Beckett's First Two Years

Beckett's First Two Years.

Click on the link above and check out this slideshow I made of Beckett. I've been wanting to do something with all these photos for awhile. I started making a first year album/grandparent's brag book but didn't finish in time for Christmas. So finally I got my butt in gear and created a slideshow. I had to sort through thousands of photos and videos and narrow it down- which I'm not very good at. I want to show them all! It really is only the first 22.5 months of his life. In the future I will be more on top of things and not do 2 years at a time. You've probably seen a lot of these pictures before. Not all of the photographs in the slideshow did I take. I included a lot of snapshots taken over the past couple years. Just for your information, the song I chose to use gets a little funky in the middle. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to preview the whole song before I selected it- so oh well! I love these slideshows and incorporating videos with the photographs.

May 6 Moab trip

At the beginning of May we took a trip down to Moab, Utah and met up with our friends Kim and Mark. We were planning for this to be Beckett's first camping trip. I was a little nervous about how we would do- especially since Dan refused to bring a pack and play for him to sleep in. But apparently their were no campsites available so we got a hotel. I'll leave the camping with Beckett up to Dan some other time. The hotel had plenty of room for all of us and while the two boys slept we were able to play some phinochle. The next day Dan and Mark went off to go biking. Kim shuttled them there while I stayed and played with the boys in the hotel room (and took some pics of them). Their favorite toy was the microwave and putting trucks and the remote into it. Thankfully they didn't ever learn how start it. However the glass plate in it did fall and shatter- oops! If I would have known that was going to take nearly 2 hours for Kim to drop the guys off- we would have gone to the park to play. Oh well! When Kim got back we packed up and headed to this cool music park. There were tons of catepillars everywhere. You could see the catepillar nests everywhere up in the trees. Kinda sick. So Kim was not sad that we couldn't stay long. The boys enjoyed banging on the junk to make sounds and playing at the playground. Beckett was a bit distracted watching the catepillars everywhere even crawling all over him- but he didn't seem bothered by them. We then went out to eat at Pasta Jays- afterwards we took Beckett to another park to play for a bit before heading home. It was a quick trip but fun to see friends and do something different.
