just nothingness

i like to stay up today on the goings on around these parts, but this post really doesn't have a theme or any rhyme or reason, so just enjoy the pics and stories i guess :) here's a little family hide n seek time, and lace walked in on us so we got a picture!

 

 

i'm so proud of my running husband these days! he's signed up for a 1/2 marathon in october and is busy training away. he runs rain or shine (mostly rain around here lately), and he's just doing so good at staying motivated and consistent despite lots of other things to do. good work friend :) love you!

 

here's our little nursery boy with his 1st church picture! i know it's not the greatest picture, but he looked so handsome and was so proud of his picture :) he's not really into the whole me leaving thing yet, but we're working on it!

 

this was a little treat that we found in our bbq the other day. always fun to find that your home is the home of so many other critters too!

 

i think beck's has a little ocd going on. he loves lining things up and putting them away just so, and even though i'm not sure what it will hold for his future, it's pretty cute for now!

 

 

 

too bad he doesn't line up these magnets on the fridge where they're supposed to go, but i was in the bathroom so he was too! love my little ocd man :)

yay for mail!

beckam got a package from grandpa zoe and grandma moj the other day, and he loved the whole getting mail experience :) there is just something about getting mail from home when you live far away!

 

 

cars and candy......woohoo!!!

 

 

he got some pop rocks gum too, and it was so funny to watch his reaction when i put some in his mouth - gotta love pop rocks!

 

he also got a sucker, and there are few things that win over our becks like a sucker! he was loving life and fully enjoyed every last bit of that thing :)

 

 

 

 

thanks grandma moj and grandpa zoe! we love mail and you made beck's day :)

goldilocks to stud muffin!

as you can see, it was clearly time for a hair cut around here today for one near mullet man!

 

we love our little goldilocks boy, but the curls were getting a little out of hand and needed a trim before becks was sporting an official mullet!

 

here are some during shots of the dreaded hair cut. thankfully, we have an awesome friend who becks loves and who has a great hair talent, so she suited herself up and got him a little cape too :) my job was to provide the sucker and to keep the tears and wriggling to a minimum....

 

this was truly one of only a few times becks got sad about losing his curls, and he did great at sitting still and working on his sucker.

 

 

 

 

new favorite picture! sooo cute :)

 

the hair got a little out of control and ended up on the sucker and on his fingers and in his mouth and everywhere else too! yay for brooms, wipes, and more suckers!

 

 

here are some of the after shots. goldilocks to little stud muffin right?!?! oh and p.s. he was only crying here cuz i took his hair covered sucker away!

 

 

 

thankfully, the curls aren't gone - just tamed for now, and he's been showing off his handsome new hair cut to everyone all day long! love it :) thanks brand! you're the best!

quack quack

i don't know what it is, but i love ducks! they are one of my favorite animals, and i especially love little ducklings and watching them swim around and bob for food. this along with beck's love for birds and animals made it easy for us to say yes to a fun mom n me activity at a park full of ducks last week :)

 

don't worry, my little curly mullet man will be getting a trim soon!

 

he loved looking at the ducks from afar, but this flight right by our feet was a little nerve racking for him!

 

 

the geese weren't quite as calm and nice as the ducks. they were hissing at us and really quite mad that we forgot some bread to feed them! lace stood in the bushes with aj taking pictures as me, becks, and miles tried to clear the path by kicking at these crazy things along the way! haha

 

 

and what the crap is this thing? not sure but it wasn't friendly either! we hurried past the crazies and on to the ducks as quick as possible!

 

 

becks loves quacking like a duck, so i joined in the fun :) love my duck loving boy!

 

here's some of the crew checking out the little ducklings we found....

 

sooooo cute!

 

it started raining on us of course, so we made a little time for playing in the puddles and mud - fun fun! it was a fun little adventure and one we'll do again soon i'm sure - with food to feed the crazy geese this time of course!
