Daniel just loves his bubble maker for the tub that I just got him. He grabs them in the air, studies them, splashes them in the tub......it is just a hoot to watch.
The girls are feeling better. Emmie was given an inhaler to use if she feels like she can't breathe well. Sophia seems to be getting back to her old spicy self as well. Mommy is now sick. I have no voice, coughing, stuffy nose.....you know the drill. Back and neck are currently killing me. Still trying to get that under control.
The Boy actually ate a strawberry the other day. I couldn't believe it. However, I must hold it and he comes and takes bites. If the bite is too big, he spits it out. ~sigh~ We're getting there.
He also tried my blueberry breakfast bar. He didn't really like it but I told him to chew it up and he did. No more bites were taken. Go figure. At least he didn't spit it out all over me. Progress!
Sophia decided this week that Daniels hair needed some improvement. While they were playing in his room, she decided to add lotion and vaseline to his hair. Can you say grease pit? I have washed and washed and washed! We have an appointment on Saturday. I think we are going to have to get it cut out! ~sigh~ Good thing I have a sense of humor!
3 weeks until Maui......oh my achin' word......I can't wait!
Yes, another blog change. lol I made several up a few weeks ago.....I like change......I'm always changing things here at home as well. It lifts my spirits! ;) Brings out my creative side.
Trying to decide what to do with the hair at my next appointment. I'm tired of being blonde. My hair is actually as dark as Daniels....if not darker. The fam always freaks out when I change it. I can't even begin tell you how tempted I am to dye it jet black......stay tuned......you'll have to wait til we are in Maui for the update! HA!
We joined the health club as a family. I will be taking Sophia on Wednesday's to her "Tromper's" class and on Fridays Daniel will be going to his "Wrigglers" class. Should be interesting. I'm excited to have a one on one day out with each of them. Emmie and I will go to work out after school everyday, and she is also going to take private tennis lesson's at least twice a week.
Thank you once again for your kind comments and concern for my Things. I could feel your prayers and I am grateful.

I cannot believe you did not take a picture of that Vaseline head!!!
I bet you are excited about Maui. You very much deserve a break.
I recall a Hawaii trip last year, let's saaayyyyy around April 1st and a certain Mommy Thing FOOLED all of us with fake whining from the island! ; )
Love the bubble pics : ) So happy they are all feeling better and your trip is close!
Glad to hear that things are getting better :)
oh an update! I am glad you felt like blogging a little :)
The vaseline: have you tried dr pepper or sprite, I have heard both will cut it. Or try degreaser from the cleaning aisle at the store just be really careful and not use very much.
I love the bubble maker wow haven't seen one! cute cute pics and I am so glad Mr Daniel did not get sick, wonderful.
Beautiful blog template :)
LOVE THE NEW LOOK!!!!! :)
So glad to see things are looking up with the tribe. However, sorry to hear that you are now sick! Tyler's been sick twice this past month and I'm haven't been yet... (crossing fingers!) About your hair, I was just in that same boat! Blonde is SO hard to keep up girl...I totally understand! I only really like it on me in the summer when I'm sporting a nice tan! haha I think you will look beautiful anyway you have your hair! I'm planning on coming out to the compound sometime next week. Maybe Monday or Tuesday? Let me know when you will be around. I really would like to see you and the things! Ok, this is getting long. Hugs to you!
(PS...I hate you for going to Maui...and I hate the boys for going to FL next week!) I WANT WARM WEATHER!!!!!!!!! ;)
Love the new look!
Oh my! Briana would LOVE the bubble maker! What kind is it? Love the pics!

Have a Wonderful Evening..
Can't wait to see gymnastics pictures...

Glad everyone is feeling better and still praying for you and for Emmie's school situation.
We LOVE the bubble blower in the bathtub. Last year I couldn't take Emma in public for several months and we used the bathtub as a pool!
I really know how you feel about your hair. I am sick of highlighting my hair AND the cost of doing it. BUT my hair is so fine I really need to continue to have SOME body in it. I too have thought of going to my natural color....whatever that is!
Those are great pictures with Daniel and the bubble maker. I want one.
Jet Black hair. Should be interesting. Can't wait to see it it happens.
Toddler classes sound fun. Enjoy!!!
Hey Stef!
Daniel looks to be having the time of his life! :) So things around your home are getting better. The exercise will help with the everyday stresses so joining the gym will be some fun!! We joined the new Y that was just built. Great fun! Anna loves to swim and sobs when it's time to get outta da pool. :(
Have fun in Maui!
Glad to hear things are better with the things.I was so waiting to hear that Sophia decided that her brother needed a hair cut.I guess it is a good thing she only did what she did do.

I am so glad you are back. I have been wondering how you are doing.
Lea
So it is making its way thru the tribe.....Darn germs. Get better quick, my friend. I used Day Quil to just get thru the days.
Looks like the bubble machine is a hit!
I envy your talent with changing the look of your blog. I still just experiment.
Well, glad the things are doing so well. You get rested up gor that trip!
I love the new look. The colors are really nice together.
Ok, on the hair, go dark. come on you can do it.
love the new look! The bubble pictures are adorable!!! So happy the kids are feeling better : ) I love to change my hair. I just cut off several inches ; 0 I lighten my hair in the summer and make it dark in the winter.....change is good! Can't wait to see your new look!
I need more info. on that bathtub bubble blower - Lily is getting tired of waiting for summer to blow those things!
Your blog looks great.
Glad the girls are feeling better -hope you join them SOON.
Yay for Hawaii. I'm sure it can't come soon enough.
Cool about joining the healthclub. that will be great for all of you.
And, you could certainly go darker with your hair (especially since you will soon have a really nice tan!)
Talk to you soon.
XO
Steffie:
My son had alot of the same eating issues that your son has. Have you spoken to an OT about oral motor/sensory treatments. It has worked wonders for Ethan in a fairly short period of time. If you want more info plese contact me via my blog.
Warmly,
Lori
Oh that Daniel is the cutest little boy I have ever seen. He just has the sweetest expression and I love hearing about all that he does. He cracks me up. I love the bubble blower. Must have one for daughter #2. Do tell where you got it.
I am so jealous you are going to Maui. You will have a blast and I pray that you all have a lovely time of rest and relaxation. Emmie is in my prayers.
It really wouldn't matter what you did with your hair, you always look fab!!!
I would have loved to have seen the vaseline hair do. Oh, I also love the new blog look. Are you and Kimberley in a contest to see who can change their blog look the most? HAHA. I do love change too.
I will put one of Mallory's gigantic hair bows in the mail to you. :)
I'm so happy everyone is feeling better, sorry that you're sick now. I totally get it about being tired of being blonde...I'm starting to think about changing too! I love the new blog. Daniel looks like he is having so much fun. You lucky duck...Maui!!!!!!
Sounds like fun. I hate that you're sick though. Glad the girls are better. I know you are dying to get to Maui! Yes, I'm green.
cute bubble pics

Ahhh - the life of a mom - have to smile over here - I remember a day when our cat had Desitin diaper ointment all over it - yes, the boys were "helping" - But hey, I didn't get a trip to Maui to help my nerves!!!! Enjoy - sounds wonderful!! LOVE the new look!!
I love Maui!!! I hope you have a blast!!! I hate to hear that you are sick now. I hope you get better very quickly!! Take care of your back and neck too!!
Debbie
love the new blog look ... i am also about change, but have no idea how to change my blog ... oh well ... i am thinking a chestnut brown like mine would be so cool ... we could be sisters ... hee hee hee ...
glad everyone is better, we are also on the mend well here too ... love ya and can't wait for the next visit ... give emmie a big hug from me !!
I just love the new look!!! Love the picutres of the boy with his bubbles.
When you stated with Sophia decided Daniel needed some improvement I was so waiting for the "She cut his hair" I was relevied to read it was just lotion and vaseline!
Maui sounds like Music to my ears! You need to RELAX!
That bubble maker thingey is SUCH a great idea! My kids would LOVE that!
Are the bubbles coming out of that little Noah's Ark? Where did you get it? Eli would love that.
I am so sorry to hear that you have now caught the flu bugs on top of your neck pain.
I am happy that you are going to be able to sit on a beach in Maui soon.
Just got caught up with your blog. Glad the things are feeling better and hope you are soon too!
Try putting baby powder to the effected areas. It binds to the grease and then washes out with shampoo :)
Love the bubble pictures - he is such a little cutie with the greatest expressions.
As for the hair... Keep the scissors out of the way... That is usually the next step and we wouldn't want Daniel to get Sophia back.
Sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well... Hope you feel better soon - Just think Maui!!!
Ugh, I've been away too long. I didn't realize you guys were battling that flu stuff. I hope all are feeling better. And you better get better before that Hawaii trip. The bubble pictures are too cute!!
Glad to hear the kidlings are feeling better, hopefully you will be soon as well. I bet Maui is looking better than inviting these days! Hope you have a blast.
Ps. Love the bubble pictures, he is so cute.
So good to hear most everyone is better, now hopefully you can have a chance to take care of Mom! Love your blog, it is always fun to check in on the Beckerings! I did laugh out loud at Miss Sophia's beauty treatments. Anna only covered her baby doll in lotion, a little brother would be way more fun! Try some baking soda mixed with water to make a paste, put in his hair for a couple of minutes then rinse and shampoo. One of my boys got lots of Sunscreen then sand in their hair and it worked pretty well getting that out.
Now where does one find a tub bubble maker? Inquiring minds want to know!
Glad you are all better:)
