A Bunch of Becks and Beyond

You've Got One Shot, Charlie Brown   ( I fund this and had to share so true) Another nostalgic post. Respect your elders. We got the Deseret News every evening.

Its nice to see them all growing up and adding more love to our family.      It was nice to see Michael and Martha, even though they live in San Diego we don't get to see them often.   Then on the Saturday after Thanksgiving we cooked up another bird and shared it with all our kids and the missionaries.   Then we got down to putting up Christmas around the house. Since we are having our first C
