fall 2012

Beckham started "school" this year. he was so excited to go to school with big brother, until he realized mommy wasn't staying. let's just say it took about 2 months for him to get the hang of that. but, he LOVES his teachers and his friends and has SO much fun at school. 

1st day of school pics

we also took our annual trip to the state fair with pops. the boys had SO much fun riding rides, acting like farmers, eating corn dogs, playing games, riding the merry go round. boy - that can wipe you out though! we all slept good that afternoon. we loved spending the day with aunt missy, cade, and tay as well!

 flower mound has a great pumpkin patch that we love to visit every fall. we spent the day checking out pumpkins, going through hay mazes, riding a hay ride, eating snow cones, and playing in the many bounce houses.

 we also had fun at a pumpkin patch close to mimi & pops with the whole grimes' side of the family. i just think this pumpkin patch is so cute because it has cute antique lights at night. they also have lots of fun kid activities and a corn maze that court and rhett went thru. the hay ride is always fun because you get to stop and feed the donkeys and the cows and the boys just love that the cows lick them with their giant tongues!

stay tuned for more blog catching up!!! :)

summer is over!

i have been terrible at updating our blog! life is just busy - and full of fun! we've had a great summer. the boys both took swimming lessons at the beginning of the summer. let's just say the 1st week with beckham was not so much fun - but by the second week he loved it!! we just needed a few milkshakes to help get us motivated!! we also enjoyed 4 days at the beach with the lockett family! what a fun time we had! the kiddos got along great and loved building sand castles, flying kites,  and jumping over the waves (i think that was court's favorite part). we sure had fun spending time with this sweet family. on the way home from the beach, we spent a day at the NASA space museum and the boys loved it!
the boys also both took a class at winkids gym this summer. court took a sportsters class where he got to play soccer, football, and baseball - it was right up his alley! beckham took a gymnastics class where he got to jump, roll, run, swing, and just have fun! the boys were both sad this week when their summer class ended! we also enjoyed many pool days, movies, swimming at the CAC, playing with friends, swimming @ mimi & pops, and hitting up birthday parties! whew - summer went by fast! we are looking forward to starting school (2 days a week) after a trip to see nanny and grandad next week.

WAY overdue blog update

wow! it's been 2 months since i've posted on the blog! that is a record i think! but, summer is already in full swing so i thought i should recap our spring! get ready for picture overload!

the grimes clan & mimi/pops came over for a play day and pizza night! fun!

the week before Easter, we went to nash farms and the boys had a BLAST!

of course, on any ACTUAL holiday, my boys know that means someone needs to be sick - it was beckham's turn - hand, foot, and mouth disease (mouth only though) so we had to stay home and decided to play in the mud in our jammies of course!

girls weekend 2012 with all the girls, cousins, aunts! fun in clifton!

we've been to chuck e cheese a time or two!

girl time with aunt missy, tay, and mimi

court took part in a preschool nature school on fridays this spring - and let's just say it was RIGHT UP HIS ALLEY! he loved learning about insects, trees, nature, going on hikes, etc

digging stuff out of the lake - the only kid that wanted to touch the net to dump it in the bucket! way to go court!
