Mason and ME!

Here's me and my chunky monkey. As you can see he's thinking about getting some teeth so he's a drool bucket! I can't believe he's 6 months old! Where does the time go?

SKATING AT THE LOCAL RINK

Parker was doing some GROOVIN' while on the ice... GO PARKER!

Tanner and his friend from our old neighborhood, Brent who was able to come with us and skate for the first time... and he did GREAT! Way to go BRENT!

Evan trying to be big like his older brothers!

Recipe Club @ Beck's House

So I'm trying something new and just hosted the 2nd recipe club at my house. I've invited friends to come and bring a dish and a recipe. We eat, have some "girlie time" and then go home with a recipe. It works great because we get to eat and try something new and our families also can benefit from it as mommy gets some "girlie time" and the family can try the new recipes! Here are just a few pictures from both nights. These pictures are not everyone who were there, but are the ones I took when I remembered to pull out the camera! Thanks ladies and look forward to seeing you all again in April! PS The picture of Mary Kay up top in the red shirt holding her hair above the chocolate fountain... yep, you guessed it! She was talking and didn't know that her hair was getting a chocolate conditioning treatment. The best part... we kept dipping into the fountain as true chocolate loving women should!

Check out Mason's "MOOBS"!

As a request per family members, here is a recent picture of Mason and his "moobs" (man boobs). He's actually doing a good job of MAINTAINING his weight, but at this rate he's a lot like our Parker was. Mason's rolling now and loves to eat his cereal. Last night when I fed him green beans, it was so cute! He would take a spoonful and then do that body shake where you kind of shake your shoulders and head like "this is disgusting, mom". It was so funny because he kept eating it, but EVERY bite it was like he had to stomach it down.

More MASON! Our future HOCKEY player!

Here's our latest hockey player and his stats: At 5 months old, weighing in at 21 lbs 7 oz, 27 1/2" long, coming to us from his home state of Missouri he brings the defense and size of a linebacker, but the ability to move like a foward. Way to go, Mason! (Did you like how I incorporated all the sports as who knows what this one will be playing !?!?)

Me and Mommy!!!

Here's me and mommy posing for the camera. Whose cheeks are bigger?

A Presidential Trip... only we didn't see any Presidents!

For Valentine's Day, we suprised the kids with a trip to the Great Wolf Lodge in Kansas City, KS. It's an indoor waterpark inside a hotel and we went there about a year and half ago. It's a quick fix when you need "summer" and so we went on President's Day. We went with some friends from church and a had a good time. It was just a 2 day, overnight trip and it came to an end too soon! The kids are counting down until next year when we can go back! A definite family favorite!
