Happy Thanksgiving



We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. This year was at my mom and dads house. We were able to spend Thanksgiving in their new home. All of my family was there including my Grandma and Grandpa Susaeta and my dads brother Danny his wife Ruby and son Jacob. After eating a delicious feast we headed on down to the bowling lanes and bowled it up. The kids had their own lane and had a great time. Preslie and McKell each got a strike and was so excited. Us adults had another lane and the pressure was on. My dad pretty much whipped all of our butts. Great day at the lanes. Later Monica and I hit a late night showing of "Twilight" while Craig and Brandt wrestled the kids. Thank you boys for allowing Monica and I to get out and see the movie we were patiently awaiting. The show was worth seeing but probably won't be running back to see it again. What a fun Thanksgiving with lots of fun memories to remember. I love my family!

Girls just wanna have fun!

Turning 30 does not mean that you can't still party like it is 1980!Let's just say, What a party!!! Our sweet friend Jen turned 30 and her mother and sister decided to throw her a surprise party with all of her best of friends. The theme "Girls Just Want To Have Fun!" We all dressed up and surprised her and had the honor of dressing her up. We had dinner and later played "The Amazing 80's Race" that Jill and Gayle put together for us. We were sent all over W.J. (our stomping grounds) to perform tasks so we could get our next clue. We visited the high school and had to choreograph a dance and perform. Sing the fight song for Ambers parents in their home. Visit the old Sconecutter where we use to hang after games and answer questions about high school and devour a milk shake. We had to make and star in a music video to girls just want to have fun outside of our old Jr. High. We then visited a store that a lot of us all worked at "Shopko" and had to find 20 items for under $30. We ended up back at Jens mom's house where we had to yell "We love the eighties." We had a lot of fun. How blessed I am to have such WONDERFUL friends. After all these years we still love to get together. We laugh at all of our dumb jokes and love to reminisce about funny old memories. I can't wait to see what Gayle and Jill have planned for our 40th. j/k.
Kristen took home the trophy this night. Her hair was RAD!

Hot Stuff!


Class of the 1980's




2 months old

Our Beckem boy is 2 months old. He is such a wonderful baby. The girls just adore him as we do. On November 24th, (making him exactly 2 months old) our little guy laughed for the first time. We were having family night and we were all surrounding him (using our high voices) admiring his darling smile. Preslie tickled under his chin and he began giggling. We were all thrilled. The first of everything is SO MUCH FUN! We all just can't get enough of this guy!

Girls Day Out!


My two favorite little girls and I went out on a date. We went and saw High School Musical 3. Loved it! Mayci enjoyed dancing to all the wonderful music. Preslie enjoyed "watching Troy and Gabriella dance", she said. I personally enjoyed watching just Troy dance. Wow! I think me and a million other teenage girls did. He is a hottie!

You can't go to a movie without popcorn and a soda can you? Thanks girls for a fun date! Thank you dad for watching Beckem and making it possible for us to spend some quality time together.

Beckems special day

On Sunday November 9th we were able to bless our sweet little Beckem.
I will have to say, it was a beautiful blessing. Dad did a great job and the spirit was strong. When he spoke of a mission I got a little choked up. I for 1 second felt probably what those mothers feel when sending their boys on missions. I felt a proud but sad feeling. I'm sure when the time comes it will be hard to see you go but what a rewarding and proud feeling I will feel along with the rest of your family and Hevenly Father. What a special day this was for you. We love you so much Beckem and are glad to have you in our family!

Family of five!
