Nugget News and Beckett's Fun Fall

We had our 20 week ultrasound of the twins yesterday and it was amazing!  They are big and healthy and everything looks great...which was the best news we could get :)  Another exciting piece of news is that we found out we are having a boy and a girl! Beckett gets a brother and a sister...lucky little dude!  We are so excited for what our future holds! Check out some ultrasound pictures as well as some of our fun fall activities!

Baby A is our girl

 Here's both of our nuggets snuggling :)

 Driving the tractor...just like Boompa's!

 Loving that apple and Daddy of course!

20 Months and Going to be a Big Brother!

Beckett is 20 months old and is growing like crazy!  Every day he picks up a new word or phrase.  It has been an absolute joy watching him grow up into a fabulous little boy!  We are sure that he will be the most amazing big brother in the world...which is great because he will be a big brother to TWO siblings in February! That's right...we are expecting twins!  We broke the news to friends and family at the end of August.  We are so excited to welcome two little nuggets into our family.  Enjoy some pics below! :)

This is how we told the Facebook world our big news...

Twin A

Twin B

 Both Little Nuggets :)

18 Months & South Dakota Family Reunion

Today was Beckett's 18 Month doctor's appointment.  He weighed in at 35 pounds and 36 inches long! The doctor predicted that Beckett will be at least 6'4" but thinks he'll probably end up closer to 6'6"...As you can imagine, it was no surprise to us to hear he was going to be a tall boy. :) On another note, last weekend we had the Jansen family reunion in Aberdeen, South Dakota.  We ended up flying to Aberdeen, thus Beckett had his first plane ride!  He did great and we learned that the secret to a successful toddler flight is the iPad and lots of snacks! :) The reunion itself was great. It took place at Wylie Park/Storybook land which was a fun little amusement park.  It was wonderful to spend time with the Jansen family.  Check out some pics...

 A little pre-flight meal at the DQ airport.  He's dipping toast in honey mustard...hey, whatever works!

4th of July Oooooohh.....

It has been way too long since our last post, but we are back!  The last few months have been great!  Josh and I have the best summer schedule EVER...we get to hang out with Beckett 24/7! We spent a week at the cabin for the 4th of July, and had a great time.  Beckett loves the cabin just as much as we do, which is awesome.  We are looking forward to many more fun cabin times this summer!

A little daddy time 

Boating with Boompa!

Cousins!

4 Wheeling!

 Playing on the beach with the cuzzies!

 Playing with cousin Henrik...Yes, we are so cool, we wear our sunglasses in the house :)

 First tube ride with daddy!

One of our favorite quirks that Beckett has is that when he sees something new or exciting or something he likes (especially food) he "oooohhhhs!"  It is truly the most endearing little thing, and we have been meaning to catch it on film for months.  We finally got two good videos...both "food ooohs" of course.    

First Batting Practice & First Haircut!

It has been an exciting week for Beckett.  This past weekend he got an early Easter present...his first t-ball set!  I bet you can guess who picked it out :).  Daddy was very excited to have Beckett's first "batting practice."  It is definitely his new favorite toy.  As an added bonus...he can now say ball, bat, and tee! Another exciting event happened yesterday; Beckett's first haircut!  He was especially lucky because his Titi Jin cut his hair.  You'll see from the pictures below that Beckett was less than thrilled; however, Titi Jin showed her pro skills by getting the cut done lightning fast...and it looks amazing!  He looks so grown up with his little boy coif! Thanks Titi Jin! 

The first batting practice...

Looking real woolly pre-cut...

 This isn't so bad...

 Wait, I take that back...what's going on?

 Hey...

Noooooo!

OK, this isn't so bad...I can do this!

The results are in...amazing!

 Playing with cuzzies...post cut!
Three in the bed and the little on said...no more haircuts!
