I finally had a minute to sit down and post something, since there's been so much since my last post, I'm just posting a few random pictures, mostly of the cutest boy ever!

sledding this last weekend My aunt just got back from Peru and brought all of us back these hats.. Everyone in my family got one.. this is Mckray and Bryson

Tim and I made sugar cookies...

...and Kray zonked out in the recliner

I cannot vacume or do the dishes without help anymore.. its interesting!

LOVES to wear Dads hats... all of them!

His face whenever he see's Christmas lights with an "oooooh".. really its so cute!

Seriously, cannot wait for Christmas! I love this time of year, and I love having a sweet little family to spend it with!

Halloween Picture...

Here's the picture of my little dinosaur at Peterson Studios. We couldn't get him to smile {which doesn't really surprise me.. it was Dave taking the picture} anyway, I think its adorable as ever! Enjoy! :)

Update

I know... you're so surprised to see an update from me. Can I just tell you that life is CRAZY! I haven't even put pictures up of Mckray in his Halloween costume yet.

The latest and the GREATEST for the Beesley's... Mckray is WALKING, and RUNNING. He has been for about a week now, but I haven't had the time to blog it. It is so funny, he went from walking back and forth from Tim and I to running behind Tim, chasing him. It is a blast! I know everyone says they are so much harder when they walk, but its been pretty easy for us so far. Its actually kinda nice! I swear this kid is getting more adorable everyday.

We've had some struggles the last month, you know those times when you think nothing else could go wrong.. then like 10 more things happen? Yeah, its like that. I think we've actually been humbled by all of it, its amazing how life seems so hard one day and then you realize that you couldn't be more blessed! We are SO blessed.

I took a grocery smarts class last Saturday, I am so determined to get a box of cereal for 25 cents {yes, it really happens} and can't wait to build up our food storage. I'll post pictures when I go. I am stoked!!

Some fun things that Mckray is doing:
~waves bye
~blows kisses {attempts}
~grabs every cell phone or remote in sight and takes off with them
~loves playing in his car that he got for his Birthday
~makes a vrooom car sound when he plays with his cars
~ has a new "cheesers" face
~says cracker, mom, dad, bye, grandma, wow, yep, mmmm, caca {sp?} and mimicks every word that you say to him
~loves reading books
~takes every pen away from me and acts like he's writing on the paper
~his favorite thing to do is pretend like he's driving my car... {only when its in the garage, don't worry}
~plays peek-a-boo with everything, he'll hide around the corner and try to scare you
~loves riding his daddy {the new horse}

This child, really, is the most amazing thing in this world! His personality is so sweet and so much fun..we love him beyond words!

I took him down to Peterson Studios on Halloween to get his pic, so I will post it tomorrow when I pick it up.. so I will have at least posted a pic of him on Halloween.

Since I haven't updated my blog for a long time, I thought I would share a few things that have been happening at the Beesley residence!

Tim is FINALLY done hunting. Yes, this hunt took over our lives for about a week, and now life is almost back to normal. He hunted day and night, and never brought anything home (except hurt pride from shooting about 10 times and never hitting anything!) Needless to say, I'm excited that its over, and I have my husband back for a little while. We're excited for winter (ok, not the snow part) but excited for life to slow down a little, and spend some time together. Mckray is finally almost walking... keyword, almost. He'll walk back and forth to us and take tons of steps, but he just won't walk around on his own. Hopefully soon, we think he'll be much happier when he can walk around with us. He now has 8 teeth.. crazy huh! He is seriously full of attitude and pure craziness (inherited from his father) and knows what he wants, but we have so much fun with him!

Tonight for family night we carved pumpkins and made brownies! Tim was in charge of picking up the pumpkins and he did a great job. We didn't use any special patterns or anything, we just kinda made up our own. We had so much fun, and Mckray ingested more pumpkin seeds than anyone ever should in a lifetime! Here are some pictures of our night, Mckray and Tim eating the brownie batter and our pumpkin carving!

He loved the pumpkins, he kept going crazy hitting them and crawling all around them, it was so funny!

eating a seed... :/

CARVING TIP: To get all of the 'guts' and seeds out of your pumpkins use an old jar lid, the seal part, not the ring. It works wonders! Also, don't draw on your pumpkin with a Sharpie marker and expect to be able to wipe it off! :)

Yesterday my mom, Lacee and I went to conference. Tim said that I couldn't talk him into going because it was the opening weekend of the elk hunt.. so I told him I'd take someone else, and I did. We left early in the morning.. went to the 10 am session. It was amazing. The spirit is so overwhelming.. and I know conference is awesome on tv, but watching it live was just such a spiritual experience for me. Afterwards we went and ate at our favorite Spaghetti Factory, then shopped and shopped.. it was a total girls day, and it was awesome!!!

Inside the conference center...

... and outside

I loved this. This lady was holding a sign that said "I LOVE MORMONS" I thought it was awesome considering most of the time all of the signs that you see outside have some weird comment about the church on them.

SO many people!

love this picture.. yep, they're showing their 'true-selves'

We had an amazing day, I couldn't have asked for more!

Candy Corn!

I think Mckray loves it!!!!

{naughty little guy!}

We spent this past weekend in Sand Hollow.. with our friends and without Mckray. It is the first time both of us have left him over night {and we did for 2 nights!} Besides the fact that we missed our baby like crazy, we had an absolute blast! We went with the most amazing people, and we just played all weekend! It was gorgeous down there, the sand dunes, rocks and even the little lake... it was all amazing!!!

This is Karter {Kipp and Mal's handsome guy} he is seriously a doll, he was such a good boy all weekend long!

My hubby on the dunes
