U- Unknown fact about me: When I was little, my mom would let me pick out one doll or stuffed animal to sleep with.

Here is our little walking girl. She just turned ten months old and she is cruising now. This video was taken in her earlier walking stage (last week) but it gives you a glimpse of Kynzee's latest accomplishment! (She also loves her spatula)!

Great Grandma Beddes is in town and it is so fun to watch her play with Kynzeebug.

This little girl loves to play HARD!! One of the most common places to find her sneaking a snooze is her carseat. Other than that... she tries her best to push through the tired moments. SHE IS A WILD WOMAN but the biggest SWEETHEART I could ever ask for!

My name is McKynzee Destruction Beddes. I love to pull out clean laundry out of the basket that has just been folded and throw my toys across the room. One of my favorite games is to see how far I can launch a DVD case across the room. My best attempt did four full rotations in the air before it fell. I wonder what else I can get into...

Happy Mother's Day!

Oh how I love to be a mommy! With mother's day passing, it was a new experience to hear "Happy Mother's Day" being said to me. When I think about it, I really can't believe that I have been given a special gift to take care of forever and ever. We love our little bug and she has brought so much joy into my life. Randy and I were talking last night and he made the comment that I will never not be a mother again even throughout the eternities. McKynzee really has changed my life forever and I will ALWAYS be a MOM! I love that- I just hope that I can live up to the examples of the great moms around me... especially my own! I love you mom! I am so grateful that families are forever and that Randy chose me to be his eternal companion. He is such a wonderful man and I don't know what I would do without him. I am so grateful that I won't ever have to know the answer to that question! Happy Mother's Day!

Wow!! Can you believe how fast things change! One day they are crawling and the next they are walking!! Kynzee can take about ten steps on her own now and she is very proud of herself!

Fabulous Treat

This is a tasty and very simple chip dip that has become a family favorite. It is divine. My friend introduced it to me while I was doing my student teaching in Las Vegas. Since then, it has become a regular part of my life... mission companions loved it and my husband devours it. So I thought I would share...
Take a package of cream cheese and spread it onto the bottom of a small glass pan.
Then spread a can of chili (no beans) on top of the cream cheese.
Put that in the oven at 350 degrees for about twenty minutes.
Take it out of the oven and sprinkle shredded cheese (as much as desired) on top of the chili and cream cheese.
Put it back in the oven for 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Take your fabulous dip out and enjoy with some tortilla chips!
