A few Walbeck missionaries.

Here is a pic my mom forwarded all of our family of my brother in the MTC with my grandparents (on my Walbeck side) who just got there Monday. So cool they got to see him there. I miss him tons, but am beyond proud of him!

We had spaghetti for dinner

Love him :)

2 years.

Last Sunday my brother had his farewell talk, (which he did great on) then had family and friends over to the house for food. Wednesday came and we were up early, and ready to take reg to the MTC. We had breakfast before hand at village inn, then went to walk around the Provo temple and take pics until It was time to officially drop him off. I was a basket case, I just kept crying. Saying bye to my bro for 2 years was really hard. We are such a close family, and it's just crazy to think he will be gone for 2 years. But I could not be more proud of my brother Reggie. He is such an amazing young man, a great example, and one amazing uncle and role model for Schroeder. He will change so many lives in Texas. Although I will miss him like crazy, i will look forward to many letters, emails, and pictures. And also look forward to seeing him grow spiritually. And you bet I'm gonna have Schroe color him some sweet drawings. And we will also send him tons of sweet packages, treats, and pictures! I'm so proud of my brother.

I love you Reggie Bip!

Photo love.

After the afternoon I had, with a cranky baby boy.. I was feeling overwhelmed and upset. I later looked at this photo on my screensaver, and it reminded me that it's all worth it, and it will be ok.

I love my little boy :)

Sister is home!!

After three weeks in Europe my lovely sister is finally home! So happy :) I missed her tons!

Graduated already?

Last Tuesday Reggie graduated high school. I can't believe it! It was neat cuz he (being a senior class officer) got to sit on the stand, read off the students names, was the last name read to get his diploma, and got to lead the senior class in switching their tassels over on their caps..then lead them in the school song. To me this was so cool, I am so proud of you reg congrats!!

Call

About a month ago my brother got his mission call to Lubbock Texas! He leaves aug 15th.. Man I am gonna cry my eyes out.. But I am so proud of him for making the decision to go. He will fit in great!
