Arrow had her first BOC (band, orchestra, choir) concert of the year. She did such a great job on the cello. I am soooooo proud of her.

About Me
- becki
- Milwaukie, OR
- I have been married to my husband, Steve for 4 years and we both work very hard for our family. Steve is a self employed finish carpenter and I run a child care business from my home. This allows me to work and raise my family. We love to spend time together.
Me and my hubby
Steve and I met on March 22nd 2001. It was love at first sight and we decided to start a family right away. He was my rock during my divorce to Ryan and Arrow's father, which was final in July of 2003. We were married on March 20th 2004, right before the birth of our twins. We have managed to stay strong through the many hardships of raising a large family. I guess what doesn't kill us, only makes us stronger. Needless to say, we love our kids and they keep us going.

Sebastian Jamming
"THREE GRAND ESSENTIALS TO HAPPINESS IN THIS LIFE ARE
SOMETHING TO DO, SOMETHING TO LOVE, AND SOMETHING TO HOPE FOR."
Our Awesome Kids
Six reasons that I work so hard:
Ryan
Ryan is 13 years old and the oldest. He is a good example to his younger sisters and brother and makes me so proud. He plays football and baseball. His football team went to the play-offs this year. He also plays the trumpet, barratone and tuba. He is responsible and gets good grades. What can I say? He will start High School next year and we are excited to see what he can accomplish.
Arrow
Arrow is the 2nd born and 11 years old. She also makes me so proud. She loves chiuaua's, dancing, softball and plays the cello. She is a straight A student and my second set of hands. She loves to dress up her sisters and paint their nails. She is also very punctual and reliable. She surely keeps me on my toes.
Skylar
Skylar is the 3rd born. She is 5 years old and stuck right in the middle. She is my firey red head, right along with Ryan. She is strong willed, determined and particular in her ways. She is also very organized, smart and loveable. She is the leader of the little ones. She loves to dance and sing and entertain her sisters and brother. She is a little mommy to my Day Care Kids. She also loves to dance ballet and color. She is quite the little artist. Arts and Crafts are her favorite pass time.
Faith
Faith is the 4th born, one minute before her twin sister, LaReina. She is 4 years old and very spunky. She is my little glamour girl. She is always applying fresh lip gloss and if I can't find her, she is usually in the bathroom admiring herself. She loves to dance ballet with her sisters. She is my quiet and sneaky one. She also is very sensitive and attached to mommy. She loves to please everyone and is great at making up games with her baby dolls.
LaReina
LaReina is the 5th born and second born twin. She is also 4 yrs old. She is my little string bean and loves the color green. She is my silly goose and loves to make people laugh. She is always making weird faces. She is the most energetic of all of he kids and reminds me of a bouncing ball. She also loves ballet class and light bright and paper dolls. She is the drama queen and turns into a contortionist during her daily tantrums.
Sebastian
Sebastian is the 6th and last born of our family. What a great way to finish it off. He is already an allstar at the age of 2. He loves football, baseball, golf, soccer, basketball and well any kind of sport. He is also my little shadow. He loves to follow me around and help me with everything. He also likes to do everything his self. He also loves to talk. Sometimes I wonder if he will ever be quiet. He is the smartest of the bunch as he has had training from all of the older siblings.
The Canty's
Steve's parents have been married for more then 30years and live a few blocks from us. They are a huge support to our family and an extremely important part of our lives. Our children are so lucky to have them for Grandparents. Steve is the oldest of three son's. Mark is the middle son and lives in Witchita Falls Texas and works as a Speech Therapist. Jesse, the youngest brother lives here in town and we wish that we could see him more often, but he also works full time. The kids love their Uncles.
The Streeters
My parents have also been married for more then 30 years. They are also a huge part of our lives. We love to get together for Bithday Parties (man, there's alot of them) and Holidays. We are a very tight knit family. We all support each other in numerous ways. Dani, the oldest daughter lives in Utah with her husband Bob and Five Step Children (most of them grown). Mardi, lives in Oregon City with her husband Jared and son Conner who is 4 yrs old. Ami lives in Vancouver, WA with her husband Michael and their four children, Micah (14), renae (11), Kyle (8) and Corrin (6). Our kids love to get together with their cousins. Jessica, the 5th daughter passed away and we all miss her very much, but think about her often. Lance, the youngest and only boy, works full time at Fred Meyers and lives in town with my parents.
That is so exciting. I bet that it is really neat for you to have Arrow playing instruments that you played when you were her age. It's so mice that all of your kids and all of Ami's kids are so musically talented. Please tell Arrow I wish that I could have been there to hear her in person.
