Disney On Ice...

What a fun adventure for us to go to DISNEY ON ICE. Rylie was pretty apprehensive about it, but ended up loving it. On the way in she kept telling my mom that she didn't want to get her boots wet. I was like well okay don't step in water and didn't think about it again. Until she kept repeating it, she thought she would get to walk on the ice and it might get her boots wet. Well she figured out the show and loved it. Thanks for going with us, Mom!

Bode loved the flickering lights and was stunned by it. He was such a good boy.

Families are Forever!

And so is mine. My family was SEALED together in the Logan Temple this past month. It was such an awesome day and my kids were angels. It was a perfect day! It was great to have our families there with us. We sure have a lot of LOVE and support from them.

Thanks for taking the pictures, lisa!

oh how they grow...

Just some random shots from the last few months. Even though I couldn't blog the pictures, it didn't stop me from taking them. This is our cool princess who loves to dress up. The handsome boy

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!

Just want to say how much I love these KIDS! Happy Valentines Day!!

Happy Birthday Rylie!

On January 23rd, I know aways back our RYLIE turned THREE years old. We had a grand sleigh riding party up at my parents house. My family was able to come and help celebrate the day with her. She got pretty spoiled rotten! These pictures are so not in any order, but I am not taking the time to play with it either. So enjoy the pictures though!

Grandpa and Grandma Smith

The Birthday Girl! Mike and Rylie ready for the take off!

Opening presents, very spoiled...

We fly down the hill on sleds on and then take turns driving the truck and bringing everyone back up. Rylie and Bode had great naps in the warm truck...

Even little Bode (4 months) joined the party...

only a few of the SMITH COUSINS

The cupcakes were even sledders....

Happy Birthday Rylie, we love you so much!

what's going on....

So much has been going on that I have been a slacker keeping up with the blog. I am now a STAY AT HOME MOM full time and loving it. I have only been home a weekish and it is great. We have a lot of projects to accomplish, we will see if we find the time. I am SO THANKFUL for the opportunity to stay home while my kids are so little, it could not have worked out better. I gave my two weeks at work and had to train a new person to take my position and have an outside company audit me. It was such a crazy few weeks and I so excited about being home. I will miss my dear friends at work that have always been there for me! Thank you guys!

Rylie turned THREE years old. I will have to post pictures when I figure out my old computer. (I had a nice laptop at work that they made me give back).... We had a sleigh riding party with my family. It turned out to be a great day and everyone came to celebrate Rylie's birthday. She got pretty spoiled with Birthday toys!!

Bode is growing like a weed! Seriously, I cannot believe fast he is growing and changing. He figured out he can get further by rolling and as soon as you lay him down, he is out of here. No more letting him chill on my bed. He is a terrible napper and okay at night. He gives me 20 minute cat naps here and there and that is about it. We are still working on a schedule.

The end!

never too late for Christmas...

What a wonderful Christmas that has came and gone! I know I am a bit slow posting Christmas, but it was unbelievable. We had the best few weeks during the holidays. Santa showed up and spoiled our kids rotten. He does a pretty good job here at the Becksteads! I got butterflies on Christmas Eve, I was so excited. I love the spirit of Christmas and wish I could have it all time. We enjoyed our time with Family! Ate a ton, too much!! Went on a hay ride, sledding and played games, that is what the holidays are about. Rylie told "the santa" at the mall that she wanted a Barbie, easy enough. Then a few days before Christmas she said that Santa was going to bring her TWO barbies. I had a little chat and told her not to be disappointed because she told Santa a Barbie, not two. Well on Christmas Eve Santa showed up at Mike's Grandma, she didn't miss the oppurtunity to let him know she meant TWO barbies! Good thing Santa was prepared!

BODE!

Smith grandkids before another PARTY!

Sleigh Riding at my parents house, it is the perfect HILL for sledding!

Daddy and his two babies, Rylie wanted to be rocked like a baby, so we just added Bode to the scene! What a great papa!
