LIFE IS GOOD!

Well I hope you are all doing well. This past weekend was a killer for me, or should I just say my thighs. We have worked so hard in the yard all summer(I like to include myself in all that hard work because I had to work hard at being patient.) Finally the day has come. We layed our sod on Friday and Sat. What a beautiful sight to be seen. And Briggs is in doggie heaven now. The girls went and spent some time at Sarah's house, then they wondered up to Nana's. We missed them but got so much done with them on vacation. Brooky has a birthday wednesday. I think it is to hard to get together during the week. We are planning a B-day cook out on Saturday evening if you could all make it. Please just let me know. Thank you so much Sarah for offering to take my kids and help out. It was also our 9th anniversary, so we were able to go on a hot date to some steakhouse... after 9 years, he still doesn't know that I detest steak. So I had a beer instead. Hope thats ok. HA HA!! Well love you all and I look so forward to opening up our blog. keep them coming. See you soon!!!

The Beckstead Family

Hello
Just wanted to update everyone on what is going on in our family. I just got news that Shelby and Jake are moving to Bonners Ferry, Idaho. They will be leaving in 2 weeks. They are really excited about it. Jake is the most excited because he loves the outdoors and there is more room to roam there. Shelby is excited because she has a lot of friends there.

Yesterday, Sesha and I went and got our hair cut. Shesha held really still and they did a great job. Then she laughed at me getting mine cut. It was fun. Then after that we went and watched Kung Fu Panda. That was a cute show... And guess what! Madagascar 2 is coming out this Winter. We are excited about that.

Well, I would post more but Sesha is getting demanding and she wants to play.

I will post more later.

So normally on a Friday I would be so excited it is Friday.. but today it makes me a little sad. I have LOVED being home with Dylan all week! He is so much fun!! He has started to really talk. I guess that is what he is doing I'm glad he has moved on from his squealing (if that is even how you spell it???) days and now just rambles. His squeals really hurt our ears! Just so all of you know I am feeling great my surgery went real well and now life will be much better!! I hope! I go back to the dr. on Monday so we will see what he has to say!

We have been enjoying life of laziness. Dylan and I have taken many long naps together on the couch.. I think my pain med. must make him sleepy too!! We LOVE watching Phelps clean house in the swimming too!! He is a freak of nature we think..

Last night I talked Mom in to doing some coupon shopping with me in logan.. while we were there we ran into Sarah, Nick, Maddy, and Brookie!! It was so nice to see them all! I do miss them! Good luck hunting Nick! Bring home a BIG one!

We can't wait to see you all at the family camp out!! We will soon find out how fun camping is with a baby.. good thing he is a good boy! We love you all, the Shumways!
