Rebekah's Birthday

-
Nine years ago on May 7th I was blessed with this beautiful little girl.  Dustin and I are so blessed to have Rebekah in our family.  She has been a patient, and loving daughter as we learn how to be parents, often experimenting with her since she is the oldest of our beautiful, if often unruly, troop. 

Rebekah is very bright, but always willing to help those learn and understand the things she knows when they struggle or fall behind her level. 

Rebekah is caring; watching those around her and finding ways to ease their burdens.  Like when she rounds her siblings up for outdoor play time when she sees me getting a bit flustered with their pandemonium. 

She is a terrific big sister, a true friend, and a loving daughter of God. 

We are looking forward to another year of learning, loving, and growing with our amazing Rebekah!

Happy Birthday Rebekah!
We didn't have 9 individual candles around the house when we did her cake, so we decided to do some birthday addition.  
5 + 4 = 9!
For her birthday this year, we took the kids to Build a Bear for the first time. They all had a great time picking out and making their very own stuffed friends.  Thanks for sharing the birthday fun with everyone, Rebekah!

The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preferenc...

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
