Labor Day {Lake Chicot}

My Uncle Terry and Aunt Kristi recently bought a house on Lake Chicot, and they so graciously invited the whole family out for Labor Day! It was such a beautiful day!

Uncle John taking Beckett down to the dock...

The kids all had a blast playing together...especially on this super fun slide my cousin Bill created!

Brody taking a turn!



This is such a Beckett look ;)

There's that smile!

Levi enjoying playing in Aunt Kathy's lap!

Me and my Daddy!

Beckett even took a turn on the boogie board! He isn't quite the dare devil that Brody is, so he really had to work up the nerve to try, but I think he enjoyed it!

Beckett and Kingston enjoyed playing together, too!

Baby Dude has got it made.

So thankful Brent was off and could join us as well! Isn't the view from their house just beautiful?!

We also celebrated my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary while we were there. 60 years! I think that is just so amazing. I am so thankful for the example that these two people are in my life. I can only pray that Brent and I will have the same kind of relationship they have when we have been married 60 years. Only 53 to go! Ha!

The grands and great-grands that were there that day :)

My kids love my cousin Bill (they call him Bobby)!

This is Levi with my great Aunt Nelda. She is just the neatest funniest lady! Love her!

After grilling, eating, visiting, sliding, resting, and playing, we ended the day with a little boat fun!

Layla, Kenleigh, and Brody LOVE Big Mable!!!! And they're no wimpy riders either! They want to go fast and the more they are slung around, the better!

Sweet Beckett mostly just observed from the boat ;)

It's days like these I realize how blessed I am to have such a big, fun, loving family!

Beckett's Party at the Park!

This year for Beckett's party, we went easy peasy. A party at the park! He loves to play here, and the party entertainment was provided, so it was a win-win for both of us!

Beckett and his Pawpaw - one of his biggest buddies these days.

Now that Levi is walking, he is such a pleasure to take to the park! He was always a filthy mess when he was scooting everywhere, but not anymore!

Aunt Carrie, Uncle Tony, and Michaele came in from Fayetteville, so they were here for the party!

Layla and Brody

Sweet Lux! I could just kiss those cheeks!

Jaxon, Jon Tyler, and Sammy came to play!

Brooke and Morgan

Ashleigh

Brooke and Lukey

After the kids played for a bit, I noticed the cupcakes were melting, so we sang happy birthday and ate cupcakes!

Then it was time to open gifts!!

I am so glad our big three year old had a fun party!

Beckett Webb {3 Years Old}

Beckett, you turned three years old last week!! I can't believe it's been three years since God gave you to us to love, and I became a mama of two. Two little boys to love. Two little boys to hold my heart. (Boy, if I only knew what was coming, huh?!)

I don't even know where to begin. You are an amazing little boy, and you absolutely have us in the palm of your little hand.

You are a BIG eater! And there isn't much you don't like! Everything is your "favorite" and you are constantly asking me "Whatcha cookin' me, Mama?".

You wear 3T clothes, size 9 shoe, and weigh about 32 lbs.

You sleep by yourself (well...with Mr Tiger) in yours and Brody's queen size bed. He started sleeping in the extra bed in Levi's nursery a few weeks ago because he says you won't let him go to sleep. You like to sing and talk and wiggle and flop yourself to sleep, and your brother decided you just needed your space ;) You sleep all night and usually wake up around 7. So glad you finally sleep past 5:30am!

I am LOVING having more alone time with you while Brody is at Kindergarten. We miss him terribly, but I'm so glad we let you stay home this year and didn't send you to Mothers Day Out or preschool or anything. There's plenty of time for that! I love being home with you! You make me laugh and keep me hopping. You bring so much joy to my day! And you melt me with your "I love you"s and your "hold you"s.

You are such a great big brother to Levi. He loves you so much and I can tell you two are getting so much closer. I love watching you play together. You sometimes get a little too rough with him, but we are working on it :)

Beckett, I always want you to know that we praise God every day for healing you. You were a very sick little baby when you were just 2 weeks old. I'll never forget the fear and helplessness I felt. And to honest, in the darkest hours of your hospital stay, we wondered if we'd ever get to see you turn three. There's not a day that goes by that I don't look at you and remember. Remember how blessed we are to have you.

We love you to the moon and back, Beckett Man!!!! Happy 3rd birthday!!!!!
