Beckam's Blessing Day

My mom and sisters: Yvette, Veronica, me, and Treva

and my neice, Aliah, down below

Jason and his long lost cousin, Ben. It's sadly true, but an amazing and beautiful story. It already seems like we've always known him!

Nicholas and Brooklyn

Nick is a second cousin to Brooklyn but look like they could pass for brother and sister

This was Brooklyn all day at the brunch- glued to the soccer ball.

This was how it looked behind.

Aunt Rev and B-Kate

Beckam was blessed in the same outfit his daddy was blessed in 28 years ago!

Park City

This is Brooklyn and Monga on the carousel.

I spaced it and didn't take pictures of us going down the Alpine Slide, but my sled was really slow anyway. I had it pressed down full throttle to go as fast as I could and I was just putting down the slope. Jason was racing me on the next slide over just speeding down the hill. He had to stop three times to make sure I was okay and still moving. I really wanted to beat him down the hill- maybe I'll bring my WD-40 next time :)

Beckam was being so good. He was smiling at everyone and tried so hard to talk as he twisted his mouth into all sorts of odd shapes just to get the sounds to come out.

Brooklyn kept making Papa and Monga come sit by her. She would point to one side and say "sit Papa", then point to other side and say "sit Monga". She would pat the little seat next to her until they came to sit down. She also does that to me when she wants me to sit and watch Baby Einstein with her. She was obviously starting to ware Papa out.

Doesn't this picture just bring a smile to your face!

Brooklyn was occupied by a little dog that was standing just outside this picture.

Brooklyn turns 2

The day went well and was a lot of fun. We found Brooklyn a few times over at the next pavillion running up and down along all the tables then swinging at the end of them with her little legs all curled up. She's such a monkey.

The process of making Brooklyn's birthday cake.

She loved to help almost as much as she loved poking her fingers right in the middle of it!

The finished product. Ta-da!
Brooklyn is in love with Baby Einstein and especially the caterpillar that comes out and blinks his eyes before each show starts. She calls the series Caterpillar Einstein instead of Baby Einstein- hence why I decided to make the caterpillar. She loved it.

Thanks to my mother in law for sharing her delicious homemade frosting recipe with me and helping out with everything!

Uncle Tyler, Brooklyn, and Uncle Steele partying

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROOKLYN!!

You are such a precious angel to us. You have completely stolen our hearts, we love you so much! How grateful and immensely happy we are to be your parents. XOXO

Beckam performed a table dance for us.

Brooklyn was shoveling cake and ice cream into her mouth- I guess that was a good sign that she liked it.

She got Angelina Ballerina stuff from Aunt Sue and dressed up in the bracelets and tiara right away.

Hiking

Grandma and Papa came out from California to visit for Brooklyn's birthday party and Beckam's blessing.

They also brought with them the best news of the century- Julie's in remission!!!!!!!!!!

We definitely partied lots over the weekend.

Papa and daddy took Brooklyn hiking. They saw a cougar and some deer...or as Brooklyn would say a "dee-a"

Beckam

BECKAM at 10 weeks old

I couldn't help it but to turn the morning into a photo shoot, he looked so cute!

He is such a happy baby!

He just got his 2 month shots a few days ago and was smiling and giggling at the nurse giving them to him. The nurse was laughing too, but luckily she calmed down BEFORE giving him the shots. Once he realized his pain, he had the saddest little cry- we had lots of snuggles that day!

My Boy

Me and my snuggly-bug.

I probably kiss him over a thousand times a day.

Face of an angel.

Ya gotta love those times when they put themselves to sleep wherever they happen to be laying.

Play Time

Beckam had something to say and is trying to get his point across.

This is the look Brooklyn gives right before she wants to do something mischievous.

And this is usually the look she gives right after she's done it!

Beckam smiles at her a lot when she comes to play with him. She acts like his mommy. When he cries, she walks up to him and in a high-pitched baby voice says, "What's the matter baby boy?"..."I'm coming baby"...or "It's okay, Honey".

She also sings him a lot of songs. She will get right in his face and hum her favorite tune of the day or just flat out sing him a melody. Her favorites are: I am a Child of God, Twinkle Twinkle, Pearly Shells, or the Alphabet. I'm sure he'll be singing his ABC's in no time thanks to her.
