So I'm a little late with Halloween picutres, okay, alot. But still, isn't this the most handsome pirate boy ever! Halloween was awesome, Kray loved the trick-or-treating!

Gosh! I love him!!

2011-10-21T20:10:00.013-06:00

I cried today saying goodbye, I cried when I found out they were moving, and I cried just last week watching Kray and Tenley play and dance together.. and right now, I'm crying, just thinking about it. And when I cry, everytime, Tim says "You still have me"... laughing through the tears, I inform him that "its not the same!" And although my husband seriously rocks, my life will be so different without Lacey here.
I know its not permanent, and I'll most likely see her at least once a month, but honestly, its not the same. She is such a huge part of my life.. And as excited as I am for them, I'm just really sad for me. {Big sob story, I know}
I wanted to post some of the things about my BFF that I've came to know and love about her!.. she may be a little upset for a few of these things, but she'll appreciate them later, I just know it! ;)

She knows EVERYTHING about me, and still likes me

She takes care of everyone.. seriously, everyone

The most unselfish person I know

Uhmmm, has a pretty amazing singing voice

Can dance like a mad woman! haha

Gets candybar whirl ice cream in a waffle cone, everytime

We're the only two, ever, who will finish our entire meal and still want ice cream right after

We're both big eaters {thats hot right?}

She tells me, "maybe you should put your hair down" or "the other shirt looked WAY better".. because she loves me :)

We know each others deepest, darkest secrets

Everytime she gets new vinyl for her house, she calls me for my opinion on where to put it

She is very domestic, and encourages me to be as well

Has a strong testimony, and by that, strengthens mine

She has passion in her pants! haha

She's the only girl that could fall off of a curb so gracefully! hahahaha!!

The only person in the entire world, maybe besides Kray, whom I would let sit on my pillow for 5 seconds

Has an amazing zest for life

Some of our most memorable times have been just driving around

She's a little manly :)

Red cream soda and strawberry puffs make us both smile

Has a beautiful baby girl, whom Kray absolutely adores

Is the best Young Women's secretary ever to be had

Isn't afraid to beat people up. haha! I'm always protected

It takes alot for her to cry, but hey, I cry enough for the both of us

She's absolutely BEAutiful

Mostly...she's the bomb.com

We may have been acting out "Jesse James" by Cher.. no big deal!

Love you long time StayPuff! I miss you already!

Pumpkin Patch

2011-10-14T23:29:00.003-06:00

Today Tim and I took Mckray to the pumpkin patch down in Gunnison to pick out his pumpkins. He was way more interested in pulling the wagon than seeing and picking out the pumpkins!! Either way, he's still the cutest boy in the world.. We had a great time together!

2011-10-12T14:30:00.008-06:00

A few days ago, I wandered through my blog. All of the way to the beginning. I remember starting it after I had Mckray, and I used to be a pretty faithful blogger. As I went back through it, there were things that I had forgotten, and who would've thought that within three short years, memories could be pushed to the back of my mind. I am determined to be better. Not necessarily for anyone else's readings, but for my sake.. I don't want to forget.

Little things that make me smile today:

*Mckray. Everything about this boy really, but him sharing his song with me, and allowing me to belt it out and dance with him. {yes, I have to ask him if I can sing his 'moves like Jagger' song}
*A goodbye kiss each morning from my Tim.. no matter how early, late or mad at me he may be.
*Random 'laughing at ourself' moments with Dana.
*My jobs. Even though they are so different I love both of them, I can't seem to let one go.
*Hunting season. Kray and I miss Tim terribly, but its a tradition for me. Hunting is my dad's favorite, so it was always a big thing growing up. We have many guys from everywhere come down every year and spend time with us.. plus I get to spend quality time with my momma!
*Zumba. Gives me a reason to dance like a crazy person and shake my bum, without Tim laughing histerically.
*How excited Mckray gets when he see's and talks to little babies.
*Listening to my handsome boy sing songs on his own, the ones I've sang to him since he was born.
*My best friends. Singing, dancing and laughing... Ahhh, I love them.
*Lunch dates with my most favorite sister ever.
*Awesome parents and inlaws who take care of me, continually.
*Young Womens. Love them, and love the opportunity that I have to teach them and grow with them.
*Fall. I love this warm fall weather that we're having right now.
*My 17 year old brother saying "I love you too" at the end of each conversation.

My life is so blessed. I struggle everyday. But I love it. I love the people in it. I wouldn't trade it for the world.

2011-09-22T14:29:00.003-06:00

The only thing Kray wanted for his birthday was candles. When people would ask him what he was getting for his birthday, he'd respond with "candles"! Two days prior to his birthday, he would ask me, "Mom, should we go to my birthday now?" He was so excited. He had his best friends {cousins} there to play with and the rest of us, well I guess he was glad we were there too. We have a wonderful family that helped make this boy's party awesome!! :)

Proving just how handsome he is! Love his shy smile! :)

Three!!

2011-09-10T09:18:00.002-06:00

Its true.. this little heartbreaker is celebrating his 3rd Birthday today! I can't believe it. Really, I can't. Tim and I discussed the subject this morning and both agree that it feels like he's turned three all within about a month and a half's time. Before we know it, he'll be ten.. and he won't think we're cool anymore!! {which really, how could Tim and I not be cool, right?} Anyway, I am one proud momma.. this boy rocks!! :)

Pre-School

2011-09-08T10:02:00.003-06:00

I just sent my most handsome boy off to pre-school. He was so excited and has been talking about it for days.. I am so proud of him, and the amazing little guy he is!

Showing off his awesome pack-pack!

At school!

Dentist..

2011-05-13T15:21:00.002-06:00

Mckray's first dentist visit went great.. I was really nervous, considering its usually a big fight when we brush his teeth. I told him that the dentist would count his teeth and he was just fine with it.. the dentist let him hold his tools and he thought that was awesome! He was such a good boy, I am one proud momma!

Easter...

2011-05-02T08:00:00.009-06:00

Easter was so much fun for us this year! Friday night we dyed eggs, it was a hit! Saturday morning we trucked out to the park in the snowing/raining weather to hunt eggs. It was freezing. There were so many eggs, Mckray came home with tons of candy! We celebrated with Tim's family on Saturday.. His parents always do an egg hunt for the little boys and one for us too! We had a delicious dinner, hunted eggs and played phase10 for hours! Right before we headed out to dinner, my dear parents surprised Kray with a bunny, a real-live one. He didn't really know what to think about it, he wanted to look at it, but didn't want to touch it! He still won't hold it, but at least now he'll pet it and say, "Mom, I love him"! Sunday morning we woke up to find that the Easter bunny had came to visit, he hid eggs and left Kray a basket filled with candy and a Leapster! I was a little nervous about getting him one but its been awesome, its totally centered around learning and he LOVES it! After church we headed to Grandma's for brunch and did another egg hunt and visited! It was a low-key but very nice Sunday!

2011-01-25T19:25:00.004-07:00

My Grandma's old pink heels. He fought to wear them. His dad was tickled. I had nothing to do with this.Love him. And his shoes.

2011-01-21T15:21:00.003-07:00

This is what my handsome two year old has been up to.. Derby! He found his old walker in the basement and refused to get out of it, so Tim brought it upstairs for him. Before we knew it, he had Tim's 'snow pushing' goggles on and he calls it his derby car! Tim and I laughed for days, this is what Kray does most of his time home. Like father like son.. :)

2011-01-21T15:15:00.002-07:00

Happy New Year! I'm grateful for the opportunity that I had to ring in the new year with this handsome guy! I'm excited to see what 2011 has in store for us! :)

2011-01-21T14:52:00.003-07:00

Christmas was so much fun this year! It was a blast shopping for Mckray, picking out things that I knew he would love. He had a ball, and didn't know what to think with all of his new toys that "Santa" brought him. All morning he kept saying, "Thank you so much Santa for my toys!"

2010-12-26T20:46:00.004-07:00

Monday we went on the Polar Express train ride in Heber. It was storming super bad down here so we were a little hesitant to go, but we went anyway, and I'm so glad that we did. Mckray had been talking about it for weeks- no joke. Everytime we'd ask if he was going to ride the choo-choo train, he said "ride choo-choo train, an hot chocate, see santa.." in the cutest tone ever. So when we finally did it, he was pretty excited.

This is before the train started going.. pulling his silly faces!
Ha ha.. this picture makes me laugh. Tim and I look hilarious,

but it just really shows how Mckray feels about Santa- scared!
Love this picture! And the boy too :)

With his "hot chocate" that he LOVES!
Towards the end of the ride, he's a little tired.

We had a great time, and I'm so grateful that I have these two handsome guys-pretty lucky!

2010-12-16T20:45:00.004-07:00

Our candy house...

{aka Gingerbread house}

...Mckray LOVED it...

And is still, very much, loving it!

Messiest, yummiest, cutest, most-fun house ever built!

2010-12-12T20:42:00.005-07:00

Last weekend we made it to Temple Square and got to visit with some pretty amazing people. It was a wonderful day, despite the rainy, freezing weather!

Also, Mckray met Santa a few weeks ago, this is how it went....
I'm hoping for a second chance with this- sometime again before Christmas!

Lately this boy is obsessed with seeing himself on video or in pictures.. We've been practicing Jingle Bells, I was recording him with my video camera so I thought I'd record a little with my camera to share.. Merry Christmas! :)

2010-11-24T11:30:00.005-07:00

Wow! I can't believe how long it has been since I've done a post.. yes, HUGE slacker! As of now, I'm vowing to be much better, I really do love to blog, I just don't know what my deal is! Since it has been about 9 months since I've posted, I'm not going to go back through and post every little thing.

However.. This beautiful boy turned 2 {yes, I said 2} on the 10th of September. I can't believe how much he has grown and changed, the more I get to know him, the more I fall in love with him. He is so much fun and reminds me so much of Tim.. he even has a squeaky little voice. He is complete boy, nothing less than LOVING tractors, 4-wheelers, derby cars, trucks, dirt, rocks and anything boy.

{Although he does love this baby of Aibree's, Tim loves that :)}

I can't even describe how grateful I am to be his mommy- I swear he is perfect!

{I love this picture.. my sister say's its his "my mom beats me" face!}

I am almost done with school/apprenticing which will be a ginormous relief.. I can't wait to be home with Mckray. {and hopefully have another child, years later ;)} Things have been so busy, but Tim has been amazing with things around the house. I know there are things he thinks "hey, I didn't sign up for this one!" but he tackles everything with a smile and is super supportive! What a lucky lady I am. At times I truly feel like I am undeserving of the blessings I am constantly surrounded by, I am SO grateful.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving! {Oh, and I cannot wait for Black Friday shopping!!}

2010-03-14T19:41:00.004-06:00

We knew this handsome little guy was tired, but we didn't know he was this tired!

We walked in the door and started putting things away and within seconds Kray layed down on the kitchen floor and minutes later he was out! Tim and I were cracking up... he usually fights when we try to get him to sleep, so this was quite the extreme! I must say, he is incredibly sweet when he's sleeping!

2010-03-03T15:55:00.002-07:00

I don't know about you.. but Mckray and I are loving this weather, and have enjoyed playing in the sunshine today!

2010-02-15T17:47:00.005-07:00

A few pictures of my handsome boy!

Kray's newest trick...

Last week Mckray and I went to Nephi to see Ferrin and her new baby.. We met up with Annie and Ashley (all three I went to Snow with). Mckray had a great time playing with Ryker and I loved every second of seeing these amazing girls!

A little plate licking!

2010-01-23T09:11:00.004-07:00

We had cinnamon rolls for breakfast this morning.. after we were finished with our plates we just set them on the end table. Before we know it, our child is litterally licking the plates, getting the rest of the frosting off.. he did it for at least 20 minutes, it was hilarious!

Pictures to prove it:

2009-12-21T22:01:00.004-07:00

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...

2009-11-20T23:29:00.004-07:00

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

2009-11-16T21:02:00.005-07:00

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.

2009-10-26T20:07:00.010-06:00

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! :)

2009-10-04T21:03:00.008-06:00

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!

2009-09-23T20:22:00.003-06:00

I think Mckray loves it!!!!

{naughty little guy!}

2009-09-21T18:16:00.006-06:00

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
All of the guys

Thanks to everyone who made this day so great for my little guy!

Family Vacation

2009-09-12T07:49:00.010-06:00

Last week we went to Steamboat Springs Colorado for a family vacation. We had so much fun! Here are some of the things we did: Shopped, went to the Botanic Gardens, hiked up Fish Creek Falls and took a picnic lunch. Rode the Alpine Slide, went to natural hot springs {saw a snake in them..eeek}, rode the Gondola to the top of the mountain and had an amazing brunch {got stuck up there because of the weather} and we went swimming.. and swimming... and more swimming!!

At the Botanic Gardens... the water was freezing but Mckray loved it!

Our hike up Fish Creek Falls {seriously, gorgeous!}

This chipmunk LOVED our doritos!

The Alpine Slide

On top of the mountain.. looking down

{pictures really don't do it justice, it was really, REALLY high!}

And of course, a few pictures swimming at the condo..

This trip was amazing.. it is gorgeous up there. If you ever have the chance to go, I definately recommend it!

2009-08-30T15:20:00.007-06:00

Mckray will be one in a couple of weeks.. so we just had his pictures taken. I thought that they turned out really good. {considering he was such a stinker} There are TONS of them, so I only posted a few of my favorites. Enjoy!

2009-08-26T10:00:00.005-06:00

Three years ago today.. my best friend made me his forever!

I can't believe its already been three years, (time flies when you're having fun :) We've grown so much since that day, I truly have the most amazing husband in the world! Last night, I told him he was being mean to me, and he looked at me and said, "name one person who is nicer to their wife than me?"... I tried really hard to think of some guy that was more amazing than Tim, (mostly just to prove him wrong) and I couldn't name one, its just not possible. He is so good to me, and makes marriage a blast.. There's just not a day that goes by that he doesn't make me smile or laugh!

I love you Tim.. I look forward to spending the rest of forever with you! Happy 3 year Anniversary!

Rainy Day

2009-08-13T18:10:00.004-06:00

We had a little rain this afternoon, so I opened our door so that we could smell the rain, a few minutes later Kray was pulling up on the door trying to look out. It reminded me of the movies where you see little kids staring out of the window wanting to go and play.

2009-08-05T09:26:00.002-06:00

A little over a month ago, my friend Tonya came up to my house and taught me how to make blankets, bibs, and burp cloths. I finally got them done {clipping all of the edges so that they would frey} so I thought I would post pictures of them. It was a last minute thing, so the material isn't my favorite, but I thought they turned out pretty cute.We had so much fun, she's an amazing sewer and a great teacher! Thanks Tonya!

2009-07-26T18:21:00.012-06:00

Things have been really busy, so this is a pretty long post.. We've been camping, fourwheeling, BBQ-ing, parade-ing, rodeo-ing and of course.. DERBY-ing!!!

The week of the 24th Tims family always camps all week long, its so nice up there. During our camping trip we took a 50 mile fourwheeler ride, and yes we took Mckray with us. He loves riding on the fourwheeler and didn't whine at all during the whole 6 hours we were gone. It was an amazing, beautiful ride. Here are some pictures of our camping/fourwheeling trip...

This is our tree.. we first carved our names in it in 2004 and have been there every year since. except 2006- which is the year we got married and I'm pretty bummed about it.

Proud owner of a 1970 Chrysler 300 {before}

I didn't get any pictures of him in action, I was too busy recording it, but here are the after pictures.. it's not as damaged as Tim would've liked it, but at least he can use it for next year. I think he did a great job!

I love this picture.. after Tim unloaded the car, he had my little brother go and park it, Cassidy was in heaven! Isn't Tim amazing!?

some of my most favorite people in the world at the derby!

It was so cute.. on Saturday Tim had to go put everything away from the derby so I told him that I was going to go to the little cowboy expo at the park with my family {since my grandparents were selling tickets} anyway about 20 minutes later, Tim came up in his "cowboy clothes" {as he refered to them as, since it was rodeo day..} I was a little surprised, but he looked so handsome!

And lastly, we were in the horse parade this year.. my Grandpa built a wagon for his mules to pull and he's usually in the parades, well they told us that the city gives you free rodeo tickets if you ride in the parade, so we decided to take them up on the offer. Mckray was so cute, there was a baby mule walking to the side of him and he loved it, he starred at it the whole time and even got to pet it!

I LOVE where we live.. and I LOVE this time of year!!!

2009-07-14T17:02:00.003-06:00

First of all.. thanks to all of you who voted and left words of wisdom.. we've taken all of that into consideration and here's the final decision....

Today was Mckray's first haircut.. I was really sad to let all of that hair go. Do you know how much heartburn I had to have for that hair? Anyway, I figured that since it was so out of control and uneven, I would cut it and let it grow kinda longer and do it curly- I called Brenda {my beloved hair stylist} and she fit me right in.. I was nervous to see how Kray was going to act so I stopped and bought him a sucker {totally against everything I believe in :) } Once we got there and I popped that sucker in his mouth he was in heaven. He was such a good boy during the whole thing- he didn't fuss at all, he throws more of a fit when I get him dressed than he did with getting his haircut! Needless to say, Brenda did an amazing job {as always}. I loved his handsome curls, but I guess it was time for a haircut. I think that my baby looks adorable!! What do you think?

HELP!

2009-07-08T15:27:00.004-06:00

Ok, so here's the latest Lindsay-Tim debate.. What are we going to do with Mckray's hair? Some of you may already know that my little bug has naturally curly hair, and those of you who didn't.. well, surprise! Anyway, its now to the point where if I try to comb it straight, the tops of it will straighten, but the ends wave and do weird, funky things. So I know you're thinking well just let it do its little curly thing, right? Well we try that, and it looks so cute on him when its wet and gelled and stuff, but if he sleeps on it, rubs it, and kinda messes it up well let me tell you- it goes into this major weird fro, fuzzy thing- and I hate it! So I suggested to Tim that maybe we should just cut it kinda short and it would be so much easier to manage and wouldn't look so out of control.. but being the man he is, Tim thinks it looks just fine when we do it curly and it frizzes and fros- he thinks that Kray is too young for a hair cut! So, I've posted a few pictures of his hair kinda curly, and straight. They're not the best pictures but they'll have to do. I've also set up a poll at the top of my blog for you to vote..

WHAT SHOULD WE DO WITH MCKRAY'S HAIR? Please help me!!

{you can vote, even if you don't have a blog account}

over the weekend..

2009-07-05T21:01:00.007-06:00

we did SO much.. so I thought instead of giving you a detailed narrative, like I usually do.. I'm just going to post a bunch of the pictures that I took during all of our ventures! Hope everyone had a great 4th!

This one is for you Julie!! I love this picture!

Ahhhhhhhhh... the joys in life

2009-06-29T18:58:00.004-06:00

This was the other day, I was down stairs doing laundry, {yes, me, laundry} and I came up to this.. *you'll have to turn my playlist off to hear it

I couldn't stop smiling- I love that I have a husband who has enough kid at heart to play and make my baby boy this happy!

It was also this handsome guy's birthday yesterday.. he just turned 23! He's so amazing, I love him so much! {this picture was taken at the shop, Kray and I got to hang out with him up there on Saturday and work on the derby car.. more pictures to come}

2009-06-22T19:01:00.004-06:00

We had a great weekend! On Friday, I talked Tim into taking the day off and going to seven peaks- just the two of us.. to my surprise (and I'm sure to most of yours) he actually did it! We got a babysitter for Mckray and we spent the entire day together, just us, at seven peaks. It was an incredible day, the weather was beautiful and we just hung out, riding slides, playing in the wave pool and the lazy river, and I even got him to lay out and take in the sunshine! For lunch we packed a cooler to make sandwiches and have a little picnic. Tim had to get a pizza lunchable.. seriously, I think those things are so gross! I swear thats the reason I got him to go.. I had bribe him! :) I enjoyed every minute that day, just being with him, the love of my life! I didn't take my camera in, I didn't want it to get stolen, but this is a picture of us in the car on the way up... soooo excited!

On Father's Day we went fishing with my family. We just drove up to Gooseberry and fished for a couple of hours then made a fire, roasted hot dogs and made s'mores.. We had so much fun even though the wind blew most of the time. I don't have a fishing license so I didn't fish, but everyone else did, altogether they caught 9 fish! Here are some pictures of the day!

I love this amazing man!

2009-06-15T18:43:00.003-06:00

My beautiful little sister Lacee, got married this weekend. It was an incredible day, and everything went perfect. I am SO excited for her!

We also went to the zoo this weekend. It was so much fun, and the weather was really nice for the most part. Kray was such a good boy, and just enjoyed the ride.. He's a little too young to really enjoy the animals, but even Tim and I enjoyed them!

2009-06-09T20:08:00.006-06:00

In honor of Mckray turning 9 months tomorrow-I thought I would post a few recent pictures of him. I can't believe that I've now had my Kray baby here for as long as I carried him. He's now showing us his crazy little personality, I love every bit of it! What a joy he is to us.. Mom and Dad love you little boy!

On his newest discovery... Dad has to help push him though

This is my favorite face he makes!! This is what he does the whole time he says "Mama" :)

Here's an upclose picture showing off his new teeth..

they weren't easy to get here, but they are SO cute!

Swimming

2009-06-06T11:02:00.002-06:00

On Friday I took Mckray swimming for the first time. We went with the girls in my family to my aunts condo in Pleasant Grove and had a "swimming party" followed by pizza and a very intense game of hell! It was a pretty windy day, so we didn't get much swimming in, it got too cold for the babies, but I think they had a really good time. I thought that Mckray would splash around and be him-crazy-self, like he is in the bathtub, but he was really mellow and just sat there and watched all of the kids play.. it was so cute! I really think he enjoyed it, although he wouldn't smile for anything the whole time he was in there.. silly boy! Here are a few pictures of Kray in the pool. {and yes, I have his onesie on so that he didn't get sunburned, Tim thought I was crazy}

We had a lot of fun, I can't wait to take him again!

2009-05-27T08:44:00.003-06:00

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... :)

2009-05-25T20:06:00.006-06:00

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!

Cassidy with my mom and dad

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

2009-05-18T21:01:00.002-06:00

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!!

2009-05-13T21:22:00.006-06:00

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!

2009-05-04T18:19:00.012-06:00

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!

Weekend at the Sand Dunes

2009-04-20T16:43:00.004-06:00

This weekend we took a little family trip out to the Sand Dunes. We had such a good time! We went out Thursday night and stayed until Sunday afternoon. The weather wasn't very nice on Thursday and Friday, but Saturday wasn't too bad.. then of course Sunday was beautiful (the day we have to come home) Kray was sick most of the time for his first little camping trip, I'm sure he was happy to be home! Here are a few pictures of our weekend!

Tim and Kray getting ready to watch Cars for the 3rd time that day! Aren't they SO cute!

Tim cooking our yummy dutch oven potatoes! Since he wouldn't turn around and let me get a picture of his face, I figured I'd post a picture of his butt on here... I'll bet he turns around next time! : )

Kray in his new helmet to go for a ride on the four-wheeler.. Don't let him fool you, he was screaming seconds before this picture!

Sunday we rode out to the dunes and let Mckray play on the sand, he didn't really know what to think of it.. he was so cute! After playing in it for a few minutes, he was SO ready for a nap! (he was sick.. hence the red, puffy eyes and snotty nose)

Ty and Kray in the sand!

...and the cutest little piggies EVER in the sand!

2009-04-15T21:02:00.005-06:00

I was finally able to record Mckray giggling- sort of... I was on the computer and Tim was in our bedroom playing with Kray, he was seriously laughing from his little belly.. SO CUTE! So I of course run for my camera to record it and by the time I got there, he wasn't quite as "into" it anymore, but I still got a little bit of it! I hope you enjoy this sweet little screaming giggle as much as we do!! :)

Happy Easter from the Beesley's!!

2009-04-12T21:20:00.004-06:00

What an awesome day!! We started it off by showing Kray what the 'Easter Bunny' had brought him. He had also hid some eggs around our house, so Tim and Kray went on a little hunt for them. It was so cute!
Here's a picture of his little basket, I thought it was way cute, but I didn't have time to take a picture before Tim started emptying it!

About noon we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa Beesley's. They put together an egg hunt for all of us.. it was so much fun!! Here's pictures of Kray and Ty getting their eggs!

Mckray and Ty playing with their findings!

and the little bunny that Grandma and Grandpa Beesley gave him..Yes, this piece of candy still has the foil wrapper on it!

Later, we went to Fairview to have dinner with my family.. it was so much fun, almost everyone was there! Here's Kray with his new little hat that Grandma and Grandpa Kogianes gave him.. SO CUTE!

and Kray with his mama and Grandmas (5 generations times 2)!!

We had such a wonderful day! I'm so grateful to have such an amazing family to share these special occassions with!

Easter Eggs!

2009-04-07T18:36:00.008-06:00

This year we just bought the plain-jane egg dying kit, since we can never get the really cool ones to work. Usually we write on them with crayons, and decorate them up, but for the life of me I couldn't find a crayon in the house. We still had a great time- even if they are very plain!

Kray just chillin' watching us.. Next year he'll be able to play too!

Tim and I with the eggs- such a dark picture..

My handsome hubby with his cute eggs!

more of our eggs..

(notice the green dye is only half full- yeah, spilled that all over me!)

TAGGED

2009-04-06T17:44:00.005-06:00

Thanks to my sister-in-law, Cathie!!

Here are the rules: List 10 honest things about yourself--and make it interesting--even if you have to dig deep. Then pass this tag onto 7 other bloggers.

1. I hate clutter! Since Tim is quite the "pack-rat" this is almost a daily issue for us.. I have designated one closet in the house for him, and so instead of throwing his things away (yes, I have done that) I just put it in "his" closet, and he can clean it.. Although, the cleaning hasn't happened yet. :)

2. I love to drive.. especially when I'm frustrated. There's just something about turning the radio up and driving that makes life feel a little easier.

3. I talk in my sleep, and it can get pretty embarrassing.. So here's an interesting story- when Tim and I were dating, I went camping with his family for the first time, I was sleeping on a bunk bed (you know how small those are in trailers, right?) Anyway, I woke up in the middle of the night screaming, freaking out and yelling, "GET ME OUT OF HERE.. I CAN'T BREATHE!" I had woke everyone in the trailer up and I was VERY embarrassed! Tim is constantly telling me that I was talking to him in the middle of the night- and he wonders why I'm so tired.

4. I hit a herd of sheep! Ok, this is so not funny!!! So stop laughing!! It was when I was living in Mountainville with a couple of my girlfriends, I was on my way to work.. looking in my rear view mirror as I went around a corner and before I knew it, I was PLOWING through a herd of sheep! I killed four of them, they were everywhere!! It was pretty traumatic for me!

5. Like most others.. I HATE LAUNDRY! I can keep up on my house work pretty well, keeping things clean, but for the life of me I can't keep up with the laundry! Tim and I have finally set a goal that if I can just put one load into the wash per day, it won't be too bad. Well we made that goal about two weeks ago, and haven't yet started!

6. I absolutely love being with my family! I love being with Tim and Mckray, doing anything spending time with them. But Tim is a busy guy and isn't home a whole lot so I visit my mom's house often! I could probably go over everyday (I'm sure she'd get sick of me) and just visit with them.. my grandparents and extended family too!!

7. I am a sweet-tooth FREAK! I could probably go all day long without an ounce of protein or a serving of vegetables or fruit and just eat cake, cookies or anything with sugar in it!! It's TERRIBLE!

8. I'm not a morning person.. AT ALL! I swear every morning I wake up I feel like I want to hurt someone just because I have to get out of bed. But give me about a half an hour and I'm ok! Its not very pretty at our house when Tim is still home in the morning when I wake up.. He's just so noisy and thinks its so fun to annoy me. Most mornings I wake up to him poking me.. ugh!!!

9. I love being a mom!! Seriously, everyone needs to try it! Its the most amazing thing ever.. I can't even explain how incredible it is.. just take my word for it and try it!!!

10. I love to decorate! If I only had the money to do everything that I wanted... My house could be pretty amazing!!

This isn't as easy as it looks!! So now I tag: Kali, Annalee, Cheryl, Elise, Stephanie, Julie & Lisa.. Have fun girlies!!!

I'll consider myself lucky..

2009-04-02T14:36:00.003-06:00

.... if I still have a husband by the end of the week!

For those of you who think that Tim is NOT patient...

I am a MESS!! Seriously I think having kids makes you loose your mind! I only have one child.. I only work 16 hours a week and you would think that I could get things right, right? Well today I find out that I just paid almost $700 extra on our house payment for this month. I signed up for automatic bill pay (where they take it directly out of your account.. ) today Tim looked at his bank account and was a little curious as to why we're giving the mortgage company an extra $660. Come to find out.. his brilliant wife typed in $660 in the extra principle amount box, therefore, its not the mortgage company's fault.. its mine!!! Seriously, what the??? Luckily they can send us a refund on it (thats probably the only reason I'm still alive!) Then the only payment I don't have on automatic bill pay, my cell phone.. yep forgot to pay that one! Don't worry though, I caught it in time so you can still call me :) Yeah.. I've lost it!

So you're probably thinking that forgetting to pay the bills or paying hundreds extra isn't so bad, right? Well, I, being so brilliant decide that I need to get Tim GOOD for April Fools day.. all of the ladies at work have good ones for their husbands, faking pregnancies etc. So I had a major brainstorm session and decided that taking his derby car out of our backyard would be SUPER AWESOME! If any of you know Tim, you know that his derby cars are his most prized possessions, somedays I think he would probably pick them over his wife (today being one of them).. anyway, so I call my dad and talk him into towing the car to someone elses house for the day, well Colter thought it would be even funnier to take it to Sterlings house. So they did! Then I posted the car on KSL to pretend like someone had stollen it and was trying to sell it. (Tim checks KSL for derby cars probably three times a day) Sorry, this is getting really long- to make a long story short.. Sterling called Tim, Tim called me.. then Sterling hid Tims derby car from the both of us, and now we don't have a derby car in the back yard.. and its not April Fools day anymore! Tim hasn't told me just how frustrated he is with me... yet. But I'm sure if I continue this behavior, he's gonna do something about it!! ha ha :) What an amazing patient man! Sorry for this week babe.. I'll make it up to you!!

2009-03-29T20:59:00.004-06:00

Saturday morning Tim and I took Kray up to get his 6 month pictures done at Kiddie Kandids.. He was such a good boy and smiled so big for all of his pictures!

My handsome baby boy...

Ha! Ok, I know Tim and I look a little akward in this picture, but Mckray's face is priceless!

toe fettish!

2009-03-22T12:53:00.002-06:00

Mckray's newest discovery: TOES!! Not only does he love playing with them every chance he gets, but he also loves to suck on them! Its quite an adventure trying to change a diaper these days- everytime I take his pants and socks off, those little piggies go right into his mouth, and he is determined that he is NOT going to let go!

Tagged

2009-03-14T12:40:00.004-06:00

So Aubrey tagged me to list 10 of my favorite things that start with the letter "T" (its not as easy as you think!)

2. Tulips
3. Testimony
4. Taco Time
5. Trees
6. Thanksgiving
7. Telephone
8. Tomato sandwiches
9. Tylenol
10. Television

Ok, so now I tag: Kali with the letter "J", Tonya with the letter "D", Shae with the letter "N" and Chanda with the letter "F". Good luck girls!!!

2009-03-10T14:47:00.002-06:00

My baby is six months old today! I can't believe it! I am so blessed to be the mother of such a wonderful, bright spirited baby boy. He is my joy! I love you so much Mckray.. Happy 6-monthday!

Rascal Flatts!! (late post)

2009-03-02T18:14:00.004-07:00

Remember those Rascal Flatt tickets I won on KBull93? Well that concert was last Thursday.. I ended up taking Tim with me- my sister was a little upset, she begged Tim to let her go instead and even offered to buy his ticket (which was free for him) but he refused.. I was a little surprised that he was so excited to go, usually at concerts he doesn't enjoy them much, and just sits in his little seat.. but I'm so glad he went!! We were actually pretty close, you know when you can see them better by looking at the stage rather than those big screens, thats how close we were.. We ended up having a blast together- and Tim was hilarious!!

Jessica Simpson opened and I was a little disappointed, I think Tim was too-- She forgot her lyrics and just wasn't very good! Tim said that in person, "she's built like a line-backer" :)

Rascal Flatts totally made up for her.. they were AMAZING!!! We were SO impressed with them, they put on such an awesome show! And Joe Don (guitarist) is so dang hot, I swear he pointed his guitar at me- Tim would beg to differ!

Oh and yes, he is comparable to Keith Urban :)

My hubby and me! Ooooh I love him!

While we were waiting for the concert to start they play all different kinds of music- well Tim is a little bored and a little anxious for it to start.. so he was singing- I actually ended up recording it, for just a second though.. And yes, Tim will kill me if he see's that I post this, but I seriously can't help it.. he is so funny!

Laundry

2009-02-22T21:12:00.003-07:00

Tonight Tim and I were folding clothes and we had Kray on a blanket next to us, he was fussing, so Tim (loves to tease him) put one of his socks on Kray's head. Mckray thought it was so funny- he kept twisting and turning his head, then he'd start giggling it was hilarious!

Seriously.. never a dull moment at our house!

More PEAS Please...

2009-02-18T20:24:00.009-07:00

Last night we were feeding Kray peas.. I just thought he was so dang funny! Everytime I would feed him a bite, he would hurry and shove his thumb in his mouth and make an "mmmmm" sound, then he'd pull his thumb out as soon as I would put the spoon by his mouth. He is so much fun- I'm constantly entertained!

Ha! He was such a mess!!

2009-02-16T19:18:00.002-07:00

So I know I've been the worst blogger ever lately- things have just been so crazy! We're trying to finish our basement, so we've been doing as much as we can down there in our spare time. Tim started playing city league basketball 3-on-3.. and I've been playing the city league volleyball, its fun but takes a lot of our nights. I've also been working more lately, they've asked me to fill in a lot at the hospital, so instead of having my nights and days off- I haven't had a day off in a long time.. so you can just imagine what my house looks like! Also, Kray has been teething, so when he's not sleeping (which doesn't happen much lately) he's whining and crying and just wants you to WALK him around.. So things have been a little stressed at our house, and I've wanted to pull my hair out a few times.. but we're getting through it! :)

Ok, now Valentines day- SUPER fun!! We decided to go to Moab, just because neither of us had been there before and Tim had a free night stay at a hotel down there. We woke up about 6 am on Saturday morning (not by choice- remember Kray isn't sleeping!) First thing Tim said to me was, "Honey, I think the Easter bunny came to you".. Yeah, talk about confusion when you're super sleep deprived and trying to come to- I don't know where he comes up with these things. Anyway, I looked on the table and he had 6 beautiful pink roses, and a bag- so I opened the bag and there's a super-sweet hot pink Nikon digital camera(another reason haven't been able to blog- camera broke!) I love, love, LOVE it! It was so cute- he picked it all by himself and everything! After being so excited, we made a yummy breakfast and got ready, then headed to Moab. It was pretty stormy up until we got out of Manti and then it wasn't too bad. When we got into Moab it was 47 degrees and blue skies- SO NICE! We went and saw the hole in the rock.. a house that a couple had made out of a rock mountain- it was so cool, Tim loved it. The whole time he kept saying "Wow, this is so crazy!" Then we went to the Arches National Park. It is so beautiful there- I can't believe that rock actually forms in those ways, we didn't get to do much walking around or hiking because we had Mckray, but it was still so much fun. Later that night, we went out and had an awesome dinner, and went back to our hotel and watched movies and hung out together.. We had such a good time and it was much needed. I absolutely loved just having the three of us spend time together.. We've both decided that we need to go back there when its a little warmer and when Kray is a little bigger. Sorry to yak your ears off- but here are some pictures of our weekend!

On our way down..

These are at Hole in the rock

And here are some pictures at Arches

This picture (above) is my favorite- Kray was crying the whole time then I was following him and Tim back to the car and he just started grinning! What a silly baby!

This is MY Valentine..

2009-02-09T15:34:00.005-07:00

With Valentines day coming up, I just thought I would let everyone know how much I love this man.. (handsome huh?)Tim is incredible.. "Why?" you ask, well let me explain:

First of all, he loves me, and we all know that isn't always easy. He is always so patient and so, so good to me. When I'm mad he makes me smile, he helps me to turn bad situations to good and always keeps things positive. He never lets me go one second questioning his love.. He kisses me every morning before leaving for work, even if he's late. He never hangs up the phone without telling me that he loves me.. and every single day he works his hardest to provide for Mckray and I.. and let me tell you, he does a dang good job! I cannot think of one thing that we've had to go without, even if it meant him working additional hours at work or taking on extra tilling/plowing jobs and pushing snow. Then making sure that he spends enough time with us to keep me happy! :) I LOVE HIM! Tim loves unconditionally! I cannot think of one person or thing that he wouldn't give his all for, he is so selfless and never puts himself first. Not just for his family but for everyone around him. He is such a wonderful example, he strives to do his very best on everything that he does, day in and day out. He has the most incredible spirit about him that brings so much light into our home, and most importantly into my life. He keeps me going everyday! Not only is he a wonderful husband, but he's such an amazing father as well. He takes such good care of Mckray, and is determined to be the best daddy he can be. He doesn't want to miss a moment- he's always so involved in whats going on with him and does such a great job at making Kray giggle all of the time. I couldn't have picked a better father for Mckray!

No, I'm not bragging- we have our issues as most couples do, and there are times that I take all of these qualities for granted, but I can't even begin to explain the love that I have for him. Together we have built a happy home, and made one adorable baby boy. I am so blessed to be married to this man.. I love him more and more every day, I just can't imagine sharing my life with anyone else!

I love you babe.. Happy Valentines Day!

New pics and new food

2009-01-24T19:55:00.005-07:00

Yesterday was Mckray's 4-month doctor appointment.. He weighed in at 14.2 lbs and 25 inches long. (geeezz) Anyway, while we were there, the doctor told me that its time to start introducing him to baby foods and cereals.. I was a little surprised, I didn't know they started that early, but totally excited for him to try new things! So today, Mckray and I made a dash to provo to get a high chair for him, and also get some naked pictures of him taken before he gets too big. (I love the baby naked pics!)

Here are the pictures of my baby boy in the nude! And proof that he really does smile! :)

Here are a couple of pictures of him eating the cereal for the first time tonight. He was litterally screaming when we set him in the chair and once we put the spoonful in his mouth he stopped. I don't think that he minded his new food at all!

Oooh, he's so cute! I just love him!

Believe it or not..

2009-01-21T18:56:00.005-07:00

...this little monster is ROLLING!

I'm a little disappointed that I missed his first roll from his back to his tummy.. I was in Fairview last night, and I left Tim home to watch Kray. Well when I got home and we were bathing him Tim was saying how funny it was that he kept rolling from his back to his tummy, then from his tummy to his back. I said, "WHAT?? He rolled while I was gone? You do realize that is the first time he's rolled over don't you??" Tim smiled and said, "Oh, I thought he had rolled already".. Anyway, I did miss the first one, but he did roll plenty today while I was home with him. I can't believe how fast he's growing and doing all of these new things. It makes me so sad to see it go so fast, but I also feel so blessed that he's healthy enough to do all of these things, learn and grow. Being a mom is just the most incredible role that anyone could ever play in this lifetime. Honestly, I cannot describe the love I have for this sweet spirited, beautiful baby boy.

His newest discovery (besides the rolling) is spitting. Yep, I did say spitting! Tim taught him and he is SO proud. I'm still trying to catch him in the action- and get a picture, but for some reason he's a little camera shy.. I really don't know where he got that from. Hopefully I'll have a picture of him to post soon.

Here's just a little video of him smiling- last night, we were getting ready for bed, I had just laid him in his bed and was reading.. it was really quiet and for about 10 minutes he sat there and cooed (spelling?) it was so cute. Tim and I sat there and giggled quietly so he couldn't hear or see us.. Finally I got my phone and he saw me, so he stopped cooing but did sit there and smile at me for a minute, so I thought I'd post that anyway..

Sorry its so blurry, I took it with my phone.. hope you can still see it. :)

2009-01-15T20:41:00.008-07:00

Its been a while since I've posted any pictures of Kray on here.. he's just so much fun, he is constantly laughing and smiling, although I can't get a picture of him doing either for the life of me, but I'll keep trying!-- He's ALWAYS entertaining Tim and I.

I can't imagine life without him!

Here's a video of him playing in his little saucer we got him for Christmas-I think it entertains Tim and I more than him, but he's learning to love it.

Hockey Game- Go Grizzlies!!!

2009-01-11T20:45:00.006-07:00

Saturday a bunch of friends from high school all met at the Olive Garden to have lunch/dinner- it was so fun to see everyone that I haven't seen forever.. Although I only got to stay long enough to be sat at our table then I had to leave. Tim came and picked me up and we went up to the E Center to watch a hockey game- we had such a blast! My mom, dad, Cass, Lacee and Colter all came with us.. it was so funny, the whole time Cassidy just kept saying "fight, fight, come on, just FIGHT" he was wanting to watch them fight rather than watch them play hockey. There was one fight aside from them just slamming eachother into the sides of the hockey rink, they actually took off their helmets and started punching each other, it was pretty entertaining! The few pictures that I have I had to take with my phone, I didn't have my camera with me--

This is Grizzbee!

I couldn't get Tim to smile in a picture for the life of me.. so this is as good as it gets!
And yes, the Grizzlies won, 6 to 4.. What an awesome game!!

WoooHOOOOO!!

2009-01-05T15:57:00.004-07:00

I just have to share the MOST EXCITING news of the day.. So it started just like any ordinary day, wake up, go to work.. you know, the fun stuff. Well I pulled up KBull 93 on my computer at work, for a little music entertainment, shortly thereafter they had the famous "play that Rascal Flatts song backwards" followed by a, "call 4, 5, or 670-9393 for Rascal Flatts concert tickets".. so I dialed the number- busy.. so I tried again- busy.. Well the third time's a charm!! Thats right everyone-- I won Rascal Flatts concert tickets by naming that song backwards, it was so sweet and I am SUPER, SUPER excited! I just love them! So come February 26th, guess what I'll be doing- thats right..

RASCAL FLATTS BABY!!!

HaPpY NeW YeAr

2009-01-01T10:08:00.005-07:00

To bring in the new year, we all got together at Cory and Lacey's, it was awesome! We played rock band, mad gab, catch phrase and ate and ate and ATE! We had such a blast- especially when the girls KILLED the boys in mad gab- Way to go team! Lacey and I went to Wal-mart earlier that day and bought some new year's eve attire! (see below)

My little Mckray- He'll probably hate me for this one day! Although, I think he looks adorable!

Poor Tim, you can see how much he loves his hat that I picked out for him! :)

LOVE these two!
Our SwEEt headwear!

Happy New Year everyone! Hope your 2009 is everything you want it to be!! :)

Sledding!

2008-12-28T19:02:00.003-07:00

We all met at Grandma and Grandpa's house and we spent the day yesterday and today sledding! It was a blast- my Grandpa got on his tractor and piled snow where it was needed to fix our tubing track, I think he had just as much fun as we did! We had tons of tubes and a pretty sweet track, although it sucked climbing up the hill to slide down, it was totally worth it! After our legs were numb from climbing the hill, we tied 3 tubes to the back of the four-wheeler and Mike pulled us around in the fields, it was ROUGH! I don't think anyone walked away without a battle scar- but it was awesome!! I couldn't post any pictures of the four-wheeler pull because it was too brutal and there was no way I could stop holding on to take a picture.. and because my camera died. Here are some of us while we're tubing though! You can just see in this one, Tim is so wanting to send Cass down the hill- poor kid!

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa, we had a blast!

The Greatest gift of all

2008-12-26T19:55:00.007-07:00

We had a great Christmas at the Beesley home this year. On Christmas eve, we came home to a few gifts from neighbors and friends sitting on our porch (thanks everyone).. anyway, there was one gift that stood out from the rest: I don't know if you can see the tag, but it says, to the Beesley family, "The Greatest Gift of all", and *open very last*. Well if any of you know me, you know that I LOVE Christmas and I can't stand the anticipation of waiting to open gifts- its terrible! Anyway, so I talked Tim into letting me open it anyway and this is what was inside:

It said, From: Jesus Christ, The greatest gift of all, "Eternal Life".. When I opened this, Tim and I just looked at eachother- it was really hard to find words. I had been so excited just to open gifts, I had overlooked what is most important. I can honestly say, that was "the greatest gift of all" so whoever left that on our door step, thank you so much!!

Here are a few pictures of Kray on Christmas...

What a weekend!!

2008-12-22T19:40:00.005-07:00

So this weekend was super busy. We actually had 3 parties this weekend, and attended all of them! Friday night was Tylyn's 1st Birthday party- can I just say he got everything and then some! It was so fun to see him with all of those toys and eating his cute little backhoe cake that his creative mom made for him. He is just such a sweet little boy, I can't believe he's one already!

Saturday before my family Christmas party we stopped in at the Mt. Pleasant city drawing.. I was totally hoping for some super cool prize, but instead Tim won a 6 month subscription to the pyramid and a DVD about Highway 89- so if any of you need a great gift for your Dad or Grandpa just give me a call, I can hook you up with a very informative DVD that they may just love! Anyway, after the drawing we headed over to Fairview for a Marsh Christmas party-- this is always a blast. We always play the gift game where you take one out of the middle and you can take someone else's gift if you want it.. So I ended up with a crock pot (I have 2 already) and Tim ended up with the set of Maglite flashlights that we took to the party. The gift game was fun, but my favorite part was seeing my family- We had all 5 generations there! I just love them all so much!

Great-Great Grandma Marsh, Great-Grandma Connie, Grandma Lori, Mom (me) & Mckray

Lacee & Aibree are in the one below.

Me, my Mom and Lace- LOVE these two!!

And me with my boys!! I LOVE, LOVE them!

Sunday night, we had the Beesley Christmas party. It was so much fun, we had such a yummy dinner, cooked by everyone.. then we played the little gift game, which I then ended up with a remote control car-not just any car, this one can climb the walls.. it is SO COOL!!

Tim got Yatzee (spelling?)- which now I can probably talk him into playing a game with me- yay! We had such an awesome weekend- we are so blessed to have such wonderful families to share this season with!

KRAY UPDATE: He now giggles like crazy when you tickle him- I LOVE IT! :)

Also, things are going to be so busy the next couple of days, so I just wanted to wish you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Love you all!

Happy 3-Monthday Kray!!

2008-12-10T12:16:00.005-07:00

Today Mckray is 3 months old! I can't believe how fast time flies..

He brings so much happiness into our lives- Can't imagine our lives without him! We love you SO much Kray-bug!!

Mckray's Blessing

2008-12-08T14:45:00.006-07:00

Yesterday was Mckray's blessing, it was perfect! He was blessed by his daddy, with his grandpa and uncles standing in. It was such a wonderful blessing- I am so grateful that Tim holds the priesthood and was able to bless our son. Close friends and family also helped make this such a special day for our family. What a blessing to have such wonderful people in our lives.

Here's a picture of Mckray in his blessing outfit-

-he is just so much fun!!

Tis the Season..

2008-11-30T10:08:00.007-07:00

Well with Thanksgiving here and gone, the holiday season has arrived. We've had such a busy but fun weekend. It started on Thursday- Thanksgiving.. First we went to Tim's aunts house, then went to my Grandma's later that afternoon for another feast :) All of my family was there, it was so fun to see everyone, especially my cousins new little (but very chubby) baby boy.. he's just 3 weeks older than Mckray! Here's a picture of Mckray and Bryson laying on the floor, they can't play with eachother yet, but give them a year and they'll be out of control! :)

After we were all done eating, the men watched the football game, while the girls looked thru the ads for "BLACK FRIDAY" Its a tradition for all of us girls to go shopping the day after Thanksgiving for all of the awesome deals!

So with our shopping lists at hand, we woke up at about 3:00 am Friday morning and headed for Provo. Sears was our first stop, followed by Kmart, JC Penny, a bunch of little stores in the mall, Target, Shopko, Babies R us and Roxy/Quiksilver.. In between all of this, we went and ate at IHOP- I LOVE their pancakes. So here's a picture of everyone at breakfast- I had to take the picture with my phone since I had left my camera at home.

Well after a 12 hour day of shopping we were all SO tired and ready to go home..

Saturday Tim and I woke up, he made me breakfast (he's just so dang sweet) then we got all bundled up to go and cut down our Christmas tree! We met Lacee and Colter and my mom and dad in Fairview and drove to the place where we could get our trees. After hiking the side of the mountain we finally found one, and I LOVE it! Afterwards, Tim went trap shooting while Mckray and I stayed at my moms and helped her put up her Christmas decorations. When Tim was done shooting he picked us up, we went home and got ready for the Mt. Pleasant lighting. Mt. Pleasant did a new thing this year, they had closed Main Street, and all of the businesses did little games, Santa was there, a choir and hot chocolate.. So we bundled up once again and headed for Main Street. Here is a picture of Mckray all bundled, he was so snuggly!!!

When we got home from the lighting, we put our tree up, and decorated it- It was so much fun.. the whole time Mckray just sat there and looked at the lights, his eyes were so big!

Happy Thanksgiving!

2008-11-26T11:42:00.003-07:00

Just wanted to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving.. and tell you how grateful I am for each of you and your friendship. I feel so blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful family and friends who are so good to me. Especially my wonderful husband who would do anything for Mckray and I. I am so grateful for my Heavenly Father and the blessings he has been gracious enough to give to me and my family. I hope that you all have a safe and happy Thanksgiving! :)

Family pictures and one AMAZING husband!

2008-11-19T15:24:00.006-07:00

A couple of weeks ago, we had our family pictures taken with Tims family. Well we finally got them back yesterday, so last night was a reconstruction night at the Beesley home! I had everything pulled off of the walls so we could rearrange and put our new family pictures up, plus I added a few new decorations. If any of you know Tim.. he hates change, especially when I'm changing things in the house every few months (I can't help it! :), needless to say he was NOT very excited when I told him our plans for the evening! But he just took a deep breath and headed for his tools!

So here are some of our family pictures..

And here are the pictures of our evening of measuring, hammering and hanging!

My poor husband- You can see how much fun he's having with me directing orders.. He's such a trooper! Love you babe!!

I know I'm cheesing it, but I'm so excited to have everything all hung up!

This is half of the mess that we were dealing with.. I'm surprised nothing got stepped on.

Opposed from his daddy, Mckray is having a good time- STILL sucking that thumb!

And here is the finished product- just the two walls in the living room that we added to.

Thanks babe, for all of your help- You're the BEST!!

The backpack... or is it a frontpack??

2008-11-16T19:19:00.001-07:00

Last night Tim and I were trying to cook dinner and Mckray would not stop fussing- He just wanted to be held, and its a little hard to cook with a 14 pound baby in your arms... So out of nowhere Tim gets all excited and says I have an idea, so he runs into Kray's room and brings out this backpack-frontpack thing that I got from my shower, and does this evil laugh thing, like "I'm so brilliant!" Anyway, he puts Mckray in it, and instantly this boy is happy! And of course, Tim is so proud of himself, because "dad made him stop crying" (anyone else's husband do this?)

It was so cute though, they were just hanging out, helping me in the kitchen- so I had to take a couple of pictures!

This shows you how much Kray enjoyed it-- Enough to fall asleep in it! : )

Sleep...YAHOO!!

2008-11-15T09:44:00.005-07:00

Last night Mckray slept through the night for the first time! YAY!! He slept from 10:30 until about 8:00 this morning! And I finally got to sleep through the night.. Man it feels good! What a good baby! Love you Kray-bug! <3

Aibree Dawn

She is BEAUTIFUL! I can't believe how tiny she is.. After holding my 14 pound bundle of joy, she feels like nothing!

This is just right after she was born.. (I'm pretty sure my sister is going to kill me for posting this picture!)

These were taken today when I went and visited them in the hospital.. Aibree's face isn't as swollen as it was yesterday.. Yes, this is a newborn diaper.. She is seriously so small!!

So Mckray was a horse for his first halloween. It was such a busy day for us.. first thing that morning I took him down to Peterson Studios to get his picture taken in his costume since they do a Halloween special for little kids. Once Tim got home from work, we hurried and got him dressed up again and went Trick-or-Treating to family members. First we went to Aunt Shirleys, then Grandma Beesley's, then my parents, lastly we went to Tim's parents. It was so fun to take him out to see everyone and everyone was so excited to see him in his little costume. Here are some pictures of Mckray at the places we went...

Grandma Beesley's

This is at Tim's mom and dads-

Mckray screaming and Ty just hanging out.. He's such a cute penguin!

My beautiful sister holding Mckray at my mom's- anticipating her own baby girl!

Grandma Connie and Kray-bug

Uncle Toby- he has so much fun being an uncle!

This one is my favorite- Can you tell we had a long, busy day?

He found his thumb!

2008-10-28T20:39:00.005-06:00

Tonight we went for a walk since the weather was SO nice- we walked up to my sister-in-laws, and on the way home Mckray started fussing and a few seconds later he stopped, so I look down at him and he is totally sucking his thumb! A few minutes later he switched thumbs and continued sucking! I thought it was adorable so I whipped out my phone to take a picture and this is the best one that I got.. I know its bad habit that I definately don't want him to have, but he just looked so darn cute!!

It's amazing how much we love him!

17. What do you admire most about him? His ability to make friends with anyone- anywhere we go, he strikes up a conversation with just anybody. I love how friendly he is. I also love his determination-Once he gets an idea in his head he doesn't stop until he's accomplished it. He is such a hard worker, taking on multiple jobs after his full time job to provide for us. He's so amazing, I love him so much!

18. What is his favorite past time? He loves to hunt, but I think he enjoys working on his derby cars most of all.

19. What is his favorite kind of music? I don't know what his favorite is, he likes most- but lately it some oldies stuff, his new favorite song is Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler.. You should hear him sing it! :)

20. Do you think he will read this? Probably not- I don't think he'd know how to get here..

I Tag Shae & Aubrey!

The Hunts are Here..

... the elk hunt started last weekend, so for the past week (2 weekends) Tim has been hunting with my dad and his friends. Since he leaves at about 6:30 in the morning and returns after dark, I haven't seen him much lately. This weekend Kray and I went over to my moms, and hung out there all weekend.. We had lots of fun visiting and just hanging out. And we even played my favorite board game.. CLUE! (I know, but its so fun!) Anyway, these are some pictures of them when they got home on Saturday afternoon.

Tim is trying to sleep if his annoying wife would just quit trying to take pictures of him! My dad sleeping in the recliner, you can't hear it, but he was snoring so loud- it was pretty entertaining! Kray thinks that he needs a nap with his dad!

Ok, so last night I had to run to Terrels to get a couple of things- I had just fed Mckray and told Tim that he needed to be burped and his diaper changed while I was gone. Well when I got home, Tim was rocking him in the chair and I looked over and this is how Tim had put his clothes back on after changing him.. He had put his pants on then snapped the onesie on the outside of them.. :) I was laughing so hard! Tim just smiled and said "oops"! He is so cute!

A Day Out..

Well this weekend was Tim's brothers birthday (Tod). So his family decided to have a birthday dinner for him on Saturday evening, up Fairview Canyon- It was a nice out for us, since we've spent most of our time in the house with the baby. This was Mckray's first trip on the mountain, and we had a really good time. It was so beautiful up there with all of the leaves changing, there are so many colors.. so I made Tim pull over so I could take pictures!

This was so cool.. We were sitting outside, just visiting and all of a sudden the wind started blowing so hard, it made the leaves fly like crazy. It seriously looked like it was raining leaves, I tried to get a picture of it, so if you can't see the leaves flying around, they really were. Its not just a picture of the gray sky!
This one has a rainbow in it..

NEWBORN PICS!

2008-09-29T20:58:00.005-06:00

Last Monday we took Mckray up to Kiddie Kandids to get his newborn pictures- We met Cathie and Ty up there so he could get his 9 month pictures done, and get a "cousins" picture of them together. I was so surprised at how awake Mckray was for these, he was so alert and so good- he's definately not like his mother (who closes her eyes in every picture)!

Isn't he sweet?!

Cousins!
This is my adorable nephew- Ty! 9 months old

FIRST BATH

This is our first time bathing Mckray at home.. Tim and I had a great time, but he just screamed the whole time. It was so cute!

Mckray in his aligator towel.. Doesn't he look adorable!

FINALLY!! The newest Beesley boy was sent to our family on September 10th at 4:13 pm. He weighed 8 pounds 5 ounces and was 20.5 inches long. It was such a long, hard day- but SO worth it when we finally got to hold him! It truly was the best day of my life! This is officially our first family photo, I know- I look incredible..Proud daddy!

Here are a few random pictures that we've taken

I swear he's smiling in this one! : )
