Flag Football Here we come!

Conner really wanted to play flag football this year and so that is what he is doing!  He really enjoys it.  I went to his first game (we lost, bummer).  But here are a few pictures of Conner!  He is getting so big and I can't believe how tall he is.

Family Reunion Pool Bash!

We had a fun time in June having the Anway Reunion at our house.  Everyone enjoyed the pool and lots of great food.  We didn't have our whole family there and we missed those who could not come, but we were so glad to have Aunt Brenda and her boys with their families. We played "Minute to Win it" games and ate lots of ice cream to try and keep cool.   Here are a few pictures of our fun time.

Fun Family Pics!

My girlfriend and I decided to take some fun pics of our kids for Fathers Day! I thought I would post a few of them for those who still look at my blog! Thats not too many people. But I hope you still enjoy them. It was lots of fun! We had to hurry because it is so hot!

Conner Is Twelve~

Ok I have really had a hard time wrapping my mind around the fact that Conner is now 12! He has grown up so fast and it is crazy to me. He has been so excited to get the Priesthood. All he talks about is passing the sacrament to our Bishop this next Sunday. Yesterday we had our family and friends over to do the ordination and then we had Sunday dinner. I just want to thank everyone for coming and supporting Conner. He is such a sweet young man and we are so happy that he now has the priesthood. Here is a picture taken yesterday of all those who helped with the ordination. Wonderful Memories!

A day I will never forget!

I had the wonderful opportunity to be a part of a wonderful reunion. Roy is a member of our ward from Africa and he fled the country 6 years ago. He has been trying the whole time to get his family (wife & 4 children) here with him. Well it finally happened. I will post a link of where you can go to read their story and look at pictures. WARNING: DO NOT read without a HUGE box of tissues! Here is the address: www.trevordayleyblog.com. This really shows you just how important the family unit is and how much we need to strive to strengthen our families!

Love to all! Becky

I want to be a big girl!

Ok so a couple weeks ago Tessa decided that she needed a big girl potty. So potty chair + training pants = $25.00. She sat on it a couple of times and to my surprise she DID it. Hey for Tessa! And then she said I need a diaper. So I put a diaper back on her. So today, out of the blue, she says, I am going potty. So here we are again in the thick of potty training. I really did not have this in the plans today. Isn't she aware that if its not on the calendar, it DOESN'T happen. Wish us luck! She already has had 2 accidents but refuses to put on a diaper. She is so strong headed! Good Luck Tessa (or maybe its should be good luck to mommy!). :0)

Shelby had the opportunity to be in the play put on by the Queen Creek High School Drama. They have worked so hard on this play and it was a wonderful show. The story takes place in Egypt. It is a love story between an Egyptian Captain and the Princess of Nubia. Shelby's part was alot of dancing and a fashion show. The pictures below are of her fashion show dress. She did such a great job and we are so proud of the work she did. She has made some good friends and made lots of memories. We Love you Shelby and are so proud of you!
