. . . . . . . It finally happened, Spence and Carlie got married! Here are a few pictures from the occasion. Always such a stud:

However, once the decorating lasted into about 1:30am he was pretty wiped. But not as ticked off as Kaitlyn seems to be...

At the recepetion:

And after only 2 hours of sleep as a result of setting up the night before, she still looks this good.

. . . . . . I've been getting some mean jokes lately from people who claim they thought we were dead because we haven't posted anything on here for a while. It's only been half a year! Life is pretty much the same except that Erin is cuter than ever and Beck is cooler than ever. My little sister Kaitlyn just moved down here to live with us until she starts school in January and she's been pretty great so far too. Other than that, not much change. Here's the evidence:

Just a couple of single studs hanging out at a wedding.

Beck loves to help me work on the house. He's just double checking my measurements.

He loves his chocolate milk. He loves it so much that he thought he'd turn the whole carpet into chocolate. Good thing we were already scheduled to replace this carpet just a week after this happened.

These two are best buds. Max will rarely leave his side and the first thing Beck says almost every morning is that he wants to go outside and see Max.

As I said, Erin keeps getting hotter and hotter.

Beck was quite pride of his quarry after we went snake hunting the other day. Katie and Adam were even happier since we left the jar (snake included) sitting on their counter.

Things have been as busy as every and we're just loving life. We've been in our new house now for almost 5 months and we've gotten a surprisingly high number of projects done. Still plenty to do but we're loving it. Here are a few pictures. Clearly he learned this look from his mom. If you just say, "scowl" this is what you get...

Here are all the cousins getting ready for Halloween.

I think the cutest of the group is the bumblebee but I may be a little biased.

Last weekend we went out Christmas tree hunting and this is what we came home with.

Beck loves playing ball!

Earlier today Erin walked into the laundry room and found Beck like this:

I think he quite likes the reindeer grandma sent him.

Busted kissing his toy.

Here are a few pictures of Beck's birthday party with his cousins.

Mom of the Year! Check out these cakes Erin made.


Singing Happy Birthday.


He needed a little help getting started on the cake but once he figured it out, nobody else was allowed to touch it.


"My cake!"


What a cute little mess.


And lastly, Beckam figured out a new way to eat some of the more slippery foods.

In an effort to make up for lost time I decided to throw together another post real quick. This one will just be our family pictures we got while we were all in Cincinatti with Landon and Kara but as today is Beckam's birthday I'll be adding a few more birthday pics in a few days.

We'll start things off with pictures of the cute ones in the family.


Such a ladies man. Bexley is clearly the aggressor!








Freaking Stud!


Now lets see where he got all those cute genes.





Here's the whole fam

It has taken forever but we're finally putting together an update. We moved into our new house in Kaysville about 2 months ago. We've been crazy busy with projects on the house and the new job. Beck is growing up and Erin was called to the Young Women's Presidency and is loving it. Pictures start chronologically from the bottom of the post.


At the aquarium in Cincinatti.


Beck couldn't figure out the guy swimming in the shark tank.


I don't remember which museum this is but it was sure fun.


At the Natural History Museum


Beck riding on my shoulders and very tired.


We had been in our house for exactly 5 days before we went to Washington DC for a week. Here we are at the Lincoln Memorial.


When we finally got into our house Beck LOVED unpacking his stuffed animals.


Here's Beck with all his Easter presents.


Easter party with the fam





We stayed for about 2 and a half months at Erin's sister's house til we figured out where we were going to live. Here is Beck and his cousin, Jens just hanging out.


Saying Goodbye...

Well, this is sooner than I usually get around to publishing a new post but there has been a lot going on. The biggest news is that I got a new job. I start at Intermountain Healthcare in Salt Lake on the 14th. I'll be in their Administration building as a Coding Consultant. We just found out about the job offer on the 7th so we don't have a lot of time to get moved out of Rexburg and find a place in SLC but we're pretty happy about it all the same. Another note-worthy story is that a couple weeks ago Beck got RSV, which was miserable for us and him. We're glad for a good doctor and that he's finally better. So here are a few pictures of our final month in "The Burg".

This one is while he was sick. He could breathe better if he was sitting upright, so to sleep we laid him in his carseat. Obviously he was tossing and turning a little because here he is half in and half out of his seat but still dead asleep.


Clearly feeling much better.


Once he was better, Erin and I went out to dinner and left him with Kelsey. He hasn't been babysat a lot so we were a little worried about whether or not he'd be happy about it. But when we came home and I reached for him, this was his answer.


This is one of his favorite new tricks. He used to play with the toys on this bouncer with his hands, now he'll only play with them using his feet.


While we were down in Utah for my interview we stayed for a day or two at Jen and Tory's. This is me teaching him the importance of hunting using Tory's wii game.
