Easter

Happy Easter!!! 

Mom was taking pictures and Dad was making them laugh!!!

Becker Easter Egg Hunt

 First Saturday: We went to the temple while the kids ate cinnamon rolls and played kick ball with Grandma Evelyn at Chelsea's house!  When we got home we had an Easter Egg Hunt then Hot Dogs!!

 We were so excited to see the Jensen's!!!

Trent got his BEAR!!

Bryson and Trent (who share a birthday!)

All Lydia

We went to St. George for the weekend for Tommy Mortensen's baby blessing! Lydia could not wait to swim, so I took these silly pictures! 

Rendezvous

Trent had a great time at his Rendezvous today! He took Silly Putty, Spy Pens, candy and some Easter Play Ddough Eggs to sell!  He bought all these cool things: plane, grape soda, Kit Kat, gumballs and BIG DOTS!!!  I was so excited because I ate little dots when I was a child! (at Disneyland with Cathie Horlick)  I couldn't believe how big these were!  Logan did a drawing, a dollar per ticket that came with a Laffy Taffy!  Of course Trent won!  He is lucky that way!!  Very fun!!

The Zoo

The Reese girls were supposed to go to the zoo today!  Due to chilly weather we switched to the Kangaroo Zoo!!

St. Patrick's Day

The Leprechauns brought some green surprises (sticky lizards and candy) and tinkled in our toilet!  Lydia could not believe it, she was so cute!! 

A dress from Grandma with a silly girl in it!!

Blake

Blake's pre-school teacher texted me: Blake just told me “I use my magical powers to give him manners and make him learn"  bahaha, good thing I have magical powers!

I asked Blake how Miss Tanya does it!  He got a very serious look on his face and thought really hard, "Mom, I can't figure it out!"

Ariel

Lydia wanted this Ariel swimsuit from Old Navy! She had a gift card from Christmas so we bought it!  All the boys and neighbors were playing in the front yard! I looked out the window and there was Lydia sitting by the gravel pit singing!  This was not a super warm day!!  But she wears swimsuits ALL the time!!  (all through the winter)

BLAKE the BIKE RIDER

Trent taught Blake to ride a bike today!!!  (Yesterday had a little lesson!) WOW!!!

Josh and I are so excited!! I can't wait for summer!!

Becker Business

Trent drew this T on a kitchen table!  At the top is the back of a couch and the very bottom of a TV! 

Trent started drawing this truck and I love it!

I love this penguin Blake drew during church!

Josh left for AZ Thursday afternoon (March 7!)  He and mission buddies went to see President and Sister Ballard! (President's cancer is back for the third time!) Also Annette Steven's, who lived with us 2 years ago, got baptized!!  Chris and Annette

Trent got in the car after school and said he needed to do some squat jumps for Park our! (boys tumbling class) Grant said, "My teacher won't let me do squat jumps, but she did today during journals because I told her I have to do them!" Very confused I asked what teacher! He said Mrs. Iverson, his school teacher!! I immediately wanted to laugh and asked Grant to explain! He said during journals he did squat jumps by his desk! I asked if everyone was watching him! He said no they were too busy on their journals and he was so fast he had time for both! I could not stop laughing picturing my cute Grant doing squat jumps next to his desk! Not to mention convincing his teacher it needed to be done!!!
Lydia said the other day, "How about if I tinkle in my pull-up I lose a dollar!" HaHa She listens to everything that goes on around here!!!
Blake has been very scared of Medusa from Percy Jackson! His eyes were covered and he did not see Medusa but it has caused him great stress and fear!! (Which could be the problem, he needs to see it!) For the past 4 weeks the child has not been alone! I take him to the bathroom, the garbage can etc. EVERYWHERE he goes or I go he has to be with me! When I am holding the laundry basket and can't see him I step on him, because he is always by me! I am hoping this gets better soon!! It is suffocating me!!! Lydia is copying and saying she is scared to do things alone! Oh No!!!

I was explaining to Blake that Medusa had long beautiful hair and she was snotty, and thought she was better than everyone else so the gods cursed her with snakes on her head! His response, "Was she blowing boogies?" So we talked about snotty meaning bratty!!

Lydia loves to pray and said the funniest prayer when Josh was in AZ, "Thank that dad gets a job, thank you that dad made dinner, thank you that mom and dad made dinner again, thank you that I could get in my Jammie's with Grant, thank you that I can put on my shoes, thank you that Trent had a boogie and got a tissue, thank you that mom read books to me!!!"

Team and Trophies

Trent's last game!!  The team with their trophies!!
