Summer Recap

Summer flew by this year!  A lot has happened to our family this summer so here is a little recap.

We moved.....and are still trying to get our house together.  One day.  One day.
Beckham got a big boy bed.
We enjoyed playing outside in our yard.  Beckham particularly loved playing with the hose and getting wet.  We have made some good memories in the back yard.

And most of those memories in the back yard include Beckham shirtless.  Boys will be boys. 
Our family made a few spontaneous trips to see family in Utah
and we had some come to visit us!  We still talk about seeing everyone.

Beckham got his first pet.  It was two fish.  Sparkle and Snowflake.  They didn't last long.
Beckham and I visited Sun Valley (which is worth noting since it is one of my absolute favorite places to be).  We visited Grandpa, who was attending the Bankers Convention - he was the Chairman this year.  Fancy.  We explored the pretty area and I found that Beckham loved the river.  He tossed rocks in it for a long time.


Although I don't have pictures to prove it, we have gone swimming, but only a handful of times.  Beckham is a little fish and loves to be in the water - especially with Daddy.  They put their faces in the water and blow bubbles.  We hope to make it to the pool again before it closes for the winter.

Also, Beckham had the opportunity to ride his first train.  Well.  To be fair, it was just a lawn mower pulling carts.  It was dressed up like a train - conductor and all.  It was fun nonetheless and Beckham took his role very seriously as a passenger.

We attended a few county fairs.  It is a big deal around these parts.  Everyone looks forward to and attends the fair and rodeo.  Beckham found his happiest place on Earth by the animal pens.  He made sure to wave and say hello to every animal.  It was, "Hi, horse.  HI, HORSE!" over and over again.  It think he was trying to get some type of response from the animals.  He l.o.v.e.d. it and wanted to stay there for hours.  I kind of think we have a little 4-H boy in the making.

Summer, we loved having you here and are already looking forward to you coming back!

What a fun summer! And a backyard!! I can't wait to have a backyard! I can't believe how big Beckham is. The picture of him sitting in a front facing seat caught me off guard. I still picture him as a baby! He is one handsome kid!
