How bout NO diapers for Christmas?

What a day for you my little Beck man! First time going in the potty. WOOOO hoo. You were so proud of yourself...as was I. We called dad at work and left him a message of accomplishment. "I did it! Yay! New Thomas!" I don't remember a previous "you go pee, you get a new Thomas the train" conversation between us...but BY GOLLY, you can have that Thomas. Nice job. This could be the beginning of the end?. I'm hoping anyways.

Cold Turkey anyone?

This year our Thanksgiving feast took place at the Carter's home. It was most excellent as always to see family and eat delicious food. My favorite is always candied yams and Dave loved his mom's new stuffing recipe. Luckily we had an afternoon feast because the power went out just as we were all dishing up and it was off for almost 2 hours. One of their neighbors came by to see if our power was off as well and said that he was going to fire up the grill and have to finish the turkey there. We all had a laugh but mostly because our food was done.

And...then of course to make the day complete, we needed to see the Bateman/Trujillo side as well. So, we ventured down to my Grandma's and had 3rds on the food and more dessert. yikes. What's bad is that I think I ate even more today with all the left overs than I did yesterday.

I didn't take as many pics but the party was alive and kickin. Roma had a thanksgiving poop-splosion which sounds not so good but with a once a week record, we are now semi-warped and grateful for these things!
*Finally got home and in bed around 1 in the morn. We probably should've just waited in lines with all you crazies and gone straight to shopping.?

Is that you dad?

Hey did you guys know that Dave, my sweet husband was a singer/songwriter with a few recorded CD's? For most of you, this is not new info. and I'm not trying to toot his horn too much But lil' Beckham here just realized that his dad's music and voice can come out of our CD player and our computer. He's heard Dave sing and play plenty of times and even heard his CD's since...well I guess the womb. . But being so little hasn't really understood until recently. It was so cute! I had one of Dave's CD's in Beckham's room next to his other favorite music and would play it for him every so often. This time, while it was playing Beckham kept coming up to me and saying "dad?" while pointing at the player. I explained to him that "ya, that's dad singing and can you hear his guitar?" He was glued to that thing. He sat in front of the player for 2 or 3 songs just staring at it. I thought it was too dang cute.


Now here's my plug?...If you didn't know that Dave Carter could be found on itunes...then get on that....check it out. He also has 3 other CDs under the band name Royce. These CDS are with the ever so talented Adam Record and also have some real favorites.!
I also found some old recordings on Youtube that were making me laugh right out loud. Just cause... for instance, in the video posted Dave has his "record length hair growth" which is not so long and well, he just makes me smile every time I see him sing!! He is the one that is too dang cute! Love you babes...you're a Rockstar!

Can you say "old school"? haha I pulled these bad boys out of big brothers baby stuff.


1st time in the saucer. I know this will be a favorite.

Sick of being sick!

What a weekend. Poor lil Beck has been sick for the last 5 days. It started 4am Saturday morn with a thrown up happy meal that wasn't so happy anymore. From then on Beckham would throw up just about every hour. It was heartbreaking for Dave and I to see him so sad. He would cry "Mom, Dad, no more, no way." We felt so helpless. He couldn't keep anything down so late Saturday night Dave took him to the emergency room. They gave him some suppositories to help with the nausea and said to keep trying the liquids. I was surprised and relieved that they didn't keep him the night.
He finally started making progress and getting some sleep on Monday.. as did the rest of us. Thank heavens!

I knew he really felt crummy when he didn't want to go outside. I had to talk him into going on a walk yesterday. The weather was just too good.

The poor little guy has had it ROUGH.
After a missed day of work for Dave, plenty of clorox, loads of wash, and movies galore....He FINALLY feels better. Hooray.

So, this morning in celebration, we colored some Thanksgiving pictures...and ran around like Indians. (Too bad Roma was asleep or we would've dressed her up too.)
