This little guy is going to be a big brother to his little brother, Caleb Dalton Beall!

We found out that we are having another boy. Dylan is very excited and says cute things about his baby brother. He loves to look at the ultrasound pictures and watch the ultrasound movie. In nursery a week ago the teacher said that they were singing a song about hearts and Dylan said, "my baby brother has a heartbeat." Dylan also says, "baby Caleb in there? pointing to my belly, and then, can he come out? he can walk? I want to play with him." It is pretty cute. Dylan is learning how to be a good big brother by practicing with our neighbor boy that we watch twice a week. He loves Christian and cries when he leaves and always wonders where he is when he is not at our house. I love being a mom to little Dylan and I am excited to meet our new little boy!


These pictures are taken at the Saratoga Springs Marina on the shores of Utah Lake. Dylan had fun watching the fishermen and throwing rocks into the water.

What I have been doing in my spare time...

I have found a love for working in my yard. It has been fun this year to do some new things with my yard and garden. My favorite yard project was my window box that I bought at Rod Works and then planted myself and with help from my dad hung it from my side patio fence. Bryan and I even found out that we could fix our own sprinklers. In all my digging and planting I had accidentally broken a lot of the pieces to our drip system in the flower beds. In addition to those problems there were many of our sprinkler heads that were either not working or not working very well. We were pretty proud of ourselves for figuring out how to fix them and then fix them. It is fun and very therapeutic to work out in the yard and even more fun to enjoy it once the work is done.




This was the only spot I could think of to plant any vegetables. The ground is not very good, but I thought I would start this year with some Zucchini plants and if they grow successfully I will expand next year.

My dad showing off our handy work! I love this, if I had the money I would make many more.

Happy 60th Birthday Dad!

Today is my dad's 60th birthday! After looking through hundreds of pictures on my computer, I only found these four of him. Apparently I need to be taking more pictures of him, because as he has been telling me often lately he is not going to be around much longer. For awhile he was telling me I needed to check on him daily to make sure he was still alive. This is funny because my dad is one of the youngest 60 year olds I know! I love that he moved closer to me and my family last year and that we have been able to spend more time together and get to know each other better without the stress of living "under his roof." My dad is a great father and his children and grandchildren are blessed to have him around. Hope you have a great birthday dad, and enjoy the "Seafood Fest" we have planned for you tonight! Love you!
