Blogging Break

Well, you may have noticed I've been hiding from this for a while. I've decided that I am going to continue my break from blogging. If you are interested in keeping up with the Rothrocks you'll have to find us on Facebook or the "old fashioned" way email.

I hope you are all happy and healthy!

Recent photos

Finally a few recent photos. Click on the picture below to see the album. These are all pictures that Grandma took. I still have lots more on our camera but since we are in MN, those will have to wait.

Sorry about the terrible blogging, I'll try to be better but I have a feeling this will be the standard for a while.

Even though we are missing Daddy a lot, we are having a great time in MN now that we've adjusted to the time change and are settling back in to our routine. The first few days were rough while we were getting adjusted.

Poor Beckett is finally on the mend, his hives are gone and he's back on a different antibiotic for his ear infections. Unfortunately 6 teeth are still fighting to come in but we can deal with that.

Broderick is doing well and I'm thanking God that he's such a good baby!!! Beckett is a toddler in full force and I'm not sure what I would do if Broderick was fussy!

That's it for now...Love, The Rothrocks!

Wow, One of these days...

One of these days I'll update this blog again! Grandma has been taking pictures and I will share them some time soon, I hope!

Beckett, Broderick and I are in MN for most of this month visiting family and friends while Corey studies for the second part of his boards.

Happy 4th of July! Be safe!

Broderick Quintin has arrived!!!

We are happy to share our newest addition to the family: Broderick Quintin! Broderick was born on April 29th at 7:35 a.m., he weighed 6lbs 12 ounces and was 18.5 inches long. Broderick arrived 2 1/5 weeks early and is doing well. Beckett is a happy big brother (he's very interested in Broderick and likes to touch his nose and hands) but only for a minute or so at a time! I'm sure they'll be best buds in no time!

Corey is able to be home with us for this first week (thank goodness) and we are just busy trying to figure it all out with another little one in the house!

Thanks to my mom who came to visit right away (All the laundry is done and dinner was served!!) We really appreciated all you did and Beckett loved having you to play with!

Check out the album below to see some of the pictures taken of Broderick's first days. Click on the picture below.

Also...check out the video below of Beckett having fun in Mommy's hospital bed!

Grandma visits KY

Grandma Benson made a quick trip to KY to visit before baby #2 arrives. It was soooo nice to have her here to hang with Beckett while we got a few things taken care of. The visit was short but Grandma managed to take LOTS of pictures. Click on the picture below for a sample.

On another note we are patiently awaiting baby #2. My doctor says it could be any day now. I'm not getting too excited for an early delivery (although any day now would be GREAT!!!!) as my due date is not til the 14th of May, but we are prepared! Beckett has been sick the past few days and I'm hoping he gets over this "BUG" before we have another little one around here!

Derby week starts this weekend and we're looking forward to all the festivities! Corey will kick it all off with running the 1/2 marathon on Saturday and we'll try to get to the track a couple of times as well. We've got tickets for the Thursday before and we're playing it by ear for the Oaks and Derby!!!! Maybe you'll see me on T.V. at the Derby going in to labor. NOT FUNNY!!!!!

Easter

We had a great Easter weekend in Louisville despite missing family! Saturday Beckett "participated" in a neighborhood Easter egg hunt and Sunday after church we went to brunch and ran in to the Easter bunny!

Check out a few of the pics from the weekend below.

Beckett's Birthday and Belize

I truly can't believe our little baby boy is 1!!! Beckett is an amazing joy in our lives and we are STILL in awe of his daily accomplishments. Currently Beckett is walking, babbling a lot, pointing a lot, putting everything in to his mouth (still) and just plain getting in to everything! We took the bottle and formula away and are going strong with good ole milk and sippy cups.

Thank you to everyone who sent birthday presents and wishes to Beckett. We tried to capture all of the openings on camera but didn't quite succeed. We really wish we could have had a HUGE birthday party with all our friends and family but that's just not possible given all of the different locations of everyone. Upon returning from Belize we did have a small birthday party with our local friends. Beckett had a great time playing with all the kids.

See the two albums below for some of the birthday and Belize pictures.

Christmas Pictures

Super quick update...check out the album below for a few pictures from Christmas in KY, MN and NE!

Santa

We just happened to be at the mall and there wasn't anyone in line, so we jumped in to see Santa. Beckett was a bit pouty faced at first but managed to snuggle in to Santa and crack a 1/2 smile.

KC Trip

Beckett and I visited KC a week ago to see friends! We stayed with Mandy and Cash and had a great time! Mona visited one night and we even had a play date with Aubrey and Eddie! Check out the album below for pictures.

Thanks for your gracious hospitality Lewandowski's!!!

Christmas Card Photos

We had a great time today taking pictures for our Christmas card! Check out the album below with some of the pictures we didn't use.

Grandma's Photo Shoot

My mom stayed with Beckett while we were in London and although I think she is still exhausted from chasing our little boy around they had a lot of fun! Check out the album below to see a small sample of the many pictures she took while she was here.

Thank you soooo much, Mom, for making the trip and staying with Beckett while we were gone. It was hard enough to leave him for the first time but knowing he was safe and happy with you made it a lot easier!

London

Last week Corey and I went to London for a conference. We took in lots of the "classic" London sights and even got to see our friend Maria. Unfortunately we didn't take too many pictures but I'd like to share a few of the one's we did take. There aren't any pictures of our visit to Notting Hill and Portobello Market but I think we did at least get one picture from all our other stops. Click on the picture below to see the album.

Stranger

Ok, so maybe I've turned in to a monthly blogger! Who knows!!?? You all deserve much more but for now I am only going to post a couple of picture albums (after all, I believe pictures are the only thing you really want to see.)

Paul, Carrie, Gavin and Maven along with Amanda were here last weekend. We had a great time! The first album is from Halloween and the second is a random collection of pictures from the whole weekend! Enjoy!

I'm still here...

It has been an entire month since my last post, and I apologize to those of you looking for pictures! I took a blogging hiatus and I can't guarantee there won't be another one, but for now I will catch you all up a bit. I tell you what...it is exhausting chasing a 7 month old who doesn't nap, while being pregnant!

Oh yeah, for those of you who don't know, we are expecting another baby! We are soooooo excited and look forward to having two little one's so close in age. You might be thinking we are crazy and we very well may be, but we're delighted!!!! I am 10 weeks right now and pray all continues to go well!

The first album below is from our trip to NE for a Husker game and to see family and friends. We forgot our camera but thankfully Grandma had hers. Despite the Huskers losing we had a great trip. My mom, sister and nieces made the drive from MN to watch Beckett while we were at the game. Corey's mom also drove to Omaha on Friday night to hang out. We saw lots of friends and were happily able to meet Beckett's newest girlfriend Brooklyn Patton. Congrats Kris and Bob!

The second album is from the weekend of the Saint James Court Art Show that took place in our front yard and beyond. My mom, aunt, sister and nieces flew here for the big event and we had a blast. The festival has more that 750 booths which took us 3 days to get to but I think we saw most of them.

The last album is from our visit to Huber Farms. Beckett was too little to enjoy most of the kiddie activities but it was still fun and we got some cute pictures. We tried really hard to get Beckett to look at the camera but as you can see our many attempts we no good.

I guess that's it for now. Post a comment, I'd love to hear from you!

6 Months Old

I can not believe our little baby is 6 months old already! Beckett has brought so much joy to our lives, we love him so much and are so happy each day we spend with him. As I always state, time flies and Beckett grows and changes before our eyes. I try each day to cherish the time with him and to appreciate all the little things as well as the big things. I love being Beckett's MOM.

Beckett is very close to sitting up all on his own. He's pretty wobbly yet but he'll get it before we know it, then he'll be crawling. YIKES!!! Below is one picture taken on Beckett's birth day and another taken on September 7th (6 months since Beckett's birth.)

The Lewandowski Family Visits Louisville

Jeff, Mandy and Cash Lewandowski spent some quality time with us this past week. Jeff was only able to stay Friday thru Sunday but Mandy and Cash stayed until Thursday. We had sooo much fun. Cash is 3 1/2 months old now, I can't believe how much he's grown since we first met him on his birth day. It will be fun to watch these two boys grow together. Thanks for visiting!!! We miss you and want you to come back soon!

Check out the album below. I'm sure the boys will express their dissatisfaction with our choice of apparel at some point, but until then..."bikini's" it is.
