Programs, Recitals and new tricks

Ok, so these pictures are not in order...and there are a lot...but they are cute!

Reese had her performance at school...it was a circus and Reese was a white dancing horse!  She loved her little tail!  I did not get many pictures...but here are a few.

 The three cutest redheads at the ballet recital!

 I don't have a picture of the action...but Bryn has finally decided to start walking.  She is still a little wobbly, but she is cute!

 These three can finally all sit at the craft table together...Bryn can get in the chair... and 

stand up in it (unfortunately) and get back out!

Reese's dance recital was this weekend, the whole recital was the production of Noah's ark.  Every group was a different animal or theme of the story...the last group were the rainbows!  The whole thing was really cute...but the bunnies were the cutest in my unbiased opinion.

Little Miss Ballerina herself...wow can't believe how much she has grown since last year.

 Concentrating hard during the dance

 Bebe came to watch the big show

 Hadley had her performance at school this week as well!  This picture sums up how darn cute and excited she was to do hers.  She danced and smiled like the wild little monkey she is.

 Hadley and mommy...I could eat her up!

Something Great about Eight

Exactly eight years ago these young ones got married!  Seriously is it possible to think we look sooo much older in a mere 8 years!  Regardless of looks...I am still in love with this guy and I feel incredibly blessed to have him as my husband.  Our lives look much different than they did 8 years ago...

We used to have a house with tons of storage space...now we have the same house with tons of little feet and no storage space.
We used to plan our weekends around fun things going on...we still do fun things but we for sure plan our weekends around our little ones...2 year old birthday parties are fun!
We used to go to the movies quite a bit...we now have a family movie night about once a week...in our living room...with popcorn and a great Disney treat!
We used to stay up late....we now crash after the girls go down...seriously we crash.
We both used to workout at the gym quite a bit...now we workout running around the front yard playing freeze tag and chase with the littles!
We used to have way to much time to focus on ourselves...thank the Lord our children have given us so much including a perspective that is not just looking in the mirror.

I recently came across a quote that I love and that I think is so fitting for us:

"Someday someone will walk into your life and make you realize why it never worked out with anyone else..." - anonymous.  Thank you Lord that Jason walked into to my life!

Update on J

So for all of you who have been so faithful to pray for my brother and sister-in-law (Jonathan and Caitlin) I have some good news.  Jonathan is doing better and they are just in the waiting stages now of finding a new donor and/or waiting to see if Caitlin's kidney is ok.

So, here is their new blog where they will continue to document what is going on!  Also, with the hopes that the transplant will be able to happen soon they have begun the process of trying to raise funds for the transplant.  All of the information is laid out on their blog!

Thank you again for your prayers!

We're Still Here

As with everyone else...life has been busy here at the Beckner house! We have had a lot going on...some stuff to share another time...but for now we have really been enjoying the weather outside!

Our street is a fantastic walking street...people comes from both neighborhoods beside ours to walk. We almost always take at least one walk a day...here we are strolling! Bryn is in the big stroller...I just forgot to turn her around!

We died Easter eggs a few times...this was glitter eggs...very messy so outside we went! (and don't worry Hadley's hair is wild but she had just woken up so it doesn't normally look that crazy)

A few weeks ago during Spring Break here...we went park hoping. We went to a different area park each day! Bryn gets so much love from her sisters!

We have also been enjoying our swing in the backyard...Reese and Hadley love to swing Bryn...bless her heart!
