Alyssa say Cheese!!

Alyssa has learned to pull herself up on furniture and so I was trying to take pictures of her but she decided to lay on the floor. When I would take a picture of her the orange light would come on from the camera and she would squint her eyes shut and smile. Alyssa is now 11 months old.

Silly Alyssa!!

Sleeping Beauty Bargin!!

Kira really wanted to be Sleeping Beauty this year

but I couldn't come to terms with buying a dress that was very expensive.

As we were walking around JcPenney's

I noticed these costumes on the rack in the isle.

This costume was marked $60 originally.

It was marked down to $20 and then I had a $10 off coupon.

I got this Sleeping Beauty Dress for $10.

I love great bargains.

Kira's first Pony Ride

We went to Oak Glenn with Uncle Robert and Aunt Amy.

Kira got to ride a pony for the first time.

Oak Glenn is an apple country.

You can go and pick apples and you can make your own apple cider.

Oak Glenn is off the 10 freeway and Yucaipia.

It is about thirty minutes from our new home.

We had a great time hanging out with Nate's brother

Robert and his wife Amy

and walking around in the little shops

and watching Kira ride the pony.

We went to Oak Glenn for Michelle's Birthday.

I had never been to an apple orchard,

wanted to do something fun and get out of the house.

We are proud of you Kevin!!

Kevin has wanted to be a police officer since he was a little child. When Kevin told the family that he was going to become a police officer we were scared but as you can see Kevin will make a great police officer and will do it well.

When we go over to Grandma and Grandpa Becks house and when Uncle Kevin would come home Kira would always call him Arlen so finally Kevin said, "I am number one." So Kira has never forgot who is number one.

Proud Uncle and is number one!!

Alyssa, Kevin, Kira

This is Kevin receiving his diploma from the president of Fullerton College. When Kevin's name was called you could hear all of those that where there to be of great support to Kevin.

Kevin graduated from the Fullerton Police Academy, November 1, 2008 and is now applying at a few different City's to become a police officer. He truly is a proud brother and uncle. We love you.

Cinderella for Halloween

One of the games they had for the children to play was to tie a donut to a string and try to eat it without your hands.

Kira enjoyed being Cinderella for our ward Trunk or Treat.

Learning on the computer!!

Here are some children's websites that I found to be educational. I noticed that Kira really likes these sites so I thought I would share.

A good website for children to explore about ABC'S.

Lake Arrowhead Village Lake

Nate decided at the last moment on Saturday
morning that we should get in the car and go
to Lake Arrowhead. I had never been there
so I was excited to go and was glad to
get out of the house. The girls enjoyed getting
out of the house too. It was a perfect day to
go, nice and cool. Kira enjoyed
going to the pumpkin patch and walking
around the little shops.
