Jared on 2 wheels!


He can start and stop on his own, turn around and even ride with one hand (for a second or 2)!!

Go Jared Go!

Here's a cute pic of that boy that we all love:

Another tooth gone!



Rumor is, the Tooth Fairy builds her house out of children's teeth. Yuck!
Does everyone remember that bathroom vanity/sink that was in our living room for years?! Here's a picture in case you forgot:



Scott did some work on it and here are the after pictures:

R.S. Bio

In our ward, our Relief Society has asked us to write bios about ourselves. Here's mine:



My name is Becky McBride. I’m turning 30 in November, but I’m not panicking because I’m happy with my life thus far. I was born and raised in Peoria, Az until I married Scott. We then lived in Phoenix until Nov. 2003, when we bought a house in Laveen. I have 6 brothers and no sisters. During high school, I was in the Peoria H.S. marching band, where I played the flute my freshman year and was on the flagline the other 3 years. I was captain of the flagline my Junior and Senior year, thank you very much! After high school, my main focus was to find my husband so I didn’t spend much time going to college. I regret that a little, but I don’t like to regret things, so I don’t think about it too much.
I’m sealed for eternity to the man of my dreams, Scott. He was lucky enough to meet me at a Halloween party 9 years ago. Scott and I were married in the Mesa Temple on May 19, 2001. We have 3 boys, named Bradley, 7 yrs old, Jared, 5 yrs old, and Jack, 2 yrs old.
In 2005, we lost 2 baby girls. They both had a birth defect called anencephaly. We named them Aubrey Marie and Abigail.
Because we wanted to have more children, we started looking into adoption. After much prayer and fasting, we decided that we needed to adopt a toddler from Guatemala. I’ll never forget when the adoption agency sent us our first picture of 2 year old Magno. He was beautiful and looked almost exactly like the little boy I imagined! We brought him home in February of 2007 and changed his name to Jared Magno. He fits with our family perfectly and was sealed to us on April 17, 2007. I was 3 months pregnant with Jack when we made the trip to Guatemala.
This past spring, I got pregnant again, and at 10 weeks into the pregnancy we found out that the baby had anencephaly. This time it was a baby boy, we call him Mark Jeffrey.
My very first calling was Sunbeam teacher. I’ve also served in the Primary as the secretary and currently as the 1st counselor. I’ve served in the Relief Society as the Enrichment Counselor, as the Activity Chair and my first calling as a married woman was; you’re not going to believe this, to set up the table in Relief Society. It was my job to get the table cloth, the flower arrangement and whatever pictures the teacher needed. Very important!!!
I love spending time with family and friends and writing letters to my Mom who’s on a mission in Toronto. I love my calling and love serving others. I enjoy watching movies, playing Mario Bros with Scott, singing and dancing with my boys, swimming and taking naps. I love hip hop, ska and rap music. My favorite band is the Dance Hall Crashers. I love tacos, sub sandwiches and bacon! My favorite restaurants are Garcia’s (on 35th and McDowell only) and Panda Express.
My faith has gotten me through my trials and is my prized possession. I love my Savior Jesus Christ and am forever grateful for what he has given me. Because of Him I know my family will be reunited one day. I love getting to know new people and talking about my family.
