a beautiful heart

tonight i was putting the boys to bed and isaiah goes "mom, tanner said that the birthday party that he went to today was better then mine"....so i go "tanner, that's not nice, tell your brother you're sorry for saying that", so tanner apologized and they went to bed..........about 5 minutes later i hear tanner crying, so i go to his bed to see what is wrong with him and he goes " i feel really sad that i hurt by best friend's feelings" first of all i think that it is so wonderful that he is calling his brother his best friend, and second that he feels sad that he hurt his feelings. he wasn't crying because he got in trouble, he was crying cause he knew that he had made is brother sad. i was so overcome with emotion that i started crying too. so i said " tanner i am so thankful for the heart that God gave you"....

happy 32nd bday to my hubby!!

yesterday was seth's 32nd bday. on sunday we went down to san clemente with some friends and family and then last night we went to 'lucille's bbq' in brea. i let the boys go to target and each pick their daddy a gift. hayden picked out a 'flash' shirt, so seth wore it last night. isaiah and tanner picked out running clothes. we had a great time. happy birthday seth!!!

soccer season

soccer season officaly began in the beasley household this past weekend. we have two beasley boys playing this year. so now our saturday's our filled with games, and i love it. tanner is playing boys u-6 and his team name is 'white lightning'. isaiah is playing boys u-8 and his team name is 'demons' (not our first choice for the name but the coach picked it and we did not really have a say). both boys are doing really well. isaiah has really blossomed into a fast little forward, and tanner is really agressive. i had the privlege of referring tanner's first game, and let me tell you it was really hard to not be bias. every time our team would score i would clap my hands and scream and then i had to go 'oh wait i am the ref, i probably shouldn't do that'. but it's so hard when it's your kid out there . we are looking forward to a good season.

Tanner the photographer

tanner loves to take pictures. the other day he got a hold of my camera and when i downloaded the pictures i found about 20 pictures of hayden. ha ha ha....also, i found one that he took of his bed after he made it all by himself. what a good boy :)

Disney Half Marathon Sept. 3rd, 2007

On september 3rd i ran the disneyland half marathon. it was my very first half. my goal time was 2 hours but i ended up running 2:15. i was very happy with my time considering i was the very last heat to go behind 14,000 people and it was 90 degrees out with 85% humidity. i don't think i had ever been that sweaty before in my whole life. i had a great run, and i hope to do another one soon.

isaiah's first day of second grade

isaiah started second grade today. i can't believe how old his is getting. time has flown by so fast. he was so funny about me taking this picture. last year and the year before i took a picture with him in front of his class room door. but no not this year. we had to be out on the street where no one could see us, and i was definatley not allowed to be in the picture...ha ha ha...and he is only 7! what will it be like when he is 13????

camping at san clemente state beach

for our last summer outing we went camping to san clemente state beach with our good friends the clark's. it is always fun going with them cause they have three boys the same age as our boys. 6 boys running around!!! we had so much fun.

isaiah the fashion designer

the other day isaiah decided that he wanted to be a fashion designer cause 'he knows all about fashion'. he decided that he was going to dress himself, me, and tanner to show off his skills. this is what we wore.

Hayden Turned 3!!!!!!

we have a family tradition of a bday donut. on your bday you get a bday donut on a special plate and we all sing 'happy bday'

On August 23rd our little smooshie turned 3. We celebrated with a few friends at chuck e cheese. Hayden is such joy to have in our family. He is definatley our little comedian. He makes us laugh all day long. The boys absolutely adore him. Every single morning they can't wait for him to wake up (he likes to sleep in), they both cheer when he comes out of his room :) He loves to dress up, and play with his brothers. His favorite super hero right now is 'Flash'. He got a 'Flash' costume for his bday and has worn it every day. He has no fear. He is only 3 but acts like a 7 year old. He really has no trouble keeping up with his brothers. He loves, loves to cuddle. As long as he has his mimi and his thumb he could cuddle for hours. We love it and sometimes fight over who gets to cuddle him. We love Hayden so much and feel so blessed to call him our son.

this past weekend we went camping at carpinteria state beach 12 miles south of santa barbara. all together there were 9 families, between all of us 20 kids. we had such great time. this was by far the best beach camping we have ever done. we were literally right on the beach which was awesome. the weather was perfect and the time we had with friends was most enjoyable. it was a great weekend :)

My 30th Birthday

Seth and I

D and I

Gina and I

Me, Seth, Corrie, Andy, Alissa, Justin

I had the most amazing 30th birdthday ever! It started in July when I went to New York with my mom and my aunt. Then two days before my bday (which is 8/1) we went out for a big family dinner to celebrate mine and katie's bday (katie's is 8/3). Then on my actual bday my mom and i took the boys to wild rivers, then that night we all went to fashion island for dinner and shopping and then to balboa island for dessert (my perfect evening, ha ha). Then saturday 8/4 I woke up and went on a 10 mile run, when I got back my girlfriends (corrie, dawnielle, gina, darcey, and alissa) were waiting at my house with breakfast made. It was awesome! After breakfast we went and got manicures and pedicures and they gave me a gift certificate for a massage at burke williams (can't wait to go ). That night seth had planned a huge birtday bash for me at the District Lounge in Old towne orange. We went out to dinner and then dancing at the District until 1am. It was so much fun. About 30 friends were there and we danced all night. it was the best birthday ever!!!!

this is our second summer going up to hume lake with the trivison family. hume lake is in the beautiful seqouia mountains up above fresno. it is a christian camp and it just so happened to be that our highschool group from church was up there. we had a wonderful week enjoying God's creation, family, and friends.

duffy boat

seth and i went on a duffy boat around the newport harbor with our good friends (chad, jenny, razi, dawnielle, corrie, and andy). it was a fun night of good food, good friends, and no kids :)

Tanner turns 5!

this year for tanner's bday we had an all boy's slumber party, including my boys there were 9 boys in our house. tanner had so much fun. he had a permanent smile on his face the whole night. looking back at tanner's last year he has grown up so much. he is definatley still our shy one but he is really coming into his own. he and seth LOVE to wrestle. tanner could probably wrestle 24/7. we say that it is his love language :) he loves to dress up and play with his friends. it's funny watching he and his friends play because sometimes for two hours there won't be one conversation. their play consists of wrestling and costume wearing. tanner still really looks up to isaiah. they have a very special relationship. his is still our snuggler even now that he is 5, he loves to come in our bed in the morning and cuddle right next to us. he is also an excellent artist. he loves to draw super heros. i think his favorite is superman, but it is always changing. he just started to play soccer, i think he is going to be really good. out of all three tanner is our braveset one. he will go on any ride as long as he is tall enough. we love our tanner john and we are so proud of him

Fun times at the OC Fair

this year we went to the oc fair and had a really good time. we saw the crash up derby (which was seth's favorite), isaiah ate a fried snickers bar, and the boys rode a lot of fun rides. we came home very full and exhausted.

New York City

Eating at Carnegie Deli at 55th and 7th. Best pastrami sandwich ever!!

We went to the Broadway musical Hairspray. This was definatley one of the hightlights of the trip. Amazing show!

Lunch at the Boathouse in Central Park. My mom was in love with our waiter (ha ha ha!)

for my 30th birthday my mom, aunt, and i took a girls trip to new york city. we had such a good time. we did everything that you can possibly imagine. we took in all the sights and walked as far as our legs could carry us. it was a very enjoyable week, and i will forever cherish the memories :)

4th of july

we had our annual block party on 4th of july. we rented a bounce house waterslide, bbq'd, and watched fireworks. the boys had fun playing outside ALL day!

swimming lessons

the boys are taking swimming lessons every day for four weeks this summer. it's nice cause the pool is right down the street from our house, so we walk down there every morning. the boys are such great swimmers. isaiah is in a higher level learning to do the different strokes. tanner is learning free style and is doing great. smooshie is in level one and is by far the youngest in his class. he is 2 1/2 and most the kids in his class are 4 or 5. he is such a little fish and is swimming great. he just needs to learn to lift his head up for air :) every friday is 'diving board' day. it is definatley the high light of their week :) i am so proud of all of them. they are all doing awesome!
