Happy Birthday to me!

Tuesday the 13th was my birthday, and I had to post a picture of the wonderful homemaking skills of my husband. I got cake decorating stuff for Christmas and Dan decided they needed to be broken in and what a perfect occasion.

Christmas Break

We are just a tad behind on the Christmas pics, but it's better late than never. We got to spend two weeks down in IF/Shelley. We had a great time and the time went way to fast, we were back home before we knew it. Here are a few pics of the trip and Bekam enjoying his very first Christmas. He of course was more interested in the wrapping paper and boxes than the actual presents.Here is a pic of our lovely driving conditions on the way down and Bekam learning to drive. This is a pic before we left home, but I couldn't resist look at that smile!

Not a big fan!

Our ward had a Christmas party and of course Santa stopped by for a little visit. And I thought "oh yeah" what a fun little picture opportunity of Bekam's first Santa experience. But apparently I was wrong, Bekam did not agree. He lasted about a half a second before the water works started and the sheer terror of Old St. Nick was very apparent on his face. But hey he's never received any presents for him yet so maybe next year his feelings will have changed.

LOOK OUT WORLD!

Bekam has officially mastered the army crawl, within like two seconds. Dan and I were watching a movie and I noticed out of the corner of my eye that he was moving forward. And sure enough he was going to get his toy on his own. He looked as if he had been doing it for months. Now I can't keep him out of anything! We were trying to get him to crawl so we could get this video and he wasn't interested in anything we were offering, but as soon as we put Dan's cellphone down he started to book it. He truly is his father's son!

Happy Halloween!!

Here is our cute little Casper. I've never seen a cuter ghost. Plus we didn't have to paint his face cause he's already so white. Here's the pumpkins we carved, mine of course is the coolest cause it's the guy from Nightmare Before Christmas. I forgot to take pics of them that night so they were already starting to wilt by the time I remembered.

Yummy Cereal!!!

We started Bekam on Cereal last night and it was hilarious. The first bite he just stared at Dan and I, like what the crap did you just put into my mouth. But after a few bites we couldn't get it into his mouth fast enough! He looks so old in that high chair, I can't believe he's six months today. That last pic is Bek's favorite way to sit with Dad.

The Final Cut

So I finally got brave and I whacked off my hair. The first cut before she washed it was 9 in. and after that she had to have cut off another 4 in. at least. So here's before... And here's after...

Sweet things come in small packages

So I was bored and saw this box and thought hmmm I wonder if Bek would fit in here. Sure enough, and he lasted for quite awhile before he wanted to get out.

Haircut, new toy, and a pumpkin

I haven't posted in awhile cause nothing too exciting has been going on until this week. Bekam had a pretty gross rooster tail goin on so we cut that off. We also bought him a jumperoo that he loves. He always wants to be standing up so this is perfect. And then today we went to the Pumpkin Patch that WSU grows. It was a little chilly and Bekam hated the wind, but we ended up with some pretty sweet pumpkins.

Moving on up

I haven't posted anything in a while and I still don't have too many pictures to post. It has been a crazy couple of months, but we finally got moved up to Moscow. We've been here about a week and it's going well, Dan started school on Monday and so far so good. Here's a picture of us at the Lentil festival in Pullman, WA. Behind us is a big vat that they have chili made from lentil beans, not the best chili, but hey it was free. Here are a few pics of Bek, he's getting so big. I tried to get video of him rolling over, but of course as soon as I get the camera on him he stops. So here are some pics of him in the process of rolling over.

It's Official

Here are a few pics from graduation last Friday. I received my bachelors degree in social work. It was a great night, it feels so good to finally be done. I've been in school for so long that I don't really know what to do with myself, but I have Bekam to keep me busy now.

Bekam's Blessing

Here are just a couple of pics outside the church after the blessing, if you can't tell it was a little sunny. Bekam was pretty pimp in his vest and bow tie.

Fourth of July

I finally got him smiling on camera, it took a few tries but I got it. We are really bad at taking pictures...you would think that we would be better now that we have a baby. We always take the camera but then forget to actually use it. So we didn't get any pictures during the day on the fourth, but we took a couple once we got home cause Bekam was being pretty cute. . This pic was from Sunday after a nice long walk. He must have taken in a lot around him judging from the size of his eyes!

B-25 at the Rexburg Airshow

The video is from the golf course where I was volunteering as a crowd controller. Had to keep people off the course. Pretty dang good view most of the time, this was a little far away though.

Trail 70 vs. The Dogs

This movie is from the Blackberry so its quality at a larger scale isn't that good.

It's all about Bekam now!

What a Stud! Keeps getting bigger..not really taller.

This was Bekam at Week 7. This was when Bekam was first home. Week 1.

Hangin with the Little guy!
