Stapley Ski Day

Every year the Stapley side gets together for a family ski day. This year the Arizona Stapley's weren't there...we missed them! It was a wonderful day of skiing....soooo warm too! It was my kind of skiing, warm enough that most of us didn't even wear our winter coats. I think I have decided that from now on i'll only go skiing on warm days, its so much better for me:)

We had a great time though. Everyone is pretty dang good, especially Bree. No broken bones, a couple of scratches and bruised tailbones though. We'll see what next year has in store.

After skiing we celebrated my dads birthday. The old man is now 51, and knowing him....he's got another 51 years of skiing in him.

10 Months

B is 10 months old! He is so close to his birthday....right around the corner. Love this little guy.

B is a mover.

Beckett is getting more mobile by the second. He crawls everywhere. On top of that he is learning how to climb....yippee ;) He is also making progress with walking. He isn't walking unassisted but can use all of his walking toys by himself now. Our house is going to be even more of a mess when he starts walking! Josh & I made a bet about when he'll walk (at least 3 steps unassisted)....whoever wins gets a date of their choice.

Josh: 3/20/12

Me: 4/1/12

I'm totally going to win.

Spring is in the air

Spring is in the air....I can feel it (even though its snowing outside). Here is my latest craft. Yes, I probably will have enough decor/crafts to fill 10 houses by the time i'm 50.

Latelies

I wanted to give an update on what has been going on with us lately. Beckett had his ear tubes put in today. He was such a trooper! I am so proud of him. He got put under and when he came out he had like no control over his body. It was so sad. He was sleepy for a bit, but woke back up and was his normal self pretty quickly. I have high hopes that these tubes will get him feeling much better. The doctor said he had tons of thick blockage in both ears, so he should be feeling AND hearing much better now.

Here are the other things that have been going on:

Josh has been keeping busy at dental school.

We have gotten some visitors.

You have to have a good naked picture. Good blackmail for later on in life:)

B has been sleeping AND growing like a champ.

Celebrated Vday. Got a pretty necklace. Thanks Josh!

Beckett has been playing with his bucky beaver binky. So funny.

Playing at Jan & Grandpa Stape's house for a family din din.

Ate at the Cheesecake Factory on President's Day. B had the funniest smile in this pic.

Beckett is being as cute as ever.

Super Bowl Sunday

We had our annual super bowl sunday party at my parents house. My mom was exhausted from planning my grandparents anniversary party so I helped make some appetizers & desserts. My new hobby is finding new recipes & making them. For dessert I made peanut butter cup brownies, graham cracker cupcakes w/ key lime frosting, & pie sticks. My lucky family got to try them....needless to say they weren't all a hit! haha, thats okay, I was proud of my creations. We had a good time, and as usual ate way too much food.
