and by the way...

I was just looking at my blog so he is just over 2 months. When you compare that to the picture on the side bar it is shocking. Wow how they grow!

Rolls and rolls...

So I had thought I was going to give up on blogging but I just couldn't resist posting about my little guy. He has gotten so rolly polly and the smiles I get are to die for! Can you believe the cheeks...and chin on this guy! We sure love him!

I'm a Slacker

So I have had this announcement of Beckham's birth forever and just haven't printed and sent them out, and who knows how long long will be. I still feel like we are adjusting perhaps that could be partly due to the fact that since he was born we haven't been home for more than a 2 week time period. Anyways I thought I would post it because who knows when I will actually get them printed and mailed out...gosh I am still working on Thank you cards so it might be a long while! Does anyone even keep these things or do most people just think "oh cute" and then throw them in the trash?

Summer Ends...

Summer ends for us tommorow (sniffle sniffle). It was fun but busy which made it go by way to fast. We welcomed Beckham to the world, finished our first year of law school, Chris did more school and an internship and Kaden well he does what any two year old does play play play! We were lucky to be able to get away for a couple weeks to visit both of our families and we did a lot with them and had a lot of fun. We are grateful and so lucky to come from such wonderful families. I have been a horrible blogger this summer so here is a little highlight of what we did...

My mom, sister and I at the Temple open house

Our little family. I was impressed by how much Kaden really took in from this visit to the open house he kept telling me all week...mom going to the Temple. It is amazing at how impressionable (is that a word or did I make that up!?) they are at this age.

Visiting grandma and grandpa's beach house and playing at the Oregon coast. Kaden love to find things to swing on as seen below...He has no clothes on because he fell in a tide pool while chasing birds and not watching where he was running (suprise suprise!)

Beckham at the beach...this was the extent of his beach trip...looks exciting right!?

Here is to wishing everyday could be spent relaxing at the beach...

Playing, playing, playing...

A day at the fair. I didn't think Kaden would do the rides boy was I wrong we spent hours doing the rides. I just wanted to go because they have the best peach milk shakes in the whole wide world Kaden had a different agenda. I was sick after all the twirly and spinning rides I was glad when there was a ride they wouldn't let me go on!

Kaden would only get so close to the animals. I think this is the closest we got. He likes to look but only from a distance.

Future BYU Quarterback...

Doesn't this look like the making of the next BYU Quarterback...that's what I thought!

I think he even has the face down...

Although Beckham might be in the running also gaining a pound a week and not even six weeks and has doubled his birth weight (at this rate he may be big enough to be an offensive linebacker). You should see the rolls and dimples on this kid I want to post pictures but I am having a hard time typing with one hand let alone taking and uploading pictures one handed. Maybe if he eventually lets me put him down I will once again take pictures of him and post them.

Getting bigger...

I can't believe how fast they grow. This little guy has gained a pound a week...wow! We have had a lot of requests for more pictures of Beckham. And although it is naptime and I too should be sleeping I couldn't resist! Enjoy!

4th of July...

Our days lately...

Our days lately seem like they should be nights and our nights seem like they should be days. I had forgotten that miserable period of trying to get a newborn on a good nightly schedule and how that changes day to day (add a toddler to the mix and it is even more miserable)! He is sure cute though so you can't get too upset when he is wide awake at 3-4 in the morning just wanting to be held and loved. I am sure though that Kaden is wondering why his mom is falling asleep with whatever quiet time she can find and doesn't have the energy for coloring, trucks, trains and horsie rides all day long!
