Quick Update!

Okay so our laptop decided to die so it is being fixed for the next 3-4 weeks. I am currently using a friends for a minute to check the banking, email etc. In the mean time here are a few updates. Chet has been offered a job with Fidelity National as one of their in-house attorneys. Which means no more bill-ables yeah for Chet!! His drive will be a lot longer but oh well. We are excited for his new adventure. Cooper has a field trip to the Lied Children's Museum, he has been looking forward to this for weeks. I will give more details on that when we get our computer back. Beckham is potty trained!! No more diapers!! We woke up a couple weeks ago and decided that it is time. He caught on and has been such a big boy going on his own and everything. As for myself there is not much to report. That's all for now. Until we get our computer back, I hope all goes well in your lives.

Lunch is Served

Today Cooper did not want to eat at lunch time. So an hour later when he did want to eat I was not ready to make another lunch for him. "I will make my own lunch then". He went inside and started cooking. I thought he would make a PB'n'J but when Chet went into check on him he had got out a pan, cracked an egg, thrown the shell away, got a cup of water and milk to pour into the pan and had the spatula to stir it all together. He then asked Chet to get the food coloring, one half of a bananna and a shrimp without the tail. Chet said with each request was very authoritative. Chet turned on the stove and Cooper cooked his Lunch. As you can imagine it did not smell good or taste good. He was so proud of his cooking abilities he wanted to try again with just an egg.

Lion King

A couple of weeks ago my mom and all of my sisters came to Las Vegas to have a girls night out. Chet was a trooper and kept my sisters 8 month old baby while we went to dinner and "Lion King". We had such a great time! The costumes were amazing and the actors voices were breath taking. If you have not had a chance to see it I recommend it. I love living in Las Vegas where we can go to shows anytime we want.

Beckham's pictures

A couple of weeks ago we went to Target to get Beckham's 3 year old picture taken. I like to go there because they do a pretty good job and it is cheap. When I picked the pictures up they asked if they could put one picture in thier book to show others. I thought that was the coolest thing. I have always thought my kids were cute and take good pictures so I was pretty excited that someone else did too. The black and white is the one they kept. The others I just liked so I thought I would share.
 
   

Disney On Ice

We went to Disney On Ice a couple of weeks ago. It was raining so we left a little earlier than normal. We arrived at the event at 6:00 pm only to find out that doors did not open til 6:30. So we stood outside for 30 minutes. Once the doors did open we found our seats and waited until 7 (when it started). A few minutes after 7 the show still had not started so I looked on our tickets low and behold the show did not start until 7:30. Poor boys. They were so patient. Once the show started the boys loved it! We saw the "Cars" characters, "Little Mermaid", "Lion King", and "Tinkerbell". I hope that we will be able to go next year.

Christmas in Layton

We spent Christmas in Layton with all my family. My sister Kelly (who lives in TX) and I planned to be there so we could all be together. My mom and dad put a lot of work into making our trip there super fun. We had food, games and best of all the whole family was there.

While in Layton we went snow-mobiling, the boys had a great time. Yes that is Beckham asleep on the snow-mobile. How he fell asleep and then stayed asleep when I took all his snow clothes off I will probably never understand. Cooper loved helping us drive. If you can imagine he wanted to go as fast the possible.

Beckham's Birthday

Beckham turned 3 mid December. He was so embarrassed anytime we sang to him. The picture of him sitting in the garage is when we were singing and he hid behind my legs. We pretty much celebrated the whole week just about everyday he got another present or we had our birthday dinner. We did not do that on purpose that is just how it worked out. Beckham is really into "Star Wars" and wanted a green lightsaber for his birthday so of course he got that. Chet and I thought it was time that he had a bike of his own so that was his main present. He loved it, although I don't think it beat the lightsaber.

We are so thankful that Beckham is in our family. He brings a smile to our faces everyday. He is so willing to help out and eager to please. We love him very much.
