Fall Crafty Crafts

I have been crafting my little heart out this weekend. I love doing this kind of stuff! So to all those crafters out there I have the best information (if you don't already know). I discovered this shop in Murray called, 'The Wood Connection'. It's awesome! They have all the wooden crafts & craft ideas you'd ever need. Tons of wooden block letters & cute house decor ideas, I was in heaven. They have wooden block ideas for every season/holiday. What they do is you can buy things seperately but if you like one of their ideas you can buy the set of letters & then get the rest of your supplies in their shop (paper, glue, paint, modge podge, brushes, etc).

I needed some more fall holiday decor so I bought their set to make 'Harvest' as well as 2 wooden pumpkins & a wooden picture block.

I painted & modge podged paper onto the block letters, finishing with ribbon. I painted & glued the pumpkins together, topping off with aging varnish. Then I just modge podged the picture block w/ a little ribbon for Beckett Boy's room.

Moral of the story? Check out The Wood Connection!

4 months old!

I can't believe it, my baby is now 4 months old. He is a growing, happy boy to say the least! We went to the doctor earlier this week, here are his 4 month old stats:

Height: 26 1/2" (95%)

Weight: 16 lbs (75%)

He is a tall boy, to no suprise. He has also been developing like crazy this past month! He now can grab, touch, and reach for his toys. He is so aware of his surroundings. He is finally noticing the dog & stares at him as Romeo walks around. He is very happy and smiles all the time & has been a maniac in his jumper toy we got (pic below). He is getting good at sitting & standing up, just needs to work on his balance. Beckett also love loves to slobber & he discovered his feet which he loves to chew on! Beckett is the love of our life, we love everything about him! Below are some adorable pictures of Baby B from the past few weeks (yes, I might have a small picture problem....but I can't help it....he's adorable!)

Labor Day Weekend

We very much enjoyed out Labor Day Weekend. NO WORK OR SCHOOL! You can't get much better that. We got to relax & spend some good time together as a family. On Monday we headed up to Wellsville (next to Logan) to enjoy the towns parade & 'Sham Battle'. Josh's family has gone this every year as a tradition because that is where is mother & grandparents are from.....this year was my first. It was fun and the Sham Battle was quite the experience. Basically they redo the battle between the first settlers in Wellsville and the Indians....they even burn a fake little wood cabin. It doesn't get more authentic than that! By the end of the day Beckett Boy was pooped out....check out the picture in his carseat. He totally fell asleep while sucking on my finger (he enjoys it & I let him do it when its the only thing that will satisfy him).

We also spent a day at the Ogden Country Club....we had brunch & spent the afternoon in the sun. It was wonderful & B's first time swimmin!

Love.

So I saw this video on my friend mini me's blog. It was so adorable that I couldn't resist stealing it & posting it on my blog. Enjoy.

White Coat Ceremony

Josh had his Roseman University Whitecoat Ceremony on the 19th at the Sandy Country Club. What is a whitecoat ceremony you ask? Well i'm not entirely sure why they do it but its basically your induction into medical school (that's what Josh said).

It was fun, he has his white coat now, they had a lot of good speakers....here is to the next 4 years!

Maine

Maine! We just got back from a fabulous family vacation to Maine. We stayed in an amazing beach house right in a cute little cove. I'll summarize what we did...

-beach
-shopped around in Portland & at the outlets & L.L. Bean store in Freeport
-ate fabulous seafood
-Beckett touched the ocean for the first time
-visited a few light houses
-Josh, Trev & Aunt Gina ran the Beach to Beacon 10k
-Lobsterfest: had a huge lobster cook-out at our beach house (Josh ate 4!)
-rode the ferry to Peaks Island
-had fun and relaxed! :)

3 Months

Baby B is 3 months old! I can't believe it....time is passing us by way too fast.

Beckett is a big, growing, happy boy. According to our measurements (which are probably a little inaccurate), we believe he is about 15 lbs now & 26" long. He has been developing like he should-grasping objects, smiling & making lots of noises, and he love loves to put his hands in his mouth. We love him.
