25 Weeks

25 weeks, 3 days

Double Graduation

Both Brian's sister and my little brother graduated from college this year.  Luckily they go to the same school :)   So we made one trip out to Norman and packed our short weekend with 2 graduations and double the family time.  It was a little hectic going back and forth between the 2 families but we had fun getting to spend time with everyone and celebrating both Cathey and Jeremy!

(Lots of pictures ahead)

 Miles and his buddy, Papa

We haven't all been together since this wedding 2 years ago.  So of course we knocked out a few family pictures

 (happy 99% of the time... but when he gets upset- so dramatic)

Lots of giggles over potty humor

 (Kyle was really into the ceremony)

Now the Beam family side....

 all the kids... minus Mark :(

 we tried to get pics with E-man... but he was much more into exploring!

When we walked around campus he was ONLY interested in walking the stroller.  

When we stopped moving- meltdown! :)

 Cathey and her fiance, Brent.

 Cathey was hooded with her Doctorate of Physical Therapy and Jeremy got his BS in Petroleum Engineering.
We're so proud of our smart family!!!

22 Weeks

May 4th - 22 Weeks

Babymoon in Hawaii!

{April 27th - May 1st}

We found a great package deal to go to Hawaii awhile ago and booked the trip with our good friends Dave and Cortney.  It was only 5 days but was easier to justify since we didn't have to take many vacation days at work (and we'll be needing all of those when Baby Beam comes).  We stayed at the Westin on Maui and it was gorgeous!  We had perfect weather the whole time.  We spent most of the days just relaxing and hanging out at the pool or beach.  Brian wanted to do a few more 'active' things like hike to exotic waterfalls, surf, paddle board, etc but that just wasn't happening with this big baby belly.  Plus, it was hard to fit a lot in in just a few days.  Our little babymoon couldn't have come at a better time and we're already planning when we can go back!
