Beckham is here, born 5/7. He is almost 3 weeks old. Where has the time gone? He is cute & healthy. Reminds us a lot of Will. He has a head full of dark hair, which we love. Big brother Will is doing as well as expected, I guess. Overall, loving his brother. Life sure does get back to normal a lot quicker with your second child. Life does not pause at all for a 2 year old. So, we have been trying to make life for Will as normal as possible. It has it's challenges for sure. I admire all your parents out there. Will definitely requests more attention, more hugs, wanting to be held and wanting a bottle :) It's funny how how we have only had Beckham at home for a short time, but cannot imagine life without him already.

We wanted to take a last family vacation before the arrival of bambino numero dos (initially hoping to head to Cali, but decided against the long drive), so we headed down to Zion for a few days (I had never been there, crazy, I know). It was so fun. Perfect weather, small hikes and just having a good time together. Here's Wes & Will on the Emerald Pools Hike.

Christmas Eve, sporting his Toy Story jammies and a ring pop-happy little guy indeed. He literally will ask to wear these pajamas every night & every day. What to do when your child wants to wear pajamas all the time? Well, he often gets his wishes to avoid the meltdown. Yep, that's us wearing bright green pajamas (or others) out & about.

Yep, it's the middle of November, and I am still talking about Halloween.

Summer is almost over, grrr. Having a fun Summer. Enjoying the park, swimming, time with friends & family & our first trip(s) to the E.R. for our little man to get stitched up. Lesson learned...when in need of stitches (& it's after hours) go straight to Primary's. Don't go to the local insta care & then to St. Mark's Hospital. Wait 3+ hours to then have the doc refer you to Primary's. Total time for our little fiasco (Will jumping on the couch-then over the couch). 6 hours, 7 stitches, 3 doctors, 2 ER medical bills (yikes), and one very unhappy child during the whole procedure. The doctor said that 9 out of 10 times when the child receives the medication to calm them down they go into a "happy drunk" state. 1 out of 10 times they turn into an "angry drunk." Yep, Will was most definitely an angry drunk. He screamed the entire time while 2 nurses held him down. It was not fun to watch. Although after he was kind of loopy, which was entertaining.

Where to begin with our fun Boyack family vacation to the Outer Banks, NC??? We spent 8 days with the family, going to the beach, playing in the pool, riding bikes, seeing the sights, eating food, having talent shows, dance parties, playing games, relaxing & just laughing & spending time together. Because 3 of Wes' siblings live out of state it was SO fun to all be together. It was truly one of those vacations that was sad to see it come to an end.
