Turtle Ranger Bobby

Today Bobby, Grandma, and Jason went on a turtle walk. Grandma is a volunteer turtle ranger in FL. Once a week she walks a mile stretch of the beach at sun rise looking for sea turtle nests and marking them. She is teaching Bobby everything she knows so that he will have respect for these beautiful endangered animals. They were very lucky to find two nest this morning and Bobby helped mark them. I am so proud of my little ranger in training. My boys are having a great time swimming at the beach and the pool.

Go Braves!!! and More

Last Wednesday, we took Bobby to his first Braves game. It was MDA night and we were there to support the cause and have a family night out. It was a great game against the Mets. The Braves won 11-4. I taught Bobby how to do the Tomahawk Chop. It was so cute to see him with my Dad watching the game.

I wish I could say that he liked watching the game but he was more excited by the big drum. We sat in left field right by the drum. He thought it was so cool to go see the top of the drum with Jason.

In other news the school year is finally over and I am enjoying the time off. Now I am just waiting for the arrive of my sweet little girl. She and I doing great and go back to the doctor on June 2. Look for an update then.

Bobby and I spent the weekend at the lake with my family. We had so much fun that I forgot to take pictures. Sorry!!

Bobby and Jason are leaving today for FL to visit Grandma and Grandpa while I will stay home for some R & R.

Great Strides 2008

Today we joined the Goodrow Gang for the annual Great Strides walk to raise money to help fight CF. Their daughter, Elena is fighting this disease. She is a very special young lady and is one of Bobby's favorite people. We had a wonderful time and loved being able to give back in this way. Bobby and Elena had a wonderful time riding in the wagon together and playing at the picnic after the walk.
Even Elena's little brother, Ethan, was having a great time watching all the people.

It is not to late to help us fight CF. We will continue to raise money until the end of the year. Every $0.94 that is raised goes directly to research and helping families with children with CF.

If you need more inspiration please go to Goodrow Gang blog and watch the CF video Julie made.

Happy Mother's Day!!

Happy Mother's Day to our Moms. We love you very much. Thanks for caring so much for our little dude. We are very lucky to have you.

"Happy Mother's Day" Means More

Than have a happy day.

Within those words lie lots of things

We never get to say.
It means I love you first of all,

Then thanks for all you do.

It means you mean a lot to me,

And that I honor you.
But most of all, I guess it means

That I am thinking of Your happiness on this, your day,

With pleasure and with love.

Where does the time go?

The end of the school year gets very busy for a teacher. It feels like time flys. I am sorry that it has taken me so long to update the blog. The Beckman's have been very busy and having tons of fun. Jason and I were very lucky to be invited by the Goodrow's to the Wine and Roses Gala for CF on April 26th. We had a great time on our first date together in a long time.
On May4th, we went to Carl Miller Park in Newnan to celebrate Zachary Peavyhouse's 1st birthday. Bobby had a great time playing with all the kids and eating the cake. He had one and half pieces. It was a really cool park and we will have to go back next time we are South of the city.
Happy 1st Birthday!!! Zachary!!!!
After the party, the Denton's, Hauert's and us had prayer group. We said the rosary and prayed for all of our friends and family. David, Drew and Bobby had a great time playing togther and climbing on the picnic tables.

There is only 8 more days of school for my students and 10 for me. I am looking forawrd to the end of the year. It is my hope to spend more time doing some fun activities with Bobby before the baby comes. I also hope to keep up better with updating the blog.
