assembled Bentley's birthday gift from mom and dad - a Surfer Girl Jeep!!!! Thanks for your help Ryan and T. Saturday morning, we had plans to head to Crystal Beach to see Nonna and Uncle Kenny and the girls. Bentley awoke to her jeep and, well, she really was not that impressed with it. It kinda scares her right now, but I am sure she will warm up to it. Here are some videos of Bentley and Riley sportin the Jeep.

As we were heading to the beach, we thought we were making good time, but what should have taken a couple of hours took over 4 hours :( We waited over an hour for the ferry and it was SMOKIN' hot. Needless to say the kids and Casey were pretty gripey!! We finally get to the beach around 1 and decided to just spend the night since it took such an effort to get there. Me, Casey and Shawnda took the kiddos to the beach and they had a ball!!!! Riley and Bentley both played in the water and sand and had the best time. Bentley decided halfway through that she needed to sunbathe in her actual birthday suit and I obliged. After playing and splashing around, we went back to the cabin and made some fried shrimp! It was a good time.
We got up and headed home and got right on the ferry. We made it home in just enough time to eat lunch and get ready for Bentley's party. Her party was at The Little Gym where she has been going to gymnastics. Everyone had a really good time and she participated...somewhat. When we went to have cake, she got very serious as everyone was singing Happy Birthday, but when it came down to blowing out the candles and everyone staring at her, she lost it and started crying. Once she ate some cake though, she realized it was ok. She went home and crashed after her party. Ryan and Lindi and Presley came over to deliver gifts and did Nana. Nana brought over tons of fun stuff for her Diva grandchild and she brought pizza too :) We had a really good visit with them and Bentley opened all of her gifts. She had to put on her Dora nightgown and wear her high heels for everyone. All in all, it was a great but busy birthday weekend! Mommie sure is glad that these only come once a year!!!!
