Mom's Memories of Becky

1. Her name might have been Gus, because Greg was expecting a boy! (He played football and more with Becky growing up, so I guess she was a tomboy)

2. At age 2, she painted her toenails with hobby laquer paint in the middle of the living room carpet. It was less than a year old. The color was fire engine red.

3. She sucked her thumb. It was her best friend

4. She loved to take baths, and so she would stand by the tub and say: bathbathbath, and I want to Hampoo my hair. Her dad still calls her Hampoo at times for a nickname.

5. She learned how to ride a 2 wheel bike at age 3. She loved to ride fast

6. Becky used to make everyone play and dress up for her wedding in preschool. At the time, Brian Vincent was the groom. Of course she was always the bride.

7. Becky loved to hunt for our Christmas tree in the fall with her dad. They would find the perfect tree, mark it, and then never be able to find it again in December! Ask her what happened one time when she had to go "poop" in the woods.

8. Becky had hair bows to match every outfit

9. Becky had a black skirt in 7th grade that she never outgrew. It did get a whole lot shorter, though.

10. Ask Becky about the Grandma panties she got for Christmas during her college years.

11. Becky almost didn't major in communications. Lucky for Intrepid that she did!!!

12. Chris is her best friend and always will be. She has a bunch more best girlfriends too

13. We love watching the old videos of Sunshine Generation

14. She planned her wedding when she was little, and I think it turned out just like she had imagined.

15. She is the most fun to be around! We wish she lived closer!

16. Her friends and family are important to her, so be glad you are a family member or friend!!!!
17. I think I heard about a snow woman during her college years that might have been a tad risque!

18. She asked for pink snowboots from Santa one Christmas, and then was mad that she got them instead of something more fun.

19. She always hung her clothes up on the floor. Ask her about the time I cut up her favorite tee shirt. Hmm. Mean mom

20. When Derrick was born, she wanted to send him back, but my friends all brought baby gifts for Derrick and gifts for Becky too.

21. She didn't cry on her first day of school, but I did.

22. Becky has never been bashful.....at least not much! She knocked on a neighbor's door when she was about 3, and asked if there was a kid she could play with... Jenetta and her became immediate best friends. Does that surprise you?

23. She calls me almost everyday, and I would miss it if she didn't.

24. I loved to read her misadventures on the metro, How about some new ones from Salt Lake, Becky?

25. She was a good sport to have a lot of Halloween Costumes made from BOXES! Thanks, Becky

26. She was ruined for good when her panties didn't match her dress as a toddler. No wonder she has become such an expert shopper!

27. She always buys the best gifts, and makes me feel special

28. She made it fun for Derrick when her Dad and I would have a date night and leave her and Derrick home alone for a few hours. Derrick was so excited to do all the things she had planned. I think he still looks forward to the fun times when we visit Chris and Becky

29. And, my favorite all time memory of Becky is when she asked Chris when the dry cleaning would be ready to pick up from the Cleaners, and he had accidently dropped it off to the Salvation Army box with some discards from a recent apartment clean. Whoops.

Happy Birthday, Becky. You have made being your mom and adventure! Love, MOm
