my sweet.

my baby....

i cant believe how much he is growing up

xoxo to my beckham boy

it's official....

i stopped drinking soda.

no more diet coke, diet dr. pepper, and diet root beer.

my life is a little more boring now.

i have a little less energy now.

i do feel a little bit skinnier now.

my skin looks a little bit better now.

i guess then i am happier now.

good-bye

good bye to my soccer team....

i will miss the bruises on my thighs

the body checking into the walls

getting out of breath so much i see stars

my crazy competitive edge that comes out

the small fights

the feeling from scoring a goal

the cabin.

we just enjoyed our family's fabulous cabin this last weekend. the weather was perfect....chilly, cold, but sunny outside, and snow all over the ground. we invited our friends scott and rachael, and then took my niece rilee to help babysitt the kids. {thanks again rilee} i absolutely love going to the cabin.....we always enjoy the traditional things like going to the same mexican restaurant for dinner, playing games, relaxing, going snowboarding, and riding the ranger. until next time....

what we have been doing

getting ready to go to the snow

going to the park

and being naughty...super naughty

christmas

merry christmas to us....we had a great one

may your days be merry and bright

this week of december

i feel like i sat home in my workout clothes all week, but then i really think about it we have actually been doing a lot...

- we went to the temple lights
- we went and saw santa twice.... when he asks berkeley what she wants she says presents, then he asks what kind, she says toys, then he asks what kind of toys and she says a striped toy.....{no idea}
- we went and saw princess and the frog
- we made a gingerbread house
- we went to our stake christmas concert
- we have watched mickey's twice upon a christmas 18 times
- i managed to lose 5 pounds then quickly gain it back again
- i'm pretty sure i partially tore my acl at my soccer game on monday night. i heard the pop, and i felt the tear and pop. now i have a swollen painful knee that really isn't getting any better considering i have been over dosing on motrin.
- todd finished his semester. he is half way done with law school!!!!!!!
- beckham has managed to cry more now then he did when he was a wee little baby...i really cannot explain why but i have been reminding myself that this is only a phase {i hope}
- i got moved up from nursery to sunbeams. oh how i love my life just a little bit more.
and... i stayed in my workout clothes all day 3 times this week. wow. im not going to lie...i felt like a failure those days.

i love it all though because its part of the christmas season, and i really just cant get enough of it!

my kids make me smile

i love when berkeley says things to me like...

"mom...i love christmas time. thank you so much for christmas time"

or

" im going to get striped presents from santa!"

or

"tomorrow when we wake up we go to disneyland today! oh it be so fun!"

thanks to my sister whitney for taking our 2009 family pictures in

my parents amazing backyard

cold days make for happy kids

i don't know why but we have not been going to the park lately. its like prime

time park going season right now

and i have just not been doing it. so today we had nothing to do {besides boring lame cleaning}

so we decided to go to the park. it was really cold today....55 degrees....i was dying.....

but the kids did not seem to mind. they were both in heaven. berkeley ran around

with so much excitement she didn't know how to handle herself, and beckham

was mr. grins the entire time. i need to do this more often.....just go to the park me and the kids.

it was a nice treat to play with them and push them on the swings and not be distracted

with anything else.

{my happy gems}
