What a fun Christmas 2009!

We had a very fun and busy Christmas! We spent Christmas Eve at Bebe and Pops with Granny, the Gilmore's and the Coates. After doing presents at our house Christmas morning we went back to open presents with Bebe and Pops and the Gilmores and ate Christmas lunch. Then we drove to Hot Springs and did Christmas with BamBam and Poppy, the Kings, Foo Foo and Jo Jo, Aunt Mel and Ron, the Coverts, and the Tuckers. It was wild and crazy and Beckett didn't want to miss a thing! This Christmas will go down and the Christmas all we did was play games! From Farkle, to ping pong, to Big Twos, to Nertz, to Wii, to Smart***, WE PLAYED IT ALL!!!! Here are a few pictures I had.

Beckett waiting his turn to play in the Ping Pong tournament. Congrats to Jennifer for the win!

20 days of meds...

Pretty much the whole month of December Beckett had an ear infection. He was on antibiotics for 20 days... Can you tell???

"All you have to do is squirt it in your mouth."
"I promise it doesn't taste bad!"

"Who's next?"

I never get tired...

of these FACES!

Devil by day, Lion by night

One of my parents from last year let us borrow the cute lion costume this year for Halloween. The funny thing was that Beckett had no clue he had it on...When he saw himself in the mirror he still didn't care that he was covered with fur!

Getting ready to go Trick-or-Treating

For his party at school Beckett was "A Little Devil." Bradley didn't really think it was appropriate to send him to a church daycare as a devil but I thought it was amusing!

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday

I had Beckett's bouncy chair out while we kept McKenzie a few weeks ago. Apparently Beckett's not quite ready to give it up.

2nd Annual Trip to Bikes, Blues, and BBQ

We went a few weekends ago to Bikes, Blues, and BBQ in Fayetteville. Sarah, Travis, and Taylor let us stay with them for the weekend and we had so much fun! Beckett and Taylor love watching all the bikes on Dickson and their moms and dads enjoy eating all the food. This was our second year to go so, hopefully, we can make it a tradition!

Chores!

We make Beckett do his chores every night after bath time. Bradley has been training him hard to take over mowing the lawn.

Go Hogs!

We had a few couples over to watch the game on Saturday and had a blast! We hardly missed being in Fayetteville at all! But watching football sure is different with the little people running around. However, the guys didn't seem to have any trouble!

Beckett's buddy George wasn't feeling very well but Beckett kept climbing up to sit with him and his momma anyways!
Calling the Hogs? No just the new camera face...

Future husband and wife watching their first game together!

Someone is resorting back to their baby days. George said, "Dude, you're too big for that thing!"

Wordless Wednesday

Crab hole, crab hole, I found a crab hole!

Ok, so probably only Michele and I will find that title funny but I just couldn't resist. The beginning of August my family went to Fort Morgan and it was Aidan and Ethan's first time at the beach. They were so cute and loved crab hunting at night. Michele and I got so tickled because Ethan would belt out "Crab hole, Crab hole, I found a crab hole" whenever he found one!

Beckett says enough talking MommaShelle!

One of my favorite pics!

BamBam entertaining Beckett since it was about 3 hours past his bedtime.

Three kids waitng to go for a ride.

Chris trying to squeeze in the bumper boat. The funniest thing was this 12 year old girl followed them the whole time sqirting them. The boats go slow and Chris couldn't do anything about it. Too funny!

Sometimes...

You just gotta take a nap.
You gotta find a good place to read.

You gotta get in touch with your girly side.

Well Beckett's almost 14 months so I should probably post his 12 month stats so I don't forget them and so I have some sort of record of them.

1. Weight: 21 lbs (20%)

2. Height 34 inches (81%)

3. 8 teeth

4. Lover of any type of carbs

5. Been know to sleep until 9:30 or 10:oo am (wish that would last...)

6. Can't get enough of the outside

7. Has the toughest feet- walks on rocks!

8. Is either laughing or whining

9. Loves to wrestle on the floor

10. Talks a lot but we still don't understand much of what he says

11. Can give open mouth kisses but they are pretty hard to come by

12. Still on the move 10 hours a day...The rest of the time he's asleep!

Playing at the beach

We took Beckett on his first trip to the beach in the middle of July with Bradley's side of the family. We had so much fun we talked my family into going back Wednesday for a few days! (Glad he likes the sand and water because his parents sure do!) Here are some pictures from the first trip. These are just the ones we took with out camera so I know Sarah's will be better.

I guess only Pops follows directions about looking at the camera...
