Phases of life

A few weeks ago I was drooping my big kids off with my sister in law and seeing how quite and empty her house was got me thinking.  My sister in law recently became an empty nester.  I was thinking about life and how we all go through different phases.  Seeing my sister and niece starting off in there pregnancies and then my sister Courtney at the end of hers.  We all have so many chapters to our lives.  I fell like my life is just beginning.  I feel so complete with Beckett, its like I finally decided that this is my life and its time to live it!! Some thing happened to me when Beckett was born, it was like I had been waiting on him to come.  Its so hard to explain but I was living from one event to the next waiting on something.  I can honestly say I am the happiest I have ever been and I know just the direction my life is heading in.  I am a busy mom of three, who during the week rarely has time for a shower! But I wouldn't change a thing about my life, okay maybe I would like a chance to jump in the shower every once in a while!  There is a country song by Trace Adkins Your gonna miss this, its such an true example about living in the moment.   That is exactly what I am doing, cherishing everything.  Soaking in every moment while my kiddos are little.  Little quiet moments rocking my baby Beckett: looking at him, caressng his little head, and giving him soft kisses.  Because soon he will be big like his sister and brother and I will be in a knew phase of my life again.

Birthday!!

Sunday was my Brother in laws birthday!  My daughter has such a close relationship with her Uncle Manuel!  Allison had been planning gifts for him all week.  She literally made him 4 individual gifts.  I feel so blessed that Allison has so many special people in her life.

Reunion

Saturday was my high school reunion!!  We started the weekend off at a mixer at my friends Heather and Kit's.  Which, I probably enjoyed more than the reunion!  Saturday night we meet at the La Mission patio for the reunion.  It was so great catching up with friends I hadn't seen in years, literally some I hadn't seen since graduation!  So glad we were able to go.  Next is Richards reunion in October!

2 Months

Thursday September 6th Beckett turned two months old!  We headed into Midland for his appointment.  The little guy only weighs 10 pounds 9 ounces which put him in the 17% in weight, boo.  Beckett might not weigh much but he sure is tall 25 3/4 inches long which put him in the 90% percent in height!  His doctor up his reflux medicine and is still concerned about his weight.  Also the hernia in his belly button is worse, which has the Doctor concerned. 

Beckett is smiling now, usually only for his daddy!  He talks constantly, even the doctor was surprised how much he was talking during his appointment.  Also Beckett has been trying so hard to roll over.  He has only done it a handful of times, but I am sure he is on the way to get that down!  He actually rolled over at the doctor's office, boy was he surprised.  Beckett is waking up twice a night still, which is okay because we have to give him meds at 3am anyway.  I am so thankful he is a much better sleeper than his big brother.  He still loves to be swaddled and hates to be cold!  Our new favorite thing is his rock and play, which is in the above pictures.  The coolest baby invention ever!!!!  It totally helps with his reflux and allows him more time to sit up and digest!  That thing goes every where with me.  We are so in love with this little guy, I cant imagine my life with out him in it.  He brings me so much joy, I haven't been this happy in a long time.

I LOVE PINTEREST, its amazing!  I was not really into pinterest when I was pregnant with Beckett.  I actually didn't have a single desire to craft or cook!  But since having my lil guy, my creative juice' have come back in full force!  I have been baking recipe's from pinterest non stop and I have not made one recipe that we didn't love!  I have so many crafts in the works for baby B!  I also found a bunch of preschool activities for Mr Cooper James to work on.  I could go on all day about my love for Pinterest!!!!

Beckett's Blessing

Please keep in mind I created this blog to update family but it is also a journal/book for my children.


My baby B how very thankful I am that you are apart of our life.  You came to me after a devastating miscarriage.  I needed you and I know you needed me.  You healed my heart and brought such a sense of peace I had never experienced before in my life.  I knew something was missing in our little family and know that you are here I feel so complete.  I take such joy in all the little things I do for you.  Even your health issues cant stop me from enjoying ever ounce of you. On Sunday September 2 we had your baby blessing in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the Midland second ward.  You were blessed by your father.  Many of your family members came to share in this special event.  Your father and I shared our testimonies and so did your grandmother and Brother Snow.  For lunch we all gather together and ate as you were passed around and loved on.
