The Winning Shot

Well, I just have to post this for my awesome wife. Katie had a playoff basketball game this past Monday at Trinity Baptist and it was very exciting! Her team was down by three points 44-47 with one minute left on the clock. Katie gets the ball and swings it to a wide open teammate at the top of the key. Katie gets the assist as her teamate knocks down the three and ties the game at 47. Katie's team plays great defense on the other end and gets the ball back with like 20 seconds left and runs the floor. Katie this time gets the ball at the top of the key and passes to the wing on the left side and then cuts to the basket and she receives a bounce pass and Katie makes a beautiful layup with about 6 seconds left on the clock to put them up 49-47 and then Katie's team steals the inbound pass and held it for the last 3 sec. and the game was over. It was an awesome game that had a spectacular ending. It was really fun to watch. Our daughter Hailey ran up to Katie at the end of the game hugging and cheering "You made the winning shot!! And I saw it!" Katie, I am so proud of you and so grateful you are my wife! I love you and thank you for all that you do. You are the best!

Happy Anniversary!!

Happy Mothers Day

I had an absolutely fantastic Mothers Day!! My husband and kids totally spoil me and

I LOVE IT!

I am so blessed to have my kids, they are so wonderful. Being a mom isn't always a glamorous job and it can be really stressful, but when my kids give me hugs and tell me they love me nothing else really matters. I love being a mom and I am grateful that I have such a wonderful mother for an example. Love you mom!

Sweet Moment

I love these guys!!

Spring Break and Easter

We had such a fun Spring Break. We hung out at the house, went the zoo, played games and went to the 1.50 movies. I really love just being with my kids, they are great! We also had a great Easter. We do all the Easter bunny stuff and egg hunts on Saturday, so Sunday we can focus on our Savior and his love for us. Our weekend was a lot of fun. Enjoy the slideshow, sorry about the pictures being fuzzy at the end, I really need a new camera.

Fun Visit

We were so lucky to have Stephen's parents visit us during conference weekend. It had been over a year since we last saw them!! That is just crazy. It was a wonderful weekend filled with watching General Conference, playing baseball and basketball, putting puzzles together, eating frozen yogurt, going to the movies, having yummy Krispy Kreme doughnuts and just hanging out. Whew, I think I got everything:) We loved having them here, and wish so bad that we could see them more, along with are other family members in Utah and Oregon. Blake did have fun with grandma and papa beckstrand, despite the look on his face, he just really did not want to have his picture taken:) We miss you guys so much and hope to head out your way very soon, we love you!!!
