First Shave

He's three now. It's time to start shaving those whiskers! Beckett got a (pretend) shaving kit for his birthday, so we tried it out. I took a ridiculous amount of pictures, just because it was so much fun. He absolutely loved it and thought that it was so cool to be able to "shave like Daddy"!

Thomas the Train Party, Part III

Thomas the Train Party, Part II

Aunt Nicky and Uncle Andrew bought Beckett this cool Ziggle

Thomas the Train Party, Part I

Choo choo! Beckett's third birthday party was a Thomas the Train theme. If you know him at all, you know that he is obsessed with Thomas and trains in general. He is still at the age where his friends are the kids of our friends, and many of our close friends have little girls. So this year he was the only boy at the party. (I could only handle one train critique at the party anyways). They all pretended to love trains for the day and we had a blast! Maybe next year we will invite some boys, too. 

                           

Fun with train whistles and Thomas bubbles

Basketball, fun marching games with Uncle Mark, and scrubbing the
chair with bubbles. Who knew that cleaning would be
 one of the favorite activities of the party? 

Painting their initials

Uncle Mark drew chalk outlines around all of the kids

Beautiful self portraits of the kids ;) 

Aunt Nicky helped Beckett trace Mark

SC Surprise

In March, my mom planned a trip for Beckett and me to surprise my Dad for his birthday. Blake was gone during March Madness, so we picked up and headed to South Carolina.

We had a snow storm in Oklahoma the day before we left.
We were ready for some warmer weather!

Birthday cupcakes for Grandaddy's birthday.

Grandaddy and Beckett had so much fun together.

Uncle Stephen raced Beckett on his motorcycle...with his car.
Redneck accident waiting to happen.

Beckett tried boiled peanuts for the first time and actually liked them
(proud Momma here) and slept in a big boy bed for the first time.

We visited the zoo with Aunt Serah and Kaki.

Then, our friend Sarah visited and we went to the zoo again. 

Aunt Serah and Uncle Chad got a new black lab. She is so fun much fun.
They also started breeding Golden Retrievers. So cute! 

Aunt Serah and Uncle Chad also have a pretty big fish pond. They let you
 and Grandaddy feed the fish and use the net to clean it out.
You thought you were pretty special.

It was so much fun having the whole family together. 

Easter 2014

We had a busy Easter. We attended church in the morning and Blake and I helped with the kids. I snapped a few quick pictures of these cuties in their Easter attire. After church, we went over to Blake's Aunt's house and spent time with some family members that we don't get to see very often. We had a great time and enjoyed a fun Easter egg hunt. Beckett has some really great older cousins who are so sweet to him.
