Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!

I love you so much Mom and Dad!  Congratulations on 32 years of marriage!!!  Y'all have set such a awesome example of how to love so unconditionally.  I am so thankful to have both of you as parents.  I wonder how we got so lucky to be born into such a loving and caring family.  I hope you both have a wonderful day.  Here's some recent pictures:

Beau LOVES looking outside!

Trying to put his brush in the fireplace!

Playing with the gatorades we had for the goodie bags for Paige's players

THIS IS FUN!!!!!!!!

I love this position!  So cute!

This boy loves his daddy!

Then I wanted a cute picture with him and he would not have it!  He was just reaching for Paige.  I'm an old shoe.  :.......(

Looking out the window at Paige and some other coaches.

Come on guys.  I wanna play.

I've got blocks!!

Splish splash!!

Beau

Beau has been so fun and sweet lately!  He sleeps so great during the night which sometimes makes me sad because I miss him when he's sleeping.  Paige even wants him to sleep with us at night because he misses him so much now that he working all hours!  We tried last night but Beau wasn't having it!  I guess he just likes his own space.  :(

Here's some pictures of him playing and being sweet:

He loves dragging his blanket around everywhere.

 

 

Our Last Day of Summer :(

Here I am with my favorite little man!  Our last day summer together!  (He's so sad!  Ha!)

Beau LOVES these blocks!  He will literally play with them FOREVER!  This baby has quite the attention span.

So, Beau has never really cared about watching TV.   Until I started noticing that every time Carrie Underwood would come on, he would stop whatever he was doing and stare at the TV.  It's hilarious!  he doesn't do it for anyone or anything else (except now he stares when Zac Brown's song "Free" comes on... I love that song!).  So here he is this morning GLUED to the TV, stopped in the middle of playing, to stare at his girlfriend!  

Beau was so excited to get a birthday present from Aunt Fray and Uncle Adam!!  A vacuum cleaner!!!  Now he can learn to be as OCD as I am!  (And Adam!  ha!)  So "THANK YOU" Aunt FrayFray and Uncle Adam!!!  Beau LOVES it!

"I'm done cleaning!  Now I'm gonna attack my momma!!!!  ROARRRRR!!!"

Last night Beau slept so much! 14 hours to be exact! Sarah says he making up for the whole YEAR that he didn't sleep. Ha ha! Well, when he woke up he was ready to play, then he napped (as if he hadn't slept enough), and then we played some more. It was such a great day! Here are some pictures of him on his new "obstacle course!" (And then a few videos of course, too.)

Here he is, STUCK!  That big 'ol booty!  Poor thing!

Here he is eating some pancakes, and boy does he love them!  He is just smacking away!  I'm going to miss making him pancakes and muffins for breakfast every day.  I have to start back work in the morning (Wednesday).  :)

Eating....well, kinda

So I feel like Beau spends a lot of time in his highchair! This boy loves to eat! Well, usually. Tonight here is what he did when I turned my back for one second:

Beau's First Birthday

On Saturday we celebrated our baby boy's first birthday! This year has just flown by and we cannot believe how much Beau has changed and how much he has learned to do. What a blessing he is to our whole family. We are so thankful for such a sweet and healthy boy. Here are some pictures from his birthday party~

Eating birthday cake

Watching the bubbles from his bubble machine

Watching Daddy play cornhole and cheering him on!

Look at me on my new toy!

Soaking Up Summer

This has been a great week here for our little family. Beau is getting huge and cutting his first tooth! He has also started sleeping through the night! This has been a long time coming for me. I still wake up every morning around 3 and check on him and then lay awake til 4. Guess I'm so used to doing it for the last 11 months.

Here are some pictures from our week. I'm just trying to soak up spending every second with this baby because before I know it I'll be back to teaching. :(

Here is Beau with my friend Carrie's little girl. Aubrey was born 4 days before Beau came. Beau is about 8 pounds heavier than she is and he looks a lot taller too! We tried so hard to get a good picture of them.

Beau looks worried in this one.

Here he goes bitting her butt! Love it!

"What's this, Mommy? Looks like something I should yank really hard!"

I love this one. He made his way to our front door and pulled himself right up. He just stood there looking outside forever!

Caught red-handed!!

Beau loves watching Daddy grill!

Look at these chunky legs!!!

I just love this baby so much, and I feel so lucky that I have gotten to spend so much time with him this summer!

4th of July

This has been such a fun weekend so far! Yesterday, we picked Sarah up from the airport! Then, we ran some errands in Wichita and got Beau's hair cut, again! (The first one looked like a bowl cut!) Now he looks so grown up! :( Last night, we went to dinner with some friends, and today we have been hanging out and relaxing! Here are some pictures and videos of Beau having fun! I LOVE THIS SWEET BABY!
