Up, Up and Away

That's my husband, what a good pilot he is.











Okay, so I finally did it. I went for a ride in the helicopter with my husband and obviously I'm here to talk about it. It was a great experience. We flew over our house and around Corning. Beautiful day it was. Little breezy, but good. My husband is a great pilot and he does such a good job at it. I am so proud of his accomplishments.

Fun Day

Kennedy's school had what is called a "Fun Day." Activities for the kids to enjoy and not feel as though they are competing. It was held outside of school and they all had a great time.

It's a Girl, a new Niece for my Girls to Enjoy!!

Last week on May 14, my brother/sister-inlaw, Royce and Monica Becker had a little girl. Malayna Clare Ann. She is the 1st girl to arrive on our side of the family since Raegan was born almost 5 years ago. What a joy to see a new little girl, pink colors to enjoy!! She's a beautiful baby and has 4 older brothers to welcome her home. Kennedy, Raegan and I went to see Malayna and Monica in the hospital. What a bundle of joy that has been added to the Becker Family!!

Kenzi's Graduation

Wow, it is hard to believe but we have a graduate amongst us. Randy's daughter Kenzi Smith graduated from H.S. over the weekend. She's a graduate of Lansing High School, Lansing, KS. It turned out to be a beautiful day despite the rainy day just prior. It was inside, originally suppose to be outside, but the football field was just a tad bit wet. Afterwards there was a dinner at her grandparents house. It was nice to enjoy the sunny day!! Posted in the pictures are Kenzi's mom, Jenny DeMoranville along with Randy. Kenzi's grandparents, Roger and Betty Becker. Also, included is Kenzi's Uncle Royce Becker along with his boys, Ethan, Corbin and Maveryk.

Girls Playing in Grandpa's Creek

One nice spring day, don't remember the day to be exact, Kennedy, Raegan and I went up to my dad's while waiting on Randy with planting. The girls love going to the creek, so we drove down there and they skipped rocks, walked in the water, and caught some very small frogs, some dead and some alive. Yuck!! Anyway they had a good time, so here are some pictures from that beautiful day!!

What do I do? Cheerleading!!!

Okay, so I am in this dilemma. My girls the free spirits that they are, are showing strong interest in being little cheerleaders. The place where they go for gymnastics has cheerleading. Kennedy and Raegan have partaked in gymnastics but want something more exciting. This entails competitions and more expense, but I think they would have such a good time and benefit greatly from it. To me it is a way of boosting their confidence of performing in front of others and plus doing things I can only wish I could do. Plus, it is a good way to develop friendships outside of school.
Raegan has been working on her back walk over. Uses the couch daily practicing and does a good job. Kennedy has gotten this down with the help of the couch too. It is neat to see the progress. Get the stomach muscles strong and they'll be able to do it on their own. Raegan has been trying to get me to help her do a back flip, that isn't going so well, took a foot in my face yesterday and said that's enough. But it is amazing how she wants to work on flipping over backwards. When they get these down, I'll be like wow, wish I could do that.
I think I am going to go for it, what do you think?

Taking a Walk to the Bridge

Our house is in the background, as you can see by the clump of trees.

For some reason I can't explain, my kids love to walk down the road to this bridge near our house. They find it fascinating to throw rocks into what used to have more water than it does now. It appears that beavers have built a dam, and now only a trickle of water is seen. Otherwise, what water there is, is frozen. It is not a wonder that when we have a good rain, that it floods. There needs to be some serious work done to that creek and some cleaning out. Anyway, we walked down there today since it was a nice day for January and a few photos were taken. Our dog Marshall loves to go down there and usually ventures down by the creek. During the summer if there is water, he wades around to cool off. Kennedy and Raegan love it, my only concern is getting to close to the rail. They would stay down there longer if I let them, but what time they get they enjoy.
I am going to try and post more just for the fact that since my husband is in California, this will be a way he can keep in touch of what is going on here. Miss you lots Randy!! Love, Your girls back home.
