1st Time Driving!

The other night, we were working in the backyard by the fire pit and Beau kept getting into the pickup pretending to drive.  So, Joe thought we would actually let him try it.  And believe it or not, Beau was actually able to drive (not using the gas pedal) by himself! 

Autumn Acres 2013

Wednesday night was Church night at Autumn Acres.  Last year Beau was a little too young to enjoy everything, but he most definitely loved it all this year!  He first would NOT leave the corn-box.  I really think he could have stayed in there all night if I would have let him.  After making hotdogs and eating about six bags of fruit snacks, he was ready to go down the slide!  Nana was nice enough to take him down :)  After a fun tractor ride, picking corn with Uncle Austin, and a wagon ride with Banx, Beau was all tuckered out.  I can't wait to do it again next year!

Sleepover!

Last Friday, Banx stayed over at our house for a sleepover.  Joe and I honestly love having Banx around.  She is so sweet, polite, and so easy to take care of!  Not only is she a big helper around the house, she is a big helper with taking care of Beau.  I love seeing Beau and Banx's relationship grow and how fond they are of one another.  Beau's new name for Banx is "Banxie".  Too cute!

Since they kids got a little dirty from playing outside, they both decided they wanted to shower in the master bath.  Why wouldn't two kids want to play in a huge double shower?!

After getting all cleaned up, I treated them to some movie time with Mickey and Barney.  I couldn't believe that they both sat STILL while watch TV.  That never happens!

Can't wait for the next sleepover! :)

Stylin' Dude

One thing is certain, Beau loves clothes and shoes!  He is becoming very picky about what he likes to wear and if he does not like the outfit you picked out for him, good luck trying to get him to wear it!  The other  day I asked him what he wanted for his birthday, he said "new shoes".  I guess maybe I will have a shopping partner over the years after all :)

When we were getting ready the other night to go out to eat for my birthday, Beau definitely won the "best dressed" award in our group.  He helped pick out quite the stylin' get-up.  I think it is safe to say I had the most handsome date of everyone that night :)

25th Birthday

Sunday I turned 25...I honestly feel so old now even though I know I am not!  Normally, birthdays are a huge deal for me, but this year just seemed different.  One thing that just made my day, was this video I took of Beau.  My mom had taught him Saturday to say on his own "Happy birfday Mommy, I yuv you."  Best birthday present ever!

Loving the Duckies

Beau truly loves going to the cemetery to feed the ducks.  He will yell "Here duckies, eat!"  His arm is getting pretty good from throwing bread too :)
