Celeb Sightings!

So I am always wanting to see famous people. But have only seen 1 for sure. However I swear one day going into the grocery store I passed a famous guy. I am just not sure who it was. I promise he was famous! He had a baseball cap on and was wearing sunglasses and it was getting darker. The catcher is he smiled at me like he had been caught. Maybe it was me just staring trying to figure out who it was. Someone really famous I am sure...that's why I didn't know who it was! HAHA!

Anyway one day walking down Old Town Pasadena, a big shopping area, if your not familiar with the area. Well Gerry and I saw this well dressed man, with like 6 young girls all dressed up crossing in front of us going into this nice restaurant. Well sure enough it was Fred Ward. He is in Sweet Home Alabama and Enough and I don't know what others. I knew who he was but not his name. But it was funny it must have been like his daughter's party or something. Maybe they just dress up all the time! I was so excited to see my 1st real nameable famous person!

Well Gerry has seen 2 others. About a month ago Gerry was driving to work along side Charlie Sheen in his red viper. Pretty cool, huh?Well the big one was a week or so ago, Gerry was at The Grove in downtown LA going to lunch with some friends from work and Gerry heard this loud mouth drop the f word, and Gerry of course looked over to find the guy from MTV's America's Most Smartest Model, Andre Birleanu. It's funny because Gerry loved that show and was so excited when he noticed who it was. Andre I guess was wearing this huge fur hat. Pretty funny! Gerry's friends thought it was hilarious, 1st that Gerry knew who the guy was and even more that Gerry watched the show and liked. One of the guys emailed Gerry the picture of the guy with caption...Gerry's hero! I thought that was funny but pretty cool that Gerry keeps seeing celebrities. Soon it's my turn! I need to go to more famous people worthy places! I keep waiting...or I guess looking!

*A little correction, Gerry informed me of. Charlie Sheen's viper was silver. and when Gerry saw Andre, Gerry was just outside his work walking to lunch, not at the Grove. I got the stories a little mixed up.

Grandpa & Grandma Lind Visit!!

Last Friday Gerry's parents came to visit. It was so fun to have Grandpa and Grandma Lind here. The kids loved to spend time with them. We had lots of fun going to Rosco's Chicken and Waffle's for dinner. The restaurant is famous for fried chicken and waffle's served together. (A couple weeks ago on MTV they showed Snoop Dog and I believe David Beckham there...it's famous...okay that was a different location but still famous! :) ) I think Ed and Becky were a little skeptical about the fried chicken and waffle combination...as we were our 1st time. But it is honestly so yummy and I am sure fat free...fried chicken, right? I think they enjoyed it as much as we did!
Then we had a blast spending all of Saturday at San Diego Wild Animal Park. It was the perfect day to be out. It was so fun to see all of the animals...but even more fun being with Grandpa and Grandma. Then that night after a fun filled day, Gerry's parents watched the kids so Gerry and I could go out for a belated (2nd) Valentine's. So we hit the mall and went shopping and then ate at the Cheesecake Factory. Although we felt bad missing time with Gerry's parents it was a nice little break from the kids.

What a fun weekend we had. It was so sad to say goodbye. As much as I loved having them visit, I hated having them go. The kids were sad to see them go too. but we sure enjoyed the time we got. Thanks Ed and Becky for the GREAT weekend. We love and miss you already!!

Fun Times at San Diego Wild Animal Park!!

My Valentine!

WHY am I so lucky...or better yet, BLESSED! I have been so blessed with the greatest husband who trys so hard to make everything perfect. Since we live 12 hours (driving with kids) from family who would normally babysit, and no young women in the ward. We are babysitterless! The worst for a romantic Valentine's date! But Gerry did everything to make our Valentine's perfect. Throughout the entire day he made sure to let me know how loved I am. He started early with a surprise gift, and just even the sweet text messages were so nice! What a sweet guy. For our date we ordered take out from a yummy BBQ and Grill. Yummy. and Gerry was so sweet to get the kids bathed and to bed early. I just wanted to thank Gerry for being such a thoughtful sweet husband. Valentine's or just any regular day....you will always be mine! I love you Gerry! Becca

*side note: this pic was not taken last night! I am skinnier now! :) HAHA...joking!

BE MINE!

I love Valentine's Day! Of course because I get spoiled! But every year I remember how much I loved Valentine's as a kid...decorating my valentine box, passing out valentine's and of course getting special valentine's. Of course I no longer pass out valentine's only to my hubby and kids. However I really did get excited to help Zach get his ready for his class.

Well I found out today I might be that mom that lives their life through their kids. Okay not really. But I was totally excited to see Zach's valentine's. I realized how much I love valentine's when I kept telling Zach in the car ride home from school, "Don't open those yet! Wait for me!" I didn't want Zach opening any of his before I got to take a peek. Zach thought I just wanted to eat them. but I was just excited to see what he got!!

Well I did recieve a very special valentine from sweet Zach! And Zach was so kind to wait for his giddy mom to open all of his valentine's! Happy Valentine's Day! Love ya all!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

I love this video so much, I had to copy it from my friend's blog! Thanks Dori! Gerry and I can't get enough of it! It cracks me up! Thought I would share. Hope your Valentine's Day is happy and full of LOVE!!
Much love, Becca

Grandpa Hunter~

Gerry's sweet Grandpa Hunter passed away Feb. 5th. He was 86 years old. What an amazing guy he was! As I think about him, I just have to smile! He was such a kind man. He always made me laugh. He always had something funny to say! I loved it. The past while he has been sick and I have felt so bad that he didn't feel well. He was such a hard worker and for him to not be able to get around the way he would like, I am sure was so hard on him. I am so thankful for Gerry having such a great grandpa. He has supported Gerry in everything Gerry has done. Since I have been in the family, there wasn't one special occasion that Grandpa and Grandma Hunter have missed coming to support us with. They have shown our family so much love. He loved his family so much. Every year they have the biggest Christmas parties. (98 people in 1 house) He was so great with all the little kids. And just smiled the whole time! What I admire most about Grandpa was what a great husband he was. He loved Gerry's grandma so much. I can hear him now calling her "mama". He adored her. and her him. He was always so happy with a big smile and something sweet to say! What a great man he was! I am thankful that my kids were able to know him. When I told Zach he was so sad. Zach had just been able to visit Gradpa Hunter at Christmas and knew he wasn't doing well. Zach was so happy to know that Grandpa is no longer sick. The night that Grandpa passed, at dinner Zach gave the pray and in it said, "please bless that Grandpa and Jesus are having fun together!" I had to smile! We went this weekend to Idaho for the funeral services. It was a beautiful funeral. I am so glad we were able to go. However it was so hard to see Grandma Hunter without her sweetheart, my heart just aches for her. They loved eachother so much. I am happy that Gerry has so many great memories with his Grandpa. I am so thankful for the example Grandpa Hunter was. I know that he will never be forgotten. and truely missed! We love you Grandpa Hunter!~
