Wedding photo's

Kenzie and Shea's wedding April 30th, 2010 was wonderful. Apparently i am an overly protective big sister. I was very emotional to see my baby sister getting married. What a magical moment it is to find the person you wants to spend eternity with. They were sealed in the Salt Lake temple and thankfully the weather held up long enough for pictures. Their reception place was beautiful, full of flowers and plants. The pictures at the reception were ridiculously cute. We were all dressed up, Hallee was a flower girl, me maid of honor and Ben in a matching red tie. Hallee loved her dress so much, she danced and ran around all night long, showing her dress off to people. Our little family It was impossible to get all five grandkids looking at the camera, never mind getting them all to smile. Hopefully someone got a better photo then i did. LOL Uncle Mac with the kids. He got very popular during the night; he let the little kids play games on his phone. He is the best babysitter in the whole wide world. Ben entertaining Hallee and Dallin by playing horsey Kenzie and Shea cutting the cake. It was pretty yummy. So cute you will want to watch Hallee's dance. Just hit play

Easter 2010

Easter 2010 Beck family. Hallee fell asleep on the way to papa house so she missed finding eggs with all her couz. So after she woke up we did a special egg hunt just for her. Her couz was gracious enough to help her find them all. Colin would point to the egg and Hallee would go pick it up. Hallee with her new easter basket, that i just finished that morning. Nothing like procrastinating, getting it done hours before the hunt. Hallee really didn't care to much about finding the eggs, she was happy with one. She found one, and is so smart she already knew that there was candy waiting inside. so we had to open it right then. Then she went on her way finding the rest of the eggs.

Missing our grandmothers

It seems so hard to let go of someone so special. I know they are waiting and watching over us, but still I am very selfish and miss them so. I some times feel sorry for the rest of the world that don't have the knowledge that we do. They don't know that there is life after death, I don't know how you could cop with death not knowing that you will hold them in your arms again. I feel so blessed having the gospel in my life. And having had the opportunity of know these wonderful grandmas. GRANDMA PECK - Hallee still blesses grandma great Peck to get better in her prayers every night. I say bless grandpa great then she immediately blesses grandma great feel better. It still brings tears to my eyes every time she blesses grandma. GRANDMA HADFIELD - We were returning a tool to grandma Hadfield house and Hallee wanted to go inside to say hi to grandma great. I told her that we can't. She said but I love grandma great and want to give her loves. I then explained that she lives with Jesus. She said I love Jesus. I am amazed that after not seeing Grandma great for almost a year she still remembers grandma. Oh how we miss these two wonderful grandmas. And they will both always be in our hearts.

Grandma Peck 2/25/2010

Grandma Peck passed away on thursday after two weeks of struggling and fighting in the ICU. She was ready at the end and knew it was her time to go, but I think we all had a hard time let her go. This was hard because i truly believed my grandma would live well into her 100's- because she has more energy and enthusium for life than anyone i know. She had a stroke and we all thought she would get better and come home. But it was her time to go. How true it is that we are all on gods time line. It was really neat to see the family pull together. All her grandkids went to the hospital on thursday and say goodbye. The top three things I will miss most about her: 1-her loves & smiles, grandma has always an upbeat person who's love just radiates from her, she would give everyone hugs. 2-her calling me for no reason at all, but to just say hi. I miss not living next door and being able to visit whenever i needed anything. 3-Her honesty-my grandma is an extremely honest blunt person almost to honest, but it was always said with love. 4-Lake Powell-it just won't be the same without her. Love you grandma! Her funeral was beautiful, I know she was watching and loved it. It showed her great love for family, friends, piano student and music. Her girls gave a life sketch and two sons spoke with lori playing the piano. My grandma is an amazing person and has touched so many lives. She will be missed dearly. Grandmas kids and Hubby.

Feb 2010 in review

I have many mixed emotions right now. Feb. has seemed to be a very challenging month. 1- My grandma is in the hospital (ICU) and it has taken it toll it seems on just about everyone. she is so loved. She is a fighter and i believe that she is fighting. She was stable enough to do an operation, which is good new- so we are all praying and hoping that she pulls through this. My grandpa is such a wonderful strong person, I would be a reck if i was in his place. 2- I also have been emotional about see my baby grow up. I look at Hallee now and see a toddler instead of my little baby. She no longer will stay in her crib, she is a gymnast of sorts and can climb in and out at will. So we moved her to a big bed. (I almost started to cry, being a mom turned me into a huge baby). I hate that they grow up so fast. Yesterday was her first nap on her terms. She did finally tucker out but instead of her bed she decided to nap on the floor. But last night she sleep just fine in her big new bed. I half expected her to come down the stairs to my room in the middle of the night; But she didn't she slept just fine in her big bed. 3- I feel like my 28 month old is going on 12 year old. I was shaving my legs this morning. Hallee came up to me and said Hallee wants to shave her legs too. I just started laughing. Shaving legs better be a good 10 years down the road. Our little family-Ben and I trying to teach Hallee how to pucker for the camera. I thought it was a really funny picture. We did get a way for a three day vacation of sort. We visited my big brother and his family-Addy celebrated her birthday while we were in town. Addy is 4 months younger than Hallee, and they are completely opposites. Addy is a complete girly girl, wants her hair and nails done. Addy plays by herself, sits quietly, is a shy girl. Hallee is loud, a tease, loves to make people play with her and Hallee would rather pay in the mud and get dirty. Total opposites, but they play wonderfully together. Dallin & Hallee waking Kenzie up each morning with a couple of body slams. Of course with my help, I couldn't let them have all the fun to themselves. Hallee & Addy playing together. Hallee playing guitar hero-She was on the drums with Ty & Kenzie on the guitar with Dallin singing, I have to admit Dallin is amazing, he has the word memorized. He is only 5 and can out sing me. 4- Hallee is so independent, she does not ever need my help. My little girl tells me every day this phrase "I can do it all by my self." Yes so i have tried to stop asking if i can help her. Here Hallee is painting her own nails. (don't worry it is kid finger nail polish). Yes my 28 month old is going on 12 years old or so it seems. How much I love my little family. Ben is the best hubby i could ever ask for and Hallee keeps me on my toes and I wouldn't have it any other way.
