On Wednesday December 29th it snowed a lot! I took all the boys outside (including my nephew Sam) and they went sledding and Beckham had fun just trying to walk through the VERY deep snow. After that we had to go inside and get back in our pajamas and under warm blankets!
Cole and Bradley are in a Jr Jazz Basketball team, which they love. They received free Jazz tickets for Monday December 27th! Dennis took Cole, Bradley, and their cousin Sam. Dennis said they had fun...for the first quarter... but they hung in there until the 3rd quarter. I think they loved being with their cousin Sam most of all!
This Christmas was WONDERFUL! I was a little worried because Beckham's collarbone was making him miserable and more work than usual, but the little guy made it through with smiles (and no nap) on Christmas. The kids woke up at 6:50 a.m. They have never awakened this early before. They were very excited, as were we! Beckham was still asleep, so the boys opened their presents one by one and loved them all. Cole and Bradley were so anxious for Beckham to wake up and see what Santa had brought him! He finally woke up and they all had so much fun together. We then headed over to my parents for breakfast with all of their cousins and then back home where they continued to set up Lego's with their dad and talk to their LaTour cousins/family in North Carolina. I am so truly grateful for my family and for the Savior's birth. Dennis and I really made sure our kids knew what Christmas is about, which made it so even more meaningful.

On Wednesday December 22nd we were having a great day! Dennis had the day off and the boys had their Christmas program. It was a great morning. We decided to try something with Beckham that we heard could work wonders for his sleeping- a chiropractor! I made the appointment and off we went. The chiropractor was wonderful and helped Beckham with a kink in his neck and one in his back. The chiropractor was so sure this would help him sleep. We were beyond excited. We got home and had dinner. As I was getting everything ready upstairs, all the boys were downstairs playing. Dennis came up with some dishes and the two older boys followed. About two seconds later we heard SCREAMING! Beckham was so upset and uncomfortable. I knew he had fallen but assumed he was mostly tired. We put him down to sleep only to be awakened at 11:30 with more screaming. He wouldn't let us touch his arm. Dennis took him to Primary Children's Hospital at midnight. Around 4:30 I am updated by text with the above picture with the words "fractured clavicle!" I couldn't believe it. I have never dealt with anything like this before. I have come to realize that Beckham is very different from Cole and Bradley. He is a climber, has no fear, and is into everything. As tough as this is to believe, Cole and Bradley were very tame (I am sure that was a blessing to my sanity back then)! So...we have no idea if the chiropractor would have worked and this made Christmas a lot more interesting...but he is on the mend...and we are grateful!
I can't believe my last post was in June. I have failed to capture some fun (and not so fun) moments we have had since June. I am going to try and catch up. It does strike me as funny that my last post was about Beckham not sleeping....don't worry...that hasn't changed....so no need to update anyone on that subject! :)
As all of you have heard (because I whine about it often) my sweet baby boy is not a good night sleeper. Because of this he has a tendency to sleep in different places throughout the house at night (I have literally given up on any methods and I apparently cannot let him cry for too long- it tortures me)! He has slept in our bed, in chairs, on a mattress on his floor, in a port a crib, in his crib, and finally the couch. I had just gotten home from working out yesterday morning and the picture below is how I found Beckham. How on earth is this more comfortable than his crib? At least he is asleep...right?
