Big News....

After many many many times of trying these not because we have been waiting for a long time...just because I am completely impatient...I got a lot of these Finally I got one of these!! Which means we are having one of these So whether it comes out looking like this or this We currently look like this!!

My sneaky little baker...

While I was in the shower the other morning...Lauren came in and got some water from the sink. I could only imagine what she was up to. After showering and getting dressed, I realized Lauren was quite content in her room and was soundless....not a good thing around here! This is what I found...Lauren surprised me with her own recipe for cookies!

laundry detergent + water= yummy!

Grandma Heslop

My sweet Grandma Heslop passed away this afternoon and although I am happy that she is now free of pain and in such a better place...I will miss her dearly! My Grandma Heslop is actually my step grandma...but you would have never known it. That was the amazing thing, she never made me think that I was anything but her granddaughter! There was no "step" in the loving grandma that she was to me! She took me and my siblings in as her own grandkids! At age 9 I still remember her loving acceptance from day 1 of coming into the family! I don't know how she did it... she always made me feel so welcome! Her and my Grandpa have been there for everthing for me. and have done so much for me! I have so many wonderful memories. I have been so blessed to have her in my life! I will forever remember her as my sweet little Grandma which always welcomed me with the same big smile, loving hug...and the sweet kind voice "Oh Becca!" she would say! I love that amazing women and she will always be in my heart!

I love you Grandma and may you know how thankful I am for you being a part of my life! ~Becca

My little Missionary...

Zach is quite the big brother. He loves to teach Lauren all sorts of new things. I caught him teaching her about Nephi in the Book of Mormon. What a sweet moment to find my little ones getting along and reading the scriptures! Excuse the underwear...it was right after bath time...and this is Zach's preference of pj's! And I couldn't tell him to get dressed because I had to sneak a picture of this sweet moment!

As Zach would say... FOUL!!

On Sunday I was opening this can of water chestnuts to chop up for dinner and right as the can opened, I had a big black surprise! I honestly starting dry heaving! Is that not the most nasty thing...a big black hair in my can? SICK! Although I had another can of water chestnuts, I opted those out of our meal! The funny thing is, Zach was just as sick about it. He kept asking clear up until we finally sat down for dinner, if we were going to be eating those. He must have lost his appetite too! I still start to heave when I think of water chestnuts! I guess I would lose weight if this happened more often! :)

Baseball Begins!!

Zach started baseball practice a month ago and we are excited that the fun has now began...game time! The league had their "Open Ceremony" all morning Saturday, they are not messing around here! And then our 1st game was tonight! I get a little too excited and involved sometimes...just the cheerleader that I am! :) haha. Anyway, I think my little ball player is the cutest on the field and I am excited to see more of him in action! Between 2 practices and 2 games a week...I guess you could say we will be playing the all American game of baseball...quite regularly! Go Georgetown Hoyas!
