"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.

Ewey and Gooey!

Tonight I took Marcus and Tyson to the Como pumpkin carving activity and they had a whole lot of fun. I told them as we were walking over that they were going to get all messy, they were pretty excited about that. Marcus kept naming everything that he had on saying that it was going to get all "ewey and gooey." I am very glad however that he is a pretty neat and tidy kid - he really didn't get "ewey and gooey" at all, but even on our way home he had the biggest smile on his face and kept saying "we got all ewey and gooey!"
Marcus told me exactly what he wanted and was so proud of our pumpkin...I am sure glad that I didn't let him look at everyone elses or he might have been crying, I am not too good at carving pumpkins.


Here they are all "ewey and gooey."

Shots...No Fun!

Well we went to the Doctor this morning and Carter is doing GREAT!! He now weights 13lbs and is 223/4 inches long. He also got his shots and has been sad ever since. Marcus and Tyson did so well with their shots that I didn't think it would bother Carter but his poor little legs have really been hurting him. Hopefully he will do better tomorrow.

"Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'"

Carter is now 2 months old. He is going to have his 2 month check up on Wednesday but today we caught him doing this! Marcus was so proud of him as was his Dad. He is actually in pretty big trouble with his Mom though, she doesn't think that he should be growing up this fast. He rolled over 3 times in a row...slow down Carter!!

Rocks!

Here are my sweet Sunday boys. This is the first time I have got Carter in a Sunday tie. Boys really are so much fun and sure look handsome all dressed up. I sure thought with good looking boys like these it was going to be a great day.

Well after church I got Tyson and Carter taking naps and put Marcus in his room for quiet time. I was making Sunday dinner when I heard Marcus hollering for me. I ran upstairs and Marcus told me he had rocks in his ears and not just in one ear but both! I don't even know how these small little rocks got into his bedroom but he found them and I guess he was a little bored and wanted to add a little adventure to the day. I didn't know what to do. Brian was still at his church meetings and I was debating whether I should attemp to get these rocks out of his ears myself or to leave it to the professionals . I decided to wait for Brian to get home so that I wouldn't be hauling all of my children to the clinic. We ate dinner and I was still debating on whether I should try to get them out myself. Marcus told me he wanted me to take them out and after a few prayers and singing we were able to get the rocks out with out any tears! I am sure glad that Heavenly Father helped me.
