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!

OH LIFE IS SO GOOD!

Ok, She survived the load of laundry! She is just cute as a button snuggled up to her gangkey (blankey). I wish this was all I had to worry about, because if it was I don't think I would get out of bed ALL DAY!

Oh It hurts So Bad!

So if you don't already know Tessa has a favorite blankey that she loves soooo much! Well, last night she was sick and threw up so her whole bed got put in the washer this morning. I didn't know it could be so hard. Her body is lying on the floor and she is just SAD!! Life is SO HARD!

Girls just wanna have FUN!

Ok , Mallory & Tessa have really been getting into stuff lately. First it was finger nail polish and now I have two wonderful spots on my carpet! Next, it is Shelby's make up! The funny part about it is that Mallory will do the dirty work and Tessa will come up stairs and say, "Look at my pretty toes mom!" Then Mallory will start crying and run to her room. Silly Girls! So here are a few pictures of Tessa and her Mascara Job!! I love how she put her finger on her cheek like she is just so innocent.

Soccer, Soccer, & More Soccer!

Kara & Carson have been doing soccer. The season is almost over and they are sad but I am really happy. It is just alot to have two kids doing practice and games all week long. Not to mention Scouts & Mutual. OH! Did I forget Baseball! Holly Cow~ No wonder I am running around like a crazy lady! Here are a few soccer pics to enjoy!
