Mom & Jordyn's Birthday

The last few weeks we have had two birthdays of two of my favorite people. It was my moms birthday on August 26. For her Birthday Beckham and I took her to Zupas. She had never been so I thought it would be a fun place to go because she loves soup. My grandma Louise came with us as well. It was so much fun. For her birthday I gave her a cute Halloween hat and some cute dishes and serving dishes. That night my dad took us all to dinner. We all went Brick Oven. It was a lot of fun. We dont ever go out with my parents so it was a nice change. My mom seen her best friend from high school, Stacey. She was so excited. They talked forever. I didnt take any pictures but it was a good day. I love my mom. She is such an amazing example to me. We have had our differences but it has all paid off in the end. She is one of my best friends and I would be lost without her.



On September 1 it was Jordyn's thirteenth birthday. I can not believe how old she is and she is so cute. For her Birthday I wanted to make her feel special. She is such a sweet girl and has had some hard times in her little life. I made her a sucker bouquet. It turned out so cute. Beckham and I took it to her at school along with balloon's and flowers. She loved them. I am so fortunate to have an amazing sister in law that is always willing to make me flowers and get me balloons when I need them for things. It is definitely my thing to give flowers to everyone for everything. I'm sure Shayla gets sick of it but she is always so sweet and willing to help me. My mom and I went and picked Jordyn up for school and she was such a happy little girl. I love her so much. That night we went to dinner and then back to my moms for cake. I think she had a good birthday. She was definitely very spoiled for her birthday.









After her birthday party was pretty much over and Jordyn went to bed Beckham was sill playing and crawled underneath the chairs and he wanted his grandpa's to do it too. He first tried to get my Grandma Paul to go under, well that didnt happen, so he pushed him aside and grabbed my dads hand pushed him to do it. I never laughed so hard. We were all amazed that my dad could actually fit and do it.

Kayla Sue's Shower

This last weekend I threw a baby shower for one of my very best friends. It has been so much fun spending time with her like we use to and planning this shower. She's having a little boy, so Beckham and cute baby Stetzyn are going to be best of buddies I just know it. We'll Kayla's husband Landon ropes and rodeos and farms so I thought it would only be appropriate to do the theme Cowboy/Western, and that is what his nursery was going to be. Well I am obsssed with turquoise and red these days so I decided they would be my color scheme and them some browns. We'll it turned out adorable. I found the cutest invites that I knew I could make. Kayla was so sweet and was always wanting to help. It took us two days to do the invites but it was totally worth it. I would do it again in a heart beat. Kayla wanted to do a bunch of fruit dishes and crepes. They were so good. Between my mom and I we have made them three times this week and it's only Thursday.

Well a few days before Kayla was put on bed rest and so she was just to sit and let everyone wait on her. Well she ended up having cute little Stetzyn Sunday night. He was ten weeks early but he is a dang cute little boy. I cant wait until I can go see him in person instead of just pictures. Kayla is a tough gal. I can not believe how positive and happy she has been through all of this. I would be a wreck but she is so strong. I look up to her in every way after seeing her strength and testimony of the gospel. She is great example to me and I am so glad we are close again. She is amazing. So every one keep her and her little guy Stetzyn in your prayers.

The Ranch 2011

This year at the Ranch was so much fun with all the Sperry's. Beckham had tons of little kids to play with and he was in heaven. We love it up there at the Ranch. It is so relaxing. Beckham has been playing with Rowan a little bit here and there and they are the cutest little boys. I just love them both.






We've also had a couple things change in our lives. Britt quit Sprinkler World and is now working with his cousins doing Cabinets and custom furniture. He is loving it and I am loving it. He is able to come home in a crisis and can watch Beckham for a few minutes if I have to go to the doctors or other appointments where he cant go.

Summer 2011

This summer has been crazy busy. I feels like we haven't stopped for two seconds. We spent a lot of time having fires up at the Ranch. We spent a few days down at the Cabin and we have spent a lot of time making furniture for our house and my crafts. This summer has brought a lot of changes our way as well. Britt changed jobs a few weeks ago. That was a lot of talking and thinking and discussing if it was the right move and now that he has done it, it definitely was. He loves working with his cousins doing something he loves and he doesn't have to deal with co-workers and company drama. It was a good move and it has made our life a lot happier. Beckham has grown so much. He has got to be the smartest 18 month old ever. He knows how to plug everything it. He knows how to plug our phones into the chargers and into the computer. His favorite thing to do is play in the shop with his dad and build. We bought him his own tools that he can play with so he doesnt get hurt. He loves his dad more then anything. He is talking like crazy. We attempted swimming lessons last week and they did go to well so hopefully when we try again in a couple of weeks it will work out. We also took the Paci away. I had to wait to do it until I knew Britt was going to be gone a lot so he would give it back to him once he started crying. We'll he did awesome. He went right to sleep without it and hasnt looked back until yesterday when he found them in the desk but I got it before it went in the mouth and threw them all away.

Funny Things Beckham's doing:

He screams for DAAAAA (dad) all the time and it gets very loud.
When he is hungry, hurt, or his dad tells him no its Maaaaa (mom.
Everything is a ball and everything gets thrown.
When we pull up to my Gma Louises he instantly starts saying WAWA (water/hose/swimming). He loves the hose. When we swim there it is on the whole time.
He loves his Aunt Jordyn. She cant leave without him freaking out and he throws a fit.
He loves to climb. Our coffee table is his favorite. He pulls the drawers out of it and uses them as stairs or a bench to sit on.
He loves watching movies. Gnomeo and Juliet was his favorite, but I cant take it anymore so we have moved onto Cars and A Bugs Life.
When he gets in trouble he hugs and kisses you like dont be mad I love you.
He does not like sitting in carts. He always stands up so when I say sit down he hugs and pats my back so I cant sit him down right away.
He LOVES tools, and power tools to be exact. Whenever we go to Home Depot and he sees a drill he makes a shzzzz shzzz sound like the drill and the sanders. It is so funny. We finally had to buy him his own set so he didnt take off with the real ones.
If we give Beckham anything to eat on his own at my moms he instantly throws it on the floor for Shaq to get. He also torments the crap out of Shaq. He grabs his tail, pinches his tail in his toes, pokes his eyes, and so much more. He is a bully.

Beckham definitely keeps our lives interesting and fun. We have had so much fun with him this summer.

State Champs

This post should have been done months ago, but with work and Beckham I have had zero time. This year was Lyndsey's senior year and she was lucky enough to win the 4A Softball Championship this year. She was also named MVP by multiple sources and play on the all start team, and won that. It was a very eventful week to say the least. The same week of the state tournament she also graduated and almost didn't get to walk because of the tournament but since we had such lovely weather that week the games were rained out and she got to walk with her class! I am so very proud of her. She is an amazing athlete and an amazing young lady. I will be very sad when she leaves and moves to SLCC for two years. It will be weird without having her here, even though we never see her since she is 18 and gone all the time, jk. We love her and are very proud of everything she has accomplished. Love you Lynds.
