Getting ready for Zoey

Every time I open this closet or this drawer I get all giddy inside....I can't wait for all the bows, dresses and frills of all things girlie!
I've really found my feminine crafty side too, every night when Stephen gets home I'm sitting in front of the sewing machine.

This is the blanket I made for Zoey, I'm determined to make lime green her favorite color too!


This is a special outfit for a special princess that is soon to arrive also!

And this is the FIRST dress I've ever made!!
Although she won't be able to wear it for a few years I just love it!
I'm obsessed with this cute fabric....that's probably why I actually finished making this.

And this cute baby model I found makes it look that much cuter!

I probably took more pictures than necessary, but he's just so dang cute....and I'm hoping this is the last time he'll be wearing his sisters clothes!

HOT!

This is a picture of Brooks blowing on his chicken nuggies because they are "HOT". That is one of the new words he has picked up, along with "stuck", "mine", "no no", "Zoey", and much more! He is sooo smart, especially at repeating words- definitely going to have to pay more attention to things he hears. By the way he blows on everything before he eats it these days, it's so stinking cute.

I love my little buddy so much, he is so fun!

I love you DAD!

I forgot to snap any pictures on Father's Day, oops. But we definitely had fun having Stephen hang out with us ALL DAY! I made cinnamon rolls and fruit salad for breakfast (after letting Stephen sleep in until 10:30), then he opened his gifts- Ticket to Ride game, tickets to see the Braves vs. Mets, and a special book from Brooks. After church we had a delicious dinner and Stephen and Brooks played hide-n-seek and giggled for hours- it was soooo cute to watch them play.

We hope you know how much we love you Stephen!

Sharing their favorite snack, "pop-pop".

Memorial Weekend

We had a great time in CT hanging out with Delia, Tom, Kelly, and Clinton. They took us around town, to the movies, bowling, and to this little lake for some paddle boating. It was fun to just hang out and finally get to spend some time with Stephen.

Thanks again!

Parade for Memorial Day

His favorite part was the candy tossed right to HIM.....he loves suckers, so sticky.

So excited, can you tell.

Every single fire-truck in town made an appearance....and a few others.

All the King's horses and all the King's men.

This is how they ended the parade......

Da da da da da da......BATMAN!!!

It was a great parade- gotta love that small town feel.

Jersey Shore 2010!

We headed down to the beach, finally, last Friday and it was a blast! Brooks wasn't a big fan of the sand though so he sat with me most of the day, but he did play after a while.
Here's the fun group that came- Shannon, Wendy, Addy, Jen, France, Kaycee, Maile, Larisa, Rachael, and all the corresponding kiddos!

Finally venturing onto the sand

Baby Zoey....only about 11 more weeks to go!

The pool was a big success, although it really just became a wet sand box.

My Dream Guy!

I hope this video works...

Omaha, Iowa, Illinois

After three states he became very inventive....and Really tired of being in the car.

He LOVES to play with grandpa's pocket protector.
Baby Beckham's blessing day
The tutest cousins, Kelan couldn't be more loving to his little brother- it's so sweet.

We all headed to Nauvoo to take in ALL the history, I don't think we missed a detail!

The beautiful temple

And this was Brooks the entire trip....running away from mom.

but it's a good thing he LOVES his dad!

gotta love those big dogs too....everything furry with four legs is a dog.

Wagon rides.....I definitely recommend it!

we were trying to become a part of it all

Back to Omaha, spending some time at the Botanical Gardens with an amazing train garden-

All these buildings are made out of natural materials- sticks and stuff.

Watching the trains go around

Can YOU tell them apart??

Thanks for having us, SpNik, we had a blast and really miss hanging out with you guys and the whole gang!
