Family Activity Day: Week 1

Joe and I decided that since the weather is finally nice, we should take advantage of it and start a tradition that every Sunday we do a family activity with Beau.  We started this week off by rollerblading on the bike path.  I had warned Joe and Michelle, who also came with us, that I am not the best at stopping on my roller blades.  I think they thought I was kidding.....

 

Paige - 0  Bike Path - 1

Even with me wiping out on the bike path the first TWO MINUTES into our outing, we kept on going and Beau endured a little sunshine along the way :)

Beau's First Babysitter :)

 

Last night, Beau helped me chaperone at the middle school for our Fun Night.  There was dodge ball, dancing, games and pizza!  Beau loved watching the students show their moves on the dance floor and even starting jumping up and down in my legs as if he were dancing to the music.  

Aubrey was Beau's first babysitter a few weeks ago.  Since I didn't get an official picture of his first night with her, I figured I'd capture one to night to make up for it! :)  He does like to flirt with Miss Aubrey....this is trouble!! :)

Happy Birthday, Aunt Brookie!

 

Tuesday was Aunt Brookie's birthday!  Beau helped Aunt Brook celebrate by playing piano with her, and bringing pizza over to her house for dinner!  We hope you had an amazing birthday Brook :).  Joe, Beau and I love you so much! :)

He's Got it Down!

 

Monday night at my mom's house, Nana thought she would try giving Beau his first taste of carrots.  It's a good thing she did, because he LOVES them!  He has this whole "eating food" thing down now, and is a very good eater :)

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Beau just LOVES nibbling on his feet, even when they are covered in clovers :)  Happy St. Patrick's Day!

A Good Night to Grill!

Last night, Maggie, Pat and Natalie came over to grill out.  Beau hadn't seen Maggie since she was last home in December--so we were all excited to spend some quality time with her!  Since it was such a beautiful evening, Beau thought he'd "help" daddy grill.  I think he just wanted some alone time with dad :)

Getting Some Sun

Yesterday, Beau and I took a walk/jog for the majority of the afternoon.  We met up with Brook and Banx to go walk to the cemetary to visit our Grandma Peggy and then to feed the Ducks in the pond.  It was so beautiful out and sunny, so I thought Beau needed to enjoy the sun since he never has before!  Since it was a little bright out, Beau thought he needed to rock his new shades :)

Spring Break at Aunt PP's House!

Yesterday was the best day I've had on spring break yet---my niece Banx came to play while Brook went to a Dr. appt.  It was so much fun having Bankers here.  It is so precious to see how caring she is around Beau and how attentative she is to him.

This is her face after she had a little "no throwing toys talk" with me.

She thought she wanted to play with Beau's toys too....

My little peanut is a pro at rolling over now!

When I went to put Beau down for a nap, Banx thought she needed to nap with him too.  For a little while, she slept next to him.  After she woke up, she just layed there trying to put Dano's tail in Beau's face to sniff...gross Banx!

Alan and Crystal's Wedding

Saturday we went to Alan and Crystal Fawcett's wedding---it was beautiful and the bride was stunning!  It was so enjoyable to be with our friends for the evening and see them spoil Baby Beau.  As you can see below, Pat and Natalie just adore Beau! :)

He looks a litte confused here....

They tease that they just want to keep Beau as their own....I don't think so! :)

"Creepy face 'Uncle' Pat, I think I'll laugh at you to make it less awkward :)"

Kiss or Sniff?

Today is Camp Nana day!  My mom is watching Beau and Banx!  She is going to need a nap more than the babies I would imagine!  Good luck mom! :)


We can't tell if Banx is sniffing Beau, or kissing him in this picture...you decide :)

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

 

This weekend, we celebrated Joe's birthday in Des Moines with 12 of our close friends.  It was a great weekend out with friends and I'm so happy Joe was able to celebrate his birthday in style!  Even though we forgot to get a group picture for the night, the memories will last a lifetime :)

Tuesday was Joe's actual birthday, and we celebrated by going out to eat at Kaldera's.  Michelle ended up having the waiters sing "Happy Birthday" to Joe--he was very impressed! haha.  Of course Beau was dressed for the best for the occasion...he already likes to match his outfits like his mommy! :) 

Family Night at Uncle Alex's House

 

Joe decided that we are starting a tradition of having "family" day on Sundays with our close friends.  This Sunday was at Alex's house, and I just LOVE how Alex adores Beau and loves him :)  Beau is one blessed little guy to have so many "aunts" and "uncles" who love him!

I Can Do It Myself!

 

Beau can now hold his bottle himself, and he gets quite upset if you try to take the bottle away from him!  What a big boy :)
