Cousins

Brinley's cousins are in town from Albuquerque, NM and she is having so much fun with them.. She follows them around like their little shadows. We love it when they come to town. Our nights are always packed with games, food and family.. what more could you ask for? Sydni, Bailey, Brinley and Darren
Brinley loves Nicholas!! And he is so good with her
Sydni and Brinley dancing around the house!
Bailey and Brinley watching a Disney Princess movie. Such girlie girls, I love it!!

Two more days!!!

I know the baby ticker says I have 7 days left, but thankfully I have a doctor who is willing to induce me a week early so this boy doesn't get too big for me to deliver... so YEAH!! I am going to be induced on Monday. I am so ready and excited to be bringing another life into this world, what a priviledge it is to be a mother! I will post as soon as I can with pictures and stats of our little Beckham. Wish me luck, I hope this labor is a easy as my first (knock on wood)..

A Day in The Life

How would it be to have no worries in the world. I mean, look at this girl just chillin' by her pool with a popsicle on a hot day.. Not fair. She doesn't even have to wear clothes, just put her in a diaper and she's off.. Seriously though, she loves to be outside in either her sand box or her pool. So we decided to make some popsicles for her and she is in heaven..

Courtney Before and After

Well, my sister Courtney was brave enough to give me free reign on her hair. The only decision she had to make is whether she wanted to go lighter or darker. .. she chose lighter. Let me just say that she looks SO CUTE!!! It turned out perfectly and it looks hot on her.. Watch out boys!! Thanks for being such a great sport Court!!! Before

(don't worry, she never seems to have her eyes open during pictures, ever)
After... I love it!!
He is the back and in the mirror you can see the front... You can really see the A-line affect in the mirror.

Belated Father's Day!!

Happy Father's Day (belated) to the men in my life!!Darren is the best daddy ever!! He love his little girl so much and is very anxious for his boy to be here. He is always willing to help with everything (yes, even diapers). He has loved being able to spend one on one time with Brinley every night while I am at school. He is so patient and loves kids. I love you honey and love that I get to raise our eternal family with such a great man!! Happy Father's Day!
My dad has always been such a great example to me. I knew the kind of man I wanted to marry had to be like him in so many ways. He has always been there for me with great advice and a willingness to help no matter the situation. He can fix absolutely anything, and I mean anything. He LOVES cars and especially racing them. I love you so much dad and don't know what I would do without you in my life as such a constant! Happy Father's Day!
This is my Father-in-law, Ed. He is such a great man. He is a great father to his 6 boys and an amazing grandpa to his 10, soon to be 11, grandkids. He is always willing to lend a helping hand and is definately a family man. He is a great collector of items (sand from all over the world, coins, elephant statues and more) and someone we can always call on for advice or a friendly ear when we need to vent. Thank you for always being there. We love you!! Happy Father's Day!

Time flies..

In the Hospital... She was only 5 lb 13 oz and 18 inches
All bundled up to go outside
I love this picture of her!
What up yo?
And here is our little princess now, all grown up

As I am getting ready for this new baby, I can't help but think how much time has flown by. I feel like Brinley was just born yesterday and here she is going to be turning two in a few months and a brother coming in just a couple of weeks. She has been such a blessing and brings such a sweet personalitly into our home. She is going to be such a great big sister. We are so blessed and can't wait for this new baby to be here!!! Here are some pictures so you can reflect on the time along with me.

Hubby Tag

Well, I was wondering when I was going to get tagged, I knew my turn was approaching. So here is the hubby tag. I am tagging Melissa Gray, Cymony Tarin and Stacy Burrup. Have fun guys!!

How long have you been married? A little over 2 1/2 years... One daughter and a boy on the way, I know we started way early

How old is your spouse? 35, what an old man

Who eats more? I think we probably eat the same amount.. I definately eat more junk food than he does, but we usually eat about the same.

Who said I love you first? I did, I said it one night before I went home and getting a goodnight kiss, he didn't say it till we were almost engaged..

Who is taller? Darren is I am 5'3" and he is 5'6"

Who sings better? Well we both sing to the radio.. I would say I am better cause I can actually hold a note.. Darren on the other hand, belts it out and sings at the top of his lungs not caring who hears or what he sounds like... embarrassing but definately more fun

Who is smarter? Darren hands down has more street smarts then me, I am always dumbfounded by some of the brilliant things he says and comebacks that just roll off the tongue.. I on the other hand am always left in the dust. In school I think I am better in English and he is way better in Math

Who controls the T.V. remote? Darren does, I could honestly say that 90% of the TV we watch is controlled by Darren. I usually don't mind and if I want to watch something else and he doesn't, I usually end up watching it in our room.

Whose temper is worse? I think we both have the same temperment, I am more quick to show it, he is more patient, but I think we are both pretty easy going

Who does the laundry? I do, but Darren will help out when I ask him to, and if he sees me folding the laundry he will come help

Who does the dishes? I do, I think the entire time we have been married I can count on one hand how many times Darren has done them.. But that is fine because I am kinda OCD and like things done a certain way, so no complaining there

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? If you’re looking at it, Darren does.. I am closer to the door so I can see into Brinley's room and can get out of bed easier when she needs me at night.

Who cooks dinner? When we actually cook, I do. Unless its the BBQ, then I leave that to Darren who cooks a mean steak.. I am trying to be better with the whole cooking thing though.

Who is more stubborn? I would say he is and he would say I am, but we are both equally stubborn... drives me crazy

Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? It depends on the situation... although I should say Darren because I HATE to admit I am wrong.

Whose parents do you see the most? Mine...

Who has more friends? Neither of us, we don't have friends.. sad I know. We hang out with his brother and his wife a lot who are so fun and when we aren't with them we are with eachother..

Who has more siblings? Darren does... 5 brothers, I have 2 sisters and 1 brother

Who wears the pants in the family? I think Darren does, but its more likely that it is an equal thing.

Zermatt Resort

This weekend we spent theweekend in Heber at the Zermatt Resort with 3 of Darren's brother's and their wives and kids. We had so much fun swimming and riding on the carousel and playing miniature golf. It was the perfect weekend for it and was especially nice to have a weekend getaway with family before Beckham is born, just 4 weeks left. As you can see Brinley had a blast. After each ride she wanted to change what animal she got to ride. When we were out of tokens she was so sad and kept crying "ride, ride" So we had to go to the pool to keep her entertained. A great weekend! This was my favorite one she rode, she looks so cute and girly on it
Darren rode with her every time, I think he liked it as much as she did
Brinley and her cousin, Tyler, who she absolutely loves. She is his little shadow.
