Happy Valentine's Day

Yep still way behind but thought I would share our Valentine's day. I am the best wife ever and decided to get my husband a hand gun. There is no way I could have picked it out myself so I surprised him in the morning and we headed out to impact guns. He picked out a Glock and is a very happy man!!! We did some target practice and I shot a hand gun for the very first time. I was so nervous but I really enjoyed it. And here are my first 3 shots....not bad right?! I shot a 9mm and a 45. We had a great time. Then we went shopping for me. Ken was racking his brain and then said there is no way he could top my gift ;) I was happy with my cute new watch. It was a good day and was happy to have Ken in the same country for this one :)

In Stitches

I am so behind on blogging but at the end of January we celebrated the January birthday's with my family. A few weeks prior, my nephew was running and fell and head butted the bed which split his head open. At the time of the party his stitches were ready to come out. So Kristian took them out. Alaster is so funny it didn't phase him at all. He is such a tough little kid. When he was done he was walking up to everyone saying hey look at my scar. I think he is quite proud. Plus chicks dig scars!!! ;) Chloe, her friend Ashley and Alexis enjoying the festivities. Kristian the birthday boy. Matthew is a weirdo. Jake is too :)

Motorcycle Madness

Last weekend, Ken's soldier buddy Ryan and his wife Natalie invited us to Mesquite. Ryan had a motorcycle race there Saturday morning. We already had dinner plans with Colin and Donell Friday night so we got packed and ready to go right after dinner. We had a great time at my brother's house. Had yummy food and played some games. Thanks guys!!! So it was 11:00 pm by the time we got on the road. Probably not the best idea but off we went. Ken was getting pretty tired so I took over driving for a while, while he tried to get some sleep. Then we switched back and I tried to get some sleep. Sadly I awoke to sirens because Ken was going 95! Good times! That reminds me though, I need to remind him to get that taken care of. Anyway we finally made it to Mesquite about 4:30 am I think. We were wasted! We were up by 8:30 to meet everyone for breakfast and head to the race. The weather was beautiful and we had a really great time. 3 of Ryans friends were racing too in another division and one of them, Pedro, took second!! And now of course Ken wants a motorcylce too :) Ryan did well, especially since it was his first race and everyone said the track was brutal. He had a spectacular spill caught on tape right at the end of the race but he made it! Thanks Ryan and Natalie for the invite. It was great to get to know them a little better and have a little fun in the sun :) I was super excited to try out my new camera some more but left the battery charging at home. Super annoying!! So we only got a few pictures with our phones. He we are at dinner in the casino after the race. We had a good time and even came home with a little more money than we left with. Actually just enough to cover the speeding ticket ;)

Do blonde's have more fun?

... who knows but I decided to try it out. Well it's blonde for me anyway. I think it's fun :)I still don't know how to use my camera so I was playing with the different settings.

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.
