I've been tagged - gag
Thanks a lot Heidi!! It has taken me a while to get around to this but now is my window of opportunity. Zina is asleep and Wilson is trying desperately (without success) to grab the glue stick that I stuck right in front of him. OK. Here it goes - 5 facts about Becca Thomas....
1. I grew up mucking out cow manure and rotten silage at the family farm. I even had the opportunity to skin a raccoon. Unfortunately my mom threw out the skin after I left it sitting in her deep freeze for 2 years. And yes - I miss the farm and shoveling cow poop - but not enough to move back.
2. My husband and I are cousins... IT'S TRUE! We named our first child after our common ancestor - Zina Diantha Huntington Young. Ok - before you freak out it's about 4 generations back and Mark comes through her first marriage to Henry Bailey Jacobs (I think) and I come through her second marriage to Brigham Young. Distant enough...right?
3. I AM CANADIAN. Yup, and proud of it. I refuse to put my hand on my heart during the American National anthem until I actually swear allegiance to the country. It drives Mark crazy. If you want to know how I feel just listen to the song by Paul Brandt "Alberta Bound."
4. I love to bake yummy things. Some of my favorites include: Sour cream blackberry pie, Sour cream brownies, pumpkin squares with cream cheese icing, spice cake with panuchi icing, Peanut butter blossoms with toffee bits - oops Zina's awake. better hurry...
5. I have two beatufiul children, Zina and Wilson whom I adore and a wonderful husband who I think is the sexiest man on earth...

Primary Presentation
We had our primary presentation yesterday. Except our primary consists of about 10 nursery age children
and maybe 1 or 2 in the class just older - sunbeams? Anyways, it was still pretty cute. Zina had a little
part and got up to the mike and said "My faith in Jesus Christ grows when I listen to the Holy Ghost." She
had the nursery leader promting her and she did SUCH a good job. She had a huge grin on her face after
and ran back to us to see if we were as proud of her as she was..which of course we were - I admit I
could have cried if I'd let myself. Ahh, the things our children do to us - because about 15 minutes
previous I was about ready to sell her to the Indians when she had a screaming fit during the sacrament
and dumped my water bottle out all over the floor. Memories memories.
