Preparing for Beckem's 1st birthday!!

Ok so we were getting ready for Beckem's birthday party when Nick was vacuuming and Beckem was chasing the vacuum so I put Beckem on it and he rode the vacuum the entire time Nick vacuumed the house! LOL what a silly boy!!!

Ash, the kids and my Mom come to visit!

Happy Birthday to you...

Make a wish...

Eat some cake.... Yummy

Get it all over the place! 

No pics please... LOL... I'm guilty the one with the Blue hands!

My pretty Mom!

I don't know how Aunty can make him go to sleep!

The kids!

We got Beckem and Corben characters drawn!!(I'll take a pic of it soon!)

Stupid girl at Walmart! Ash told her to put "Happy B-day Nick and Beckem" Lol!

Ashlie, Trey, Skylie and my Mom came to visit last weekend! I love when they come to hang out for a weekend! We did Beckem and Nick's birthdays and we went shopping and while at the mall a man does character drawings so we got Trey and Skylie and Beckem and Corben done! So fun!!!

Nick is getting old! LOL

So August 13th was Nick's birthday! I make fun of him because he is older than me so I have to remind him that he is OLD! LOL... not really though 29 is not old! haha... So for his birthday I bought him a digital picture frame for his desk at work! It is way nice and I put like 55 pics on it for him! He loved it! :0) and then I bought him balloons and he was a little embarrassed by them LOL... Happy Birthday Princess!!! ;0) 

Silly Boys!

Grandpa Willis

So, I have a few posts I need to make, but haven't had time so I will tonight! :0) But this one I have to do now! Yesterday marks the 7th year since my Grandpa Willis passed away of cancer. I always think about him and miss him a lot! I am sad that my kids never got to meet him, he was an awesome grandpa! Growing up in SLC we lived just down the street from Grandpas house and went there for all occasions! My favorite ones were Christmas and Halloween! I loved to go there and play in Grandpas back yard! He was the sweetest, kindest Grandpa! I MISS him soooo much!! I named my second son, Beckem Duane after him! I was due Sept. 7th I believe with Beckem and went into labor early. I didn't have him on the date that Grandpa passed away, but I believe I had him the day we buried him. How ironic is that? What an honor for us and Beckem to be named after a GREAT man! I miss you and love you soooooo much Grandpa! "When I get where I'm going I'm going to walk with my Granddaddy, and he'll match me step for step, I'll tell him how I've missed him every minute since he left, and then I'll hug his neck!" I LOVE YOU GRANDPA!

SeVeN pEAks!!

Nick's parents took us all to Seven Peaks August 2nd! We had fun!! Beckem had fun in the wave pool with me, Corben loved all the slides! Nick had fun going on all the slides! I tried out a couple! It was nice to go somewhere fun and enjoy family time! I have not been to a water park in years!! I really enjoyed this one! We will be going back next year!! :0) 

Update

So this Friday is my last day at work!!! I put my 2 weeks notice in June 11th!! What a two weeks! LOL my boss kept asking me to stay a little bit longer, but now for sure this Friday is my last day!! YAY!! 

So I decided I am going to babysit from home and go to school! So I have 4 potential kids that I might be able to watch! I put an ad on KSL and have got a few emails and phone calls! I met one of the kids on Sunday and I meet the other three this Sunday! So hopefully it all works out!! I then want to go to school! If you don't know already, I want to be a Dental Hygienist and also I want to do nails! hehe so when I am done you can come to me to get your teeth cleaned and your nails done LOL... I am hoping to start nails next month! The schooling lasts 15 weeks to be able to be a licensed nail technician. I am excited because I love nails!! and then my schooling for Dental is about 3 1/2 years! So I need to get on it!

Nick's Bronco is getting done and then we are getting rid of his Titan :0( SAD! I really LOVE the Titan, but the gas mileage is way bad! Nick's dad wants the Titan so as soon as the Bronco is done then his dad is going to take the Titan! Nick's birthday is the 13th of August and I always tease him that he is getting old! LOL! He is not old I just like to give him a hard time because he is older than me! LOL!

Corben starts school August 18th! He will be in preschool! Crazy! I am going to be sad! He is way excited though! I am going to take him school shopping next weekend! How exciting!! He goes M-W-F. I am so excited and sad all at the same time!! 

Beckem turns ONE on August 23rd!!! Wow this year has flown by! My other little man is going to be one!! He is soo funny! Him and Corben get along great so far and LOVE each other soo much! I'll be posting pictures of his first birthday!
