Becky: Through the ages, pt. 1

.
You can call her Bex, Reebock, Piranha or just plain Becky. Whatever you choose, she will answer with a smile on her face and love in her heart. Let's take a close look at our middle daughter.

Swing, swing. What could be more fun than that?

If you are going to wear a big hat and a bright sash, you might as well finish off the ensemble with a machete.

Sparks Nevada is known for its heat. The water park is amazing, and popular.

Hey, wait a minute. That's Laura's towel!

That's better.

This is one of the earliest photos that I have of Becky.

Who says that you need to keep your eye on the ball? Swing, swing. What could be more fun than that?

Those are authentic Oakland A's autographs on the ball. It was Firefighter appreciation day at the Oakland Coliseum. We got to go down on the field during warm-ups.

There is no better place to work through an issue than in your mother's arms.

That's better.

I have absolutely no idea as to what is going on here.

Note to Ben and Thomas: One pair of glasses per person.

Our front yard swing is tied to a limb that is 35' up. The ground slopes away. It is possible to get 10' off the ground at the far end of the arc.

Becky could practically hide behind her certificate.

Sometimes we play with water that is frozen.

What big eyes you have!!

The edge of Mom and Dad's bed is a great place to hang out.

You don't necessarily get big hands when you become Reformed.

Becky started driving at an early age.


Becky is a bright and beautiful young lady. She has filled our home with joy; we are blessed to have her in our midst. I sit between her and her mother at the dinner table; it's the best seat in the house.

be safe,

Bex is always a joy to have around. On the flip side, she can stare you down with the straightest face you have ever seen. The "big eyes" picture cracked me up!

Becky is such a sweet person! And she has such a bright sunny smile! It always brightens my day to see it! :-)
Love you Becky!
Amy :O)

Piranha? How ever did she get that name?

Cute hat! It looks like the ladies in the Hector household have the hat thing down...there haven't been any funny ones on their posts. :) Was she dressing up for the pirate party? There appears to be a person in the mirror wearing a bandana on their head, which made me wonder. Since I have no bright hat, I suppose that means I don't get a machete... :(

The picture of Becky on the carousel is just beautiful! And the one of her hitting the ball with her eyes shut...I can totally relate! :)

Newspapers make for good pattern pieces... Oooo, and she started out driving a Volvo! Very nice. :)

Ohhhh. She was so little. I'd forgotten she was so tiny. Becky is a sweetie pie. Her smile and joy are infectious. Good memories all around. She's turning into a lovely lady, pirate or no pirate.

Blessings, Mom

BTW I have never seen the "big eyes" picture before.

Becky, you are so cute! it is nice to see how much you have grown and matured in the years I have known you. You are a joy to be around, and a blessing to our family.

Of all of the pictures I have ever taken (which is not many), the one of you holding the baseball is my favorite, it captures your dancing eyes perfectly. Thank you for standing in front of the camera while I fumbled with the shutter.

Piranha comes from how she used to swim up attack you in the pool, just like a little flesh eating fish, it was very scary!

Love ya, sis.

BFH

P.S. I have never seen the big eye photo either, it was hilarious!!!!!!

Joy said...

I like the 'big eyes' picture... And the last one where she is holding the flowers. :-)
I can't wait to see you again Becky!

Miss.M said...

Love ya Becky...I can't wait to see more.
