Blast from the Past...Beckett has 2 Teeth!

Beckett got his first 2 teeth when he was 4 months old.  His second two came in at 5 months.  He is now 11 months old and has 10 teeth, and is working on 2 more!  He was our "super teether!"

Random Cute Kid Pictures

Looking through my old pictures, I can't remember the stories that went along with these photos...except that my kids are just so darn cute!

I wish I knew the story to this one...This girl hasn't worn diapers since she was 18 months old!

Blast from the Past...Beckett's Funny Face

I love this picture.  I love this face.  When she was home last spring, Amanda babysat Beckett for me a couple of times while I worked.  She sent this to me while I was working, and it lit up my day. 

Blast from the Past...Brody Plays Soccer

This past Spring, Brody played soccer for the NWA Lightening League.  His team's name was The Gators.  He played with his buddy, Chance, and Nick and John were the coaches.  We had a lot of fun watching the Gator's play! 

I found that I enjoyed him being in Spring Soccer much more than I did Fall Soccer.  The air was not as cool, and we were settled into a better routine with school/work/life.  We are looking forward to soccer again this Spring.

Blast from the Past...Beckett's First Cereal

Beckett ate his first rice cereal at 4 1/2 months old. He was able to figure the "open-mouth-insert-food-then-swallow" process quite quickly. He has been a great eater since birth.

Sickie Sicks

Today, Beckett and I are staying home from church.  He has had a stomach bug for the past couple of days, and whether it is from exhaustion, or the same bug, I am just not feeling that great myself.  He is napping right now, and after a few posts I am going to try to do the same.  Friday night he threw up about 15 times.  His little body is just drained.  He has been running a fever and having a runny nose on top of things.  He doesn't want food, or milk...just juice and pedialite.  Thankfully, he is keeping those things down.

Look at this cute little sickie sick

 

I am sad to miss church today.  Aside from not having the spiritual pick me up I crave each week, I am also going to be missing my big kid's primary program.  I have sent them with special instructions to do their best, and return and report, and sing me some songs.

R.I.P. Lance

On December 16, 2011, with Beckett in tow, I was rear ended in Fayetteville.  Luckily, nobody was hurt.  It was a 4 car pile up, and I suffered whip lash and some scratches to our bumper, but nothing more serious.

Three weeks later, on February 3, 2012, I was rear ended again, and sandwhiched between the car that hit me, and the car in front of me. My whip lash was intensified, and this time my car was totaled. 

Because the car accidents happened so close together, I have had to hire a lawyer to work out the details of the settlement with the insurance companies.  We have bought a new (old) car.  It is a 1999 Acural RL, and other than some power steering issues (which have been resolved), the Acura has been a GREAT car. 

Lance, the Lancer, will be forever missed.
