Penticton Family Christmas


Nobody likes warm milk.
Apparently even Santa.
#donttrusttheparents #stillbelieves


Reunited in the Okanagan.
Full house.  Full stomachs.  Full hearts.
Merry, Happy Everything!

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas


We both can't look good - it's either Me or the House.
#HOUSEWIN.
Tis the Season - Christmas decorating, messy hair and
a Saturday OFF from the rink. #momwin


It's beginning to taste alot like Christmas!
Thank you for the excellent idea Good Housekeeping,
Kids were thrilled.
Minutes later -  this was spilled all over the kitchen cupboards and floors.
But this before pic is lovely - and so was the thought.


And because spending Christmas without the Sanches wouldn't seem right,
we drove down to Kamloops to celebrate Christmas a few days early.
Family is everything.  Life is better with friends.
Super lucky to have them as both!

Becker Family Christmas Greeting 2017



Hello and warmest holiday wishes from the Beckers!
We hope that this holiday season finds you cozy, comfy, happy and well. If for some reason not, there is always eggnog OR wine.  That usually is a little-used but well-known cure for all sorts of things....

2017 has been a memorable year at the Becker household.  We have had many blessings come our way.

Everyone is back to basics and back to busy. School, hockey, activities, birthday parties, work life - so far, we are back on track and back in family balance.  Rink life is becoming more of our life than ever between Jason and Braxton's hockey schedule.  We always find a way to make it work.  Bella is old enough to schedule her weekends accordingly, which means finding a friend to hang out with so she can skip brother's hockey altogether and I keep up with my social network via hockey rinks and scheduled in date nights with galpals.

It sounds exhausting doesn't it?  But it all works.  Perfectly, actually.
This is the only schedule and balanced life we know. It's OUR life.  I have a happy, healthy, loving family - everything else is a bonus. We surround ourselves with good people.  Friends we call family.  I consistently feel love and support from them all.   

As 2017 comes closely and quickly to an end, let's end it with happiness, 
joy and inspiration.
"Life is what you make it, so make it great."   
Be thankful.  Be grateful.  Be kind.


Wishing you joy and cheer this Christmas and always.
May your days be merry, bright and full of love.



Much love from our family to yours,
Jason, Jaime, Bella and Braxton.

Balance - Work Life

"Finding your balance in life is essential to unleashing your true potential."


If it's not working, fix it.
Life was beginning to become unbalanced - work life.
For the better of my being and my family, 
I made the decision to get back on track.
I shut the door on my career in the bank.

But when one door closes, another one opens.
Look out world, I found everything I wasn't looking for.
I'm excited to learn all about retail and merchandising.
I am currently working for a local boutique in Penticton.
#discounts #fashionlover 

When all of this isn't keeping me busy enough,
I'm also working for a good friend - Grant Media Inc.
Modelling, public relations, community events:
just naming a few of my new hobbies.

Prairie Visit


Roadtrippin'
Praire Bound


A crowded cabin is better than an empty castle.
It was the perfect place to surprise dad with
family, friends, love and laughter.
Happy 70th. 
Cheers to the lake life.


Count your life by smiles, not tears.
Count your age by friends, not years.


It's always great to WAKE at the LAKE.

Only Kindness Matters


High Fives and Teary Eyes.....
486 Days since his last haircut.
All because he wanted to do something special for sick kids.
His heart broke when he learned what sick kids have to overcome
and mine melted when he told me why he wanted to grow out his hair.
Sports recognitions, excellent report cards - cannot compare
to how proud I am of you for this.
Love you, Mom.

The Big Reveal!
Today, we donated enough strands of hair to make a full wig.

Sunshine and Summer in the Okanagan



As we watched the Okanagan sun set,
