kid tested

I guess he was hungry.

exercise, exercise

Here's Corban working out pretty hard. Look at those big, lean muscles.

Viva Las Vegas

The whole family went down to Las Vegas to visit Alyn, Joe's brother, and his family. It was warm and sunny, but a little breezy, but A LOT warmer than here. We went to the shark encounter at Mandalay Bay, The Blue Man Group, shopping at the outlet mall, watched some hoops, and ate a lot of good, good food.

The Vegas Becks have a guest suit that includes a king sized bed. Joe definitely got too used to that bed. Two nights here in Utah and I woke up with a knee in my back. A king-sized bed is most definitely a purchase we will be making in the future.

Corban did pretty good in the car. He napped for about an hour both ways and then watched DVDs. I use "DVDs" loosely because he really only watched one DVD multiple times. By about Provo, on our way home, he was screaming, "Out!" It's funny now, but I'm sure glad we're all out of that car.

We had a blast and can't wait for the weather to catch up here and get warmer. Thanks Vegas Becks for a fabulous weekend!

sweatin' to the oldies

Joe and I are on a weight-loss plan. We're exercising and eating better. We've even taken before pictures to compare at the end. Don't worry though, we won't be posting any of those pictures on here. You can, wish us luck though.

bad medicine

I won't tell you why he needed it, but Corban needed medicine. Joe got the syringe and was dosing. There was an air bubble so, naturally, he turned the syringe and tried to push the air out. I heard a pop, swish, and splat. There was medicine on the ceiling, on the table, and on the floor! Unfortunately, it got on my primary lesson and a blanket I'm making for a sister-in-law.

Later that same night we were getting Corban ready for bed. We stripped him naked and wanted him to follow me to the bathroom. He made it around the side of the couch before we had our own little lake in our living room! He looked at it and looked a little concerned that water was coming out of him down there. He then stepped in it and ran away from me who was desperately trying to get to him before he got it all over the place. I then had to clean up a pee puddle and pee footprints.

No pictures of these events were taken.

hey baby

Yep. This is Corban's attempt at winking.

just the two of us

Joe has been working hard this past semester. He has classes every day except Tuesday and works 12 hour shifts every Tuesday and Thursday. Today we all woke up a little later than usual (thank heaven). Joe hopped in the shower while I fed Corban. I then got back into bed and waited for Joe to finish getting ready so I could drive him to work. He got after me about getting out of bed, getting the boy's coat on, and warming up the car. Well, he was so concerned about me that he accidently put on two different shoes! I'm still giggling about it. Corban and I had lunch with Joe today and was able to switch the shoes. Nobody at work noticed, but I'm sure they'll check his shoes from now on.
