Normal Day in the life of the Beasley Family

This post is mainly for Grandma's and Grandpa's. I wanted them to see what we're doing throughout the day or at least the evening. For those of you that aren't Grandma's or Grandpa's, please feel free to check us out. Heck if you're feeling bold post a comment. Don't be shy. You all know you get giddy when you see someone has posted a comment. I do! I'll see someone has posted a comment and I drag Maria away from whatever she is doing so she can come see the comment. We even have a "we've got a comment dance." You know you all have one be honest.

Anyways, here is Madyson and Maycee in our backyard. Yes they are screaming, they wouldn't be Madyson and Maycee if they weren't. You know they have dog collars that shock dogs when they bark....? Teaches them to not scream...I mean bark.

They are pretty cute though when they play together. They are even cute when they don't, but really cute when they do.

So here is a tree. Maria will tell you it is a weed. I think it is a tree. It was growing in our front flower bed. The leaves look just like a tree we had in our back yard when I lived with my parents. So I dug it out and planted it in the back yard. (As I write Maria is yelling to me, "it is not a TREE, I'll just tell you!") Yeah well we'll see about that.

We fed the Elders tonight so we have 7 spots at the table. Not sure what we're going to do when we need another spot. Probably buy a new table...duh Ryan.

This is Maria's famous "Sweet and Sour Spam." Can't knock it unless you try it. It is good and very healthy to one's soul. If you'd like I can have Maria post the recipe for you on the blog.


These are the "Elders." Elder Glenn and Elder Ale. Some of you may know them as Mormon Missionaries or Jehovah Witnesses. They aren't Jehovah Witnesses just so you know. They are Mormons. Elder Ale has just been told he is going to eat Sweet and Sour Spam. He ended up eating three helpings.

This is how you water the lawn in Kansas. Most people that read this are in Utah, where the grass is green because everyone has a sprinkling system. Utah is a desert by the way. In Kansas we do our best to keep the grass green. When it stops raining about this time every year people just let their lawns die. Not because we don't care, but water here is double or triple what is costs in the desert, I mean Utah. Not sure why, just how it is.

Carter being a little boy, he sees dirt so he plays in it. For some reason he eats it, I am I boy and I don't remember eating dirt. I'm sure it never happened.

Maria taking it easy after a long day of cleaning up the house, taking the kids to swim lessons, feeding the kids, playing volleyball for 2 and a half hours, coming home, getting the kids in order, making a meal, cleaning it up, and being 21 weeks pregnant. She is awesome and I couldn't make it in life without her. She is a great strength to me and I love her. She makes our family go round. :)
