Christmas pictures

Happy holidays from the Fischers...especially our crying boy. We thought this was funny because Aaron and I are smiling nicely and someone else is not.

Here's our real picture we used this year. Thanks Erica for helping out!

Painting party

I had a painting party a few months ago where several ladies got together and I taught them how to do abstract art and let them go at it and gave them instruction along the way. This is one of the paintings (that I pretty much did most of it). It's pretty large and going above their bed.

Cousins

Hanging out in the cupboards

We kept telling Matthew to stop splashing Bentley in the face...caught in action!

Matthew's innocent face afterwards!

My cute smiling boy!

Crazy boys

Aaron and his dad went on a walk down where they were doing construction by our house. Lets just say they got a little silly. I'll leave it at that.

Ghetto derby car

The elder's quarum decided to have a derby car race for their get together. I think Aaron might have gotten an award for the least time spent on it? Those are pool balls tapped onto the car for the weight if you can't see it. But somehow he did still manage to cut his hand with a drill during the creating process.

Halloween!

We LOVE Halloween and always go all out with our costumes. Aaron and I are Olympic swimmers (Michael Phelps and Natalie Coglin). Bentley is a tornado (we wanted to play on his age and the fact that we live in Kansas).

This is our very sad, tired tornado. There are little men, pigs, cars, sheep, etc. attached to his costume.

I thought this sad face was too funny/cute.

Eating powdered donuts


Halloween party at the Nelson's

Get your feet off the table!

Lately Bentley has been eating with his feet up on his tray. I know it's a bad habit, but for now it's funny. So laugh and take pictures today, correct tomorrow.

Birthday part 2

He had a fun time with his balloons.

Opening his blocks.

We were able to turn Bentley's seat forward facing since he's a year now and he already hit the 20 lb. mark about 7 mo. ago!

He's walking!

Happy 1st Birthday!

Our sweet boy just turned 1! I can't believe it! The time has just flown by so fast. We made him a watermelon cake out of red velvet (watermelon is his favorite but you can't find it this time of year). I have to find a picture of him eating the cake. I have it somewhere. What an amazing little guy Bentley has been. We couldn't have asked for a sweeter baby. He always makes us laugh and loves laughing with us. Happy Birthday cutie!

Here he is opening presents. He got some books from daddy. He loves his reading time.

We also got him some bath foam letters. Here he is playing with them.

He got pretty good spelling with the letters! What a smart little guy!

We also got him a giraffe bike that he's still trying to figure out.

Baptism

We have become great friends with Mike and Carrie Sims and their kids and they finally got baptised! We're so excited for them. They are such an awesome family and will make a great addition to our ward.

Bentley's Kitchen

Bentley LOVES getting into my cupboards, so I gave him his own. He loves his new space and dishes.

Cousins

Bentley had so much fun with all of his cousins! They were all so nice to him and loved finding ways to make him laugh.


I love that Kennedy (7 yrs old) is just about as big as Bentley.

Bus ride

So Aaron's cousin Stellios drives a bus. We never saw it coming. So all the Xantos' came over in it and of course we all had to go for a ride. It was 11pm though and when we got back, he stopped the bus and opened the stop sign, so oncoming traffic had to wait for us all to cross the street. And some people were in pj's. So I'm sure the people waiting thought they were dropping off people at a crazy house. It was funny!

Stellios in his glory.

Clue

We played Clue and dressed as the characters with Tyler (Msr. Beutant, or something like that), his girlfriend Kristina (Mrs. White), Tyler's roomate Rob (Professor Plum), Aaron (Col. Mustard), and me (Ms. Scarlet). We had so much fun and were just plain rediculous.

Random Utah pictures

Aaron is saying, "You just got Hulked"!

While in Utah Bentley learned how to clap his hands (as he is demonstrating here), wave, climb up and down stairs, and he even took his first steps! (When he'll walk on demand is when I'll get a video of him doing it).

Aaron and Bentley sharing a twizzler.


We were able to go to Angela's mission friends, Christian and Daniella's, sealing. It was such a wonderful experience. They were so nice and AWESOME to Bentley...like and aunt and uncle.

Mission reunion

Here I am with President and Sister Marriott. They are really awesome people.

There weren't many missionaries at the reunion, but a few of my favorites were: Hunter (and his wife), Garfield, and used-to-be-Mutterer.

Of course another favorite, Hintze and his family.

This was a nice couple, the Hinckleys.
