Cutest pumpkins in the patch...

Happy Halloween. It is crazy that it has came and gone. but it was pretty fun here around our house.

Snow, leaves, and baby boys ...

Who knew that playing in leaves can be so fun, Rylie quickly found out this year how fun they are to jump in. We have a ton of leaves if anyone needs to spend some time raking! This is the life!
There was just enough snow to play in, in didn't matter to Rylie that is was cold, she loved it.
I am so glad she enjoys the cold winters like me.

Baby boy cousins, three Beckstead Baby Boys only 6 weeks apart, Bode is the Middle man!

How cute are these kids?

Pumpkin Walk

We enjoyed a fun afternoon at the Pumpkin Walk, Rylie was quite into this year which was fun. There are some cute displays and then there are others that I don't get. Could just be me! Bode spend the day in the stroller, all bundled up to keep warm. I took a ton of photos of Rylie!

more pictures...

Can I tell you how fast time is flying by. Bode is almost a month old and we are all adjusting really well. He is a pretty happy baby that likes to cuddle. He goes from zero to eat in an instant, nothing in between. Rylie is a big help (most of the time)... she thinks he needs a binki all the time, crying or not. Here are a few photos of the kiddos! Bode and Taylor, his cousin that is about 2 1/2 weeks older. There is another cousin 2 1/2 weeks younger too! Watch out world, there is going to be three Beckstead boy cousins!

My big girl and last day of summer!

Yes, my baby is growing up so fast! I guess that is a good thing since we will soon have a new addition to our family. She is all potty trained and doing great!

I didn't want her to ever out grow her crib. She never did try to climb out and slept really well in it. In fact, one day she told me she wanted a new bed and I was like, oh why? Because I can't get out of my crib. Oh!! But, I finally gave in and now she is sleeping like a champ in her big girl bed. She is pretty proud of it.

what a cheese!

Her big girl chattering.... *When I a mom, I am going to drink Diet Coke!

*When I a Dad, I am going to drink Mountain Dew!

*When I am a mom, then you (Mike) will be Grandma!

I sure hope she loves this new baby as much as her babies, they are pretty spoiled.

She is even wearing earrings (hair bows) and so is her dad. Good thing he is always willing to play dress up with her.

Last day of summer, I have to admit I have mixed emotions. I sure have had a great summer and am sad to think it is over. But on the other hand our new addition is almost here!! I posed on the beach, so everyone can see the belly. Everything is still going well!

I just realized where Rylie gets her Cheesy grins from!

HOT DOG ROAST...

Usually we camp several times a year, but not this year. We have not been once, so we decided to head up to my parents for a hot dog roast instead. It was a perfect night of dogs and smores! Mom, Dad, Erica, Jaiden, Camry, Kade joined in the fun.

Mom and Dad at the fire!

I know a flattering picture of me, but I am 8.5 months pregnant and don't really have a lap for Rylie anymore.

My dad showing off or something.
