Happy Birthday Boo! Big 4

Four years ago on January 25th 2005 Becca Rae Ward was born at 7:56 a.m.. She weighed 7lbs 6oz and was 19 inches long. Wow how time just goes by so quickly. This is our sweet little Becca Boo only a few weeks old. Now she just turned 4 but acts like she is going on 14. She was such a sweet baby. We love her so much but lets just say that she has been a handful as soon as she hit 2yr mark and hasn't let up. Becca's birthday has been an all weekend affair. On Friday we had a party with family, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. She had a lot of fun and got a lot of great presents. Then on Saturday we took her and Ella over to Logan to the fun park and let them play on the soft play gym and did a little cosmic bowling. It was a lot of fun. Then we let Becca pick where she wanted to go for lunch and she picked WENDYS. Crazy kid. Then we went to Caspers for a Icecream treat. And today her actual birthday, we are just realxing from all the excitement we have had the last two days. All in all it was a great birthday weekend. We love you Boo.

Birthday treat at Caspers Icecream shop in Providence, UT. Yummy.

She wanted to go to Wendys for her Birthday lunch. She loves Wendys.

Make a wish!

Look at all those presents.

Looks who's 4!

This is her present she got from Mom and Dad, a new bed tent. No maybe she will want to go to bed and it wont be such a long process to get her to bed.

Be Prepared!!!!

Lately it has been on my mind a lot, food storage, emergency preparedness and anything else that has to do with that subject. I am trying really hard this past little while to get things in order and be prepared. So I have been surfing the internet lately looking at different websites and have found some that I like and have posted their website in "My Fav's" on the blog. There are 4 sites. So I thought that I would share if anyone else is interested or feeling like me right now. Thanks and enjoy.

The Dollhouse....

Here are some pictures of the dollhouse that Santa and Mrs. Claus made the girls. They have really enjoyed it.

Penguin, Christmas, Sleding, and a Moose!

It's a Moose, we have a new friend living across from our house. He has been here for the last 2 days and the fish and game aren't concerned with moving him so I guess he will be around until he gets bored of us.

It took Becca a while to warm up to sleding after her first run didn't go to well.

Ella sleding on New Years Eve.

Cute lil snow baby.

Kurt and Sariah on Christmas Day.

The best present ever!

Kurt enjoying his new toy that he opened Christmas morning. He loved the paper the most though. He is so stinkin cute.

Here are the kids in their Christmas Eve p.j.'s and new stuffed animal to sleep with. They also each got a new Christmas book that we read to them that night.

Shake your thing! She really knows how to shake it.

Becca had her first dance on the 22nd of December she was so excited and couldn't wait. It was so cute and funny. I never laughed so hard. She was a penguin and danced to a remix of ICE ICE BABY. She loved every minute of it. Ella also dance the same night. She did great too.

Christmas fun has begun!!!

The Christmas fun has begun around here. We have been so busy around here getting ready for the big day. We had the 1st of many parties last night in Smithfield. Jedd's grandparents invited all of Ken and Tracy's children and their children over for a Gingerbread house party. We started the night off by decorating our house, the girls had fun but hurried through the decorating so they could play with their cousins. Grandma served us dinner, we had 3 kinds of soup, cheese and crackers and and 2 kids of icecream pie for dessert. Then we had a little prompt to program, grandma read the kids a story, watched a movie about the birth of Jesus and last off all, of course presents. All the older great grandchildren received a musical dancing doll. Let's just say they are fun for a little while:). Then we headed for home since the Ella had school. She gets out for Christmas break on Tuesday. The next 3 days are going to be busy. We have dance performances tonight and tomorrow and still have a lot to do before Santa comes to town. Santa still needs to finish his present for the girls. Jedd had built the girls a awesome doll house for their Barbies. I have helped by painting it and still need to add some detail to the inside rooms. Wish Santa luck. I will post a picture of the finished product after it is delivered. MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone.

WOW!

I can't believe that is has been this long since I have posted anything. Don't get me wrong I have had plenty of things that I could have posted, I have just been soooo busy. Since it is almost Christmas I'm not going to post any pictures from Turkey day but we did have a good one. My family came to my house. Ella and Becca have been busy with dance and school. Kurt is growing up so fast he is 7 months old and 23 lbs, a BIG boy. Jedd has been the working a lot, late almost every night and almost every weekend for the last 2 months. He got a promotion at work and is a Boss man and so he has been working like crazy. The paychecks are nice but it would also be nice to have him home more. Well I will try to post some pictures later. Hope all is well with all you other bloggers. Happy Holidays.

I'm Back

Wow, has live been crazy at this household. The last couple of weeks have been filled with busy weekends of picture taking, dance, sick family and me sick for the last 2 weeks. So I am finally back into the swing of things, I hope. Ella has had an early start with dance competetions this year. November 15th see danced in Pocatello. They got 1st place, overall high score and judges choice. There dance production this year is, The night before Christmas. It is really cute. Ella is a Christmas Caroler.

Kurt turned 6 months old on the 9th. He had his 6 month appointment on the 18th. He weighed 21 lbs 2 oz which is 90% and was 28 in. which is 90%. He's a big boy. We just love him so much. He is a lot of fun and such a happy baby. Always smiling and laughing. He has accomplished sitting up by himself and holding his own bottle. He loves his food and is starting to show interest in what we eat. He is growing up to fast.

Becca is still into coloring on things she shouldn't. In the picture she tried to paint her toes, only it was with marker instead of toe polish. See is mischievious.

I'm still alive....

I'm still alive if anyone was wondering. It has been a busy few weeks. I have been sick for the last week. I did a wedding last weekend and started with a headache and a pain in my neck and it eventually spiraled into a full blow heck of a flu. I ended up in the hospital on Monday. I am still on the mend, I still have a headache and neckache since Friday and I am still trying to get my energy back. So that is going to be my update for know. Hope everyone else is healthy.
