Getting ready for baby # 2, Caleb Dalton Beall

Today I am 12 days away from my due date to deliver this little precious boy! It has been fun getting his room all ready. I am very ready to welcome this little one into our family. His room is all ready and stocked with his clothes organized from 0-3 months, 3-6 months, all the way to 12 months. I have my bag packed, his diaper bag packed with cute outfits for the hospital and all the essentials, and his carseat all ready to go. I am scheduled to work 5 more shifts before my due date and it is a struggle to get through each shift at this point. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow so we will see what he says. I am excited to meet and hold little Caleb! Probably the next time I post will be pictures of him. Any guesses on what he will look like?



I made this carseat cover to help keep Caleb protected from the elements this winter. I already had the fabric for a quilt I was going to make for Dylan before he was born and never did, so it was cheap and easy. I think it turned out pretty great and is definitely original.

Dylan's First Day of Preschool

Dylan started preschool the beginning of September and has absolutely loved it! He goes to CountryLoft Preschool in Lehi Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9 to 11:30. He has done really well and is always happy when I drop him off and pick him up. His teacher's name is Ms. Jaci and is very nice. He has already learned a lot and comes home singing a new song almost everyday. The other day while eating dinner Dylan recited the Pledge of Allegiance. I was amazed! He is a little memorizer and is very smart!

Oktoberfest in Snowbird

We had a very enjoyable, relaxing day up at Snowbird one weekend. It was a good trip and nice to spend time as a family. Dylan loved the alpine slide with his daddy, and loved playing in the bounce houses as well.

He sat really still to get his face painted, but sure doesn't look too happy in this picture. But as you can see in the next two he liked his face paint and was roaring at everyone because he was a "scary monster."


We rode the tram up the mountain and enjoyed with cool weather while listening to a small band play the french horns. It wasn't what Bryan expected because I had told him there was a band playing at the top. He had anticipated something quite a bit different, but it was enjoyable all the same. It was beautiful up there and a nice getaway!

Random Catch Up Photos

We have been reading Dr. Seuss a lot lately and Dylan loves the book Green Eggs and Ham so one morning for breakfast here was my attempt at making them. Dylan loved it and ate all of them!

A while ago my friend Kristina and I took our kids to This is the Place in Salt Lake. The kids had fun playing in the houses, petting the goats/pigs, and riding the ponies. I wish I would have planned it better, cause we weren't able to stay very long and missed out on a lot more activities.






My mom and I went to Gardner Village and Dylan enjoyed watching and chasing the geese.

This picture was taken at Dylan's cousin Katelyn's birthday party at Utah Lake. I think little kids like frosting! This is Dylan with his two cousins Carson and Carter. They are very close in age and always enjoy spending time with eachother.

Bryan turned 32 on July 29th. We didn't do anything big this year to celebrate, but I did make him Lemon Bars for his cake, which he loves. I sure love my husband! He is the best!

Playing Catch-up/Summer Fun

These pictures are a few months old. One day I put up the slip and slide in the front yard and let the boys play. They had a good time trying to figure out how it worked, but mostly just played in the water. The little boy with Dylan is Christian. I started watching him in April and watch him every Monday and Wednesday and his mom, Jade, the next door neighbor watches Dylan Tuesday and Thursday. It has ended up working out really great. We are both able to work and know that our children are safe and taken care of. The best part is we don't have to pay for daycare and Dylan gets better care than if he were in daycare.
