good bye holidays!

we are officially back in portland, and we are excited to be back to our normal little portland life but at the same time miss our holidays and our families! here are a few pics of the last few days with continuous entertainment for becks :)

cooler fun! i swear only grandmas and cool fun moms (obviously not me) think of using common household things like coolers to entertain the wee ones, and the cooler did not disappoint :)

 

becks laughs at most loud noises, but i wasn't sure how he would feel about riding on a loud noise machine. turns out he is a lawn mowing fool and loved driving around with grandma!

 

here is the one picture i got of becks with his grandma peterson, and sadly grandpa peterson was at work :( he's always got big smiles for his G & G peterson though, and we miss you guys and can't wait to put our camera to better use next time we're in town!

good bye to the animals that provided endless entertainment for little becks around the hill house too. beckam loved the dogs and the cat, and they were great distractions for him when he was tired or fussy or whatever. thankfully, they're pretty gentle animals too and let becks explore their faces and ears and whatever he could reach with his hands! haha he loved them.

my dad is often found reading the newspaper and catching up on current events and the latest obituaries at our house, and becks got in on a little newspaper action with grandpa before we left. of course, he was more into eating the current events but whatcha gonna do!

 

beckam loved hanging out with his grandparents and auntie kait over the holidays, and i did too! miss you guys :)

Cute pics as usual! I can't believe Becks likes loud noises. Cohen always used to cry at them when he was that age, and still wouldn't ride the riding lawnmower with my dad this summer!

Hey this is Janae'. Thank you for the comment. I looked at your blog and it was nice to see who all your family is since we have heard so much about you all. He is such a great Elder.. Has really helped my 2 teenage boys have more interest in the gospel and he actually got our family to start scripture reading again after a long time! We just love him so much!

My kids would never be on a tractor at that age. It would have freaked them right out. Way too loud. Looks like you have an adventurous boy!

Hey, I comment every now and then! :)

In these pics, it looks like Becks' hair is getting more red. True, or a trick of lighting?
