1st Halloween

We have done a lot of celebrating for Beck's 1st Halloween with our annual party at Condie Manor and then a party at our neighbors. Now that it is actually Halloween I don’t think Beck will even put his costume on once more. He was such a cute little lobster and a good sport. He parted late into the night and is a big fan of strobe lights.

My Big Boy

Beck loves his little doggy to cuddle with

Lake Powell

It was Beck's first of many trips to Lake Powell. We had a great time and he was such an angel. He got his first tooth while we were there and you would of never known. I cannot believe how easy he is. We went on a long hike into some Narrows and he tagged right along. Never making a peep. We ended up getting rained out the last day so we headed home early.

Cookie Monster

I had a cookie in my hand and he was quick to grab it away and put it straight in his mouth. So I decided to let him finish it off.

Gardners Village

Beckham was amused by both the hay and the pumpkins. We are getting excited for his first Halloween.






















That looks a litle like my mom

Like Father Like Son

Auntie and Uncles

This is a shout out to Aunt Candice and Uncle Dave and Uncle Zach. Thanks for all your help with Beck. He loves spending time with you and dont worry Candice I will work with you on getting the stroller down. (She got so frustrated trying to fold it down and threw the stroller down on the ground:)

St George

Jon and I, well okay mostly I needed a little escape to warmer weather. We headed south to St. George for the weekend. It is always nice to escape there because it is so close and the weather was so nice. We had a great time hanging by the pool and eating out. Beckham got to spend sometime with his Great Grandpa and Grandma Helm. That was really great. Of course he was a happy easy baby as usual. I don’t know why we got so lucky. He is so easy going and fun. I guess he knew he was getting a Mom that would be carting him all around.

Also while in St George we heard some good news that our offer we made on a home on a home in Lehi was accepted. Yah we were building a home there but the investors are a little corrupt and after 6 months of having our money informed us that they are no longer going to build our home so we franticly searched and found a cute little place that we both really like. The exciting part is that we can be in as early as the end of Oct. We can’t wait.

Fall is coming

The temp dropped from the 90's to the low 50's with a little snow in one day. Fall is really just around the corner. So time to pull out the warm sweaters. We had like 5 people trying to get Beck to look at the camera without much luck.

I love New York

Candice and Dave went to NY and with much effot brought Beck back this great shirt. He looks so darling in it.

More Boating

Jon and I have been so lucky to have such a boat happy baby. Beck is such a doll. He is all smiles. Jon thinks he is a Mama's Boy. I think I can agree but hey what is wrong with that? He is just jealous. Although Beck does light up when he see's his Daddy. Jon gets to keep Beck 2 nights a week while I go work out. I usually come home to find them reading books together. I love watching them together.

Beckham 8 Months

Go Cougars

We Breed them young

Finally I can reach it

After many months of this mobile being out of reach Beck is finally big enough to sit up and grab hold of it.

Beck's Bathtime

Spick and Span, just like Mom likes me.As you can see he can get a bit ditry. Yummy Prunes!!
Thank goodness for the sink on Grandpa Helm's boat. Even when boating he gets his baths.
This is usually where Beck has his baths. In the kitchen sink just like his uncle Alex and Zach use to do.

Graduation 2006

Jon Graduated with his MBA and Masters in Engineering this August. Congrats Jon we are very proud of you. He has taken job at Vision Bankcard here in Orem. It is a good company.

Here our some pics of big graduation day.

Beckham with Beckham

Well NO we did not name our child after the famous soccer star David Beckham. But after looking at his picture I dont think it it such a bad thing. David Beckham was here in Utah last week with Real Madrid to play against Real SLC. So a friend of Jon's ran into him at the Apple store and took a pic. I felt bad that we did not get one with our Beckham so here is the best we can do. Beck's with Baby Beck's. Look our Beck has even started to work on the hairdo.

Boating

Well were lucky enough to get to store Colby ( our beloved 25 yr old boat) for the summer since my dad ( well actually my mom ) decided that our family needed a bigger boat. Hey we cannot complain we now have a new family boat and Jon and I have our beloved old faithful Colby. It has been great since Utah Lake is 5 minutes from our house here in Provo. Jon has had some good experience in repairs that I am sure he would love to forget. We have been able to go to the lake at least once a week with friends and family. Beck is a real trooper and usually falls asleep within the first 5 minutes we are on the boat. Jon has really gotten into the Wake Skate ( looks like a skateboard on water). He has inproved, but I cannot lie he needs a lot more work:). Fortunatly skiing came back to him afer he has been trying to get up all summer with his wrong foot forward and back. After drowning all summer in effort he diecided to switch his feet and popped up out of the water first try. I know he feels a lot better now that he remebered what foot goes where. I guess we have been living it up on the water since I was out of commission last thanks to our boy( well worth It)



This is Beck with his cousin Presley

Newport Beach

Jon took off to Alaska with his Dad and brother Scott for a week so Beck and I decided we were not going to stick around. We went with my family down to Newport Beach. Since Beck is a little waterbaby I knew he would have a great time. We spent everyday at the beach. Beck loved laying under the unbrella and rubbing his hands though the sand. I decided we needed some pics of him by the water. So with the help of Aunt Candice we were able to get a few shots. He fell over once and that was enough for him. He had sand in all of his cracks.
