beloved birthday gift

Beckham got a real guitar for his birthday. Marmie has a real guitar that sits on display in her house and lately Beckham has been really interested in it. He asks to "play" her guitar every time that he is at her house. He would "play" her guitar for as long as she would let him. Sometimes he would sing a song he knew, and other times he would make up songs. He would grin from ear to ear while he sang and "played" the guitar.

Marmie happened to find a child's size guitar at a local pawn shop, and she had to get it for him! Beckham was so excited to have a guitar of his own. It even came with a strap, so Beckham could hold his guitar with ease and "play" at the same time. It was perfect!

Here is Berkley helping Beckham open his big surprise.
Admiring his beloved gift as Marmie fixes the strap.Giving us his first performance... in his chaps and all. I think he is a natural!I'm not sure he could be any happier!
He pretty much has had his guitar with him ever since he received it. He hangs it on his bed post when he goes to bed at night, so it is never far from his side. We get full out performances all day long. I thought you might all like to get a taste of his singing as well. You might want to pause the music at the bottom of my blog before you try to listen to Beckham. Here he is performing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."


Let's not forget the ABC's.


Beckham is currently writing some more songs of his own. We'll get those posted for all of his fans as soon as he completes them!

Look out ladies! What a cutie! You've got to save that for the future wedding slideshow! :)

Maybe he can lead worship at your LIFE Group! Or better yet get him on stage at church and let him jam with Jeremy! :) (I'd so drive up for that!)

i liked the ABC song, too. i mean, really, who needs w, x, y, and z anyway! :)

korley usually starts with twinkle twinkle and by the end of the song she's singing the second part of ABC. same tune--guess she's killing two birds with one stone!
