First Time Sledding

I have been wanting to take Beckam sledding for awhile now because let's face it, there aren't many other fun outdoor activities to do in the winter with your little ones. So we finally went last week on New Years Day over at the old South Jr High right by our house. He had a lot of fun-for about three runs that is. He doesn't like to keep his hat and gloves on so of course was enjoying it after they came off. We had fun while it lasted anyway!

Doesn't Beckam look so chunky in this picture, I think it's pretty funny.

Ryan didn't tell me that Beckam had slid all the way down the sled. haha

Solo run!

This was his favorite part, being pulled in the sled to and from the snow hill.

Halloween and the Holidays

Halloween

Yes, we are the type of people who dress up our dogs every year.

Suprisingly, Beckam actually cuddled up to him right after I took this picture.

Ward cousins and Aunt Mindy

My mom always gets into costume, I love it!

Christmas

No crying with Beckam, he goes to strangers all to easy.

Christmas jammies with Shelby

Best part of the night for Beckam was jumping off the stairs.

All of our Christmas jammies.

Christmas morning, oh ya!

He is signing candy while chowing down. Best breakfast ever!

New Years Eve

Sister power!

Second trip to the ER on New Years Eve. Split ear open and six stitches later...

A few events to catch up on...

I have been totally slacking on keeping up with the blog. As if life isn't crazy enough, we are expected to continuously update facebook, blogs, websites, and scrapbooks. Are you kidding? Those moms who are able to keep up with it all along with not neglecting their families are called supermoms, and more power to ya if you are one of them! I, however, would certainly not put myself into that category. But some is better than none, eh? Anywho, here's a catch-up of our last couple months.

Cabin

Studly Beckam

Haha you gotta love it!

Park City

Nashville visiting Casey (and the Hills!!)

This one is on Broadway Street. Night out on the town

Nashville stadium across the river

Turning into country stars already!

Yes, Nashville has it's very own Parthenon

First Trip to the ER

Left Beckam in the back seat with a tub of ice cream. Oops!

Red Castle

Red Castle was A LOT of Fun with all these wonderful boys! We hiked in 8 miles last Wednesday to set up camp just as it was getting dark, and then we finished out the 2.5 miles up to Red Castle Thursday morning. Can I just tell you, HIKING not necessarily the right word. These boys SPEED WALK at a FAST pace, so this was no leisurly hike. No, no, I spent the entire hike in walking as FAST as I could the WHOLE way with my pack on!! And then the boys went and hiked up to different lakes everyday as well while I stayed at camp with my blanket, book, and food to RELAX! They brought back lots of yummy fish and stories to tell so we had a great time! We hiked out Saturday afternoon and since the boys totally worked me going in, I decided to give them a run for their money. I led the pack and walked even faster on the way out if that's even possible and then ran the last mile because I just wanted it over with. 10.5 miles is a long way. Will I do it again? Give me a couple years to forget about it and then, maybe.

Summer Pics So Far

The Cabin!

Our first trip to the Cabin with the little guy. We had lots of fun going on walks, roasting shmo's, watching movies, catching and releasing squirrels, and going fishing. So glad we have the cabin to escape to! (Beckam fell asleep on our walk to the bridge, so cute!)

Dress Up!

Beckam loves dress-up just as much as I do! He thought it was so cool to have those sweatbands on. Funny little boy!

Swimming!

Beckam's First Time Swimming! He loved it, just as I thought he would. He just loves the tub and doesn't mind having water get in his face. Many more swim days to come at Nana and Papa's Pool this summer.

The Zoo!

Beckam's First Time To The Zoo. It was lots of fun, and perfect weather on Memorial Day. I think it was my first time to the zoo that I did not want to die from heat exhaustion. Check out this huge orangutang saying HI to Beckam!
