Family pics

After Stephen's Mom, Nana, took such great pictures of Miss Karly in the bath tub I realized that we, as a family, had not had our pictures taken since shortly after Karly was born. Before we add our SECOND addition, I thought we should get a few more shots in. Nana and Poppa Bob came to our house this morning to shoot some photos. I was hoping that I didn't ruin them all...I haven't been taking the best pictures as I get older! Here are a few of my favs!

Thanks again Nana! We love you! XOXO

Good ol' fashion bath tub fun!

(Momma's Favorite!)

Today we met up with Nana, Poppa Bob, and Sophie for some good ol' fashion bath tub pics at Nana's house. Little did Karly know she was going for more than just to see Sophie...I thought we were off to a not so good start when I asked her if she wanted to play in the water and her response was "Nope!" (the newest reply when asked a question). Needless to say the pictures turned out AMAZING and I LOVE them ALL! She was quite the "little poser" with the help of Momma, Poppa Bob, and Sophie of course. Thanks to Nana for taking such GREAT photos of our little one. They are so good that when I went to print them at Wal-Mart, the lady just about didn't let me have them because of the "copyright laws". Little does she know, we are blessed to have such a talented Nana to take our "professional" pictures for us!

Family pics soon to come! : )

The "froggy pose" just for Nana! ; )

Daddy's favorite - doesn't she look so innocent, NOT!

Super Cutie!

One of Nana's favs!

Karly and Miss Sophie!

ABC's

Where does the summer go!! First off I can't believe I've already been off for almost 3 weeks. Karly and I have been trying to stay busy. The first week was a blast! We walked to our neighborhood pool everyday and spent some time splish-splashing in the water! She loves it for about 30 minutes and then is ready to go home to do sidewalk chalk or swing. The second week, when the rain set in, we hit the mall, rode the carousel, and visited Nana, Poppa Bob, and one of her new favorites, Sophie, their boxer-rotti mix dog. And since the rain still hasn't left going into mid-week of #3, we are getting quite creative to find things indoors and around the house to stay busy. Thanks to the movie Shrek 2, which is quite the hit these days too! She loves the kitty cat best of course. We have also been working on colors, counting, and the ABC's. Call me crazy, but my one and a half year old can now say most of her colors, count to 10, and sing her ABC's. I know...it sounds like I'm a bragging Mom, but I promise she does! When it was nap time today, I final got a good video of her singing from my phone (so it's not even the best)! I can't believe she can do all the things she does at her age!

What can I say, she's a smarty pants! ; )

Welcome Mr. Ryder!

Our family, the Beerbaur side, welcomed the 6th grandbaby into the world on Friday, May 21st, Mr Ryder Mathis. The 1st boy addition to the clan! He weighed 8lbs. 9oz. and was 20 inches long. He now holds the weight record out of all the grandbabies. Congratulations to Aunt Sarah, Uncle Toby, and Paisley!! He is too sweet for words!

Piggy Tails!

I hate to think that I've been slacking on doing Karly's hair up until this point... I just truly didn't know how much I could do with it! Although it is growing, I just didn't think anything but a part on the side and a bow to keep it out of her face would work. So the other night while she was busy into watching her fav tv shows on Nick Jr, I decided to explore. She's not too crazy about me playing with it now, but she just better get used to it because it was too much fun! And I am bound and determined to make her not so tender headed in the process. Good luck with that huh! Here's Karly's first true set of piggy tails!

Gotta love them! ; )

The back view! Too cute don't ya think! ; )

Happy Mother's Day!!

To all my BEAUTIFUL Mother family and friends, hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!! I had a LOVELY Mother's Day with a ton of family members. Even though the weather was a little cloudy and chilly, we had a huge family BBQ at Karly's Aunt Grandma's house. There we got to hang out with all of our cousins, second cousins, Grandma's, Uncle Grandpa, Aunt Tati, Uncles, and baby cousin Gabi! Karly's day was filled with fun rides in the golf cart, running as fast as she could in the grass, watching Daddy play washers, golf, and basketball, seeing all the farm animals, the coolest bubble gun, stealing everyone's cell phone to watch Go Diego Go, dancing, singing, and hamming it all for ALL to see! I didn't take as many pics as I probably should have, but that's because I was having too much fun visiting myself.

Thanks for a GREAT Mother's Day!

Look at this AWESOME bubble gun!! She LOVED it!! Thanks Uncle Jeff!

So proud of our Daddy!!

Last October Stephen made a HUGE career change to better his family. (He's always thinking of us cause he's the BEST!!) He went from being the best Union Laborer, in which he had been doing for 8 years, to working as an Apprentice and having to learn the ropes to be a Estimator for Pyramid Roofing Company. This meant that he TOTALLY had to learn all new info. to do his job, which is hard for us all to do! Knowing that this also meant a major salary decrease until he was out on his own, which could be up to a year, he also decided to get rid of his truck...I promise this was HIS decision! Again, thinking of us! So after 8 months of car pooling, we are ALL very excited to say that he is officially out on his own and now has his own company truck! Karly and I couldn't be any more proud of him!! Since he got his truck, late last week, all Karly has wanted to do is be in it! So as we are spending time outside in this nice weather, we have to take several minutes to just play in Daddy's new truck. So this morning when we were all leaving home to start our day, I had to snap a quick pic of Daddy and his girl. They just happen to be wearing matching pink shirts too! We have the BEST Daddy in the World!! ; )
