Is It So....

It's amazing what traits are passed from parents to their children either physical or emotional. Or the odds of us just having one child with my coloring and having two red heads is surreal or unreal.

Our third child, we been told how much Mya looks like me especially from my mom but I didn't fully understand until I saw photos of me around her age. It's truly mind-blowing to see how much she truly looks like me.
How about our second child , how people have asks me if Nathan is adopted until they see Blake. I have heard many time that Nathan take after the Beecher side of the family or look like a mini Blake. Well I found some photos of Blake around Nathan's age and I can see the resemblance.
Now for our first and oldest child. People will see Isaac and tell me that he takes after my side of the family but he is truly a mix of both of us. He definitely has my coloring and his shape of his face is like mine but his smile is all dad's. Even the teeth are the same as dad, that's eerie.
It fun to see the physical traits we have passed down to our children but that doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if we look the same or don't, what matters is the love we have for each other and for our Heavenly Father.
What matters is that we are an Eternal Family.

The Things We....

It amazing the things you do for your kids even when you don't have a clue how to do it. Yesterday was the Blue and Gold Banquet in our ward and each scout was told to bring a cake that depicted a national or historical monument. Well we thought it wasn't a requirement but we found out different on Tuesday night. Mind you I wasn't home on Tuesday night and I found a note on Wednesday's morning about the cake that needed to be made that day. Isaac told me he wanted the Washington Monument and all I could think was "HOLY COW"!!! Well this monument took me all day to make and a trip to the supermarket without a car (we only have one car and Blake had it). This is what I came up with and we were awarded "the best decorated cake".

My Blessing In Life

How do I begin to tell him how lucky I am to have him in my life?

I'll start by saying what an honor it is for me to be his wife for eternity.


He's my best friend in the good times and my rock in times of sorrow.
He's the reason for sweet yesterdays and my promise for tomorrow.


I never thought I could feel this loved until I became his wife.
Every morning I wake up and see, him lying next to me.


He's the one I cherish and love, a blessing sent from Heaven above.
I will love him as a eternal partner should, and do everything for him I could.
I would let him know everyday, that I love him more than words can say.


For the three children we have together,and the love for Heavenly Father in each other.It will keep our love for each other strong, and the Lord will guide us away from all wrong.

Fairies Dust...

For my little girl, I wanted a special room just for her. I actually let her picked out the color for her room and she wanted her favorite color which is blue. I decided to add white because we had installed dark wood flooring and I didn't want the room to be dark . I also decided that the furniture would be white too. The dresser we got from Craig's List (Love that site) which I painted. I also changed the hardware. That was the easy part! I had a hard time find what I wanted originally. I wanted molding mounted on the walls to divide the color but I couldn't find the molding I had envisioned. We went to some many places but yet no luck. I was so frustrated because I wanted to finish her room. They my husband suggested a border, at first I was against it but then I happen upon a border that I fell in love with and the best part was it was on clearance for a dollar each roll. From that border, everything fell into place. Mya has always wanted these Tinkerbell fairies stickers and I thought it will work perfect with the border and now my little girl has her Fairies' Room.

Here are some photos of the results...

Before

After
This fairies stickers are ideal and they are removable

This comforter set ties the room perfectly. These fairies was given to her by her grandma for her birthday.

I decided that the fairies should look like it belong with the border and I feel that I made it work.

So again I want to thank my hubby for suggesting the border instead of molding. The room came out better that I have image.

It's FINALLY Done!!!!

We been working on the remodeling of our kitchen for the last 6 months. We had some major problems, like grout drying on the glass tiles and couldn't be remove except with ajax and having to remove all the grout we did and redoing it again. The paint was not the correct color (added dark brown paint to the color and now I love it) and barely had enough to finish the kitchen. Let's not talk about the outlets and switches we replaced either. BUT...I can finally say its done except for decorating but HOORAY! Here are some of the results...

BEFORE

AFTER

We had this empty space in the kitchen and we decided to open the walls to be able to have a open layout

This is the out come
Now I can be in the kitchen and still be able to see and talk to anyone in the dining room or living room

We also added this island

I been truly blessed with a husband who was able to make me and give me this beautiful kitchen. Next step is looking for a window treatment.
