Nothing can stop this little one.

Becca has been the funniest little walker. She took a couple of steps shortly after her first birthday but had a few hard tumbles which freaked her out and she has furniture walked or used what ever else she could come up with ever since.

first there is this toy which is an actual walking toy.

If the walker is no where to be found she will use one of the chairs from the little table set. She often walks, turns around and waves while saying bye-bye like in this pic.

Then she discovered she could push these 3 drawers on wheels to get to what she wants too.

and now my favorite, all by herself. Looks like she finally got the confidence to try it out on her own. She still crawls quite a bit, but at least she will walk if she has too.

Graduation Day

Today was Jaden's kindergarten graduation, he was so adorable. The kids sang and danced to Mambo #5. It was so cute, Jaden sure had some great moves. My baby is getting SO big.

He looked so cute despite the fact that he gave himself a haircut. (of all times to do it, he would pick now).

This is Jaden's teacher Ms. Carrasco. She is in my opinion the best kindergarten teacher EVER. We are so glad Jaden was able to learn and progress with such a fun and amazing teacher. She really is WONDERFUL and I am sad that we won't have her next year.

HELP

I'm getting a bit frusterated. I've heard people are having a hard time viewing my blog. That all they see is a white page and pictures. No words. I tried to fix it but lost all of my side bar stuff. Arggg.... Anyway I re-did my backgroud page and hopefully you can see it now. If you don't mind, leave me a comment or email me at debbmoody@cox.net and let me know what you see. I'd really like to know if it's working now or not now. Thanks.

We're moving!

Okay, so it won't be anytime soon, but we know where we we want to live. For our 10 year anniversary Ryan took me to the Beautiful Sedona Arizona that we've heard so much about. It is absolutely breath taking there. The people were so friendly and kind and it has such a cute home town feeling. The nice thing about his job is they are needed everywhere, so we thought we might look into it. I doubt anything will come of it, but it we both love that place.





We enjoyed a nice drive of the area and hiked over to this gorgeous view.

We ordered take out and enjoyed a nice romantic night in by the fire. We stayed at the Kokopelli Suites in the King suite, and boy was it ever "sweet"

We had to be sure to get a picture of us together. These pictures never work, but they are fun!

Ryan beat me to it, but I thought I'd just post about how wonderful it is being married to my guy. It's true we've had a view bumps and bruises along the way, but he is what gets me through all of the hard times. When things are especially difficult he has a way of making me laugh and helping me see it is all going to work out fine. I can honestly say that marriage is more wonderful than I ever thought it would be... that means Ryan is more wonderful than I ever thought any husband could be. I never thought that I could love someone more than I loved him when we got married, that he would grow to become more handsome to me, and that he would love me with that same devotion. He gives so much to me and the kids. I love to see how excited they get when Ryan is home because it thrills me to see that they recognize their dad is wonderful. The kids have increased our love for each other exponentially. I love you Ryan. Thanks for asking me to be your wife, thanks for sticking with me, and thanks for making so many of my dreams come true. Here's to many more wonderful years.

Married to Debbie - From Ryan

I can hardly believe that Debbie and I have been married for a decade now. I am sure that those of you who are married will share the sentiment of "It's been the best of times, it's been the worst of times...." And they are times that I would not trade for anything in the world.

I have to say that when we were dating way back when, Debbie and I would talk about futures plans I mentioned that I wanted to follow my dreams and work in Law Enforcment. When I returned home from Argentina and married Debbie, I attempted to start in Law Enforcement, I wisely heeded Debbie's counsel and did not do it at that time. Years later when our circumstances had changed another, and even better, opporunity to follow that dream presented itself and I was able to follow it. I bring this up becuase I would not, and could not now, follow that dream without the support of Debbie. While at times I am sure she is not too thrilled with some of the sacrifices asked of her, she is there to support me no matter what is asked of her.

One of the things that impresses me the most about Debbie is how great of a mother she is. To me Debbie is the ultimate mother. There are times when I am humble by how "in tune" Debbie is when it comes to our children . I don't know how many times she has called while I was at work to voice a concern over one of our children. Distracted and involved with work, I would blow the incident off to Debbie being paraniod, only to be proven wrong time and time again by my wonderful partner. She is a blessing and a example to me.

In short, the last ten years have only been wonderful, but trying as well (and in their own way, a way for us to grow as a couple). If I could only use one word for Debbie it would be AMAZING.

Blah, blah, blah

That's how I feel--emotionally not physically. Arggg...it's been one awful week. And that's all I have to say...[This blog thing is really therapeutic]
*What do YOU do to get out of a bummer of a mood?

She's got talent

Becca loves music. She is so funny at church she puts both hands up in the hair and spins her wrists around and jabbers along with the hymn's. Well she loves this first song I have on my blog and always "sing" it when I am on the computer. It is so funny and I was able to get a few pictures. Look close at her tounge and you can tell she's sings "la la la la la la" just like the song.
