Gymnastics

Tuesday was Reese's last day of her gymnastics class! It was a first for her, and she loved it. They worked on forward and backwar rolls, the balance beam, that bar thingy, and lots of other stuff. It was a lot of playing since, afterall, she is only 2. It was mostly something to get us out and about. We both seem to get on each other's nerves when it's just us two ALL DAY LONG. (Plus, it's way cheap since I work there.) In a week or two, we move on to Mommy and Me Yoga!

Here she is being cute:

Song: Blessed be Your Name
We sang it last Sunday at church and it's been in my head all week :)

Beckett's Baptism

Beckett was baptised today!



It's a gorgeous Fall day, my husband is in the living room watching football, both my babies are asleep, I have nothing important to do, and I feel extremely blessed right now! *close my eyes, sigh and smile*

Smiles :)

Last weekend, since my brother Gregory wasn't able to go, I got the chance to go with Allison and Mitchell to go see the comedian Jim Gaffigan in Omaha. It was REALLY funny, as we knew it would be. After the first 5 minutes my eyes were tearing up, and after about 15 minutes my face hurt from laughing so much. Afterwards, we stayed to meet him and get our picture taken w/ him. Fun! If you haven't seen or heard of him, I'd highly reccommend that you check him out! :)





And speaking of smiles, Mr. Beckett started smiling this week. He's right on track, since he's 6 weeks old today! Here are a couple of his first smiles that I tried to capture on camera. The first one doesn't really look like he's smiling, but I promise he is. And the second, yeah, I know he looks a little funny...





And while I was on ChaCha this week, someone asked me this question: Rae has $5.70 in quarters and dimes. She has 6 more quarters than dimes. How many of each coin does she have?
I am TERRIBLE at math! It took me over 5 minutes and lots of scribbling to figure it out, and in his head, it took Wade less than 30 seconds. How long did it take you???

Beckett- 1 month old

With Reese being gone for a few days, Rachel reminded me that I have no excuse to not put up some new pictures of Beckett (also known as "Little Becky" to his mama). I'm still working on a slideshow of pics from his birth, so hopefully that will be up soon, too!

Song: I'm Yours by Jason Mraz

Just another day...

I'm still getting used to being a mom of two, and so far its been interesting/fun. Yesterday, I was called in for jury duty, so I reported to the court house at 8:30. My wonderful husband stayed home with the kids so that I could experience what it was like. I wasn't chosen, but it was definitely an interesting process and I'm glad I got to go! I was home by 12:30.

Wade had to take Reese to her gymnastics class and got to experience a morning in the "life of Liz". :) Allison, be glad that you didn't end up watching them yesterday, b/c it was crazy! Long story short, there were lots of poopy diapers, several poopy pants (Reese must have eaten something that did not allow her to "control her bowel movements"- one even required an immediate bath), and one projectile spit-up that required an outfit change. It was one thing after another!

I seriously love being a mom, but geesh! And can you believe Beckett will be 4 weeks old on Friday!?!?

Oh, and I love this song. I thought it would be appropriate for this post :)
(It seems like my "frustrated" posts always involve poop in some way!)
