May

The middle of May we went to my Mom's house for my Papaw's 75th Birthday! It was so much fun to see most of my Mom's side of the family that we never get to see. They live on the lake so the majority of Butch's time was spent fishing. I told them not to take it personally; he simply can't be that close to water without fishing. Beckham caught his first fish, actually three total- with lots of help from Daddy, of course. He actually threw his fish back in the lake, too. I was impressed. I don't even do that! I just don't like the texture of fish and I'm afraid I'll get stuck or cut or something. But, Beckham is fearless and had no problem. It was adorable to see him and Butch bonding like that. We had a great time.

The end of May meant the end of this school year, which also meant my baby nieces are off to highschool next year. It's such a bittersweet feeling. They have been at Herndon (where I attended and now teach) since Kindergarten. I was there the day they were born and seeing them grow up has been so much fun and now I feel old. Ha!

Summer is officially here and although I am writing this June 11th it has been extremely hot since the middle of May. We are seriously enjoying Grami's pool! Nothing crazy has been happening around here. I am taking two graduate classes this summer and they are tough. I remember undergrad summer classes being extremely fast paced, but I also wasn't married with an almost 2 year old at the time so to say that time management is key is a little bit of an understatement! However, I am committed and I know I will get through it. Plus, I saved about $700 by taking two classes instead of just one (I'm not paying double fees- which helps!). 

The very end of May Butch and I went to the Florida Georgia Line and Nelly concert. I bought Butch tickets for an early Father's Day gift. Coincidentally, it was my best friend, Amber's, sister's birthday and she had gotten them tickets as well. We were just one section over from each other. Also, when Butch and I found our seats we were one row above another group of friends...talk about a coincidence! Anyways, we went to Margaritaville and then to the concert that night and had a nice little date night. The music was wonderful and it was a much needed little adult getaway!

I think that pretty much wraps up May! :)

update

Okay, so it's a good thing that I didn't have updating the blog on my list of new year resolutions because that's been a total fail. Sorry! Here's a bit of an update.

Life has been crazy good, crazy busy, and down right CRAZY lately!

Butch changed jobs so he is no longer working in Alaska! YAY!! He is home pretty much every night- with the exception of occasionally working out of town. But, it's nothing like 3 weeks 23 days in Alaska! Still working/thinking about our future house plans but nothing concrete has happened.

Beckham is growing like crazy and talking up a storm. You can pretty much have a full on conversation with him now and he's not even two! Speaking of him turning two shortly I am in full on party planning mode. I love it! I'm super excited and sad at the same because he is growing up so fast. I posted a couple baby pics last thursday for #tbt and it made me so sad. I mean, not sad-sad but I just can't believe how much he has grown and will continue to grow in the future. It's just going too fast. I am having a bit of baby fever. BUT- I am not planning on getting pregnant again until we are in a bigger house! We literally have no room for us right now, I can't imagine bringing another baby into this small house. So, back to Beckham. I had planned to post an 18 month dr visit update but when we went to the doctor Beckham has a runny nose and a little cough so he couldn't get his shots or anything, so I didn't make a post. Then we had it rescheduled for 3 weeks later and he still had the same cough. I am convinced it was all allergies because he seemed to just come and go and he didn't act like he felt bad. Who knows? So here we are he's now 20 months and we still have no had 18 month shots. I called the nurse and she said it's fine to wait until after flu season to come in, so that's what we are doing now. Beckham is still obsessed with being outside all day-everyday which does not help his allergies but I've come to terms with the fact that he is ALL BOY and the weather is just starting to warm up so I'm sure we will be outside a lot in the next few months!

What else is new? Umm...we got a little puppy! She was free we adopted from Craigslist. Her name is Bella, she is bad and Beckham loves her! Shes chihuahua mixed breed, but she really is sweet- just not potty trained yet and that's driving me a bit crazy.

Also, I took Beckham to his first carnival a few weeks ago. The town we live in has a little festival every March and they always have a little carnival. Beckham was only tall enough to ride one ride but he absolutely loved it!

On top of being a full time Mom, Wife and Teacher, I am also a student in the Grad School so that should tell you why I haven't posted as much as I wanted to lately. Again, my apologies but the blog is just having to sit on the back burner for a while. I do, however, have an A (I'm expecting to keep an A) in my class and I have already registered for two this summer. Yes, I am insane!  I'd rather just get it done now rather than later.

So, I guess that's all I really have to say. We've just been having fun around here nothing too wild going on. We are just living life one day at a time!
