Here is Beau's version of crawling. He has been doing it for over a month, but really cruises now. My camera battery died and I accidentally deleted some of the other ones, but you get the point. He will even get up on his hands and knees, but when he wants to go he falls to his stomach and takes off. It's pretty funny to watch especially when he is just in his diaper; he really moves then.

Beau's homemade walker

Beau has decided that he is a big boy and needs to learn how to walk. yesterday he climbed up to his laundry bin and took off walking all over the place. at one point he got bored with that and tried to lift his leg up to climb on it. good thing for short legs!!!!

Last weekend we went shooting again. Matt and Danny got my rifle sighted in for the deer hunt and he also got a little practice with his bow for his trip to Washington.



The ladies doing their thang. Don't worry I would trust them to provide if the world came to an end. I think this bow is cooler than the other ones by far!!!

this is my crazy nut job!!

This is one of Beau's favorite things. He loves to get the mail and see all the things he can tear up. Makes a mess of his little hands though

My helpy helperton!!!


the beginning of this week i bottled beets and peaches. ALL BY MYSELF!!!!!! well Beau helped... actually he made it much more difficult, so even more props to me. Now they aren't fair quality, but they should be edible. Anyone that knows me knows that I am not a very good homemaker. But i can now be called (as Denise calls it) BECKY HOMECKY!!! ok not really but every little bit counts. So thanks to everyone who helped me along the bottling excursion; i couldn't have done it without your help. maybe i could have but it would have been super scary.

So don't worry because i deleted a bunch of cute pictures and only know of a few of what actually got deleted. All i know is i deleted about twenty and i am really sad about it. So here are some of what's left.

Beau has decided that he can take off and get into all sorts of things.

WHAT FUN!!!


We went to my parents a bit ago and Beau spent his time chasing the dog around. he loves dogs and just squeals and laughs whenever they are near. Here is a pic of his crazy bed head. i deleted the better ones, but you can kinda see it. he is doomed with all the cowlicks that he has. he must have had a good nap to wake up cross-eyed. :)

Weekend Fun

So it took forever but I finally got our pictures off the laptop and onto the computer. YEA!!! This is going to be super long, sorry.

Several weekends ago ( i think 8/23) Matt's grandma was in town so we spent some time with her and also went boating with Danny, Ryan, Cristina, Teague, Matt's little sister and her boyfriend. Teague fell asleep in his body bag... what a trooper. Here are some pics.








I have been talking about going camping for about two years and finally in May we decided Labor day would be the weekend. But don't worry, I get to talk about it for another year at least because I didn't know where to go and then we ran out of time to reserve a site. Sorry Danny. We still managed to salvage the holiday with a sweet hike, a yummy home grilled hamburger, games, shooting, and a nap. The hike was absolutely beautiful. We even got to see a big bull moose that apparently was attacking people. It tried to attack us but Matt pulled out the ol' Crocodile Dundee move and he backed off. :) We must be like a sedative for Teague cuz he crashed again. Beau loved the hike more than I thought possible. He kicked, squealed, and laughed the entire time. Then the greatest thing in the world happened... he slept all night long for the first night EVER!!! I love hikes.






Here are some of the rest of that weekend. Army recruiters eat your heart out!!!




Beau actually did really well the gun shots didn't even phase him. I attribute that to going shooting when I was over 8 month pregnant and many other times.






Beau loves Danny, he thinks he is pretty funny!!!

The next weekend was Eli's baby blessing, but I forgot to get the ol camera out like usual. He is almost as big as Beau. He is such a big boy, and his cheeks are like oranges. I love them. I am going to have to send her the bigger clothes and have her pass them down when he grows out of them, cuz Beau isn't growing all that fast. :)
Then Matt's Grandparents were in town again for his Grandpa's Scoliosis Convention. It has been great getting to see them so often. Beau loves when his great Grandpa makes his Daffy Duck noises. He just laughs and laughs. I forgot the camera again with the stroller. My brain has been on overload lately. We get to see them again at Thanksgiving. They bought us tickets to go to AZ and see all the family. We are way excited and super grateful. We wouldn't be able to go otherwise. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!!!!
Then i went to a baby shower for a friend I haven't seen in forever. It was good to see them again.
The beginning of this week Matt went on a "Business Trip" ha ha to Flaming Gorge, so I took off and went to my sister's and my parents. It was lots of fun. We were going to pick 8 1/2 bushel of peaches with two babies, but after one we decided they weren't quite ready... and i don't mean the babies. So much for me trying to be domestic. HA HA!!!
Well Beau just woke up, so I will have to put the other pictures up later. He isn't conducive to doing.... well anything!!!!!
