Father's Day

 This post is to honor the wonderful men in my life. First off my wonderful husband. I don't think I can brag enough about how wonderful Brad is, he is the best man I know. He has been the best dad to our children. I love how he plays with our kids. Ryker can't wait for his dad to get home to play with him. He is so loving with our kids and wants nothing but the best for them. Brad is such a hard worker and I know that he would do anything for our family. He is a wonderful man and treats me like a queen. I can't say enough how grateful I am for everything he puts up with. He is my rock :) as cheesy as it sounds. There is no one in the world I would rather talk to or be with. I love that I can be crazy and he will be crazy with me. I know I can trust him with anything. I love how he is great with fixing things and figuring things out. I love you Brad!


The second man in my life is my own father. I love him so much! We have not always seen eye to eye but once I grew up, I realized he only had my best interest in mind. He has taught me so much and I know I am who I am because of him. I get some of my "best" traits from him. I know that if I have a problem I can call him and he will help me. He is one of the first people I call when I have news. He is a great man. I had many wonderful experiences in my life because of him. He taught me to ski, snow and water. How to play softball even though I hated it. How to work hard in school and keep trying. I knew what to look for in a husband because of him. He showed me how important it is to have a husband who works hard to provide for his family. I also know how important it is for a dad to make time for his family. I love how my dad would go on field trips with me.  I love my dad so much!

  So to the wonderful men in my life, I love you and thank you!

11 Month Beasties!!

So I haven't blogged for awhile, 1. I am lazy 2. I don't think people really read these 3. Sick kids... enough said. So here is what has been happening in our house.

 Sophie now has 6 teeth! Four on top and two on bottom. She doesn't like to cuddle but loves to be held. She is a princess, if Beckett comes near her she can cry on touch. She is my skinny peanut she weighs 17 lbs. 12 month clothes are big on her. She loves to clap and wave. She has a beauty pageant wave. She is full on crawling now, she will either scoot on one knee or stink bug crawl (after all a lady can't have rough knees). She will pull herself to standing positions in a few places, like her crib. She is still a picky eater but will eat most things besides bananas. She loves mashed potatoes. She hates the stairs, she fell down 3 and now refuses to have anything to do with them. Speaking of her falling down the stairs, she refused to put weight on her left leg or crawl which scared me so I took her to the doctor. He didn't think it was anything but had her get x-rays just to make sure. Everything ended up being fine and it was just inflammation from her ear infection. As far as ear infections go Sophie is on her 4th so she has to get tubes put in. Sophie loves Ryker and he loves to make her laugh. She also loves to tease Beckett. She takes his pacifier and wave them in front of his face. She is a fun little girl and is great when she is happy.

 Beckett is my chunky monkey! It is amazing how he and Sophie have changed, Sophie used to be my easy going one and Beckett was more work. However, Beckett is now very mellow and happy. Beckett loves the bath. He stands outside the tub every time I shower and tries to get in/ yell at me. He loves to drop toys into the shower so I have to pick them up. One night while I was helping get Ryker ready for the bath Beckett climbed/ fell into the water fully clothed. He loves to crawl and his knees prove it (rough patches on his knees). I love when I lay him down to go to bed and his fat little belly pokes out. He loves to wrestle with Brad. He loves to play with Ryker and and will follow him everywhere. Beckett is my cuddle bug. He has two teeth with a handsome smile. He also has 2 ear infections right now and will have to get tubes put in. He has a high pain tolerance apparently one ear looks like it will rupture but he hasn't complained once. Beckett likes to wave. He opens and closes his little fat fingers. He loves to eat and will eat most anything.
