Utah!

Here are some pictures of our wonderful time in Utah! Thanks so much everyone! We really had a great time and miss you already!

Christmas Fun!

We love Christmas! The Christmas spirit, the music, Christmas Trees, lights, decorations...everything! It has been so much fun with our boys. This past week we have been making some fun little Christmas decorations as well as decorating. Como had a fun little project for the kids to do and Marcus, Tyson, Carter and I made this fun little Christmas tree. (not really Carter, but he slept so I could help them...that counts right?) He is just beaming! Tyson was good to hold it all the way home for us. He told me he would, "hold tight"! I think that this is my favorite thing that he says. It just means that he doesn't want you to take it way.Marcus' snowflake. (Thanks Kara, he loves it!)Here is our Christmas tree and please call it that. If you just call it a tree then Marcus will quickly let you know that it is a "CHRISTMAS TREE!" The boys today. Yep, Carter is a chunk...I love it!

Kisses for Carter!

Were Movin' To....

BOISE, IDAHO!! That's right, the Gem State, home to beautiful Mountain Bluebirds, Western White Pines, Rocky Mountains, Sun Valley, famous Idaho potatoes, and as of June 2009 - Us.

Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center will be Brian's new employer and they have Marcus to thank. The final decision between Boise and Santa Cruz was left to Marcus who said he wanted to ski instead of surf, so Idaho here we come.

It also turns out that there are a few folks in Northern Utah who think this is a pretty decent decision as well.

Fun with Jill and Cruz!

A couple of weeks ago my twin sister Jill flew out with her little 2 month old boy Cruz. She was such a sweetheart and came to save me. Brian was out of town doing interviews for a fellowship for a whole week and I sure got spoiled with her. It also the first time I got to see her sweet little boy Cruz. He is so fun and Jill really is such a fun mom! We had a blast and my kids LOVE her. It still seems crazy that we are all grown up and have kids...where does time go?!? Thanks so much for coming Jill and "Cruz Man". I don't know what we would have done without you guys!

"Gobble, Gobble!"

Thursdays are always so great. We have such a wonderful ward that does playgroup every Thursday. I think it is even better during the cold winter months when you would really like to leave your home but can't go to a playground. Today we went to Jenny's home and made these fun little paper turkeys. I had told the boys about it while they were getting out of the bath and they both were so excited and would shout out "Gobble, Gobble" each time I asked them what a turkey says. They both really liked making them and are so excited to show their Daddy when he gets home from Oregon. He is gone for his first interview for a fellowship. Good luck DAD!! We Love you!

Family Pictures

Our good friend Chalece has a really nice camera so I asked her if she would take our family pictures. She was so good! If anyone is looking for a great photographer, she is it! She really did such a wonderful job. Here's our family!

Happy Beckham Halloween!

Considering the fact that Halloween is about my least favorite holiday, you should all be impressed by what follows. If participation in all the Halloween festivities wasn't enough, I also accepted an assignment to narrate this post.

A class Halloween party forced me into costume and with my mad soccer skills and a wife as hot as mine, it was pretty obvious that we had to be the Beckhams. In fact, the number of compliments I recieved for my fohawk and tattoo made me think hard about adopting this new look full-time.

Keeping with the originality of the Beckhams, Marcus decided he would be a green-haired Soccer Monster and, as the evening wore on, a Rockstar as well.Not to be outdone, the lady-killer Texas Tyson came with his full bag of tricks. However, the real show stopper was Cool Carter appearing in person as himself after making it very clear that he would not tolerate a hot bear costume.
