Home Sweet Home

Well we spent this weekend in Firth, at my parents' house. It was a very fun, busy weekend. First on Friday night we went to a bridal shower for Jen at Isac's aunt's house. It was fun to meet some of his family and celebrate Jen's upcoming (very quickly upcoming!!!) wedding. The next morning we went to Jen's graduation from ISU.
She finished in 3 years, which is amazing. She doesn’t realize how amazing this is, and is kinda bumed because her degree is in university studies. But I say it is still amazing and kudos to her!!!


That night was Bec’s Junior Miss pageant. It was so fun to be there with my whole family and watch her perform. She is so cute and did such a good job. Marianne was actually still the reigning Junior Miss, so she did her little walk thing and it was fun to see that.


Bec did so good on her piano piece and I am so proud of her. She heard the song she played and decided that she wanted to play it. It was hard and she definitely put in the work to learn it.

I am so glad that all her hard work paid off. She won the talent portion, the scholastic, the interview, poise and also the over all title.


For poise she was given 1 of 6 questions. She had been practicing answers to each of them, but the one she was given was not one of the strong ones, we thought. She pulled out an amazing answer that blew us all away. Her question was something to the affect of why teens need the support of their peers. She told how she had been watching her nephew Marc earlier that day and had to go out and do some yard work. So she set marc on the grass and walked away. Marc looked around and realized that he was alone and started to cry. So she went and picked him up. She then said that in our lives we are sometimes like babies and need someone to wrap their arms around us and give us a hug. She did such a good job and I was so proud of her.
