I never was a real fan of Halloween in the past, but it is pretty fun with kids. Clay and I decided to have a little Halloween party at our house and invited a bunch of people from our ward. We worked really hard preparing for the party and I always panic right before thinking no one is going to come. To my surprise nearly everyone came and it was such a blast. We served chili, cornbread, chips, salsa, fruit, red velvet cake, and I made "haunted houses" for all the kids to decorate. Everyone came, ate, and stayed. It really was so much fun. Eva dressed up as Cookie Monster, her favorite character and Beck dressed as Oscar the Grouch. I even joined in wearing some Halloween pj's (thank you Rachel). They couldn't have been any cuter. I love my family so much and look forward to making many more memories. Here are a few pictures from my party. Enjoy...

Five Months. . .
Our little Beckham turns five months today. I can't believe that he has already been in our family for so long. It really only feels like he has been around for a couple months. He is such a pleasant and good baby. He has been sleeping through the night since five days old and last night he slept from 7 pm to 8 am without a peep. He is always happy and goes with the flow. The only time he gets upset is when he is by himself on the floor and can't see anyone. When you enter the room when he is crying he immediately stops and smiles. I guess he is going to be our social boy. He can flip himself around pretty quickly these days, but is still trying to figure out how to crawl. If he sees something he wants he lifts up his arms and legs balancing on his tummy (superman pose) thinking that is how you get around.
Eva is turning into quite the little girl. She is no longer our baby. She is always wanting to learn new things and asks questions constantly. She also thinks she is a little comedian, always trying to get a laugh out of people. She says funny things like, "Are you kidding me Chuck," and "Clay, just calm down". We went to California last month and we were watching the news about all the wildfires there. She was so worried about the fire. Then Jenna (my sister) made a CD and the first song was, "We Didn't Start the Fire." She loved the song and pretty much had it memorized the first time she heard it. She kept insisting she hadn't started the fire, but Jenna had. I don't know where she gets this stuff. She loves movies and is always asking to watch them. We don't have many Disney movies so it's a treat to go up to Janae's house and watch them. Janae is Eva's grandma, but Eva insists that she isn't. She says, "Janae's not my grandma, she's my best friend!"
Moving on. . .we are happy, busy, and have a great life.
Eva knows all her ABC's!

Laughing Beckham
Last night I had Beckham belly laughing for ten minutes straight as I was changing him before bedtime. I don't know why I didn't think to grab the camera until the end. So he isn't laughing as hard as he was when I finally pulled out the camera, but I still think he's pretty cute in it.

Long awaited. . .
Life has been pretty crazy the past couple of months, but fun at the same time. Beck is now three months old and the most pleasant baby to be around. He is a great addition to our family. Eva is funny, but tests the limits everyday. Clay is working hard building his business and I am trying to keep the house clean and get back in shape. More to come. . .

Happy Birthday to me. . .yesterday!
I am a little late posting this. My mom and brother made this great video for my birthday. I think this was my best birthday yet. I felt completely loved and spoiled. It was an awesome day!

Kelly Clarkson
Clay bought me Kelly Clarkson tickets for Mothers Day. The concert was a lot of fun. Kelly is a great performer and singer. She sounds awesome live. We ended up taking our niece Sophie and her cousin Ellie. Chuck was able to buy a last minute ticket outside the stadium. It was a little rainy and chilly, but overall very comfortable. I loved sitting on the grass and listening to the live music. I had to take video of the last song she sang, "My Life Would Suck Without You." Eva says this is "our song" and always wants to listen to it. She knows every word and sings it all the time.
