The Nutcracker

Sydnee LOVES the Nutcracker. It's one of her favorite holiday movies (the other is The Nightmare Before Christmas...she's a weird child)

She asked for a Nutcracker for Christmas last year and BEGGED this year for me to take her to see the Ballet. So I invited Krystal and her daughter Kayli and we had a girl's night.

Kayli doesn't like taking pictures, she refused to uncover her face.


Sydnee likes to grab the camera and boss me around with how to stand and how to smile, Krystal cracked up saying she wondered where Syd learned that??

Hmmm... I'm sure I don't know?

Krystal and I planned to actually get dressed up considering we both usually work 50-60hours a week and all we normally wear is scrubs. What we didn't plan was matching each other!

My sweet Sassy.

Sydnee got a new Nutcracker while waiting for the show. (It was only $1! Couldn't resist) Sydnee was absolutely giddy before the show. She was bouncing in her seat and would giggle randomly.



The show was AMAZING! I loved it, and I have a slight crush on Drosselmeyer (who knew I'd dig the eye patch?) After the show there was a Holiday Tea where cookies and drinks were served. The dancers walked around and talked to everyone. Sydnee got her picture with Clara and Fritz! (Haha! Notice Kayli in the corner? Gotcha!!!)

I love having magical memories! We will definitely be doing this every year.

Something good....I got a new photo editing program! So watch out for more pics

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BECKS!

My baby boy turned 4 on Tuesday! But I can't even think about it because he's supposed to stay little forever. He is the sweetest baby, he constantly gives hugs and tells me how much he loves me. He is the happiest part of my day!

12hours of labor, 2 hours of pushing, and 8lb 11oz Beckham De Koa came into the world.


4 days old, he was the cutest Christmas present

So snuggly

Cutest chubby baby face. His cheeks were so big he couldn't close his mouth

Happy happy baby


He had RED hair, it always shocked me to see

Even when he's being mischievous he's adorable

More mischief

Fell down while running in church and split his head open

He discovered his love for trains at a young age. He becomes completely transfixed whenever he watches a train movie

There is constantly a train in his hand

He even got to meet Thomas

He likes when his hair is "spicy" (spiky)

He loved going to the beach and playing in the sand

I LOVE this boy!!!!

Something GOOD....Even though it breaks my heart when I leave Beckham begs me everyday not to go to work. His favorite thing is to spend time cuddling with his Mommy!
