Beck is 2!

We started Wednesday with a birthday breakfast so we could include Grandma and Great Grandpa Jim in the festivities. Bacon and eggs and Cinnamon roll cake. (whoa...so good)

Then there was the day spent with sister (who was home w/ a bad case of poison ivy on her eye!) who wrapped up a book we already had as a present.  Also there was some swinging.

Mom Mom and Pop Pop came for an easy dinner of pizza and salad (we had care group at 7!) and there might have been a grumpy birthday boy at dinner. Then we broke out the Chocolate Chip cupcakes. He gently blew out his candles and got a little bummed out when his cupcake flipped and got frosting all over his arm. But as you can see above and below...he got over it.


1. Bubbles? 2. More bubbles! No I don't want your money, open my bubbles! 3.  I said open my bub...wait...is that a singing card? A singing dog card? YES!  4.  This Elmo guitar is top notch.  5. Tuning  6.  I play however I want, don't tell me to turn it around.  7. I'm giving guitar lessons now since I'm a natural.

February

When you have limited internet, and you choose to download free music, your blog suffers.  Here's what's been happening with us....
somebody has a personality that has been

exploding.   And he definitely  should not

be left unattended. my bad.

This guys wants to go to school with his big bro and sis sooooo bad.

can't pass up a good sunset

"Stand there while mommy plays and fails w/ her new camera"

We like shoes.

We also like things on our head, preferably hats, but bunny ears work.

We're serious about the shoe thing.

my girl.

threw a surprise 40th for my fabulous sis  in law.

We also signed the papers and our construction loan has FINALLY gone through. WOOT. This has been a 1 month process turned into 5months. I thought I'd cry. I didn't. Maybe that will come later, too much yet to do still! House pics next post, check back in a couple days!

Back it up...

to the beginning of May,
Where we said goobye again to Mindy. It was a quick trip, but every moment we had was treasured! Love you Min!
And now we are fully in spring. Complete with showers and flowers.
Dennis pick away at the lot when he has time while V picks at...other things.
This spring we've been able to see all sorts of babies.

Last week we were blessed with a visit from both of my parents.
They were able to join us for J's last cello concert,


view E's displayed art at school,
help us cheer on J at a very cold baseball game,

and celebrate B's first birthday.
He was a very polite host and showed interest in all of his presents.
He enjoyed his first taste of sugar.
He also played pin the tail on the donkey. (J decided to make a political statement w/ the hat on the donkey)
A good day!

Spoiled

Not this guy. Me. I am spoiled. I do not have perfect, all the time easy kids. But most of my day is spent with this guy and I would say that 85-90% of the time he is a piece of cake. So much so that I have to make sure I'm proactive in spending purposeful time with him. He plays so well by himself and is very content "snoggling" on the couch. I can piddle around the house and he'll play with his trucks. This was yesterday morning after the older two had caught the bus. Love my mornings with this little man. (right now he's on the floor talking to and then smashing ants. i don't know why they are in my bedroom!) B loves catching a little quality time with his pal gal Sydney.

I Make Messes


And I 'm proud of it.

Getting warmer...


Fizzy Foamy Science. The kids always ask to do this and I almost always put it off for rainy days. This time they asked Dennis. It is pretty fun!



Play dough bed for Luke Skywalker. Everyone in the rebel alliance is going to want one of these.




Saturday we went to the farm and Den and the kids spent the afternoon finding and marking the iron pins that designate the lot's boundaries. I even got to use a borrowed metal detector. I want one.


Pounding in the steak. J was in charge of spray painting them. Until he lost that privilege after repeated random sprays. Life lessons are tough.




Somebody learned something at church last week.





And sweet neighbor Martha gave the older two pony rides on Diamond.




My daffodils are about to burst because it is getting warmer!!
And I bust out my high fashion footwear for such occasions. If you'd like to create this look w/o the high price just ask and I'll fill you in on my fashion secrets.

He spent the morning outside and loved it. He's old enough that he can play in the back by himself and I can watch him through the windows.
We don't have as many cats around so picnics can be fun without having to shoo the little beggars away!
