So I am extremely sorry for how long it has been since I have updated our blog!!!!! Here is some of what we have been doing for the last month +

This is Beau's Easter bucket!! He loves to put things on his head and walk around. He thinks it is the coolest thing and funniest thing ever!!! Needless to say he loved this and would do it everyday for as long as possible.

On Easter Kathy and Danny came down and spent the day with us. I made lasagna and it was bad. I didn't write an ingredient down on my recipe which happened to be tomato sauce.... that ingredient shouldn't make a big deal, right??? Oh wait... it's the key ingredient... oh well leave it to me they were nice and ate it anyway. Sorry guys!! Danny got to be the Easter Bunny and hid the eggs we had filled for Beau. He is such a trooper!!!

These are my two favorite pictures!!!!

He didn't really get it at first and had to open every single one that he picked up before he could move on. He got better at the end and decided to double fist them. Every time we would have him put them in the bucket he would try to grab another one out!!

He has a super cute smile in the second picture if you click on it.

I think this picture is funny, cuz it proves my point that Beau is Matt's clone!!

These are just some pictures we had. I am an idiot and accidentally erased a ton of pictures when we got a new camera. I was super sad, but here are some from before the switch!

He loves his train and sits on it all the time. He kicks his legs back thinking that will make it go fast.

I set him on the counter when I brush his teeth and he likes to scoot himself into the sink. I guess it is pretty cozy or something.

He was carrying a box of cereal around one morning while I was making breakfast and slowly but surely dumped the whole thing on the ground. Then as I was cleaning it up he insisted on sitting in one of my piles and "helping me clean it up" really he just spread them back out! It was pretty funny.

Beau LOVES binkis!!!

This is the plant that Matt says attacks him when he goes into the computer room. Beau likes to play in it cuz it hides him when he is being naughty.

We bought some stuff to finally paint our bathroom, and Beau was showing me his skills with them so I would recruit him to help us. I took a ton of before and after pictures of it but of course they were among the ones i deleted. Some of the other ones i can remember were when he was helping us with the garden. He LOVES to be outside like most kids and was having quite the day. He was digging in the dirt and trying to help me carry the bags of compost over. One picture he was standing on them thinking he was king of the mountain. It was a pretty funny day... Hey I just remembered it was my birthday. Which by the way was awesome. My birthday eve we went with some friends to the temple which was wonderful the on my birthday we got the bathroom painted, had some yummy food, got our garden tilled and planted the peas, did a bunch more yard work, had some more yummy food, cleaned our bathroom all up, played with Beau and watched part of a movie that was on tv. It really was an awesome birthday and I quickly wanted to thank all of my amazing family and friends that remembered me and called and wished me Happy Birthday, especially since it was on a Saturday!! THANKS GUYS!!! I absolutely LOVE my birthday and count down the days and it was perfect. Then for my birthday we even got tickets to Boston!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Which is a separate post all together!!!

My Big Helper

So this last week and weekend was one with a few projects. We ended up getting a new bed and when I was moving the boxes into our room and setting it up I had quite the helper. I went to carry them in and Beau immediately started trying to pull it. After a bit he moved to the back and started pushing it. He was grunting and laughing thinking he was the strongest man ever. Needless to say it took me way longer than it would have but it was quite hilarious. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures, but I did get some pictures of our wonderful sleeping arrangements. We sold our bed and frame on Saturday and our bed came on Monday, so we got to sleep on our couch cushions for two nights. We tried our air mattress but the air leaked out in like the first half hour. Saddly I slept just as good on the couch cushions as on our old bed. :) Luckily we love our new bed!!!! Anyways Beau loved playing on the pile we called a bed for two nights, and climbing on the couch to watch tv like a big boy. Just his size. While the bed was out of the way we put some pictures up and Beau, being the vain little boy that he is, would point to his and get a big smile everytime he would go in our room.

Another project was rearranging our front flower bed! I have HATED it since the day we moved in and finally we decided on some way to make it look a little better. And best of all it was completely free!!! I got a lot done while Beau was napping but he "helped" me for a while on Friday and then again on Saturday. It is so funny to watch him... he thinks stuff out then goes to work and acts like he is just the man then he gets all proud of himself.... He really is his dad's clone. ;) Just Kidding!!!!

He thought he needed to sit in the exact spot I was working.

After he decided to pick all the flowers Matt took him inside so he was safe!!! :)

When that was done we went to put some stuff in his room. Here again the "biggest helper" made his move. I am so lucky to have such hard working boys!!!!

After I fed him lunch on Friday I couldn't find him until I went in the front room and saw him just sitting here chillin. By the time I got the camera he was ready to get off.

Now doesn't that look comfy!!

I thought I would finally put a video of this on because it is so funny. For quite awhile Beau has been taking off to the pantry door whenever it is open to grab out his cereal. Before he used to just grab the cereal and say "more" until he got some, but now he just gets it himself. Once Matt put some on the tv stand and ever since whenever Beau gets some out he has to put them on the tv stand too. It cracks me up!! I have to sneak into the pantry if I ever need something. PS don't mind what is on the tv... it's "what not to wear" but it looks like something much worse!! Sorry



These are some of my favorite pictures of Beau when he was a baby. They were on my phone, and I finally was able to get them off.

This is Beau's toy corner. I hate it!! It is out of control and he falls all the time because his toys are everywhere.

I don't have many pictures of me and the munchkin, so I made Matt take one.

Whitney got him this really cute outfit for Christmas; he thinks he is pretty hot stuff in it.

Family Pics

Ok so my sister took these FOREVER ago, and I am finally putting some on. I am just a loser and keep forgetting. Thanks Denise!!!
