Sea World in San Diego CA





The girls enjoyed lots of "Daddy time" in San Diego over mothers day weekend. Thats right - I stayed behind with Rebekah and enjoyed 4 days of peace and quiet!! Ahhh the sound of NOTHING!!

The girls had a hoot with big Daddy and these are just a few of many taken at Seaworld. They loved it and Emma especially enjoyed meeting her new friend "Shamu" !! Now when she watches "Happy Feet" she squeals for Shamu!

Rebekah Jane - our little sweetheart is Growing!!



We dont know what it is but this child delights us in so many ways - we just want to have more!! Rebekah is such a little sweety - so easy to please and just goes with the flow around here. Which most days is mayhem! I just have to smile because really what else can you expect with 4 Reckley girls!? (Its all Cliff's fault - hehehe)

So our little Beka is now 6 months with one tooth and another on the way in. She is eating solids now (ughh the diapers) and drinks from a sippee cup - YAHOOO I'm free, I'm free!! Hehehe - celebration going on here for mommy!! She adores her big sisters whom have their own special time with Beka when Mom needs it. She is sitting up now and loves to put everything and anything in her mouth. (Thank goodness for Clorox wipes!) She is also resting really well these days - from 8 or 8:30 pm till 5-6 am then back to sleep till 8am when I am ready to get my old lazy self out of bed. :)

She weighs over 18 1/2 lbs. and is almost 27" long. She is wearing size 12 clothes because - well she is chunky and the 9 months clothes are just too tight! So she is following the Reckley trend for 90-95th percentile on the growth charts - yahh for breast milk and good fat genes!

Spring in Arizona





Well, we have not quite decided which is worse - blowing sand or blowing snow?? The spring here has been a bit - well WINDY!!! So much in fact that if you dare go outside you will surely be eating sand! Not to mention - you also had better wear some eye protection! Although, the girls love the fact that you can ride your bike year round! We have found ourselves walking just about every day to the post office and around the high school. I usually push Monkey (Emma) and Chunky Monkey (Rebekah) while big girls Sarah and Anna lead the way on their bikes. Its quite fun - even for Buster!

So here are a few pics of the kiddos over the last few months (sorry I am a bit behind as usual)! What can I say, I am a woman of many duties - too many to list!
