Mckray's first ride in the backhoe...

Now there's something you must understand, to the Beesley family the first ride in the backhoe is a milestone.. sort of like rolling over for the first time, or waving bye-bye for the first time.. this is very important! THIS is Tim's glory moment... :)

First of all... My little brother Cassidy graduated from 8th grade {middle school} on Thursday. We are so very proud of him, he's turning into a fine young man!

Since Mckray is now getting a tooth, we bought him a toothbrush to keep it nice and clean.. he loves looking at it and chewing on it more than he likes me brushing his little tooth!
Kray sporting his new toothbrush!

Friday night Lacey and I had big plans for us to go up to the "cabin lot" have a fire, make dutch oven and have s'mores. Of course it rained, so we altered our plans, and made dutch oven in our garage and afterwards watched 7 pounds- so sad!

Tim and Cory, bonding & cooking in the garage!

Tonya and Robyn stopped by and ate with us.. we got to visit with them for a while too!
I think Kray really liked Robyn

ha ha.. this picture is the best, I know it doesn't look like much, but it was pretty entertaining watching Tim and Cory trying to figure out how to work the new TV, and scratching their heads every few minutes! Lacey and I were cracking up!

Thanks for the fun Friday!! We love you guys!

The worlds best husband brought these home to me on Saturday, after he had finished moving cows.. When I came home he had them sitting on the table in a vase, and informed me that "he picked them himself".. Aren't they so pretty?

Ha I bet you didn't know what you were getting yourself into when you started reading this post did you? Almost done, I swear!

Sunday we walked out to the cemetary {hoping that it wouldn't rain on us in our ventures} the weather wasn't the best, but it was so neat! We met all of Tim's family out there and placed our flowers, it was even a learning experience too!!

These are Tim's grandparents- I never met his Grandpa, but his

Grandma passed away 10 days before our wedding!

Grandpa Beesley just passed away about nine months ago, 10 days before Mckray was born.. Interesting story, I went into labor the night we were saying our 'good-byes' we went to the hospital, they said they were keeping us, later that night Grandpa passed, and Mckray stopped coming.. I guess Grandpa just wanted to spend time with Mckray before he would let come him down to us!
This is my favorite! As we were leaving the cemetary the wind started blowing so hard and all of the flags were flying the same way.. it looked incredible!!! There's just something about Memorial Day that I love!

Ok, and last.. Mckray fell asleep in the car, I went to get him out of his seat and this is how he was sleeping. I thought it was just too cute to not take a picture!

Kray & Saige

Kray and I spent the afternoon together doing yard work.. when Tim got home we let Saige out front to play with us and she just couldn't get enough of Kray. She was so funny, she would walk over to Tim then run over to Kray and start licking his head and face. He didn't really know what to think of her and he kept sticking his fingers in her mouth {gross I know} Tim swears that one day they're going to be the best of friends!!

I feel like I haven't blogged forever! We've had a few events, that I've been wanting to blog about, but just haven't really had time lately.. so just to warn you, this may be a long post...

First of all, our basement is finished!! {well mostly, except a few things in the bathroom.. and decorating} Here are before and after pictures:

Next.. Kray has started crawling!! {well scooting/crawling} It's not the full-out, crazy, out of control-ness, but he's definately getting there. It has been so much fun for us to see him grow, and start doing new things! Love him!

For Mother's Day Tim and Mckray got me this awesome picture.. I've been wanting it for a long time, and now I've finally got it.. I think its going on my red wall in my living room. I can't wait to hang it up!

Also, Tuesday we had my little sisters bridal shower. It was so much fun.. we had quite a few people there and she got some amazing stuff! I'm so excited for her, she's so amazing!

Just a quick post to keep you up-to-date with our little, but busy, family of three..

Mckray: Is recovering from a couple of weeks of pure sickness.. starting with a parainfluenza virus, ending in pneumonia. We spent a weekend in the ER, and about 3 days in the hospital, but with an antibiotic and some oxygen, he's back to his craziest little self! Still isn't crawling, but is on his hands and knees rocking back and forth.. I've been worried that he hasn't made his move yet, but everyone assures me that he's just fine and he'll do it when he's ready, so we'll see. Over the last two days has turned from a mommy's boy to a daddy's boy, and I'm not very happy about it, but his daddy loves it! He is growing like crazy.. I swear he looks so big all of a sudden. He ate 13 ounces in about 3 hours today... seriously, what the ???? and yes, he is still sucking his thumb!

Tim: Hasn't had a shop night for a couple of weeks, and is starting that back up. For those of you who don't know what shop night is, Tim has dedicated one night a week to go up to the shop to work on his derby car, not just any night, Monday night (yes instead of family night, its shop night) he and his friends go up and solve the worlds problems while putting together this car. We've been so busy, he hasn't really had much time to go up there (he thinks) so he has just informed me that he's "going to be spending alot more time up there, and I may not like it" (yes, those are his words). Still playing on the farm with his brothers, its a lot of work at times, but he loves it! He's keeping busy with his wife instructing him what he needs to help her with in the house, particularly the basement (which is SO close to being done.. I'll post pics later) we just have a few odd and end jobs left, so I have a tendency to nag until its done.. (its a terrible habit) but he's keeping up pretty well. He's doing a great job at being a father, husband, farmer, phone guy and derby car driver (thats what he labels himself as) all while he's trying to recover from a sinus infection!

Lindsay: Can't wait until the weather is actually warm enough to plant flowers and play in the yard with Tim and Kray. I've had a darn cold for about a week now, and its making me crazy... seriously, how do I get rid of it? I have been cooped up inside for way too long, between the hospital and having to keep Kray in the house, I'm getting a little stir crazy! I'm planning Lacee's bridal shower, and getting ready for Mother's Day and my dad's birthday (all within the same week) I'm feeling a little overwhelmed, but I'm sure we'll survive. I've made the cutest little letters that spell out MCKRAY for his bedroom wall, they turned out so cute. Also brainstorming decoration ideas for our basement, so if you have anything that is super cute, let me know! Trying to keep the house clean and sanitized to keep Kray from getting any sicker. Still just working 16 hours a week at the hospital and loving it!! Its such a blessing to be so close to home, and not having to be away from Mckray much... motherhood is keeping me plenty busy, but I wouldn't trade it for a thing!!!

Seriously, so handsome!
