Becca's Birthday SHOUT OUT!!!!!

Its my sister's 28th Birthday today!!!!!  She totally rocks so I thought that I would share the top 10 things that I love about her the most.

#1  For years, she would play catch with me in front of our house.  I attribute my accuracy in throwing to her because she would make me chase it if I missed.  And at our house that means I either swam in the pond or ran a mile to the barn.  Lets say I learned fast.  Thanks Becca for the patience

#2  Becca is the best cook!!!!!  Especially when it comes to desserts!  She makes the best cupcakes, sugar cookies, and apple pie that I have ever tasted!!  She usually has a theme with her cooking and I especially love Halloween because there is always something exciting to find.  Here are some of her creations. 

#3  She is the best mom!!!!!  Her little boy Ethan is a handful sometimes, and she is so amazing with him.  He is brilliant and its because of all the hours of school at home, bedtime reading, playtime, and love that she shows to him. I'm so grateful for the blessing our family has received by allowing Becca to be a Mom!  She's the best! 


#4  Becca has a great social and loving personality!!  She is always excited to see you, no matter how often or how long she saw you last.  Ethan has inherited her personality as well and I love their enthusiasm to see me every time they come over.  They are always smiling!!

#5  After years of being scared to even drive on the freeway, she has traveled to so many places and has totally come out of her shell to influence those that she visits.  She's been to Europe to sing, Africa for service, Alaska, California, Canada, and Seattle.  She is one brave chica and I am so glad that she has taken advantage of the opportunities to travel.  Here is a picture of her and Ethan in Alaska.

#6  I love her for driving me to school everyday in our Barney Bus that would break down when it rained, or when it was hot, or just randomly.  So many frustrating mornings of it not starting brought her to tears.  That car hated Becca and she hated it more.  But I will be forever grateful to her for driving me around to practice, parties, and school everyday.  ***Remember the Dead fish?****  Good times!

#7  She is the most jumpy person that I know!  When we were little every night I would hide in a different spot and scare her after she got out of the shower.  I would hide around every corner, under her bed, in the laundry hamper, behind her closet doors, or anywhere else that i could find to hide.  Without fail I would scare her every night!  So #7......Thanks for not killing me for each night of frightful suspicion.

#8  My sister's house is my own personal Blockbuster!  She has so many movies, and I always call her to borrow movies.  I need to invest in a Blue-Ray player cause all the new good ones that they have are in Blue-Ray.  But thanks for all the entertainment.

#9  Party Aunt!!  When it comes to planning play dates for the nieces and nephews, my sister is the bomb!  She is always such a good time and she always comes up with things to involve everyone.  Here is some of our summer parties!  We love time with our family.
#10  Becca loves holiday's!!!!!  If there is an excuse to decorate, party, or dress up, my sister is all over it.  Halloween is the best.  She always has a theme picked out for the family to be.  This year she, Brett, and Ethan were characters from Toy Story! 

At Christmas time, Becca's house is always decorated so cute and they bring in the Christmas Season Spirit by attending Spanish Fork's light festival.  Becca and Ethan love it.





HAPPY BIRTHDAY BECCA!!!!  You're the best and I love ya to death!  Hope you have a great birthday!
