Rock n Roll Baby!

Here's a cute little jam session that I captured last night! Dashy loves playing rockband with his buddy Elmo! What's even more cute is that both boys are dressed in their matching Elmo pjs!

Camden Boos and Dashy are truly turning into such good little buddies! Jeremy and I are now noticing that we are able to go longer periods of time before we have to "break it up" between them.

This time of year is so fun as our back yard really lends itself toward hours of playtime. The boys love running around and playing on our beautiful playground. We have also moved our daily dance parties outside so I can get in on the fun too! The colors of fall are so vibrant this year and we're soaking up as much time outdoors as possible!

Cam is still obsessed with cars...and Dashy is joining in on the cars love as well! So fun watching the two of them play TOGETHER!!

We are gearing up for a LONG trip to Iowa in a few weeks. It's been a great while since the boys have seen Grandma and Papa, Aunt Jamie, Uncle Cory and all of the cousins so we are anxious to arrive! I know that Jeremy's Mom is going to just melt when she gets her hands on our babies!

Hope everyone is enjoying this Autumn season as much as we are!

So Much Love!

This Boys Got The Beat

It's been awhile since I've posted anything...
The Boos Brothers had a busy October filled with fun and celebration!

From Mimi and Grandaddy's vist, Dashy's 2nd Birthday Party, The Pumpkin Patch, a visit from my very dear fun and silly college friend, Amanda and her family, to our Trick or Treat Extravaganza! What a truly fun and whirlwind month!

This video not only makes me laugh out loud, but marvel at our little Firework!

Effective January 2012, Dashy will no longer be in therapy! Due to his extreme growth and success, sweet Bleu has been released from weekly gross motor therapy sessions and we couldn't be more thrilled, proud, and relieved!

I'm also very impressed with Dash's concept of rhythm this early in his life. Not certain if his musicality is typical, but I sure do love watching his body movements change as the beat or rhythm of the song switches.

Hope ya'll enjoy!

To My Birthday Boy!

October 14, 2011
To My Dashy,
Tonight on the eve of the second year of Your birth, I can't help but be overwhelmed with A Love that cannot accurately be described; though through this letter, I will do my best.

I reflect on this very day two years ago...

Even though You were still inside my belly, I held such Adoration for You and knew our Bond was already so strong! Upon Your arrival and being placed into my arms, my life was Forever Changed.

You've grown into such a Silly, Chatterbox, Dancing, and Singing Adorable Little Boy...who Exudes True Warmth!

Your Smile is Infectious, Your Laugh Contagious, and Your Sweetness equates to such a Brilliant Purity! You truly do capture all of the hearts with whom You meet!

Dashy, You have and continue to teach me that any hardship can be overcome simply by applying Trust, Belief, and Patience.

You're cheering section has been vast and Your Daddy and I will never forget the Great Friends and Family for which we were able to lean at times of worry.

The strides for which You've made this year through therapy has been nothing short of Inspiring; and watching You come into Your Own grants my mind Peace and sends my Heart Soaring beyond the Universe!

Upon testing just three days shy of Your second birthday it was determined that You are now at the average level of a 25 month old in Gross Motor Skills...which is a jump of 16 months in the short 9 months for which You've been treated!
You have Grown not just in weight and height, but in overall Mind and Body Strength, and all who Know and Love You are Beaming with Joy!

My Wish was that You would be able to walk by 18 months and run and keep up with Camden by the end of the summer; and You, my Sweet boy, made Mommy's Dreams Come True! Watching You and Camden interact is a Marvelous site- one that brings tears of Extreme Happiness and Relief to my eyes.

Whether it be sitting at the table "conversing" with one another, fighting over who gets to play with which car at the train table, running through the backyard kicking a soccer ball together, or rocking out during one of our daily dance parties, I'm convinced that the Two of You are Destined to be Forever Friends!

I still can't get over how Tiny You seem all wrapped up in Your new Big Boy Bed!

Tonight when I tucked You in, we sang our favorite songs: Twinkle Twinkle and Bushel and a Peck, but added in the tune Happy Birthday:
Happy Birthday You You, Happy Birthday You You, Happy Birthday Dashton Boooo Weeeeburrrrr, Happy Birthday You You is what you sang.

In those moments I couldn't help but get lost in the Love I have for You ...it was Always in my Heart but has Grown Beyond Fathom!
And as it came time for us to say goodnight, You looked at me with Your Gorgeous Eyes of Innocence and exclaimed: Cuddle Me... and so I gladly stayed a little while longer.

Each and every night before I go to bed, I Peak in at You, Watch You in Your most Peaceful State, and Smile with Gratitude from Every Ounce of My Being that I was chosen to be Your Mommy!

Happy Second Birthday My Sweet Dashy...My Little Shoon Doon!
I Love You More Than I'll Ever Be Able To Express!

I have to preface and say that Dashy did NOT drink ANY of this beer and the bottle for which Little Hims is holding is actually empty!! This video was just too funny not to post!!

Hope you all get a laugh like we did!!

Hard to believe that this little guy is almost two!!!

A Bushel and a Peck!

Remembering Gigi!!!

Today marks one year since our beautiful Gigi began soaring in Heaven!!!
We remember and miss her today and everyday with so much love...

Below reads the eulogy that I wrote and delivered on the day we said "goodbye" to Gigi!!!

*********************************************************************************************************************

Today we celebrate the Love, the Life, and the Light of Mary Georgina Groves…. also known as our sweet Gigi.
A woman who, just like the saying: Danced Like No One was Watching.

It would be impossible to fully describe the impact of Gigi’s life… we all have our own personal memories to fill our hearts.
I am, however, certain, that each and every one of us in this room can agree that she enriched all of our lives beyond measure.

Gigi had a knack for making everyone feel welcome…, as Grandad has often said, “She never met a stranger”.

With the heart of a Humanitarian, she would welcome anyone and everyone with a genuine smile, a warm hug, and of course…with amazing food!

From homemade spaghetti and meatballs, chicken noodle soup, custard, cherry and apple pies, and who could forget her mouthwatering beef and noodles-our Gigi was THE BEST cook!!
Always the entertainer, Gigi would be bustling about, singing with her beautiful songbird voice, dancing around the kitchen, and making sure that everything was just so…but never once would you feel like she wasn't giving you her undivided attention.

Gigi defined the Quintessential Woman…A full time loving wife, mother and grandmother as well as a brilliant and savvy career gal.
President of Service Supply Limited by day, homemade meals on the table by night. Grandma mastered balancing the scale of running a company and being the cherished matriarch of our family without skipping a beat. Infact, she created the rhythm that is Our Family.

The definition of our Gigi…one word…LOVE!

A love so boundless and abundant…there was always more than enough to go around- and without effort…that was just her way.
Each and every one of the Grandkids were her favorite…

Ali and I have vivid memories of Weekend Tea and Sugar Cookie Breakfasts with Gigi and Grandaddy and Poolside Summers where we’d cuddle up to her warm sun kissed skin as she sang:

“I love you…a bushel and a peck…a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck…”

Over the course of their 64 years, Grandma and Grandaddy have written a beautiful love story…
One of a simplistic depth…
One that has set the bar higher than any poet could comprehend.

Today is bittersweet, as with heavy hearts, we say goodbye to our beautiful Mary: Wife, Friend, Mother, Grandma and Gigi but find fierce joy in knowing that her star shines brightly from the heavens and her spirit remains wrapped around each one of us like a comforting blanket.

Gigi is no longer with all of us in physical presence, yet has returned to her most brilliant form…I like to think she is up in heaven making it even more perfect for the day that we are all reunited

Thank you beautiful Gigi for being EVERYTHING to our family…we cherish and honor the memories that you have given us and we treasure your light that will never stop shining.

Sweets for The Sweets!!!

We had such a great little outing on Thursday after I picked the boys up from school...
We met Aunt Kimmi for a tasty treat...our favorite cupcakes at Ivy Cake!

Both of the boys picked out their own mini cupcake...
Camden chose chocolate with sprinkles and Dashy chose a "yellow one"!
Cam ate his in about two bites!
Dashy was taking his time, so Camden thought that meant Dashy wanted to share his cupcake and began to move in for the kill!!
Good thing Dashy Shoon Doon is so sweet!!

LOVE!

Nothing Better Than Friends!!!

Dining with Gavin!

Lovin on His Lady!

Kickin it with Lofton

Muscle Men!!


The Boos Brothers have had such a fun and silly summer...in true Boos fashion!!

It really has been a blast watching my babies take on the world...together!

They are communicating with one another and nothing melts my heart more than hearing them chat away with each other!!

We are so lucky to have great group of friends with adorable kiddos! Watching the boys interact with all of their pals is also beyond sweet and of course...hilarious!

Cam is really have a blast with soccer...he has his best pals, Gavin and Avery on his team and is making some new friends too!! Gavin is the team super star...he scored 7 goals today!! Cam had a great assist as his buddy Avery kicked in a goal!!
I'm thrilled that I've been able to take a few Saturdays off each month to dedicate toward watching Camden Boos run around the field!! Dashy enjoyes it too! Great time spent as a family...

As the Summer months come to an end, our weather is starting to show hints of Autumn and the Weber Family is looking forward to lots of outings spent together!

Hope this finds everyone well!!

Lots of Love!!!!

Baby Beckham Boos!!!

Meet The Team!!!!

I Get A Kick Out Of You...

Today was a milestone in our family...our first sporting event for one of our little guys!!!

A few months back, Camden expressed that he wanted to play soccer with Gavin (his best friend)!

"Ask and You Shall Receive"...
We were thrilled to get him involved in the YMCA Soccer program with few of his little buddies!

Our great friend, Lindsay Holland-Gavin's Mom- took on the challenge of coaching our boys! She had them warm up: stretching and jumping jacks (hilarious to watch) and run/dribble/and shoot with the ball! We love that Lindsay is their coach as it will add so much meaning for us because The Holland Clan!!

Of course, it wouldn't be a family outing if someone didn't cry or throw up...

The Webers actually accomplished both today with ease...!

Dashy got SPF in his eye and cried, snuggled with me, walked around saying: SOAP IN EEEEEEEYYYYYE, snuggled some more, cried, cried and cried!

Post practice on the way home, due to the extremely hot/swampy weather, Camden threw up in the car-but no worries, he recovered quickly and was asking to play with his cars and for his "special treats" immediately following lunchtime!

My heartstrings can't help but be tugged by this cute little experience that we all got to share in as a family today!

Both of our boys are healthy, happy, and super silly! Being their Mommy is my greatest joy!!!

New Beginnings...

Greetings All!!

Today was our first day of our new school year!! We are so excited to have new teachers and be learning lots of new things!
Because we will be so very busy, we've decided that today will be our last official blog post!! Yep, that's right...we are turning it over to Mommy because she has more time than we do to catch everyone up on our latest happenings!!

We've had so much fun writing to you the past few years and we hope that you will still visit this blog often...Mommy promises to keep you all well informed on what's new in our world!!

Time for us to spread our little teeny tiny wings and fly!!!

Love Love Love!!!

Camden Boos and Dashy Bleu!

Baby You're a Firework!!

Greetings All!!
I sure did have an awesome trip to Ohio last weekend!! Mommy and Daddy took me down a big waterslide and I couldn't get enough! My first pony ride was a success too!! Someday, I won't need anyone to hold me up on the horses because I'll be riding them all by myself!

I was fascinated by the Fireworks!! I loved hearing them go: "Boom Boom Boom"!!
Camden is such a "baby" because he's afraid of the noises that they make...But me? I wasn't scared at all!!

This summer has been so fun for our family...especially ME because I'm not only walking...I'm running!! I think I'll be graduating from my therapy very soon...which makes Mommy and Daddy so happy to see me thriving and just taking the world by storm!

I'm fast approaching 21 months- the age Camden was when I was born! I continue to talk more and more!

Just a few of my favorite things to say now are:

"Hold Yous"TRANSLATION: Hold Me;

"Whyyyyyyyyy",

"Cudooooo" TRANSLATION: Cuddle

I also enjoy telling my brother: "Tanin...Pime Out...Now...GO" TRANSLATION: "Camden, Time Out...Now...GO"-

I love to cuddle and giggle with Mommy and wrestle with Daddy!
Having Auntie Ali close by gives me even more access to squeezes, kisses, and love!! She's the BEST!

Hope ya'll are having a great summer!!

Signing off with one of my favorite phrases: SEE YAAAAAAA

Dashy Bleu

Red, White, and Boos!!

Hey Ya'll!

Well, I'm back from a killer fun weekend at Mimi and Grandaddy's in Ohio!! There is nothing better than quality time with loved ones!

We spent our long weekend poolside, on horseback, stuffing our faces with yummy picnic foods, dancing to a band, watching fireworks, hanging with my cousins, and...well, I actually got to make some new girlfriends at the Columbus Country Club Independence Day Celebration!

I could really get used to celebrating America's Birthday...So Much Fun!!!

I turn 3 1/2 tomorrow...so hard to believe I'm really a big boy now!

Mommy calls me: Salesman, because I'm always negotiating with people so I can get my way! I promise to be a good boy as long as I get: Special Treats!!

I have a mouthy side as of lately, and I'm really not sure how I inherited such a trait...must come from someone waaaaaaaay down the branches of our family tree! :)

Nevertheless, I'm still a loving and sweet boy most of the time. The rest of the time is spent in: Time Out or playing alone (without all of my favorite toys: My Cars)!

Hope everyone is enjoying all this summer fun!!!

Sending Love, Kisses, Cuddles, and of course: Special Treats!!!

Love,

Camden Boos!

Our Daddy Rocks!!!!

Dear Daddy,

Happy Father's Day!! We are two of the luckiest boys in the whole wide world...Why??

Because we have YOU for our Daddy!!!

You really are the Very Best and we are so thankful to be your little guys!

Just like our Grandaddy, Papa, and Great Grandad Ben, you are the type of man that we want to grow up to be just like!

We are so grateful that we are surrounded by True Gentleman because you all are our guides through this Life and we couldn't be more blessed with better role models.

Your Love is as Gentle and Kind as it is Silly and Fun!!
You teach us about hard work and how to treat others with kindness...

You show us how to Love by all that you do for us: From playing outside, to helping around the house, to bath time, dinnertime, and bedtime too!! You are also a blast to wrestle!!

You do all of it with ease...Oh and you have a pretty cool job too- so we are available any time you want to take us along to interviews and/or shows-hint hint! :)

We hope you know how much Love, Appreciation, and Admiration we hold in our Hearts for YOU(Mommy does too)!

So Thanks Daddy...For Being so Cool and Loving Us So Much!!

We Love Love Love...You You YOU!!!

Happy Daddy's Day!!

See Ya...

It's me...Dashy B!! I'm walking like crazy and really enjoy getting into everything! Most parents tend to complain when their baby starts rummaging through stuff, but Mama and Daddy don't get too mad, because they are thankful that I am walking so well these days! Secretly, I use this whole walking thing as my weapon to stay out of trouble! I know that it melts everyone's hearts so I use it to my full advantage!!

Hope Everyone in Adult World is Great...

As I like to say...See Yaaaaaa!!

XOXO Kisses and Cuddles-

Mr. Shoon Doon Dashy Bleu

Sugar Fix...

Here I am in all of my Sugar Glory!! Daddy made me a "special treat" because I ate all of my dinner tonight!! It was so yummy....strawberry shortcake!!

LOVE MAMA and DADDY

Such Great Heights...

Happy Eighteen Months Sweet Dashton Bleu! It is so hard to believe you are a year and a half and quickly turning into a toddler before my eyes! Time truly moves at a pace I wish I could slow down...especially after you were born! There are days where I feel like you were born yesterday and I want to rewind Time to those sleepless nights where you and I were cuddled up and all was simple; yet I wouldn't trade our Journey for the World. You have been the sweetest little man from the moment you arrived; however, your patience can run thin...an attribute for which I must adjust yet can relate. As you approached your First Birthday, Daddy and I wondered why it was that you hadn't begun to crawl...We weren't concerned until we met with your then doctor. Prior to even watching you move, based strictly from conversation, she "diagnosed" you with Muscular Dystrophy. This broke my heart, as I had been pushing away my own nagging concerns regarding your development. After the appointment, I felt defeated and confused. I turned to many loved ones and friends for support and they all said the same thing...that you were only a year old- and it was far too early to make these assumptions. The doctor recommended for you to be placed with Tennessee's Early Intervention System (TEIS), and in hindsight, her "diagnosis", although overwhelming on my heart, proved to be the best thing that happened! Two months later, it was determined you had a slight gross motor delay and physical therapy was prescribed. Your Daddy and I were thrilled that our family was gifted this opportunity to help you develop and reach the ultimate goal of Walking. Mr. Nate entered our World and it was a rough start at first...you had to learn to trust him! After a few sessions, we began to see progress and your affection growing toward your loving and kind therapist! Long story short, here we are...on your 18 Month Birthday and you have done it!! You are officially WALKING!! You began taking unassisted steps about five days ago, and each day you take more and more! I cannot begin to tell you how my heart is swollen with pride and relief that you, our baby boy, has reached this goal! I now know that God was just letting you be "our baby" a little while longer! Your verbal skills are accelerated and we've known this for some time- you vocabulary spans well over 50 words and you show interest in saying new words daily! Our little Communicator! You have also recently begun to show a new level of Affection...you can't give enough hugs, kisses, and cuddles; and believe me- all who know and love you are more than willing to accept! I'm convinced your smile is Sunshine from Heaven...true perfection! I am so thankful for the gift of YOU...Our Sweetest Littlest Baby!! Sky's the Limit My Dashton Bleu...No matter what Life's obstacles may bring, I will ALWAYS be here to remind you of this!!

Love Love Love...You You YOU!!!

~ Mommy

Walk Like A Man...

Dear Doctor Bennie...

It's me, your former patient, Dashy B!

Along with this video I would like to quote the lyrics from a song as a letter to you:

Oh how you tried to cut me down to size

Telling dirty lies to my friends

But my own father said give her up don't bother The world isn't coming to an end(he said just) Walk like a man Talk like a man Walk like a man my son No woman's worth Crawling on the earth Just walk like a man my son

Good-bye baby I dont mean maybeI'm gonna get along somehow

Soon you'll be cryin on account of all your lyin

Oh yeah just look who's laughing now(I'm gonna) walk like a man

Fast as I can Walk like a man from you I'll tell the world to forget about it girl And walk like a man from you

Bad Monsters Be GONE!

What's New With Dashy Bleu

I Want S'More...

Little Sucker!!!

Lil Rockstar!

Sweet Sixteen...Months That Is!!!

Happy Sixteen Months To ME!!

Mama took this photo of me this morning, so it's hot off the press! I was having my morning Baba and getting ready to go to my school's Valentine's Sock Hop, (hence the reason for my shirt...it says "chick magnett")! I didn't want to hurt any of the ladies feelings, so I let them know that I'm One Bigboy Valentine for All!!

I am slowly adjusting to school...being around big groups of kiddos is very new to me; so sometimes I get a bit overwhelmed! I sure am excitedto see Mama when she picks me up and immediately return to my happy self! I guess I'm just going to have to learn to adjust, because I don't think my crying is going to get me out of going to school. Mama promises that I'll make friends and be Mr. Social in no time!

In other news: I began physical therapy last week. Let me just say: NOT A FAN! Mr. Nathan is my go-to dude for all things catering to physical challenges. Needless to say...NOT A FAN of Mr. Nathan! Maybe once I start realizing that I can do it...I'll grow to love him! He's gonna have to work for my love- that's for sure!

At home, Mama and Daddy are working with me on rolling a ball, standing on one leg and learning to shift my weight from one side to the other! I've mastered climbing up the stairs like a champ- now I just need to learn to go back down them!

I have 30 words in my repertoire people...pretty good, huh? I don't say them for many people, because I'm shy- but...I DO say them! Some of my favorites as of lately: Backpack, bubbles, WiWi (for our puppy Wiley), Eat, Up Up, More (I can sign it too), On (as I point to the tv in the car), Ball, Book, Bye Bye, and of course: Mimi! :)

I am obsessed with Dancing!!! I just can't stop Workin It!! Thankfully Mama acts like a freakshow, so I can be silly with her when we have our dance parties!!

That's it in the news of Mr. Dashy Bleu-

Hoping to have more to report next week...stay tuned!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

We Are Silly Tubby Monkeys!!!

Dyn O Mite!!

I Love To WORK IT!

Birthday Love From Mama...

Happy Birthday Camden!!!

How is it that You have turned the magic number of 3 already-Where has the time gone?
I vividly remember the day You were born...

In retrospect, I was far more nervous to become a parent than necessary; because from the first moment I held You in my arms, my heart became swollen with a love unlike I had ever known and instantly I knew what it felt like to be Your Mommy!

Calling You a blessing just does not do You justice!

This year has brought about many transformations in You...but one thing never changes: Your endless silliness and zest for life! It is evident that these characteristics are only going to grow with You and help to shape the very person You will continue to become.

Although very unbending and sometimes stubborn; Your sweet natured innocence is infections and brilliant!
Keeping Daddy and I on our toes is an attribute that we know will remain; and as challenging as it may be for us at times, we want You to be strong and know who YOU are!

You exude energy...sometimes more than Mama can handle...but I wouldn't have it any other way!
From the moment Your tiny little feet hit the floor in the morning, You are singing silly songs, jumping, laughing, dancing, and begging for those around You to join in on YOUR Party!! And what a Party it is!

Your favorites at present include: Mickey Mouse, Little Einsteins, Thomas the Train, and of course: anything that has four wheels!

In addition, You are very social and love having Dance Parties with Mama, Dashy, and Gavin; loving on your best girl, Brecken; meeting new people young and old, playing at school with Your friends, spending time with and getting spoiled by family, and exploring many new adventures.

I do, however, wish You'd try new foods...but we will keep working on it. :)

We hope to introduce You to the world of Hip Hop Dance Classes this year...stay tuned!

You have truly become verbal and conversational. Sometimes it feels like I'm talking to a man trapped in a little boys body- Hilarious and I know this will become even more so within the coming months!

Daddy and I can't wait to see what You have in store for us in the coming years!

The joy that You have brought to those who know You is indescribable- but a feeling that captures many hearts and smiles.

What melts my heart more than anything is watching You BE a Big Brother to our Dashy! Being the oldest child in a family holds many responsibilities and I have no doubt that You will live up to them beyond our dreams. Dashy already admires His Camden!

So here I am...in tears as I reflect on all the blessings that I've received from being Your Mama and I can't help but thank God for gracing me with YOU!

Every night I peak in on You as You sleep so peacefully, I'm reminded how You are wound tightly around my heart forever and always!
Continue to embrace all the beauty of the world around You and grow strongly but not too swiftly Camden Boos...My "Teeny Tiny Lookalou"!

With More Love Than One Heart Can Hold,
Mama
