Blame Social Media

I would like to blame social media for my lack of blogging! I'm always on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest instead of on here. BUT I'm back and will try to be better!

 Life Update: We are now living in Amarillo, TX for the summer. Kristian is doing a internship/research here. He is in the last semester his 2nd year of a 4 year Doctorate program. In August we will be moving to Houston so he can continue with his 3rd year. Half way done, WOO! I am nannying 3 days a week for a family here in town and getting to spend all my time with our crazy boy! 

 Speaking of Beckett, He is getting SO big and growing TOO fast! He is pulling up on everything and eating everything! He is a wild man! He hates to be held and crawls on one knee and his other foot, it is so funny! Beckett is super loud and jibber jabbers on and on.. He says "da da da da da". Kris thinks it is directed at him but it is not! We couldn't love our little man anymore.. if you can't tell!?! 

 In May, Becks got to met his cousin Mason in SLC

At the zoo being a little ham for the camera

 Finley, Beckett, and Deckland, bet you can't tell they are all Cousins!!

They are have that "Ormson" face

Trying to decide if this is a good idea

All he really wanted!

Father's Day! Beckett is lucky to have an amazing one!

Family Pic! ( don't worry that I look hunchback, just look at Beckett)

Sticking their tongues out, So cute!

White Coat Ceremony

At the end of every school year in the Audiology program at Lamar they have a White Coat Ceremony. They give the graduating class a dinner in which they receive their "white coats" to signify becoming a Doctor. Next year Kris will be receiving his! YEAH!

Graduating class of 2014

Day at the Beach..

On Good Friday, I had to work but Kris took Beckett to the beach in Galveston. He met his brother there with his family. The boys had a blast and I'm SO sad I had to miss out. Only 2 more weeks at work and I'll get to hang out with my baby all day!!! I can't wait for the summer! YAH!

Daddy buried him.. haha

Hanging with cousin Deckland..

5 months!!!

My little boyfriend turned 5 months old, 2 days ago, on the 16th. I love his little round pumpkin head so much! He is rolling over both ways now and pushing up on his arms, he almost can get his knees under himself.. Woooo! He is starting to like rice cereal. He insist on sleeping on his tummy. He is a squirmy worm and will not sit still, no more cuddling with mommy while awake. Beckett is an happy, happy boy and we love having him in our family. Here is his 4-5 month video!

Kristian's 7th Birthday

Kris was born on February 29th so his birthday only comes around every four years. This year he turned 7! We had a party for him on the actual day at our house.

Here are the awesome decorations.. Thanks to Pintrest!

Kris's cake! I made a Texas Sheet Cake.. If you've never had this, it's delicious and easy!!!

Our little family

Kris and Brian getting their dance on with the Kinect.. SO FUN!

Beckett and his best buddy Ronin!

My favorite party goer..

4 Months!!!

Beckett 4 months old today! He is getting big SO fast and learns something new everyday! We take tons of videos of his so I've decided to do a montage every month. He rolls over now as soon as he is on the ground, loves to stick his fists in his mouth, babbles non-stop, and is an all around happy little guy who loves attention. Here is his newest video!

Galveston

I actually had a Saturday off so we decided to go to Galveston for the day. It is only 2 hours from us here in Beaumont. The day was pretty foggy but it was a warm 60 degrees and we enjoyed as much as we could. We went to the beach but did not get in the water or even close to it really. We had such a fun day though just getting away. We have to take advantage of our time while we are down here in SE Texas.

We also went and walked around on "The Strand" which is a cute street with tons of little shops.

Babbling Beckett

So much to update on! I'm back at work full-time and Kristian is back in school full-time. He goes to North Houston 2 days a week for clinical rotations and I close 2 nights a week at work. Needless to say we barely see each other and it is an evil game of pass the baby. Luckily, Beckett is great and doesn't seam to mind all the shuffle.

He is 3 months old now and starting to be more active. He loves to stand up all the time while we are holding him. He gives smiles out like they are candy. And he is also talking tons!! Which is what this video is of.. We love him SO much! It is the highlight of my day when I get to go pick him up!

Ugly Sweaters and Toupees

Not a lot has changed around here. I'm still on maternity leave and spending all day with my baby boy. AND I'm still obsessed with him. I think it gets worse daily! Time is flying by and I am not ready to go back to work at the first of January. I would stay home if I could. Funny thing is I thought I would have SO much free time not working and get SO much stuff done. NOT, between Beckett eating and me pumping it takes a lot of our day away. Here is a catch up of what we've been up to the last couple weeks besides those two things.

Beckett was SO tired from playing..

His first time in his bumbo.. I think it was a success!

This last weekend, we were lucky enough to have Kris's parents in Beaumont. They were asked to speak to the Audiology program students at Lamar, where Kris attends. For those of you who don't know his dad, Kerry, is an Audiologist in Amarillo and his mom, Nancy, is the office manager. This was Kerry's second time speaking and Nancy's first. From what I hear they did great! I'm sure they will be back next year!

Friday night was the Audiology program's Christmas party. The theme was ugly sweats so don't judge us for what we are wearing. Here is Nancy with Beckett...

And Kerry now, Papaw, as Beckett will call him...

All of together..

After the party Kris and I got a little carried away playing with Beckett, I do this thing where I put my hair over his head and it looks like he is wearing a toupee. We think it's hilarious! You will see that Beckett loved it too.. haha!
