Summer Time Activities (2013)

I just found this post that I forgot to post two summers ago. 

It's fun to look back at this blonde haired baby. 

 

Warning: this post is probably TMI, but I'd like to record it just so that I can remember it in the future. Today (June 29) is the first day that Beckett has used his potty for its actual purpose. It has been used for many things (step-stool, basketball goal, etc). Tonight he actually used the bathroom in it for the first time. We aren't really trying to potty train at the moment, but he became interested in the potty about a month ago, so we decided to give it a try and at least start introducing him to it.

This is disgusting, but the last time he was sick, we used the bowl as a puke bucket (since it had never been used for anything else). After he vomited in it, he excitedly announced "I pee-peed in the potty!" He was so proud and so sick that we hated to tell him vomit didn't count.

Easter Pictures

Our church has done Easter pictures for the past few years. This year, Beckett and his best friend, Stella, kept sneaking off to take what they called "family pictures." I didn't realize how many times they had posed until the pictures were posted the next day. (In our defense, both her parents and his parents are over the children's ministry, so we were all busy trying to get everyone else's kids where they were supposed to be. Ha!!) Thank you, Jess, for being so patient with these silly kids.

Our bff, Kate, joined in on the fun. These three..

Beckett insisted on taking a family picture.
Blake and I were working with the kids,
 so these were our work clothes. And it was
 cold. And rainy. And I'm hugely pregnant. :)
But, by golly, we look like a big happy family, kind of.
