The Jo's

While at the wedding I was happy to see an old friend Martha Jo. Jo served a mission in England and taught the gospel to my cousin Carol. And Jo is where I got my name.... Becca Jo. So I had to get a picture together. It is always so good to see her. She is the best!!!! :)

Happily Ever After

Yesterday I had the pleasure of being a part of my cousin Jennie's special day. She and Rex were married yesterday. It was a beautiful wedding and she looked amazing. It was fun to see how happy she was. Here is the groom escorting the mothers. Here she is walking down the isle. Of course I teared up.... who wouldn't. I can't believe I didn't really get any pictures of the groom. Here they are kissing for the first time as husband and wife :) Beautiful Bride.... Pretty flower girl Taylor. She did so good :) After the wedding we went to the church for the lucheon. It was catered by Golden Corral and was yummy:) The reception was beautiful as well and Mum and I manned the treat table. It was chocolate fountain with lots of goodies. Rachel loved it :) The boquet was caught by the bride's brother's girlfriend. He is the last one left to get married.... very fitting ;) Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Schwab!!

Superman!!

We piled up the bean bags at the bottom of the stairs and the kids... big and small... had fun jumping from the top of the stairs. Sabien said he was superman :) Of course Ken had to get in the action. I love Donovan's face.

New Toy

This week we bought a new bed! I was so excited as I have been wanting one for a long time now. We got it at RC Willey and they had a promotion that we could get this elliptical for pretty cheap. I don't have a picture of the bed but Ken and Kristian put the elliptical together today. I am leaving it in the living room so hopefully I will use it more while I am watching tv. We shall see but I am excited :)

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas eve with Ken's family. Ken's Aunt Christy Uncle Mike and cousin Brandon came down from Wyoming for the holiday. Ken's brothers were happy with their gifts. I think Cathy really loved her present. Who knew we would get such a reaction from bed sheets :) We were spoiled and got some awesome gifts. Ken was super excited for the speed bag he got and I love my new mixer. Donovan got a Star Wars game for the WII. He also got a gun to go with it and when he opened it his reaction was.... "WICKED!" Where does he come up with this stuff? Even little Roxy got a present. We had a lot of fun. Thanks Olsons for all the wonderful gifts!!!!

Pretty Lights

Ken's Aunt brought us some 3D glasses to look at the Christmas lights. It was awesome and I wished there was some way to capture what we saw. I put the glasses up to my camera and it worked! The kids (both old and young) enjoyed looking at all the different shapes. Stars Snowflakes Santa Faces (though you can't really tell) Candycanes and Stockings The Snowmen were my favorite

Christmas Morning

It was so nice to have our first Christmas in our new house. Donovan was with us and we had a nice relaxing morning opening presents. Donovan got tons of fun stuff he was really excited. He has wanted a pair of Heelys forever! Spoiled!! Chunks had fun with his gifts too. With this one Ken opened the end and Chunks knew instantly what it was. He grabbed the end and pulled it out of the wrapping paper. He was a happy dog :) Ken's big present was hiding at my parent's but he had plenty of presents to open and keep him busy. He was really happy to get some bullets for his gun. He hasn't shot his new gun yet but now hopefully we will soon! Ken and I both got new phones. I got a gift card to pick out some new shoes (does my husband know me or what) and some new snowpants. I am determined to take Ken snowboarding this year. But the best gift of all was when I looked outside and Ken made me think the car got stolen. When I went out to check I found this................... I was so excited!! I have wanted one of these for so long. Now we can fit comfortably when we go camping. I told Ken that now we have to camp loads this summer. :) Yep, I am spoiled too!
