Halloween

Chicken Little with his Dad.

Aaron was pretty upset I didn't buy him a chicken costume so he had to steal Beck's

We didn't have to many stops for trick or treating

so we thought we would be home for all the

ghost and goblins to come get treats

the only ones who came were Oliva, Noah, Madilynn,

Deena, and Todd...

They looked cute as always!

Happy Halloween!

The biggest Loser

I have truly been blessed in my life.

I have had obstacles to over come but nothing that one couldn't bare.

After watching this season of The Biggest Loser I realize how lucky I am

Abby was voted off last night and watching her story is heart wrenching.

Losing your husband and 2 kids in a car accident...

I kept thinking about it and I hope I never know how that would feel.

My family is my life

From the beginning, I decided to place my family #1 priority.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

so after the show was over, I picked Beckham up out of his crib, snuggled him and gave him Eskimo kisses and laid him back in his crib. I moved into our bedroom and found Aaron the same way I found Beckham, tucked under the covers, sleeping. I slid in next to him and wiggled my way in until he cuddled me. I was so happy, just laying and thinking how grateful I was to be able to do the simple little thing of loving my family.

(Just for the record, not all reality TV is bad!)

When the men go hunting the ladies get to hang out

The weekend started off with a little drum playing with Aunt Mikkel.

After seeing how much fun the McBride kids were having in the leaves

Beck had to get in on it!

After playing in the leaves, we headed over to the bouncy house.

I think I had more fun than the kids.

I feel bad I didn't take my camera but I am pretty sure Kristi DID!

Get posting lady.

And little Beck did not come home empty handed

He has been non-stop in this thing since we bought it. He LOVES to jump. I think it wears him out because he as been sleeping like a mad man ever since we got home. It couldn't possible be the lack of sleep he had at Grandma McBrides.

We are looking forward to Thanksgiving so we can hang out with everyone again.

Thanks for the good times!

Not all battles are worth winning

The other day Beckham slept so good. He was like a little angel holding his favorite bear and snoring a little, he sounds like a purring cat.

Then today!

MR. B did NOT want to take a nap...

One thing I have learned from being a mom is, sometimes the battle is not worth winning!

U PICK

Beckham got to pick out his very own pumpkin this year, or Actually I picked it for him, but he loved every minute of it!!!

Beckham was really wanting to ride the train... Next year pal, next year!

We had such a good time I didn't want to leave...

This halloween season has been a blast! I look forward to next year when Beck is walking and he can enjoy it a little more. Until then we have PUMPKINS to carve.

7 months and counting

Yesterday Beckham turned 7 months old... I can hardly believe it, where does the time go?

When Beck woke up yesterday I was really excited to run into his room and sing happy 7 month old birthday to him but when I scooped him up into my arms he threw up all over me,

DISGUSTING!

He ended up being sick all day and wanted to be held and loved so I am just now getting the chance to post his 7 month post.

The new things Beckham likes to do.

He loves to eat anything and everything. I mainly stick to baby food from a jar but when he's eyeing something he usually gets a taste.

He is starting to move a little more on the ground. No, he is no where close to crawling but he is rolling like no ones business and he has figured out that if you want a toy at the end of the blanket you can pull the blanket closer to you.

He LOVES to YELL. It's as if he just realized he has a voice and he Loves to hear it.

If he is tired he will only sleep in his crib. If we are out and about he refuses to close his eyes. He will fight it until we get home, or actually he waits while we are driving until we are seconds away from our drive way than he falls asleep. When I go to put him in his crib, big production, tears, screams, and a lot of thrashing around in the crib!

My favorite thing about Beck right now is his LAUGH. If you can get him going he will laugh and laugh. It makes all the rough times of getting vomited on and yelled at all worth wild!!

LOVE YOU BECK

(this is Beckham trying to get to the camera)

Still a little wobbly pal!

Perfect Saturday

Our day was filled with lots of fall fun activities!

Aaron spent the day working at harvest fest, sellin the funnel cakes, we stopped in and said hello. It turned out to be a great day.

It was suppose to snow, that's why Beck is in the snow suit!!!

When Beck and I got home we had lots of decorating to do... it's spook time!!

So if you live by us this is what you're getting... CRAZY looking cupcakes, caramel apples, and dumb dumb suckers! I best stop writing, we have doorbells to ring!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Preparing for winter.

I was going through Beckham's clothes and checking to see what would fit him for the winter and what wouldn't. Deena had bought him this little hat and it fits perfect!!

It is going to keep his head and little ears warm while we go for our walks and jogs. I would hate to have to keep Beck inside all winter... he loves it outside. So this is all we have so far, a nice warm winter hat from Aunt Deena!!

He is still wanting to lick the camera while I take his picture

I know all the pictures look the same but as a mom I had to post them all, he cracks me up! When I first put the hat on him, he kept trying to look up at it.

Then he started to do this thing where he would hold his breath, grunt, and flex his muscles...

He must take after his Dad!

We'll never let go...

Summer maybe over and we will probably get our first snow storm today but that doesn't mean we can't still go swimming!

Beckham loves to be in the tub with his tube.

Aaron hates this thing because it was actually recalled because the seat has been falling out of the bottom. I can see the danger but,

I am too lazy to return it but I want to use because I paid for it so lucky for us Beck can kick it in the tub and if the bottom falls out I'll be right there to grab him.

Mommy moment

Last night around 6:00 pm, I had just laid Beckham down for the night. Dinner was done and Aaron had not gotten home from work yet. I sat down in the recliner

(that we had to have because Beckham would love it, he hates it)

and looked around.

All of Beckhams toys were scattered around the living room. His books all over the computer desk, water bottles, spoons, and whatever else I had used to feed Beckham all over the counter top, a pile of laundry on the couch, and I couldn't have cared less. All I wanted to do was put my feet up and read my book (good recommendation Kristi).

That's when I had one of those moments,

I truly am a Mom and I love it!

Here are the pictures that you asked for DANETTE!!

Now when he wants picked up he puts his hands in the air and looks around until someone grabs him. I wasn't quite quick enough to catch them all the way in the air.

He is now wanting to play with the camera, cell phone, computer

and anything else that is not made for babies!

And forgive me it is laundry day.

Deena asked me earlier what I was thinking with his outfit, so I thought I would clear the air for the rest of you!
