Happy 8th Birthday to My Big Brother!

Iris likes Chancen's laugh

Chancen's birthday was on Friday and we celebrated on Thursday. He chose to eat dinner at the Panda Chinese Restaurant and then picked up an Oreo Blizzard from Dairy Queen. He ate a TON!!!

Little Miss Sunflower

I was trying to show Iris' size compared to a sunflower (which is almost the same!)

Reasons we miss my mom........

Top 10 Reasons Why We Miss Mary "GrandBee" Beacham:

1. cheese pancakes  for breakfast
2. humming to Iris to make her smile
3. changing her diaper when no one else wants to
4. her crock pot lasagna
5. going out to lunch
6. keith ripped his pants today and no one to fix them
7. no one to discuss Iris' most recent discomfort or reason for crying
8. no one else will rock Iris to sleep (goes against Baby Wise)

9. chancen wants someone to play basketball and Bayblades with.
10.because love having her here!!!!

We miss you!!

Cross Eyed

I have been trying to get the "right" picture for the baby announcement. I have a TON of ones I can't use. However, I love it when she is cross eyed. Keith says I shouldn't use it for the announcement.

2nd Anniversary on Sunday October 16th

 

Keith & I had a lovely day. We took a hike around the property (as Chance watched Iris sleep) and Keith made us lunch.

Iris was rather fussy.

We dressed up in our wedding attire and tried to take a self portrait.

I cooked us dinner (sauteed shrimp, broccoli and mashed potatoes).
However, as Iris does best, she woke up just as I served dinner. I ended up nursing her at the table.

Cloth Diapers

So, do you like me in my fuchsia Bum Genius cloth diaper?

or, my shamrock one?

Visit With Dad, Frank, Stephanie (Mom was already here)

Uncle Frank Cooing at Iris

Dad was beat after playing golf with Keith. We found it amusing to watch him get up and move around

Frank and Steph with Parsons and Henry.  Parsons missed ya'll when you left, The only time he has ever slept downstairs was when you were here!!!
