REBECCA'S BLESSING DRESS

What fun it was to gather as a family in Langley the beginning of March to celebrate the birth of our new granddaughter, Kaia Renee Pederson born January 27, 2013. Now that we have 3 married daughters it is harder to get together but it's always wonderful when we do! I just have to remember to take pictures! This was Kaia's blessing day in our church.

This moment was also special because we were able to use Rebecca's blessing dress that my friend Nancy Hill made for her 16 years ago! I was so happy that we could use it again. It was a treasure to scrap and I love the memories it brings back....

So this page (using Jana Morton's, All Star Graphics class)  is for Danielle, Rebecca, Kaia and my special friend Nancy from Oregon, who I still miss!

Rebecca and Kaia!

BASKETBALL CHAMPS

Mitchell's team, the Grade 8 Brocklehurst Broncs not only won the city championships this year but were able to attend a provincial tournament in Pitt Meadows where they placed 15th. We were proud of their team and how hard they worked. It's been fun to be a "basketball" Mom and watch 4 of my kids play basketball and I have to admit it's one of my favourite sports to watch. It's always fast paced and every year they seem to get better. Now that Mitchell is playing I'm seeing a definite difference in the level of play between boys and girls at this age! I'm also thankful for all the wonderful team skills he has been learning because this is such a good group of boys!!

When I read that Jana Morton was doing an All Star Graphics class, I signed up right away! I'm happy to be using all of my sports pictures in a new way!! Look for some more of these coming.....
