Beck's 1st Birthday

Goodbye 2012

2013 is in full swing--I still feel like I am finishing up everything from last year but I'll catch up when I do. We had so much  fun last year, it brought us so many fun changes.

Beckham joined us early on in and just celebrated his 1st birthday. It has been a total joy to watch him grow and become the cutest lil chubby guy I know. He weighs as much as his big brother but can keep up with him just as good too. He is super happy, except for when he's tired and hungry--Which sometimes makes up most of his day. He absolutely LOVES his big brother and even teases him already, he is always laughing at the things Tate does, and never gripes when Tate is being a tough big bro:) He LOVES toys, Tate has never been a total toy guy but Beck will sit and play with toys all day if you let him. He will come running when he hears the bath start. If you  tell him you're going to change his diaper he will immediately go and lay down on the rug, and sometimes even grab a diaper if he can see one:) At the start of dinner he has been folding his arms (to say the blessing). He does it all on his own, it doesn't always last long but it's hilarious. He points at everything, and holds up his finger to say he is one. He says momma, dadda, and Tate. As soon as he realizes I am cooking dinner, or have food he will immediately run to sit in his booster seat...I HAVE NEVER SEEN A 1 YEAR OLD RUN SO FAST, it cracks me up everytime. He is quite the dancer, and even gets the beat down..He will run to you screaming/crying if he hears a loud noise..By loud I mean someone starting their motorcycle down the street or a plane...(pathetic.haha) <--this 10x="" 4="" a="" absolutely="" all="" also="" amp="" and="" any="" baths.="" before="" blessed.="" blows="" boys..i="" brush.="" brush="" but="" bye="" carseat="" cheeeese="" clap.="" cracks="" crawling="" crazy="" cry="" currently="" doors="" down="" e="" eats="" empty="" energy="" every="" everything="" everytime.="" feel="" food="" for="" full="" go="" good="" hair="" has="" hates="" he="" heaters="" hi="" him.="" him="" his="" hot="" i="" if="" in="" into="" is="" job="" just="" kisses="" leaning="" learned="" life="" likes="" love="" loves="" me="" months="" more="" morning="" my="" nbsp="" never="" now="" ocd.="" of="" off..he="" office="" old="" open="" or="" ot="" out="" oven="" over="" p="" pantry.="" pictures="" pieces.="" probably="" quietly="" room="" s="" says="" seriously="" side="" sleep.="" slightest.="" slowed="" socks="" sometimes="" soo="" stores.="" take="" tate.="" teeth="" tell="" than="" the="" this="" to="" two="" up="" us="" very="" wake="" walls="" was="" washcloth--maybe="" waves="" we="" when="" which="" will="" wiping="" with="" you="">

Then there is Tate..He turned two in 2012, and the terrible two's hit us hard, but I still love him more everyday. He is an amazing big brother when he wants to be and is always asking,"You okay Beck?!". He is so dang smart--sometimes too smart for his own good. His hair is WHITE, not blonde--and his skin is really white too. He LOVES Ipads, any phones, and netflix--this is why he could care less about toys. He is OBSESSED with James and the Giant Peach, yes the 1996 Claymation movie. He also likes the Nightmare before Christmas or "The Monster Movie", as he likes to call it. He LOVES to be outside. He has nicknames for all of his grandparents, MeMe and Bompa, Grandma & Grandpa Orange, and Grandma & Grandpa JellyBean. He knows so many different songs and sings them randomly, I love it. He drives a Pepsi blue power wheels Ford F-150. He would still drink a "baby bottle" 24/7 if I let him. He always stole Beck's so now they both get sippy cups. He doesn't really like food. He does love donuts, especially vanilla frosted ones. He  loves to go to Uncle Jared's house, and see his Gmas & Gpas. He always wants to hold onto the cart at the store--or so he says--what he really means is he wants to run away from me and drive me crazy:) He is a night owl. He only takes naps if he falls asleep doing something else. He LOVES cheese. He likes to build things and he is quite the climber..He is finally kind of getting out of the "always on the counter" stage. He loves to go places..He has to get candy from coin machines, whenever he sees them. He is very helpful and always wants to help clean. He has a "2" shirt that he LOVES--He wants to wear it everyday, we had to "lose it" for awhile. He LOVES the park--I don't take him enough, definitely something I want to do more of this year. He also LOVES to see the dogs, and the bears at San Tan Mall--The puppy store and Build a Bear. He made a Build a Bear for Beck before Beck was born and he wouldn't let the thing go, I don't know what stopped that but he carried it around everywhere for awhile, it never was Beck's after all. He loves to have his hair done, and brush his teeth. He hates getting in the bath--and hates getting out(funny how that works). He tilts his head down and looks up at you, kinda creepily, when hes "angry" but it's so funny. He is the  "nursery bully". But I just love him so much.

I seriously don't know what I would do without either of them.

We were blessed to be able to go as a family to Disneyland the week after Thanksgiving, it was such a special time and we made some fun memories, Tate still talks about it almost everyday when he sees anything that reminds him of it and can always tell us where we were in photos from the trip. He especially loved the Buzz Lightyear ride. He has been to Disneyland twice in his short life (well 2 trips, but 5 times). We really had a lot of fun and didn't have to wait for more than a minute on any ride. I am so excited to see what the future brings and look forward to more fun trips with my Favorite boys:)

And yes it rained on us, poured on us, while we were there, we lost Becks shoe, and Brandon has a Hitler mustache in our photos--wouldn't change a thing. Except maybe I would've gone to at least one parade or the World of Color show.
