Checking in on Dad at work

Last Friday, Beau was getting a little anxious at home with cabin fever, so we decided to go see Daddy at work.  Of course Beau wanted to play on Daddy's computer right away and ruin all of his important spreadsheets, thank goodness for auto-save!  After awhile, we took Beau into the warehouse.  And where did he head straight for?  That's right, the forklift.  Joe gave him a ride around and Beau just thought he was in 7th Heaven.  Of  course, when we took Beau off to go back into the office, he had a fit!  But Grandpa Scott was in his office today and Beau kept "checking in" on Grandpa to make sure he was doing his work.  I really don't know where Beau gets his bossiness from ;)

Checking in on Grandpa

Memorial Weekend 2013

For Memorial Weekend, we had intended on spending time at Rathbun boating with Scott and Michelle and then relaxing at my mom's pool for part of the weekend, but nature had other plans for us.  Since it was raining all weekend, we ended up going to stay with my Aunt Joi and Uncle Roger at their lake house in Thunderhead.  It was a great weekend down there with my family and our friends!  Thank you Aunt Joi and Uncle Roger for having us!!! :)

Beau loved helping Clint "drive" the boat and honking the horn

He wants to follow in "Grant's shoes" :)

Learning young how to be a fantastic bags player!

The weather was nice enough to go out boating!

Apparently Pat and Beau were worn out from the weekend because they both were passed out right away in the car ride home.

Escaped Baby!

For the past couple of months, Beau has been crawling out of his crib at home, and at Mary's.  We really wanted to catch it on video to see just how he does it at home, so Joe hid in Beau's closet and captured him in action.  (Don't mind Beau's messy/unfinished room, it is the last room in our house that I need to decorate and finish).

After we realized Beau was climbing out by using his toy box, we decided to move it.  To see how frustrated he is getting is priceless!

Shoe Theif

Beau is becoming quite fascinated with shoes---and not just his shoes.  Watch out, if you leave your shoes unattended, he will snatch them right up!

Daddy's Yard Helper

Again, to show how much of a daddy's boy Beau has become, he just LOVES being outside with Joe and helping out in the yard.  He even knows to go and grab Joe yard tools that he needs :)

Waiting On Dad

Lately Beau has had a change of heart as to who is his favorite.  I used to be his favorite for everything---whether he was was hurt, hungry, tired, sad, or just wanted to play.  Now, he only wants his Dada.  Breaks my heart, my little baby is growing up too fast! 

Right when we got home from school yesterday, Beau grabbed his bag of popcorn that I had brought him from school, and sat by the door saying "Dada bye-bye".  I asked Beau, "Are you waiting on Dada?"  Beau just smiled and said, "Uh-huh!  Dada!"  Even though I am not his favorite at the moment (except when he's tired/hurt or wakes up in the morning, he just wants me), it does warm my heart to see how great of a father Joe is and how much Beau adores him.  Maybe by the time we have another baby, I will be Beau's favorite again :)

Spring = Swing!

Yesterday, Mary sent me these adorable text pictures of Beau.  He absolutely loves to swing at her house, and he knows that since it is nice out now, he gets to play outside everyday with her!  Beau is definitely a little boy in every possible way---he just loves being outside.  Seeing him smile like this can turn any bad day, into the best day.
