Starting off 2011 great!

Happy January and February!!
3 of my favorites
These 3 share their birthdays- Feb 10.
Grandma Beck had a HUGE 90th party-
Sure do love you 3 and hope your day was great-
and your year is wonderful!!!
OK so their Steelers didn't do fabulous- but it was a great party with "Super" food- thanks mom
YEAH DECLO GIRLS- YOU ARE AWESOME (and I think your coach is really cute and great)
We go to state tomorrow and only 3 more wins!!! Lets just go and play our best- I don't mind sharing Dennie with these girls cause they are really wonderful.

I really can't believe my baby just lost his first tooth. It was quite devistating cause he thought it was going to hurt so bad- then cried cause he was so happy. And proceeded to show everyone at the basketball game his hole in his mouth.
Trey and Mark had a great birthday dinner and loved blowing out candles together. Next year Mark wants to be in the MTC on their birthday.
I am on a count down ---only 46 more days!!!!! Can't wait Garrard family- ALOHA

Christmas at the Smyer'sJaxon is really scared of Santa- and didn't want him to come- so he wrote this letter to Santa and taped it to our front door. Here Jax is with his Kansas Jayhawk sweatshirt. We haven't figured out why its his favorite- but he hates to miss any of their games- or his Steelers.
Grandma always comes to stay with us on Christmas Eve- but doesn't love to share a room with Allie cause she wakes up WAY TOO early- like about 3a.m.


Christmas Eve with Grandma Chick and Grandpa Bill

Beck Christmas Party


We love getting together with cousins and family and remember and visit. We love to play Beck Bingo and all of the fabulous prizes. We really love it when grandma gives us our big bag of M&M's and of course the cousin picture.

Cory- Teague-Grandma- Kyle and Zachary with their M&M's


Here is mom and her siblings- 2 have passed away. Dad and mom. Aunt Peggy, Grandma, Aunt Sue, Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Chad, Aunt Susan and Uncle David.


The great-grand kids. Missing lots- I don't know how many-


My cousins with grandma- I think we are missing at least 8
Hope we will see each other sooner- but I always look forward to
Beck Christmas Party to spend time together.



Happy November!!
It was lots of fun having some snow days- Uncle Butch came and took us sledding. It was tons of fun, but really cold.
Jaxon started to read books from the library-crazy he is sounding things out and writing words all over
Allie had her 7th grade tourney on her 13th birthday!!! She played great!
Here she is with her strawberry cake ball birthday cake.


The day after Thanksgiving mom and dad got us all a nights stay at the Fairfield- We had fun swimming and playing and watching football games.
Teague, Zach and Kyle were too hungry to even smile!

Zach played in the Mini-Dome in the state football tourney. We ended up 3rd. It was fun to see him out there. Yeah Declo

Here is dad's birthday- we "tail-gated" at the movie theater. We took him to see Secretariat. Some of the Garrard kids were sick- so we were missing a few of the "locals"
Back to Thanksgiving- the 5 and 6 year olds!
We had a great month. Kept really busy and had so many blessings as a family.
We love living in this great community and so close to wonderful family.
Thanks for all of you!
Happy Thanksgiving!
