We are living the good life this summer. It is full of pools, never ending watermelon, friends and the occasional tackle!


Sophia and Beckham are good buddies. Beckham loves to climb all over a Sophia and the crawl or "frankenstein" away waiting for Sophia to catch him.
Here they are in their jammies posing for a photo op before bed.
Beckham walks around with a burp wrag in his mouth about 60 percent of the day. It is pretty darn cute :)
Sophia and Aaron "resting the couch" before bedtime.
Beckham loves to open his mouth wide and smash his face into any part of you that you will let him. Sophia kept letting him do it to her and then she would tell him (while shaking her finger) "No! No! eating people, Beckham!"

a little late...but here is our little man at one!

Wal-mart fun!

All work...no play!

We miss you, Aaron! Thanks for working so hard and providing so well for our family. :) You are an amazing husband, dad, friend and companion.

NEBER, NEBER, NEBER!!!!

Sophia has learned a new phrase to communicate her frustration. When Sophia does not want something to happen she says...

"I neber, neber, neber...eat my dinner."
"I neber, neber, neber...share my car."
"I neber, neber, neber...go night night."

It is hard to discipline because it is so darn funny. However something tells me when she is 5 and saying it then it might not be so cute. Right?


Beckham is doing great! Results from his MRI are in. The neurosurgeon says he is not sure what exactly the growth in B's brain is but at this point it is not causing any damage and does not appear to be problematic so...we will just wait. In another 6 months we will do another MRI to check the growth. Hopefully it will be the same and we will not have to take any action. :)

On a lighter note...we took new family photos a few months ago. Here are a few.

The good and the bad

Beckham took a little tumble last week and so we took him in to get his head checked out. After a couple hours in the ER the doctor told us that the cat scan revealed his head to be fine from the fall. However they did find (what appears to be) a cyst on his brain. In that moment time stood still. I can't explain the emotion we felt.
Sine then we have decided not to worry until we know more. (nice in theory, right?) :) next week he will go under general antesthesia for an MRI and then we will consult with a pediatric neurosurgeon.
Well, today my little guy pulled up for the first time!


And for that moment...my worries, concerns and fears vanished. I was just so excited for my little boy who is growing up.
