Jill & Jared's Wedding

Scott's sister Jill got married on the 18th to Jared Huckstep from McCammon Idaho. They were married in the Idaho Falls Temple and the reception was at Scott's mom and Dad's house. They also had an open house in McCammon the following night. Jill was beautiful and the flower girls were so dang cute! In the picture above from left to right there's Jared's niece (can't remember her name), Elise's cousin Kenasyn, Becka in Jill's lap, Elise, Elise's cousin Emma, and Elise's cousin Morgan. Jared and Jill have moved to Pocatello for school and we are going to miss Jared staying with us when he's in town. We are so excited for them. It feels like almost yesterday we were where they are now.

New door and patio!

Our latest project was putting in a new sliding glass door and putting in a patio and fire pit in our backyard. We got the door second hand for only $50. and it's perfect. We still have a little work to do around the door and outside on the patio but we couldn't be happier with how it all turned out! We even put in a place for my swing. Scott always amazes me with what he can do. I tell him what I want and without ever doing it before he figures it out and gets it done. As you can see Becka is also enjoying the door.

My New Nephew!

Linden Ryan Beckstead or "Little Lin" as we like to call him. I'm so excited to have a nephew on my side of the family! He is a dream come true for not only his mom and dad but for me to. My only complaint is that he lives so far away. If it were not for the price of gas I would be down to see him all the time. He took his sweet time getting here on his big day. After Angela's water broke he arrived about 28 hours later! With my mom and two girls we stayed in the waiting room all night so we could be there when he came. And it was well worth it! And he has the perfect birthday June 25. It's exactly 6 months from Christmas! That's why he was holding out! What a cutie!

Our Annie Dog!

We got Annie about three years ago. She has been the best dog anyone could ask for. She is so sweet and great with the girls. No matter how much love you give her she always wants more. I have found that black dogs are hard to get a good pictures of. We don't know what we would do with out her!

Becka Jill Thueson

Becka is our laid back sweetie. That being said, she is only 10 months. She has just started sleeping through the night thanks to the tubes she just got in her ears a week ago. Becka thinks the world of her sister and lights up every time she sees her. Elise can be a little rough with Becka sometimes but Becka takes it in stride. Becka is also an outside girl and giggles in excitement when we go outside. Becka's favorite thing to do is eat, and she is really good at it! She has been from day one. She has not meet a food she doesn't like. Becka also is learning the word NO. She knows what it means but just laughs at us the louder we say it, and continues on what she is doing. We can't help but laugh also. She is an amazing little girl and I can't believe how fast she is growing also!

Elise Jean Thueson

Elise is our princess, Attitude and all! She has a mind of her own and though very challenging at times we wouldn't want her any other way! She is our pride and joy and the best big sister in the world (most of the time). She is an outdoors kind of girl and is always asking if we are going camping. Her favorite thing to do is play with her "friends" (her cousins) and we are lucky to have so many close to us. Though Elise takes a while to warm up to people she doesn't know very well at home she is very open and talkative. She loves to sing and dance and right now her favorite game is for me to be Elise and she is the mommy. We can't believe how fast she is growing up!

Day one!

I have thought about doing a blog for a long time. I think this is a great way for family to keep in touch with the little day to day things, or week to week, and if I get really lazy about keeping it up, month to month. Anyway Enjoy!
