Beck Boating

Dennis does a yearly get together with the Beck kids.  This year he had lots planed for us, unfortunately some of the family couldn't go.  So we went with plan B; boating.  Surprisingly the water was pretty warm.

 The Beck Clan - Jess driving and Ben on the back of the boat doing the rope.  Somehow I always feel like I need another pair of hands.   Amon loved Andrew; Thanks Andrew!

Hallee just pushed Brady in the water.  I think someone is in trouble.

The rest of the Beck Clan

Amon just figured out he can push buttons. Oh no!

mud slide 9/12 and ballet

While we were in St George a huge storm hit our city causing a mud slide just north of our house (50 homes were affected).  Thankfully our house wasn't touched.  Where the fire struck in June the rain got in September and the end result is tons and tons of mud.  Our neighbors are sweethearts and volunteered to check on our house for us since we were gone.  We decided to take a ride up the canyon to see for our selves.

4 Wheeler ride

The mud stirred up rocks on the canyon trail & took out trees, such a mess.  Pictures is of the few trees that weren't burnt charcoal black, yes there are a few.

 Picture taken from our mountain which is black and now covered in mud.

Hallee's first ballet class.

St George 8/12

Ben got labor day off so we decided to take advantage of it; St George here we come.  We bought tickets to Aladdin at Tuacahn.

Hallee was so excited to go see Aladdin

Hal and Jess posing before the performance. 

Ben and Hal

My mom is amazing and volunteered to watch Amon while my family went to Tuacahn (no children under 3 allowed).  The next day my parents Mac and Amon drove down to meet us in St George.  We have been blessed with such wonderful family.

Hiking with five little kiddos

The crew in the cave.  

Hallee did the cave hike last year so this was super easy for her;  for some reason my child has no fear.

Ben and Amon playing.  Amon loved having new toys to play with; he is such a good boy!  

Swimming time - Hal and Addy in the hot tub.

Amon and Ben swimming

Amon jumping to Ben.  

Amon would get out, then walk up close and sit down and slide on his bum towards the pool then lean forward having Ben catch him; then get out and do the whole process 100 more times.

The older kids playing at the park.  This trip was very kid friendly since we had 8 little ones at the condo.

Amon loved climbing on all the toys at 15 months.  He thinks he is a big boy and refused to hold my hand a couple of times.

Amon really enjoyed his cookie!

Yard almost done 8/2012 FINALLY

This is how we do yard work

Hallee enjoying her self while Ben and Dennis planted grass seed in the planter strip.

Our rock wall and our seed that has been planted.  So happy about how the rock wall turned out.

A big thank you for all the strong men that showed up to move our concrete pavers.  They saved me a huge back ach.  I really love how the pavers turned out.  Ben leveling all the pavers.

Ben taking a needed break, while Hallee on the other hand is very much enjoying herself.

Jess trying to keep the kids entertained so she can help Ben.  Did someone say Pool Time!
