I know.  Ready to pop at any moment.  I feel every bit as big as I look. :)  Bekah enjoyed the rare privelege of painting today.  She started out so well...by the end, she'd abandoned painting in the lines and it was a gooey, all fingers on deck, free for all.  And then bath time.

This morning, Beks and I were reading in her Rhyme Bible.  We were reading the story of when Samuel hears "Elijah" calling him, but after a few times realizes that it's God talking to him.  Bekah asked, "Where is God?" (he's not in the picture for sure!).  I told her we can't see God.  It's kind of like the wind-we can't see it, but we can feel it and see what it does.  Then she told me she

We had a wonderful time last night taking Bekah ice skating for her first time.  Her little skates were precious.  She was so excited.  Walking to the ice in her skates was like most things in her life-she booked it with confidence and we had to stop her from climbing on things in her blades! Curtis was a great teacher and Daddy (the first time she almost fell, she exclaimed, "I was about to

While I was sleeping... Bek:  I want my Mama. Curtis: Who's "my Mama"?  I don't know who that is.  Bek:  You know, the one who cooks a lot in the kitchen? Curtis:  Hmmm, "my Mama", I still don't know who you mean.  Bek:  You know, she has long, black hair?  Curtis:  I'm still not sure... Bek:  You know, she cooks with the microwave and I help her sometimes? Curtis:  I'm not sure who you mean.

Beks daily piles her doll and food on the rocking chair and tells us she's on her plane going on a trip.  Usually it's to Africa, often to visit cousin Kate.  She is always so excited to announce that she's home and gives us such warm hugs, you'd think she'd really been to Africa.   She got these building blocks for Christmas (thanks Nana and Grandad!), and we built this together yesterday

Bekah has begun drawing faces!  It's really the cutest thing and we are quite proud. :)  The picture below is her drawing of herself.  She drew a bow on her head.  So funny!  After throwing up again last night (and the night before, but not in between-weird), this morning Bekah woke up hot and lethargic.  Curtis told her he was sorry she was feeling sick.  She replied, "It's ok Dad, I'll get

My Mom and Dad came to celebrate an early Christmas with us.  I'm so thankful that they can visit often.  This sweet little dress is from Auntie Ang and Uncle Dan. I love this.  Bekah wanted a front pack for her doll.  She saw it in an American Girl catalog.  My parents found this doll that came with a front pack, a diaper bag, a moses basket, etc.  She loves it and it's perfect timing

While playing with the nativity this morning, she exclaimed, "Glory to God!  Baby Jesus is alive!".  Amen, Bek, amen.

We got a fake tree this year for free from some friends who were moving.  I feel like a BIT of a Scrooge not getting a real one, but can I say just how incredibly convienent it was this year??  Oh my word.  Especially being that it takes a major effort for me to traverse Target these days with my big, sore pregnant body. :)  Bekah was so excited to help and was a great little helper.  She is

Bekah has been busy playing with her doggie and her baby.  Doggie was a baby, but "grew up to be a big girl" this afternoon.  They are taking care of her little baby now.  Bekah's been telling us that SHE is a baby a lot lately...preparing for our new arrival I think. :)  We had a good day today and even made it to the zoo with Daddy.  It was a bit rough on this mama's pregnant, tired body, but

We'd been looking forward to going to the pumpkin patch for weeks, and when we went (October 29th, mind you), it had closed 2 days prior!  I nearly cried and Bekah DID cry.  A pitiful little pout and big tears. Luckily, we were still able to enjoy the farm and even got to bring 2 cute little (1/2 priced) pumpkins home with us.  It was a fun day with Daddy and Pops and Mimi.  We also had Trunk

So, this is not the fall craft.  This is a wonderfully thoughtful pastor appreciation gift from our church.  A gift card for each month of the year to eat out.  We are excited to go on lots of dates!!  You can't see it real well, but Bekah has smothered chocolate from her snack size kit kat all over her face.  All over. I didn't know a snack sized candy bar could make such a mess.  And now (

Just last night at church she told a few ladies that she wants a sister because if it's a brother, she'll burst into tears.  Crisis averted!  :)  Now for a name...

Bekah's friend Maddy from church-they invited us to Jumping Jax, a really cool indoor place for kids with lots of things to climb on and slide down.  Bekah LOVED it.  She, of course, wanted to slide on her back with her head first.  Such a daredevil.  The various stages of Curtis' beard coming off.  So funny.  My favorite is the ridiculous last one.

 Beks helping decorate the cookies.   Working away.  Curtis is taking Greek right now, along with 3 other courses.  Bekah wouldn't cooperate for this one, but she's been loving the books on record we got from Curtis' Nana passed on thru his Mom.  This thing saves my life!  She loves it and I get to sit next to her and get work done while she's listening.  Genius!

I'm bummed I didn't fix our camera earlier in the summer, as we had a great time on the Oregon coast and here at home with Curtis' Mom and Dave.  Alas, it is just now recently working again.  Now you can see how big Bekah and I are getting.  Ha! My parents were able to come for a couple of nights and my sister Becca has been here this week.  I'm so thankful they can visit.

You make your "aminals" have conversations, you have fake conversations on the phone.  You

I loved this idea I found on-line!  How cute is this bulletin board for Bekah's room??  I painted a white frame black, cut corkboard I had in a box to the right size, covered it with fabric I had on hand, and pinned on this cute flower trim.  So fun!

Bekah was making "candy" today with her play doh.  She declared it "awful".  She meant "awesome".  She has trouble with that word. :)  Today she told me that she was sad in her heart for me about something.  Where did she get that phrase?  She also assured Mimi that Jesus is always with her when she has scary dreams.  Oh, this child!  So delightful.  She even mentioned her uncle Gary while

Rebekah wanted to be just like her cousins Jake and Ty when she saw video of them playing basketball.  We decided to invest in a little tykes hoop and a mini basketball.  She was so excited!  When we put her ball in the cart at Target, she said, "I love it, I love it Mommy!  I love it!".  She just exudes joy-makes it hard not to buy her the whole store. :)  When we told her she could play with it

Bekah woke up asking to skype with Mips and Mimi today.  We'll have to try that later! We went "shopping" with her shopping cart and built a tower out of leggos.  She told doggie today, "Jesus loves you doggie".  We read about Jesus dying on the cross and she informed me that she wants to follow Jesus.  Right now she's busy building various things with her play doh.  In the pictures below she

Rebekah Jane, I just have to tell you that I wouldn't trade this season of being home full time with you for anything.  We've been putting your little play house together and singing "One day soon" together.  You know all the words and are singing it over and over.  I just love you so much and cherish this time.  (One day soon, I'll be with you, woa woa woa, one day soon, when life is through,

I re-learned this word today.  It is caterpillar in French.  Today Bekah and I read The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Then made a caterpillar out of an egg carton.  We painted it together and put on googly eyes and an antenna.  We talked about how we are like the caterpillar.  When we believe in Jesus and ask him to live inside of us, he does!  And his Spirit makes us new.  Just like the caterpillar

Curtis and Bekah have been reading a book on Curtis' new ipad about how the elephant got its trunk.  I'm not sure exactly how the story goes, except that in the end, the crocodile bites the elephants nose and it somehow gives him his trunk.  Today we were at the zoo and Curtis asked Bekah if she wanted to see the crocodiles.  She told us that she did NOT want to see the crocodile.  Why?  Because

Bekah would not look at me for me to take her picture today.  Or she'd look for a sec and purposefully look away when it was about to take.  She was awfully cute wearing her little apron to cook in her kitchen....  And some quotes from the last few days... Bekah raced ahead of me to go downstairs at church last night.  She was speeding down the stairs and when I caught up to her, she pushed me

It's in the upper 80's today and MUGGY.  I hear it's only going to get more muggy...I think I'll spend half the summer with my head in the freezer.  If anyone wants to send us a little extra cash for our electricity bill, I won't complain. :) It is a beautiful day actually.  The wind helps keep it bearable and our little house is surprisingly pleasant.  Bekah is in her darling spring outfit (

Can it be?  These 6 years seem like they flew by, but we are such different people now that it must have been 6 years!  As I sit here and type, Rebekah is singing "Rejoice! Rejoice! And again I say rejoice.  Rejoice in the Lord always..." as she paints blobs that she claims are Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and the Prince and Cinderella.  Yes, Rebekah, we should rejoice!  For lots of reasons,

I was reading her the story in her rhyme Bible about the man who builds his house on the rock.  She pipes up, "And then the big bad wolf comes?".  Ha!  Our washing machine is broken, so I was using our neighbors 2 doors down.  As we were walking over (Bekah pushing her play shopping cart full of "actual", or pretend, food) Bekah says, "This is a fun little Mommy Bekah date".  We took Curtis

I'm wondering when we'll see the end of the snow here in Kansas City?  Maybe April will bring a little bit of warmth and sunshine...and perhaps storms and tornados?  I didn't realize how temperate the west coast is!  Bekah has been fighting a cold...a lingering cough.  Nights have been rough, days have been rougher.  Can you believe that she hasn't learned yet to obey and be kind even when she

Lent is slowly growing on me.  I am not real excited about making sacrifices...but I'm growing to believe that in the right context and with the right heart attitude, Lent is a GOOD thing for me, a gift from a GOOD God.  Curtis recommended that we might follow the Christian calendar in some of our house decor.  Below are some pictures of how our house says "Lent".  I found pretty much all of

My favorite story from my parents visit was when they were about to leave and Pops said, "I love you so much Bekah."  The whole weekend she'd been replying with, "I not love you Pops" (stinker!), but this time, she said, "I love YOU so much Pops".  Oh, melt my heart!  It's taken most of her life to warm up to Pops in an affectionate way, so this is a much welcomed stage.

I woke up thinking about a friend of mine who lives in Europe.  I felt God prompt me to get up early and email her...then saw she was online.  We had a wonderful chat!  And we decided to do a Bible study together and talk about it accross the miles.  How fun is that?  How wonderful the way God works!!

Poor Curtis has strep throat. He got a shot as an antibiotic, and it's still lingering....so we may be back at the doctor tomorrow, as we were yesterday.  As you may guess, it wasn't Curtis' most romantic, thoughtful Valentine's day. Poor kid.  He's pretty miserable.  On the upside, Curtis' Mom and Dave sent us a wonderful treat in the mail.  He decided the pain was worth it and enjoyed some

This morning I crawled in bed with Rebekah for a few minutes before we "woke up".  She was drinking a cup of water and spilled a little on my shirt.  Me:  Who spilled that water on my shirt? Bekah:  Was her name Re....Mommy?  Me:  Did you just say ReMommy? Bekah:  Ya.  Was her name Re...doggie?  Me:  No. Bekah:  Was her name Re...bekah?  Sheesh.

I really made them while she was busy putting the sparkling stickers anywhere BUT on the valentines.  But I think she had fun.

I got a bit overzealous and took  Bekah to the zoo (with my early bday present of a membership!).  It was 2 degrees outside.  It's a cool zoo.  I think it'll be WAY cooler when it's not 2 degrees. We mostly stuck to the indoor exhibits, but even still Rebekah was in tears when we left because she was so cold.  She didn't want her gloves on, which I do not understand.  Unfortunately, our heater

Bekah loved her Valentine's Day package from Pops and Mimi.  Stop it right now.  Sesame Street stickers. Today Bek and I went downtown with my girlfriend  Christie and her litle girl Brooklyn.  We went to Kaleidoscope where the kids can do art work (by Crayola) for FREE.  The kids had a lot of fun.  You can see that Bekah hadn't drawn with markers all over her face just yet...

Bekah was calling out to me (over and over) before 6am this morning.  I told her to go back to sleep and said, "I love you, baby."  To which she replied (over and over), "I not love you Mom."  Manipulation at it's best.  Sorry, Bek, not gonna work! Then later this morning, I thought it would be a good idea for us to memorize a new verse-"Do everything without complaining or arguing", as she's

Bekah's imagination is taking flight.  Today we had a couple of returning visitors...Mr. Fox was spying on us and the Tooth Fairy was tapping on our window.  I'm learning that Bekah has an incredible memory (like her Dad) and characters from books stay with her...and pay us visits!  Bekah has been sleeping terribly lately.  I was so exhausted yesterday and decided to put into effect a technique

Today Bekah was singing along with her worship cd from pops and mimi.  When track 3 came on (trust in the Lord with all your heart) she told me, "this is my favorite song".  And as she sang along, we realized she was not getting all of the lyrics quite right... "Trust in the Lord with all your heart.  Lean not on your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your

Bekah's Greatgrandma Smart knit her some wonderful gloves to match her snow coat. She loves them. She also loved the stickers Great Nana and Grandad sent.

Curtis:  You are beautiful.  Rebekah: Call me beautiful? Curtis: Ya, what do you think of that? Rebekah: It makes me happy.  Curtis: If Daddy and Mommy and big girls go to the bathroom on the toilet and Bekah goes to the bathroom on the toilet, what does that make Bekah?  Bekah: Happy?  (I guess she'll get logic and deduction a little later in life).  Curtis: Who loves Bekah? Bek: Jesus.

It's been a combination of eventful and uneventful...lots of being home.  A flat tire in the snow (Curtis is the man and got the spare on in the freezing cold).  New friends for Bekah and I (a gal from church and her little girl, who is Bek's age).  A couple workouts with our renewed gym membership.  And lots of firsts.  First week of school for Curtis.  First time shoveling snow for Curtis.

Curtis built a fort with Bekah last night and they had fun reading inside with a flashlight.  Today it started snowing at about 2pm and now (at 6pm) we already have INCHES and it's supposed to snow all night....like 9 inches.  We're not in Kansas anymore.....oh wait.....

Curtis comes home today (2 more hours!) after being gone since early Friday morning.  We are definitely anticipating his arrival.  Today Bekah had fun painting, coloring, and putting stickers on a paper.  Then we traced her handprints and made them into butterflies (on-line idea).  She also spent some time "washing" the dishes for me.  Passing the time!

A couple of days ago I painted a moving box pink.  Today we decoraed it with princess stickers.  Bekah tried out her after Halloween clearance Minnie Mouse costume.  All of her bracelets, purses, dress up shoes, etc. are now in her box.

Bekah wouldn't look at me (until I told her not to!) because she was "getting ready for the day".  She was heading to Peet's, sool (school), Tollhouse, and church.  Busy day! Complete with her princess shoes, necklace, and Cinderella purse.

Bekah is love, love, loving her kitchen and pretend ("retend") food.  She's always setting up parties for her friends (her stuffed "aminals"). She's adjusting fairly well to our new house.  She's not sleeping fantastic, but we're getting there.  I was up with her twice last night, which is 2 too many times for a 2 year old in my opinion...Any experienced Moms out there with tried and true advice

Today Bekah REFUSED to take her nap.  Curtis and I left on a little date and my Mom and sisters were at the house with Bek.  She was in her room and started calling out again (this was like attempt number 3,000 to get the child to sleep).  My Mom went in and she was diaperless and told my Mom she pooped.  Yikes!  She had put it in her play kitchen sink.  Oh. My. Word.  Curtis got out of her later

It has been so lovely and relaxing to be home with my family for a few weeks without any added responsibilities!  A bit unreal, actually.  Here are a few pictures of us enjoying Thanksgiving...  My wonderful Grandparents...  Loving Mimi Stump...caught Auntie Joan off guard. :)  With cousins Jake and Ty....they love to carry her around!

Bekah loved shopping, being the checker at the "grocery store", water play, and ESPECIALLY the "vet".  She walked the stuffed dog, was the receptionist, even climbed into a doggy crate herself.  She was in heaven. :)

We have lived in Livermore, CA for over 6 years and it has truly become home.  And, as life goes, we are now relocating.  To Missouri.  Yup.  In January.  Brrr. We are currently packing up our house (that we LOVE and HATE to leave).  We'll be moving in with Curtis' Mom and step dad for the first 3 weeks of November while we each finish up our jobs here and say good bye.  Then we're heading up to

 Bekah loves M&M's.  Apparently the only thing she loves more is, and i quote, "rice".  She is so not my daughter at times.   We're kinda potty training...in other words, it's a bit hit and miss these days...  With best buddy Bella Tennyson at church.   A much needed gettaway to Angels Camp-such a fun, restful couple of days!   So much hair!!  Today Bek, doggie and I went to a little hay

We had a great time with my family at Disneyland.  We wish we could see them every week, but the times we do have are always sweet.  Bekah wasn't so sure about the rides at Disneyland, but she did LOVE toon town. We got back today from a 2 night stay in San Francisco, just the 3 of us.  We had such a good time away.  We walked until our legs almost fell off (we ALL fell asleep by 7:30pm last

Any other tired Mom's out there?  This child is so loved, but I am so tired!  She's such a handful...Just a few pictures. I guess Bekah forgot that it is almost 90 degrees today.  Her most beloved doggy.  Today she slept for 2.5 hours!  Hallelujah.  I thought finger painting would be fun.  She got mad when I tried to show her how.  She thought I was stealing her pudding. :)

We had a really cool wine festival downtown. We all got drunk. Just kidding. Actually, I think many people did, but we didn't personally. Not this time. Just kidding (again). ANYHOW, they blocked off downtown and had blocks of booths-jewelry, kids accessories, food, really random crafts, etc. It was really fun to walk around and since we live really close to downtown, it was especially

Homemade play-doh...yum!! On a walk with Daddy and doggy-two of her favorite things! She was quite pleased to have a big girl water from Peet's. Sitting next to the ramp she loves to run up and down outside the convent at the end of our street...making herself at home. Don't you love the one pant leg?Happy cousin time.Her darling Easter dress-thanks Auntie Ang! Grandma Fields got Bek this

Important parenting lesson learned today: always have a towel and a change of clothes in the car! Here, Bekah says "Cook" and pretends to make cookies. :)

Little Family Pic above... THe girls at Meagan and my joint birthday tea party at The English Rose-so fun!! The tea party for the high school girls at our house...Love, love, love the pigtails! One morning upon waking, Bekah wanted her big coat on and then picked up her dog and juice. No, we were not going anywhere.

about my sister Bec:#10. How dang beautiful she is... #9 How she leaves ridiculous pictures on our camera every time we are together. #8 her sarcasm#7 her style-I know it's backwards that the older sister copies the younger, but that's how it's been with us for some time now. #6 how good she is with kids-Claudia adores her as much as we do. #5 her desire for the Lord-as shown thru her studies,

We walked to Peet's this morning (my farewell coffee-well, until next weekend. :) and Bekah pushed her new baby doll in it's stroller the whole way-nearly 4 blocks! She had a tough time staying on the sidewalk and not veering right and left, but did not really prefer help-she kept pushing our helping hands away. Gotta love independance!

Amazing that this adorable little creature threw a FIT, I mean F.I.T. outside of Old Navy today. Screaming, crying, arching the back, refusing to be comforted. Finally I carried her away like a sack of potatos on my hip. So humiliating!

It's Christmas time in Livermore...the lights are up, fake snow was trucked into downtown yesterday for the CHristmas parade, my feet were cold in my flipflops last night, and I felt a little chilly today walking downtown in my jeans and sweater. :) We got our tree today (only $29)! Curtis' Dad and Stepmom came with us, and Bekah was eating up running around the tree lot and having lots of

Curtis' family was in town and it was so good to see everyone! Here he is with his sisters, Auntie Megan and Auntie Erin. Love you girls! Family picturesThis is Bekah's face when you ask her to smile. It's awesome. She did it yesterday for the first time and we laughed so hard!

Going to Grandma Fields' house... Wow, look at the candy! Trying to get a good picture with baby Rowan...as you can see, it didn't happen. Rowan with Meagan and Garrett...they dressed up as white trash. Perhaps not politically correct, but quite funny! Our little pink poodle! Curtis asked me tonight if it was child extortion to put her in a costume and take her out near her bedtime to go

Bekah and I had fun at the pumpkin patch today...she ran around and was much more interested in the grass and discarded pumpkin stems than anything else. She mostly climbed OUT of the fun red wagon, even when it was moving. So happy to be playing with her stuffed animals! I think this is so sweet. Blowing bubbles.OH, we love her!

Bekah LOVES, I mean LOVES dogs. She literally shreeks with joy when she sees them and points them out from a distance on our walks. It's really funny. Don't worry, I take the dog out usually once she falls asleep, especially at night. :) Reading her rhyme Bible from the Moffats. She loves it! A miracle that we were both smiling (hard to get me to smile you know) and that it's semi-centered!

For your viewing pleasure, more fun pictures of our baby girl! Oh yeah, how ridiculous that tomorrow she is 1 whole year old? I wish there were words to describe how incredible she is. God has been so good... Bekah is an outrageous sleeper. She is exactly like her dad (Me). I just like to refer to it as "active sleeping."This is in the airport before our trip to Orlando. Bekah loves apples.

We knew she'd be doomed to have tons of hair.If you say "ring ring" she'll put her hand or really any object to her ear.How does she sleep like that??This is how I found Bekah one day...just shoving them in her mouth.

Look at how he adores "Uncle Curti". When we were saying goodbye to Dan, Ang, Jake and Ty, Jake said "But I want to see Uncle Curti and Aunt Jane every day!". Stab right to my heart. Curtis' moment of glory. Curtis and Dan discussed theology pretty much from the moment we said hello to the moment we said goodbye. Curtis was loving it.

We had an amazing time in DC! Curtis' sister Erin lives about mile from the capitol building, so we were right in the thick of things. We had a fantastic time with Erin, relaxed, and saw some pretty cool things. It was a really rich time together.

Curtis surprised me with some pretty amazing pictures of Bekah that our friend Chelsea took in a daffodil field by the school where I work. They turned out amazing!! He also went to a ceramics place and painted a picture frame for me, with Bekah's hands and feet print. So fun! She's not super cooperative at this age, so props to him for all the effort! I love it.

Curtis has decided to implement "Mustache March". Lovely. Actually, this man cracks me up on a regular basis...he told me this morning that he has a very gracious wife. I agree. Here's our little munchkin at 6 months! Oh, how time flies. She is such a joy. She has lots of energy...often all 4 limbs are flailing. She's a shrieker and a bubble blower. She puts everything in her mouth,

Hooraah! I got more pictures up without letting months expire. I have been realizing lately how important it is for me to get these up in a more reasonable amount of time. I have the luxury of admiring my beautiful daughter every day, while there are many in our families who don't get to. I hope these little snippets of her life help you feel like you are part of it!Oh, BTW, Rebekah has been
