I don't usually like to think about Christmas this time of year, but this summer has been a scorcher. Pretty much we have had 90+ weather with 100% humidity! Besides it being OVERLY hot, this summer we were OVERLY busy (hence why we haven't blogged since MAY!) Our summer start off with 3 trips to Lincoln, for Brenton's graduation, bachelor/ bachelorhette parties, and a wedding! It was nice to be back in the "Good Life" for a while and see friends but it made June fly by very quickly! We also, went to St. Louis for a conference that Brian had to attend, so Beckett and I got to stay with Anna, Drew and Alaire! We had a blast hanging out despite the trip to Urgent Care for Beckett!!
As for July not much of a break, we headed to Culbertson for the 4th of July and then to South Sioux and Rapid City, SD at the end of the month for a wedding! We had a big 1st for our family, as Brian and I left Beckett behind at "Mema and Papa's" and went on to Rapid City. Beckett did wonderful, until we came home and he realized we had been gone!! When we got back from the wedding Aunt Jenny and Uncle Derek came to visit for a few days! We loved having family around to share our town with! On top of all of the traveling I took two classes this summer and Brian did his usual maintenance work for the school district!
Beckett has grown and changed so much over the summer! He never stops talking regardless if we can understand what he is saying, he is on a mission and we will eventually figure out what he wants or is doing! We have tried potty training off and on now for a month or so but no luck being consistence! Beckett's favorite things to say is "I need it...." and "Who dat?"(perhaps a Saints fan!) Beckett last doc visit he was in the 90-95th % for his height and weight, finally catching up with his head, thankfully! =) He is such a smart boy and we have been so amazed watching him grow and learn new things every day! We have enter the terrible twos about 5 months too early!! He is very independent and knows exactly what he wants and when. Time out has been our savior!!
Once again we have another busy school year coming up and its only a week in!. Brian will be coaching JV & Varsity Girls basketball at the high school, as well as track. I am a para in the severe Special Ed room at the Elementary school with a wide variety of students but loving every minute of it! I am also taking online classes to obtain my degree in Elementary Ed/ Special Ed. After 200+ credits and lots of denial, I realized I was meant to be a teacher and have a soft heart for the SpEd rooms! I am very excited to finally be on the track to be done with school!
Well I believe that is all.. very short and sweet to sum up our summer! We have lots of pictures to post! Hope everyone who is reading this had a fantastic summer! We love and miss you all!
