It's only a phase

Okay so this is cute!!! The only problem is it is never enough for him. Beckham wants to cram his whole fist into his mouth. He is even refusing to take the pacifier... I hope it's a phase!

One last visit

 Everyone before we left from getting ice cream

Danette and I after our SHORT biking trip. Danette wanted to make sure we had a picture of her wearing her biking shoes!!! 

I was so excited last week when I got a call from Stacey asking me if I was interested in buying a road bike from a guy she works with. I have been looking for a newer bike and this one sounded perfect. Once I got the bike home it started raining, then I got sick. Finally, days later I felt up to riding the bike to see if I actually wanted to buy it. It was also my lucky day because Danette and Keion were going to be in Pocatello and she said she would ride my old bike while I tested out the new one! The excitement only lasted a couple of minutes...

Once we started out I quickly realized I hated the way the gears shifted and it wasn't too much later that the chain fell of the bike. I was so annoyed. I was all greasy and wet, I forgot to mention my camel back had leaked all over me so it looked like I had massive butt sweat, which I very well could have but no one would no due to all the water that had leaked out of the camel back... anyway, a bunch of people pulled up on their 4 wheelers and came to our rescue and put the chain back on. Once the chain was on I was ready to head back to the car. I had enough, I knew I no longer had any interest in buying the bike. 

Once back in town we were able to meet back up with my little sisters, Carson(Mikkel's boyfriend), Keion and Beckham. We all had ice cream and hung out for one last time before Danette and Keion had to go back to Michigan. 

It was so nice having them around, Danette was very motivating and made want to run more. I will miss the having them around. It was great that Danette was able to run with me and bike with me. It's great having someone to drag your butt out of the house and get you going! I hope they move back this way once Kylan is done with his residency. Oh, can I also mention what a little hottie Keion has turned out to be, he is also an amazing kid. Good work Danette and Kylan!

Bumbo

Bumbo for Beckham!!! Beckham hates not sitting straight up and checking everything out so I found this little seat at Wal-Mart and so far I think he might be a little afraid of it. But he is the king of the house. 

Father's Day

It was Aaron's first father's day and I hate to say it but I fell short. I think it is safe to say it was not the best father's day in the world. I was sick so instead of me making the day special for Aaron, he took care of me! 

Aaron was able to hang out with Beckham all day. I think Beckham loved every minute of it. Aaron would rub his head on Beckham's belly and he would laugh hard. It was very cute.

Aaron is an amazing dad. He seems to be the push over when it comes to Beckham. Aaron is a little softy. I love it. He is also the best husband. He can tell when I am at my breaking point and he will step in and take care of Beckham. I think Beckham likes it better when Dad is in charge!

For some reason Beck loves to watch T.V. He'll lay on his belly and watch it for awhile before he gets fussy.
On Father's day Beck rolled over for the first time. Was it a complete accident... YES, but it still counts. It scared him but he did do it all on his own so like I said, I'm counting it. I don't think Aaron could ask for more on his first Father's day.

Sleeping on the job

Beckham is not much of a running partner. As soon as we start running he is out. I try to talk to him to keep him awake but no such luck! Little does he know that I to wish I was asleep in the jogger instead of pushing it. If only chubby cheeks were as cute on adults!! Some day he'll be able to help motivate me and keep me company but until then sweet dreams Becks. 

Over the top

Every time my nephew Mason comes in town from Denver, he likes to arm wrestle Robert. It is hilarious. Mason is only 12 and he looks like he about 16... Mason is an awesome hockey player and is possibly going to go and play over in Russia. Anyway, this could possible be the last year Robert is actually able to bet Mason in arm wrestling. Robert my want to use Sylvester Stallone's move from Over the Top. Hat turned backwards and finger over the thumb move. When in doubt refer to the 80's!!!

Beckham's baby blessing

Aunt Danette Bought Beckham's blessing outfit... He looks like a little golfer, just like his dad.
Mikkel was excited to be at the blessing!!!!
    These two little girls are adorable, I couldn't ask for better nieces... Good work Scott and Lindsey!
                     Our little family

Sunday was an amazing day. Besides the fact that we had to have our families eat dinner in the garage, it's tough trying to fit 50 people into one house! It was the best, I can't remember the last time my whole family was in the same place at the same time! 

Beckham your Dad gave you the best blessing on Sunday. All of your family members were there and you could tell how much everyone loves you. I don't think you were put down all day long. The spirit was strong and my testimony of family grew even more. I only hope that I can be the type of Mom you can look up to and that you can talk to about things in your life. Your Dad and I both love you so much and hope the best for you.

After Beckham's blessing we all headed to Blackfoot for a B-day party for my aunt Kris. She is an amazing lady. Her whole life has been spent taking care of everyone else. A complete life of selfless acts. I look up to her a lot. Sunday was a day of family and I enjoyed every minute of it!

Rub a dub dub

This little duck tub has saved me! It was so hard trying to bath Becks in the tub. He was so slippery and hard to hold onto. In this little duck he can sit all by himself and he loves it. He will sit and play in the water until his little toes turn wrinkly and who doesn't love the smell of a fresh out of the tub baby! 

I'm trying to enjoy every new thing with this little man because it seems to be going so fast. I worked all day Monday and Tuesday, when I got him home Tuesday night I swear he was bigger and I had missed out on seeing him grow. 

I love you Beckham and I hope you never get sick of me kissing your chubby little cheeks!

The face of thrush

Poor Beckham.... When I dropped Beckham off at Deena's house yesterday she asked me what was on his tongue... I thought it was milk, which was really dumb of me because it wouldn't wipe off and it had been there all day, it's not like my breast milk is pasty or sticky. Anyway, she tells me it's thrush!!! It is a good thing this kid goes to someone else everyone once in awhile or who knows how long I would have thought he had milk on his taste buds!

The Doctor said for him to take this stuff over the counter called Gentian Violet for 3 days and if it doesn't clear up he will have to go see the Dr. The stuff stains his mouth purple and makes him look goth. I didn't taste it but by the look on B's face when I wiped it on his tongue, it's probably pretty nasty!

Thank you Deena for Diagnosing my son and saving me from what could have been a complete mess. I think we caught it early so it should clear soon!

Bring it on

I guess I have complained long enough about being fat. Aaron picked up the Wii active for me and I have started the 30 day challenge. So for it is a ton of squats, lungs, and jumping. I must say it is pretty fun and it logs your workouts and gives you rewards for your accomplishments. I do need my ego stroked for finishing workouts so this is perfect for me. I am on week number 2 and I don't plan on missing a workout because I don't want my Wii trainer to yell at me. 

I also have to thank my brother Robert and his wife Kristi for letting me use their jogging stroller. It was my last excuse why I wasn't running. They gave it to me on Saturday and I ran Yesterday. I made it half a mile and had to walk for a couple of minutes but I finished strong. By that I mean I finished. I went again today, even in the rain. I made it a little over a mile before I stopped and said hello to my sister in-law Lindsey. It was a much needed break. Beckham and I barely made it home before the rain started really coming down... 

So thank you to everyone who is helping me with my obesity!!! I am well on my way to finish my 30 day challenge.

Party Time

My youngest sister Kalli graduated from high school last weekend so of course it gave us an excuse to all get together and party. I love when my family can all come together. There is always food and some sort of crazy competition. This time we played some game where you try and throw a washer in a box and if it lands inside of it you get points, the first team to 11 wins. It was fun and I am not sure who thought of it. Here is a few pics of the family enjoying the game and being outside. 




For some of our family it was their first time seeing Beckham, so sorry Kalli, I didn't mean for him to still some of your thunder. He had so much attention all day from his cousins, Aunts, Uncles and of course Grandparents.  Little miss Avery J kept saying that Beckham was her baby, which is fitting because she also has a huge crush on Aaron. The last couple of pictures were taken by Avery. I think she will have a bright future in photography!
