The candy is gone.

Tuck and i already scarfed Beck's candy for him. Mean? Oh no. We did him a favor.
Here are Our Halloween kiddies. ..
Halloween was good this year. Though Tucker and I did not dress up.. so it was a little less Halloweenish for me. Time just went too fast. Next year though... We already have an idea brewin. Anyways! Beck was hilarious to trick or Treat with. Of course when we got up to the door and I rang the doorbell, the person would come.. and I'd be saying "trick or treat" by myself.. holding out HIS candy bag.. and saying "Sorry he's still learning." type stuff. haha it was pretty funny. He got lots of compliments.. but every time the person would speak directly to him.. asking him questions he would somehow sneak that tongue out.. just a little bit.. and stand there. Shy? haha. Oh yeah. It was a fun time!

And a night At Aunt Muff's house. haha. Not so Sweet Arli clawin on Cute Dax! We only wanted to get them laying next to eachother. Arli would not have it.

I have to say.. these two.. Oh my! I took Bo for the day one day last week. I thought it'd be so fun for the boys to have a sleepover!! Well we made it all day.. but in the end after dinner at Kendra's house, Bo did not make it back home with us. I think he totally forgot we were there by the end. Or he was avoiding eye contact so he wouldn't have to go. haha. But the day was fun! There were good moments and ... fight moments. Oh yes.. the fight moments were loud, tearful, and I was grateful at that moment I did not have twin boys. One time Beck did something to Bo.. probably hit him or something, and Bo said over and over "Beck, say sorry to me please". OVER and OVER haha. It was hilarious. ten minutes later he was still saying it. And poor Bo, Beck had already gotten over it.. and i guarentee it wasn't even in his brain storage haha. Bo is so cute. He speaks so clearly, it was nice to actually understand a 2 year old like he was 6 haha. Beck and Bo. A very close pair. I love them two together! Thanks Kendra for letting us borrow Bo for the day! Maybe next time we'll make it a sleepover.

We had a blast at the Oregon Coast. We went to Gleneden Beach. So pretty. Perfect weather! and a fun time with Tuck’s family! On the way home I just kept thinking “nooo.. i don’t want to go home yet.”. It was a well needed trip and we are SOO glad we were able to go. It was so fun having Beck at this fun age. and Arli is at a good age for it too. So much fun! ONly sad things.. my camera died prematurely and we never got around to playing games at night! but it was so fun… can’t wait till next year..

Life’s good stuff

Pure Joy= watching my boy copy everything his daddy does.

Pure Bliss= Beck goin in to “get” (play) with Arli when she wakes up from her nap

… and watching them wrestle.

Pure Happiness= watching Beck and his pops play football in the yard.

.. If thats not the best “stiff arm” you’ve ever seen, then i dunno what is.

.. and watching my husband make goofy faces to make Arli laugh.

.. and having Tucker tell me , “hurry there’s a car coming i don’t wanna look stupid!” while i’m taking their picture after they rolled down the lawn about 10 times.

Pure heavenly= Having my little girl right beside me watching the boys play.

.. and having to take out my battery and air out my phone to get all the slobber out so it’d work again.

Pure gratitude= Seeing my mom really enjoy her Birthday! SHout out to mamasita! We love you!

The Tres Amigas, ( my mom, Silvia, Grandma Mercedes, and Aunt Rossana)

Perfect= Telling Beck to put his arm around his little sis for a pic.. and he listened :)

woh

Its official Arli has been scootin around for a couple weeks now. She is getting faster every day.. Only a matter of time until she gets goin on her hands and knees. She can get to them but doesn't move forward as of yet. It is so interesting how Beck was so different from Arli as a baby. Arli so far has been faster learner and hittin those milestones faster.. and is a way better eater.. (as you can see). She is pretty happy most the time too.. unless she's hungry. haha. She is startin to give kisses. Ask for a kiss and pucker your lips and if you're lucky you'll get a open mouthed smooch from her.

Beck is continuing to say more and more words. My favorite right now: "yowwawa" translation... your welcome. So i guess some of it still isn't clear to everyone else, but for us that are around him a lot, we know exactly what he's talkin about.

Life is good . Busy but good. It's nice to get home from work and have Beck runnin to me and Arli grunting and crawlin towards me haha. And Tucker runnin to a chair for a break haha. He's been doing so good though. We are both busy but I love the new business. It's nice to contribute financially and get a little break from laundry laundry laundry and cleaning.

Today is the first game for BSU.. I was reminded of this when this morning Tucker blared the bsu fight song then when it was done he said. "Man I need to get that as my ringtone!" Then he went on to take pictures of the kids holding our bsu car flag. (Okay I took pictures too). Then he told me he was so happy and excited for the game tonight that he _________. I can't say what. Then I got a text from him. It goes as follows : " So I was walking through the commons area here (CWI) and I yelled BOISE expecting to get a "state" and everyone just stared at me.. "

haha Man he is funny. Well Go Broncos! We have a busy day ahead of us yet again..

183 Days Old.

Arli is 6 months today.. Woh!

• She is sitting up on her own.
• She is rolling every way like a mad-man.
• She is scooting herself around in a circle to go left or right.
• She is babbling a ton and makes weird noises
• She is a mommy’s girl for now
• She is trying to scoot/crawl forward :)

keep workin at it girlie! She is the cutest little farli Arli ever! Can’t imagine life without her in our family. She has brought out another side to her Daddy and to her brother. A softer side. And I feel so lucky to have a cute girl by my side forever in my life  :)

official stats:

• 18lbs. 7oz. (90%)
• 25 3/4 in. (50%)

Go Arli!

         

Just Anotha’

Mutha.. workin at Other Mothers.

trying out working again. Ha. Last time I worked at Old Navy, it was not my cup of tea. With my sister leaving for college, and leaving work at Other Mothers, I decided to take the opportunity to continue the Hope girls legacy of working there. Haaa. kinda. (my mom worked there before then brittany took her spot and now i'm taking brittany's spot) I knew it would be pretty easy.. but i didn't expect to enjoy it as much i actually do. Hah. It's kinda odd, but I just like to organize and clean. Ask tucker.. I do it way too often.. and for me there is always something to do. It's nice getting paid to do stuff that I would be doing at home anyway. Just a store's stuff and not mine ha. But so far so good.

And speaking of... My sister left for UOI this morning.. SAD!! it was sad. I wanted to cry... but knew that would have been way too dramatic. Since she IS visiting a lot. Shessh. While living here I got to spend so much time with her and just do sister stuff. I honestly do not know how a girl without a sister lives. No offense. Just no idea. She is my best friend.. and i miss her. A lot. Beck was looking for her and calling her name after she had left and I admit, I teared up. haha.. MAN! Reading that, I sound really lame. But I swear, it was a moment. But I plan to write her cute letters and send her things. cause we are like that. haha.. Like she's my little missionary.. but not on mission. at all. haha.

Summer is winding down.. with all the talk about schooool and Tucker starting school again and Beck's Uncle Travis starting his teaching career. I feel like I should go to school. But.. I just have no idea what I want to do. Actually, I have a lot of ideas. I just don't know which one to choose.

And now that summer is almost over.. I think back to when it began and Arli was a little munchkin.. and now she's a big munchkin with good size thighs and such. MAN! I do hate the saying but MAN time really does fly! How!? How can Arli be rolling around everrryyyywhere. I mean everywhere! And scooting her body around in place. and be sitting up by herself?? Man! I love it and I hate it! She will never be as small as she is today ever. again. sad. But that's what nieces and nephews are for in the meantime right :)

Lately

Man for some reason its hard to blog since we’ve been home. haha. But hopefully I’m back for good now.. we’ll see.

Well here is what’s been happening with us :)

Our new niece Babeh’ Ella made her debut on Wednesday. :) Hopefully proud parents Travis and Stacie don’t mind me puttin up pics. But shes is the cutest thing EVER!

The Closest Beck Got to her

The 2 girlies.. future BFF’s. Though right now all Arli wanted to do was pretty much eat her.

Bo and Beck in the waiting room

And our 2 cute punks! Man Arli is packin it on haha WE love them :)
