Samuel's Blessing Weekend

On May 4th, Mom, Dad and I flew out to Utah for baby Samuel's baby blessing. It was a beautiful weekend, the weather was great and the company excellent!!! We got to see and stay at Bethany and Brandon’s new house. We even got to try out their new recliner chair!! A prefect napping spot!

Saturday Cory, Rahcel and Jocelyn joined the us and we played in the front and backyard!

Made it to the park!!

Dad got some grandpa time with Samuel!

Bedroom Final Outcome!!

Here is the final out come of my bedroom makeover for the walls anyways. There will be decoration on walls in the near futures.

Tender Mercies

As I think and reflect on this past weekend about the passing of a good family friend Andrew Mihalo, who was in the Green Beret's and was killed Afghanistan fighting of my freedom and the freedom of others. I think of how many lives he touched. Especially my brother Stephen and my sisters Sara and Rachel. I loved hearing their stories of Andrew and how blessed they were to have him in their lives. I don't have any specific memories of him, just some photos here and their. A trip to Death Valley with the Boy Scouts and at the ice staking rink. I am guessing it was a youth activity for the church. Honestly I don't even remember beginning there, but I glad the photo was taken and their to share with others.



He seemed to be the protector and go get 'em to all from the memories of my siblings. It sad and disheartening to know that he is gone but so wonderful to know that we will see him again. I am sure he is fighting a bigger fight in heaven and is on the front line serving God and his kingdom.

As this news came we as a family were blessed with tender mercy that Rachel (my sister) will be bring a baby girl in to their family. Their 2nd girl! It is so wonderful to know where there is death, there is life also. That it is all part of God plan for us!

The Bedroom Makeover

I decided to do this project at the beginning I the year and this past week I finally just did. The room I am in at my parents house has only been painting once on the past 15ish years we have lived here at this address and it was a boring white. It was time to some minor room make over.

Unfortunately I accidentally erased the before picture off my camera. Which is a real bummer because it was a good photo too.

So here is the in the middle project picture and the final results picture.

Hopefully by this weekend there will be a picture of the room put back together.

A Beach Cruiser!!

Yes, it is true this bike is way cute! If it weren’t around $450

Monterey, CA Part 2

Bella decided she needed to help her mom make dinner rolls for Easter dinner. However, I think she was more interested in eating the dough than rolling it.

Monday the 9th we head to the Aquarium to find Nemo. Stay tuned to see if we found him…

After Bella posed for this picture…

She ran over to this bench and said, “Becca Picture.”

To find Nemo venture over to my Becca Anne Photography blog!

Backyard Update

It's coming along.

Monterey, CA

 

This last weekend Easter weekend I head up to Monterey, CA to visit Zakk (my cousin), his wife Autumn and their daughter Bella. It was a busy weekend! Saturday Bella had 3 separate egg hunts! What a lucky girl! The pictures are in order of egg hunts!

• At the Barnyard: Carmel, CA
• Bella found an egg that had $1.10 in it!!
• Ward members in their new ward.
• Bella was very protective of her eggs!
• Ward members in there old ward.
• Bella found half of them and her friend found the other half. 10 eggs each!!

 

That night we wen down to the beach! (Not sure which one and had a so called bonfire and roasted marsh mellows. Their friends Kyle, Kendra, Shea (spelling?) and Ashley joined us. Bella was afraid of the fire! but thought it was pretty cool that Zakk could jump over it.

This is the famous Grandpa William's Smile!!
