First Football Game, Part I

Beckett attended his first football game on Labor Day weekend as the Oklahoma State Cowboys took on the Savannah State Tigers to open the season. The Cowboys crushed the Tigers with a final score of 84-0. The beginning of the game was extremely hot and miserable, but things cooled off after the sun went down. Given the score of the game and the heat, the game felt like an eternity, but Beckett was a champ. He enjoyed the loud noises, the action, and his favorite, the mascots! One of the fans behind us even commented to his buddy "I would leave now, but I'm waiting to see if the little guy crashes or stays awake for the entire game." Beckett showed them and powered through to the end, lasting longer than 90% of the rest of the fans :)

Go Pokes! Not a great photo, but the best we could do facing the sun.

Doggie Door

Well, Beckett has officially learned to use the doggie door. In fact, he likes it better than Karsten does. After just a few times of observing the dog use it, he caught on and decided to try it himself. Now he's a pro. Sometimes, I'll be talking to him in the kitchen and turn around and he's outside looking at me through the door. Thankfully, we have more of a courtyard than an open backyard, so I don't have to worry about him escaping from the yard. He also loves throwing his toys outside, so when Blake comes home from work, half of the items in our house have been thrown through the doggie door. Blake took a funny video that I'll try to post at some point. 

"Come on in, Karsten"

"Hmm...how'd she do that?"

Busted!

He's also learned that he can use the door frame (from the window
or doggie door) to stand on to reach the door knob. Little stinker!

"Cheeeeese"

Grandaddy's In Charge

When Grandaddy and Kaki visited in early September, Grandaddy babysat Beckett for a few hours while Mom and I ran errands for Serah's wedding. Here's what we came home to...no questions asked. 

Mud, mud, and more mud. Looks like a good time was had by all. 

Grandaddy drew Beckett a soccer goal on the wall.
