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!

Guess I should update!

Well I am now 28 weeks pregnant! At my last doctors appointment he said he would induce me between the 6th and 10th of October so that Dylan could have everything scheduled with work. (Thats if I don't go sooner!) But I'll be staying down with my parents for the last couple weeks incase that does happen and I won't have to deliver in the icky Rock Springs hospital.
More exciting news! Dylan and I have talked about buying a house down in the Bountiful/Centerville area because this is where we want to be for a while. Dylan will still work up in Rock Springs and just come down on his weeks off. Hopefully it will save us some money because Rock Springs is so dang expensive and it will be nice to be closer to family and friends again!
And little miss Oakley! Oh goodness! That little girl is growing up too fast! She amazes us everyday with all the things she's learning. She is understanding more and more that she is going to have a little brother and she comes and says hi and good morning to him everyday then gives him a big kiss! Its so cute! At the moment she is obsessed with Elmo's World and Yo Gabba Gabba! (Stupidest show in the world but it keeps her entertained) Without fail we watch at least 5 episodes a day... lol But its ok!

Its a BOY!

So we found out we are having a little boy! We couldn't be more excited! Now we have one of each! We have a name picked out but we are keeping it a secret until he is born. Dylan can't wait to teach him how to play baseball and to just have another boy around lol and I can't wait to just see his little face and see if he looks like Oakley at all! Oh I can't wait!!

Its been a while!

So I should probably update this and share whats going on! I am currently 17 weeks pregnant and we find out what we're having on the 15th! I can't wait! We also are moving again to a brand new 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment, still in Rock Springs.. what a bummer!
Oakley is learning so much lately! She tries so say everything I say and she copies everyone else too! I'm so proud of her. She surprises me everyday with the things she does. Oh I love her so much!
Dylan is doing really good. He is still working at Halliburton (an oil company) and loves his job!
I guess thats us in a nut shell for now! I'll update more soon!

2 Years Already!!!

I can't believe that Dylan and I have already been married for 2 years! April 3, 2007 was the day and now its 2 years later! I feel like its been longer because of everything we've been through but Dylan doesn't feel the same.. of course lol.. We had so much fun that day! We went to dinner at Rodizio Grill and then went and walked around the mall. Dylan decided he wanted a skateboard so we got him one then Dylan surprised me with a beautiful necklace that has an opal with 2 small diamonds above it. Opal is our birth stone and the 2 diamonds are for our 2 babies! I love it! We then stayed at the Anniversary Inn that night and we stayed in the Sun Valley room. It was like sleeping in a log cabin and it was awesome! lol I totally forgot to bring my camera with us. I was so mad!! But I can't imagine my life without Dylan. He is my rock and my best friend. Love you baby!!
