Baby makes 5!

I'm happy to finally announce that after a year of trying we are finally expecting our 3rd baby making it the 5th Beckwith family member! I guess this is why god found a family for little Victoria. Our baby is Due the beginning of Feb of 2010 but I will be delivering it via C-section late Jan most likely. We dont know if its a boy or girl yet, but we do know that theres only 1 in there now. So far the pregnancy hasn't been too terrible, a breeze compared to the twins but still suffered from morning sickness. :( Darin was a big help and am so glad he hasnt been deployed this time around. He wakes up every morning he doesnt work and takes care of the boys for me so I can sleep in. For 3 months straight he cooked me breakfast since I was too sick to make anything, even though It never stayed down it was the thought that counted.
The baby is measuring correctly for its gestational age and everything. I get my second part of the Sequential Screening done in a couple weeks to rule out chromosomal defects (which we all know I would see as a blessing!) We do know that this pregnancy is high risk again. Our baby this time around has a single umbilical artery which can cause some heart and kidney problems. But I have a few friends that experienced this with their babies and they are completely healthy so I am not too worried about it. On a positive note I get more ultrasounds than the average!

This is me at 15 weeks. I looked back and this is about the size I was with the twins around 11ish weeks! I'm glad my belly won't be freakishly huge this time around! This will be the last time I'll ever be 15 weeks pregnant. We are hoping to only adopt after this little peanut!

O Ke Aloha Ka'iu

This years family family vacation took us to Oahu, HI! It was the best family vacation we have had so far. We stayed for 7nights, 8days right on the Waikiki beach, then went straight to SLC Utah to visit Darins family. Although the flights were very long, the boys did great! I have to say the portable DVD players are a life saver. While we were in Hawaii I think we did every possible touristee thing possible since it was Darin and the boys first time there. The boys loved going to the beach everyday and splashing in the water, and now that were back home in WA they still try and get into the freezing Puget Sound. lol




Such handsome little beach boys.





A true daddys boy. He was glued to his daddy most of the trip even when daddy was trying to get a little sun.


Me and Peyton enjoying the water.



Didnt really think he was going to take a picture.




Our visit to the Pearl Harbor site.



Of course we had to go to Davins favorite restaurant Hooters. Hes only 18 months but he sure knows when were at Hooters.



Davin wasnt shy about making friendly with the hawaiian girls. He actually wouldnt come back to us for quite some time after this picture was taken. It was also in front of a very large audience so he put on quite a show.



On the Waikiki strip.




Davin and I at the Halona Blowhole. Davin loved the wind!


The Beckwith family in Hawaii!


We got to meet up with a very close high school friend of mine and got to finally meet her gorgeous kids, Elle and Rocky in Salt Lake City, UT.




Peyton preferred riding on the suitcase instead of his stroller.

Our Seattle Outing.

Since we have had such a weird and bad winter we jumped on the first nice day in a while and headed to Seattle for a long fun filled day! We took the ferry to the Seattle Aquarium and spent the day just walking the piers, something we used to always do before the boys were born. I'm glad the boys have come to the age where they enjoy new surroundings.
Daddy and his mini me. Their inseperable.


One of the most beautiful winter days in rainy Washington.

On the Ferry ride.


Between the seagulls flying overhead and the wind Davin was having a blast!

Always together!


Dont know how much longer they'll fit in one swing.

They have never loved anything so much! They really thought that they were "driving!"

2009 has started off great for us. I started school back up after taking a nice quarter off. Darin has moved off a med/surg ward onto a nice admin floor (something he's been wanting for a while.) Davin has started talking a ton, and Peyton is running around everywhere! I cant wait to see what this year will bring! Maybe a baby overseas? A girl can only hope!
Daddy and his daddy's boys. (Big time daddy's boy)
I wish my little Davin was still a mama's boy.



Daddy teaching Davin how to color.

Davin loves cheering on his brother. :)


They always try to call daddy when hes at work.


even if its not with a phone.

Goodbye 2008.

New Years kiss!!!

Happy New Years

Me and my best friend Christina.

Jeff, Christina, Me and Darin.


Our future QB

Zoo Lights 2008



They play so well with mama

We got the boys 2 Elmo chairs and only Davin will sit in it.

Reece's Rainbow

I was hoping Santa would bring me a special little girl from Reece's Rainbow but she found a family of her own I believe. Family and friends know how badly I want to adopt a child with DS. I'm not convinced that our family is complete quit yet. Until it is I'll keep praying.

Christmas 2008

For the first time in over 3 years Darin was home for the holidays!! We had the best Christmas we could have ever had, we had a white Christmas, we spoiled our kids rotten, Darin was chosen by a magazine to thank for his service and got a few gifts, and we got eachother perfect gifts!


The boys were more excited about the wrapping paper thrown about than they were with their new toys, lol.


We bought the boys each an Elmo spin chair and although Davin loves it like he does everything, Peyton is scared out of his mind of it. lol


Since my family went on vacation for the holidays we were fortunate enough to make it down to my God families for Christmas. We had to put the chains on to get out of our neighborhood but we made it to the Wrights home.

The boys all glued to the PS3, even little Peyton.


My best friend Christina since birth flew in from Japan for the holidays.
