{grin}
i am so excited to finally {5 months later} have beckham a happy baby. he hasn't been the worst baby in the world, but definitely not the easiest baby. he would only sleep for about 3o minutes for his naps since day one, and i seriously was SO frustrated. so finally this week he is FINALLY taking 3 2-3 hour long naps. honestly it is the best thing ever. i already have found myself thinking about my next baby...then i think how much i hate being pregnant and i quickly drop that idea. beckham is so much more happy and so am i. {grin}

ahhhh.....newport {sigh}
20 adults, and 29 kids sums up our family newport trip this year. as much fun as we had, it was sure exhausting. i feel like going on vacation all of the sudden makes me more tired than it does relax me. i guess welcome to life with 2 kids!
newport was amazing again this year. i think my favorite part was the weather. it was beautiful. every day the sun was out all day, there was always a perfect breeze, and the ocean water was surprisingly tolerable. i have always loved newport my whole life but i feel like this year i fell in love with it all over again. seeing dolphins every day does add to the appeal. i could have stayed out on that beach for 2 more weeks, from 10am to 6pm every day....and so could berkeley.
i kind of feel bad because as i went through my pictures, i did not take ONE picture of beckham. is that a bad mom or what?!? the days he was out on the beach with us he was...tolerable....not easy, not totally hard....but tolerable. i was lucky to have him stay at the house 2 whole days while my sister watched him one day and my cousin watched him another, and it was really nice to just relax and not have to worry about a fussy baby all day. berkeley was a gem. she is the most easy going, happy, mild mannered kid i know. she is basically content to do anything. she would play in the sand for hours, go out in the water with us and dive under waves, swim in the ocean where she couldn't touch, and jump over the little waves with her cousins.
as far as the other aspects of the trip....i have never stayed inside the house as much as i did this year....2 kids and all...and i absolutely LOVED running along the boardwalk with my sister looking at all the amazing houses. i loved seeing berkeley bond with her cousins and remember all of their names, and always ask for them when they weren't with her. i loved seeing her wake up carley every morning because she was so excited just to play. we played nertz a few of the nights, which i don't know why, but we become insanely out of our minds when we play. we laugh until we cry, and we constantly say the dumbest funniest things ever. i love that!
what a great tradition that my family has....i truly love it every year!
some of the adults...all in a row
one of berkeley favorites of the week....cole
all the warner cousins + amies 2 babies
we know...its illegal to catch star fish, but i couldn't resist letting her hold one.

our favorite ice cream shop....we always ride bikes and walk to the ice cream shop and my mom buys ice cream for everyone. the owners remember us every year. they are really sweet people.
until next year....

2009.07.04
i think 4th of july is my second favorite holiday. {christmas of course is my 1st} i think i have loved it all of my life. i am a total summer person, and it is such a family oriented holiday with warm and fuzzy memories. we were in carlsbad again this year carrying on the farnsworth family tradition and stayed for a week. the weather was beautiful and perfect, and our resort was even more perfect. so many times while we were there i kept thinking it felt like we were in hawaii. on the 4th we started the day with swimming all day. then we met up with family friends for a bbq outside in the large grass area, and played a little sports while we were out there. then we went back to the pool area for games, smores, and then fireworks. we put beckham to bed and kept our phones as monitors so we could thoroughly enjoy the evening, and may i say, it was a good decision to put him to bed! berkeley loved the whole day. the kids got glow sticks and she thought that it was perhaps the most clever thing ever. when the fireworks came she absolutely loved those as well. she had to make sure and sit with different people during the show so she could enjoy it with everyone. like always it was such a fun 4th.....that's why its my favorite.
