IT'S a Texas Miricle

It SNOWED!!!!!!! Two years in a row! This is our House with snow for the 2nd time ever!

This is Lefty the snowman Gabe, Kade, Landon, and Grandma Karen made!!!!

The boys kept watching in amazement out the window~~~It snowing!!!!

Gabe said Landon kept saying COLD COLD COLD!!!!! Kade loved the snow but not Landon so much:)

The dogs Loved it! They probably wished I didn't shave them a couple weeks ago!

Grandma and her cutest Grandsons(for now at least)

And this is the snow in action and Kades swinging skills hes picked up the last few weeks! Pumping his legs! Unfortunately I was working! But thank goodness Gabe is so good to always pull out the camera!!!

Well Who knows when it will snow next but that was a Big surprise! But I'm really ok if it never returns for this year! I live in Texas for a reason!!! I like shorts and flip flops on Christmas Day! LOL!!!

December is HERE!!!!!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving I was not very camera Happy... so No pics! I am so grateful for my whole family! We had 33 people! Gabe invited 3 of his students and the rest was Family! I love having a HUGE family! and that wasn't even everyone... I am grateful for our health! Health is everything! I am grateful for my Heavenly Father! I am grateful for my Friends, I have so many more things I am grateful for!
Krissy was sweet and made this cute card! She is way more on top of things than I am! I love the holidays! I love Christmas! I love my tree! Glitter is all over my house. Landon finds it very fun to try to rip all of the ornaments off...... no one else has that problem right?? Its cute though because Kade tells Landon "no no .. Wandon" He still can't say his L's. It sure is cute though. Its nice they are really playing well together lately.... But no not ready to have another one yet.... Landon is jumping out of his crib every night the other day he did it over 60 times before he finally gave up! I know I need to put him in a big boy bed ..... but I guess that means that would be my baby being a BIG boy not my BABY!!!! waaaaaa! I thank the Lord everyday for my three sweet boys (Gabe included)! Well we hope everyone has a great December!

Super Dr.

Dr. Butler's office!! Some people have asked me who I took Kade to.... Dr. Kevin Butler..... He is not a pediatric dentist ....just really good with kids and Adults ! I have gone to him since I was little..... so I brought Kade.... And Joleen is who Kade had as an hygienist and Jennifer is also great with kids there too! 281-358-7995. I was shocked how awesome of an experience Kade had! well there you go!

First Dentist Visit!!!!!

Today went like this...... Wake up go to the YMCA. Go to gymnastics ( which Kade loves!) then to lunch....took the Tahoe in to get detailed! woooooo hoooooo! surprisingly I LOVE a clean car! then we went on our way to the Dentist......on the way there I talked up how fun it was..... We got there and Kade was sooo excited... I told him he could have any toy he wanted to have if he did well.... so we got there...

Then he was asking to in there I was hoping they would hurry up before he changed his mind..... then the sweet hygienist came and got us to bring us back..... Kade surprisingly got super excited...hopped right up on the chair... I felt like passing out....LOL....

Kade said I guess I'll wear pink.... funny stuff....Then she said man you look strong show me your muscles......
Then the spider man glasses were busted out......... I thought that was pretty awesome they had spider man ones!!!!

Then Holy cow Kade let Jollene take some pictures of the "Transformers" in his mouth......Then we counted teeth while she scraped plaque off the teeth......
Kade did have a cavity... :( But I thought for sure he would have more than one... so for us one was good news..... Dr. Butler said it wasn't anything to have to fill yet but we will keep brushing and try to get uncle Ryan to floss for us! Then Joleen just brushed his teeth with a brush ....we were not ready for "Mr. Tickle" today..... Maybe next time. Thanks Kade for being a good boy! you surprised me!

Beckham Taft Benson

The most inprotant thing is the Milacon....... :)

He is a cutie! I had so much fun trying not to be a baby hog! While I was there I tried to let Teig and Tay sleep.....It was hard for her but with everything going on She needed it! Teigs mom had a heart attack the day before I went and has been in the hospital since. Lots of prayers are being said in her and her family's behalf.... Feel and get better soon JO!!!!! I miss you Teig Tay and especially you Mr. Beck!!!!! Thanks for letting me come visit! heres a few pics while I was there......

Aren't you proud!

So for the first time I am leaving my boys (all 3) and going out of town! I know women would kill for a chance to have a weekend getaway no children no worries but I am opposite! I am proud of myself! Gabe said he was feeling sad cause hes always the one going out of town and It felt weired me leaving them..... Well I am excited....I took off this Saturday and Im going to go visit my highschool friend Teigan....and Her new addition to her family Mr. Beckham!! Hes so cute! i can't wait to have some "wittle" baby time. Kade can't say his L's so he says "wittle" instead of little..... I love it! Anyway I hope I don't cry but I'll be fine and I'm excited to go! To be continued!..............

So funny story Teig and taylor were here visiting over Christmas break.... We were about to go to our other friend Monique's house and I and my whole fam took baths got ready.... went down stairs and I could tell Teig wasn't ready at all ..... I was thinking man whats up i know we are fast but not that fast!..... So I knocked Teig was laying on the bed Teary eyed saying she thought she needed to go to the doc.....she thought her something felt like it was going to burst.... So I said U sure you are not Prego??? She wanted to go to the doc but I said I had a really sharp feeling like that made me want to buckle over..... so I sent Gabe for a Prego test ....... as you can see in the pic I was right! It was kinda a funny way to find out but I was glad we didn't spend all day in the ER!!!!

She had to call her mom back and say she didn't go to the doc but she was prego!LOL

I will have better pics of little Beckham when I get home! Welcome Mr. Beckham can't wait to see ya!

Landon's Growing up and out!

Landon always has been my easy simple child! He thought he would surprise me the other day! along with the lovely fits he has been throwing..... He has been breaking through 4 teeth.....ok so I'm off track of my story..... So when he wakes up in the morning he taps on the wall or taps on his crib...never crys....sometimes I wonder how long he sits in his crib quiet and awake before he starts to tap...... so Two days ago Landon slept through the night (which he normally does) thank goodness.... so he was tapping on the wall or crib and so I went in to get him like usual and said "Hey Buddy".... looked down to pick him up and freaked out he was no where in his crib..... I looked over and his little head was bobbing up and down he was on the floor laying on these huge pillows and had a giant smile on his face! I started laughing!!!!! I yelled to Gabe.... he got out of his crib!!!! ahhhhhhh! It hasn't happened again yet! yeah so time warp.... Landon is officially not a baby any more:( His little "gerbas" vocabulary has tripled! It's crazy how they start to parrot words and or sounds! Anyway! I don't do well with loosing my children in the mornings..... but who knows how long he was out!!!! We love you Landon!

Galveston!!!!

You know we always loved Galveston until we went to Florida this year! Why or how can it be the same gulf? But I have to say the 1hr drive is wayway way better than the 9-11hr one to Florida! So a few weeks ago we went to good old Galveston Stewart Beach! It was a fun one! Kelly, Merieth, my Mom, Krissy and her cute kiddos, Addy and My Clan all went to to the beach! Kade candyce and Kassidy all got to surf for the first time thanks to Merideth bringing her long board~ It was soooo cute! They all had a blast! We got a sweet viedo of Kade surfing!

When the day was done and all had fun we stopped to get a icecream cone for the kids! They were so tired they left it all over their faces! I had to get a pic of Addy's before I wipped it off! They passed out in minutes after this pic! We do love you Galveston!

My neighbors think we are white trash!

My neighbors probably think we are so white trash but I love a good day off to end up out side stripped down kids in the water hose! My neighbor kid came over and said "hey... last time you had those girls over they did that too!" It was soooo funny! Kade and Landon Love Kylee and Summer! They all LOVE the hose and Yes they do like to strip down! I love being outside in Houston weather and just playing in the water! So Gabe and I were mowing taking turns(Gabe did Most:) and Landon thought he would take a ride! It was soooo funny! They all cheesed it up for me! I wish they would do it when they had their clothes on!!!! But the WHITE trash way is the best way! I have never seen so many blue eyes! We love the Call girls!

Some of Summer in a Nut Shell

We have had such a crazy summer! The other day a girl from work told me that she was proud of me for taking so many vacations this summer! ahhhhh! I have taken alot more time off than normal but I am loving all the fun vacations and little short weekend trips we have done! Gabe and I on our way home from our 6 year anniversary weekend getaway, decided something is wrong with me .... we have driven more this summer than ever! But I guess life and driving gets better as our kids get older and not screaming the whole way! We have had fun!

Like....

Destin....by far my favorite! If you have never been to Destin you have to go! it is my favorite beach i have ever been to! yes I like it better than Caribbean, Mexico, Bahamas.... everywhere~ The sand is like sugar! the beach is crystal clear blue green! It was amazing !

I need to get a disc from Kelsey anyway of all the amazing ones she took for us there! To Be Continued....... I have a million more but this is just a few I found on the pic files...

On the way there the boys were awesome! We drove through the night!

Gabe was so proud of our sand turtle...





I think this was on of the first days everyone was happy!






Kade found flying and Golfing! They really had so much fun!

Muscles~!!!! Isn't that water crazy!!!!





Funny Story....kade was so excited for the parrots! then Landon as you can see thought he would for his turn smack the poor parrot! the owner guy was so mad at Landon....can't blame him...but it was way funny!the guy grabbed Landons hands! It was sooooo funny!

Kade ate a meat and cheese SANDWICH! I don't know what it is but when Kades with other kids he will eat things he has never eaten before! Its funny!

Then there was Seaworld! Hot! And I got was sick but It was soooo fun! It was 4th of July weekend. It was so busy! The kids had fun! Other than the sick part and really bad luck with rooms at the Red Roof Inn! Blahhhhh! we had a blast! Thank goodness for waterparks in the heat of the day! We didnt have many pics cause we forgot the camera the first day and the second day....well we just forgot to pull it out some:)

Landon went on his first ride! He LOVED it!

Then Garner State Park! The only truly comfortable place to camp in the middle of July in Texas!! You might think we are crazy but it is sooooooo much fun! I had not been able to go in about three or four years so it was so nice and fun to take Kade and Landon to our favorite place to go camping! The river was quite low but that didn't stop us!

Then of course there has been the weekly boat days mondays or tuesdays sometimes both! Our or at least my new love is the wakesurf! Its so fun! Its nice you don't fall hard like wakeboarding(which is still fun) just don't get the aches you get when you go wakeboarding! Landon has gone 3 times and freaks out when mommy wants to go without him~ funny stuff!

I can't believe summer is half way over!
