Flashback Friday!

(back) Monica, Eva, Lisa,(front) Kyle & Shad Beckstrand

This is one of my favorite pictures, and one of the only ones I have with my Great-Grandma Beckstrand. This was at the hospital after she moved there. We lived across the street from her, when I was 5 or 6. What a special lady she was, I have some good memories of her! She was the mother of 5 sons, one of whom was my Grandpa, I'm sure they kept her very busy!

Well, I haven't just written about the regular goings on at the Dearden house lately, so I'm going to add that in. It's crazy here right now and will be for the next few days. My sister and her friends from school, go for a girls weekend every year, and this is that weekend....so, it's kid central here. We went from 3 hooligans to 6 hooligans! Really it hasn't been bad, but we'll see if I still feel that way on Sunday! It's been nice that the kids have been able to get out to play. I'm looking forward to summer, and the kids are too. Both the boys will be going to half a day of summer school. T-ball will start for Kaleb soon, but Brock decided he didn't want to play this year. Derrick has a new part-time job keeping up the Meadow park this summer. I know that he'll do a super job. He is such a hard worker and keeps busy with his full-time teaching job, and now 2 part time jobs! I'm stressing about girls camp.....there is just so much to do, and I really don't know where to start! I know it will all work out in the end, but it's hard not to worry now! I think we might finally be over the yucky flu that has plagued us this past week. All in all, things have been good here. I hope everything is good for all of you!
