A new addition!



We officially have a pet! Haha we got a fish! Actually 2! Dylan's mom had gotten Oakley this little fish tank for Christmas and we finally put it together and went and picked out two little gold fish. We asked Oakley what she wanted to name them and she said "Scubbers" haha so we have Scubbers and Scubbie! Dylan and I are hoping they don't die on us and he's terrified that Oakley is going to be devistated if they do but I know she won't understand. So for now this is our first set of fish!

Fatherly Love!





Dylan is the best daddy I think a little girl could ask for. Dylan was gone for the first 9 months of Oakley's life and I think he has made up the time perfectly! She adores her daddy and I love watching them together! They are always laughing and playing and he is the first one to get her if she ever starts crying. Oakley totally has him wrapped around her little finger and he'll pretty much give her anything she wants haha! But I couldn't ask for a better husband and father to my kids. He's the best! I love you baby!

Beecher Family Campout








Every year the Beecher side of the family goes on a campout. Its probably what I look forward to the most each summer! We go tubing down the river (This year I couldn't go because I was pregnant..bummer..) and we have now made a family tradition of having a glow stick parade, kinda weird but so fun! We get hundreds of glow sticks and dress eachother up and go walk through the camp ground and sometimes we even get people that cheer for us. Its pretty funny. Then we always have a yummy dutch oven dinner the last night and its soooo good! Oh I love camping! OH! and this was the first year that Dylan was able to come with us! He loved every minute of it!
