6 Weeks

This was my solution to speeding up bed time tonight. Combine desert and bath time=no mess!
Who doesn't want bubbles on their Popsicle. Don't judge me.

Gracey is loving bath time with brother

Gracey just had her 2 year check up. She weighs 24 lbs but is 75% for height. She loves the beach and the park. Gracey is easily excited (and upset) and likes playing mom to her two baby dolls, both named Tina. (the name of my childhood baby doll) She has an amzaing appetite. This girl can down an entire slice of costco pizza. She eats curry, sushi, spicy....you name it. She loves to color and build animals out of her blocks and never stops talking. I love listening to "Gracey's interpretation on life"


6 weeks old

9 1/2 lbs.
22 inches
has a cute little dimple on his left cheek
sleeps from 11-4 during the day
is now only waking up once at night. YAAAA!
when awake he wants to be held.
grunts when he is awake
eyes are still blue
will need a hair cut in the coming month
and everyday he reminds me more and more of Gracey, big eyes, hates the car and loves to wiggle!



Beckham's Blessing Day

Grammy and Papa-proud grandparents of 5

We enjoyed Beckham's blessing at home with all my family,Garrett and Whitney and some close friends. It was such a fun day. Big Chris Catering did a fabulous job putting on the dinner. It was so nice to be able to enjoy all of our company and not worry about cooking. Plus, the food was to die for.

Aunt Whitney and Uncle Garrett spoil my kids rotten. They are always stopping by with little surprises that make Gracey's day and have been known to whisk her away for an evening of frozen yogurt and an overload of attention. Love you both!



Love these pictures of Gracey at the park in Avila Beach while visiting my mom. This girl keeps us thoroughly entertained with her hilarious thoughts and never ending energy.

I have been managing pretty well with 2 kids. I try to keep my commitments to a minimum and just enjoy being a mom to Gracey and Beckham. I am loving being back at jazzercise after being off for a few weeks and going on runs again.

Rob came home from Indo, had a few days off and started preparing for trial. He is on day #2 of trial, we hope he dominates:) He has been extremely busy with work but, we did get a chance to take Gracey to the movie Up this weekend and grabbed a blizzard from DQ on Friday night.

This is what Gracey told everyone during the 2 weeks Rob was gone.

"Daddy is on a boat, with Ryan, in Indonesia, looking for waves, going surfing"

Here is a glimpse of what they found in the Mentawais. They brought along a professional photographer to capture their trip. The surf was incredible and we are glad he is home safe.

BROTHER & SISTER

Hello from Santa Maria!
Gracey has been talking about seeing the horses at Grammy's since we were here at Thanksgiving time. So, with a little help from my mom we made our way up here for a few days. The weather has been beautiful and it has been really nice to get out of my house.


Taking a snooze on Uncle J's bed.


My mom took Gracey to church with her today. Gracey had fun in their nursery and came home telling me what a good girl she was. I stayed home and went on a great walk and had some snuggle time with Beckham.

Welcome to our Family! I have had my eye on this jogger for quite some time...it is as freaking amazing as I had hoped. Yaaaa! I can't wait to start running again.


4 positions for your toddler(s) or baby. Love it! I am glad I don't have to drive a double wide!

2 WEEKS

Happy Mothers Day!


My mom in her glory... all 5 grand kids spend the day together.


Baby Beckham with his Grammy


The highlight of our day was our phone conversation with my brother Justin. He will be home from Croatia in August. YAAAAA!

Gracey has been so sweet with her little brother. She loves to kiss and snuggle with him. He is such a good baby that she has been able to remain center of mommy's attention.


Rob left for Indonesia this last Thurs and will be gone surfing epic waves for 2 weeks. We miss him and can't wait for our hot daddy to return. Catch one for me Rob:)

Beckham has been such a love. It is so fun having a newborn around again.
We have kept the grandparents and aunts and uncles extremely busy this last week. We appreciate all the help and are so grateful our kids are loved!

Day #1 at Home
