TodaysMama and Gamestop contest :)

Hi Everyone,

 I decided to take a few minutes of my recoup time to sign up for this awesome contest.  The questions also seemed pretty fun to answer too :) 

Mama’s Holiday Wish List Meme

TodaysMama (link to: http://bit.ly/tmwishlist) and GameStop (link to: http://bit.ly/gamestop10) are giving away a sleighful of gifts this holiday season and to enter I’m sharing this meme with you.


1. What is your holiday wish for your family? Have a happy and healthy holiday!  Enjoy the time with each other.
2. What is your Christmas morning tradition? We just started it two years ago, fresh monkey bread baking while we are opening presents.  We get it ready Christmas Eve before bed.  Just one more thing for the kiddos to be excited about. 
3. If you could ask Santa for one, completely decadent wish for yourself, what would it be?
The Byzantine Castle of Molivos at the North part of Lesvos island.
Mytilene Greece :)  I have always dreamed of going to Greece to find out more of my great-great grandmother who I am named after.  My runners up would be either England or Germany.  I would love to this castle which happens to be in Bavaria where my "Becker" side comes from.
Schloss Neuschwanstein
4. How do you make the holidays special without spending any money? We try to make treats for our extended family and friends.  The most it is costing is our time.  My extended family this year is also doing a "talent" gift exchange.  We are sharing our talents of music, etc with each other instead of store bought gifts.
5. What games did you play with your family growing up? Monoploy and Dark Tower.  I also remember when we got our atari, I love Pac-man.
6. What holiday tradition have you carried on from your own childhood?  Grandma's house on Christmas Eve.  Also hanging the ornaments on the tree as a family while listening to Christmas music.
7. Where would you go for a Christmas-away-from-home trip? Most likely to Ohio.  We've never spent a Christmas with my family in Ohio.  Fortunately, we've been able to kidnap my parents for different years.   
8. Check out GameStop (link to: http://bit.ly/gamestop10) and tell us, what are the three top items on your GameStop Wish List this year?  DSi XL's for both Zoe and Emma.   Call of Duty Black Ops for Adam and Del and then Donkey Kong Returns or Wii Sports for me and the munchkins.

Sooo......

Well, there's no reason to beat around the bush. Some of you already know but our "little" family is going to get a little bigger. We found out last week that we are expecting the last little Price. We knew when we decided to have Seth that we were going to have one more and this time it just took a little longer. Baby Price will make an appearance just before Halloween, Oct 23rd. We are getting excited and for the moment feeling good. We'll see how long that lasts. Can I just tell you how glad I am it is not going to be in November or December. LOL.

My lil' Seth....not so little

Image
Every year I take the little kids to get their birthday pictures done in November and December. Since I wanted to get a new family picture with everyone I decided to wait. My sister Kris and her daughter Dawn are here visiting from Ohio and Dawn wanted to get a few pictures taken of her little boy AJ who is 5 months old. I told her about Kiddie Kandids and thought hey, I should get Seth's done since I don't have a single pic of him on my "kid" shelf other than when he turned 1. Emma was bummed that we didn't get her pic taken but I promised her we would go soon. I'm also looking forward to doing Adam's senior pics for next year as well as Josh's mission (keep your fingers crossed) pics in the next month or two. Anyway, here are the ones of my "not" so lil' guy who is now 2 1/2.....I love how they turned out.

Pres Monson :)

I just have to say, I thank Thee O God for a Prophet!!! For years I have sat back in silent admiration for our dear, loving prophet. I have been inspired and humbled by many of his wonderful teachings. I know that I'm not really supposed to share many of my work experiences but I couldn't help share a wonderful, humorous side of our prophet. Monday night I took a call from Pres Monson, he was looking for one of his secretaries who happened to not be available. He said that he would try again later and that maybe he would take a drive. He joked and even mentioned taking a walk on the boardwalk. I don't know how it happened but all of a sudden he and I were talking about Monopoly and he was quizzing me on the different names on the Monopoly board. I have to admit I must be a lousy Monopoly player, I could only remember a few of the properties. I even cheated a little and tried to google the Monopoly board for help. Pres Monson just laughed and said he's played longer th...
