Life is Good!

Well, I think my complaining email worked cause now I only have 1 calling... Primary President! Yikes! That will teach me! It is a challenging calling, but it's been really rewarding. I had fun at Girls Camp, despite being 5 months pregnant and my other callings worked out just fine! Life really is good. My Boys are crazy! Sam is Sam! Planning and all that jazz! He really enjoys getting me freaked out! Zeke is so correct! He is really enjoying 1st grade and loves that there are more rules. He gets so excited when he finishes his work before anyone and has tell me first thing! He is such a great big brother and is working hard on being an even better big brother because as he says he'll be the biggest brother so he's gonna have to be really good. He wants so badly to do everything just right, but being right is something he excels at! (or at least he thinks so;)) Malachi is CRAZY! I love being able to spend my day with him. He drives me crazy and then laughs and all the crazy is gone! He is quite the little guy. He loves being with me which is flattering. Zeke has always been such a Daddy's boy so it's nice to have someone who likes to be around me instead of tolerates me till Daddy comes home. And we are expecting another little boy. No name as of yet but the boys have put in their favorites... Yoda, Warrior, and Amalachia (even though he was a bad guy the boys think it's cool) and Malachi. Malachi really likes his name, he thinks it'd be good for this baby too! I have no pictures to put on this site because I've lost the camera, but I'll find it...hopefully! My boys are growing so fast. Zeke grew an inch over the summer so now Zeke is 44 inches and Malachi is 39 inches. Zeke weighs 40 lbs and Malachi weighs 39 lbs. They are so cute together...when they aren't fighting!! :0) They love Lego's and playing dinosaurs together. Yea for boys!


We bought a new home in March and it was a fixer-upper to put it nicely! We did a bunch before we moved in, but now are redoing the floor in the living room/dining - Kitchen. So quite the job, but we want to have the house finished before the new baby comes which is in 8-9 weeks! So it's crunch time!


Well that's what's happening at the Bentley home. Hope you enjoyed! I'll find the camera and put pictures on later.

When It Rains...

Well, I've had an interesting last few weeks.
First I think it should be know that until January I had one calling and it was wonderful! I could go to Relief Society and Sunday School and just enjoy! Then I received a calling to the Primary. Totally fine because I'm teaching the CTR 5-7 and I love teaching CTR. So life seemed to be fine. I guess my Bishop thought I wasn't quite busy enough so I was asked to be the assistant to the Music Chairman (or something like that). Of course I said yes, and I don't really have to do much I think I'm just a sub for whenever he can't be there. But that's not all!
A few weeks ago (actually Feb.10th) I got a call (while I was on the phone with Ben) from a man on the High Council. I called him back (reluctantly because Stake conference was the next week) and to my great surprise he asked me to be a year leader for girls camp this year! Without knowing anything about the calling I said yes and he told me that I came "highly recommended". Right away I knew who had ratted me out... My Mother-in-law! I guess J. Golden Kimball was right... there are three ways to get a calling... but the one that got me in the end was Relation! Anyway, a few days ago the stake came director sent me an email with all I need to know about girls camp... 12 attachments!!! and a lengthy email! I think I may be over my head with this one!
Moral of the story... Say NO!!!! :)
