For Christmas my mom and dad gave the girls a huge box of dress-up clothes including jewelry and shoes. The girls have had so much fun with it, especially my glamour girl Dani. Here are a few pics of them doing their "thing"!
In August Cody earned his Eagle Scout award. He has had a lot of fun during his scouting years and finally the end arrives. For his project he did saftey kits for all of the primary children. The primary and parents were invited to listen to Sheriff Bunn talk about safety. He then fingerprinted every child and those along with a strand of hair, a picture and dna sample were placed in a baggie for the parents to keep. Cody was given the Eagle Charge by his father which was truely special. We want to thank all of the friends and family for coming to be with him on the special day. We especially thank Alan Michelson for his dedication to scouting in helping Cody and for his friendship. Cody, we are so proud of you and love you very much!
Grandma & Grandpa Kennedy
This picture was taken while we were down in Marysvale at Tanner's baptism. (Why I didn't get a picture of all the grandkids with grandma and grandpa is beyond me). My kids love their grandparents dearly and enjoy spending time with them. My parents are my heros. They are always there for me and love me unconditionally. They spoil my children--but grandma would say that is love and the kids would agree. Thank you Mom and Dad for being mine.
WE LOVE OUR SEANEE B!
A highlight of our South Dakota trip was having Sean with us. We only get to see her maybe twice a year because we live so far apart. Sean has turned into such a beautiful young lady (we love all of the nieces and nephews!) and she has the sweetest of personalities. While in South Dakota she celebrated her 14th birthday and we snapped this special photo of her and Grandpa Bassett.
Gone But Not Forgotten
This blog is all about family, and even though Dan is not with us here he is still a very big part of this family. He will always be a big part of our hearts and we love him dearly.
Here are some pictures of us all at Bear Lake in August.
Our Family
How I love my sweet and special family. I thank Heavenly Father each day for blessing me with each of my children and my husband. Kirk and I have now been married for 16 years. We have 5 beautiful children.
Cody is 15. This school year he decided to try football and loved it!! He loves music and girls. However, his true passion is skiing! Cody is sensitive and has a fun personality.
Tyler is almost 11 and is so sweet. He is our video game freak but has also taken up snowboarding and is becoming quite good. Tyler also made the gymnastics team and will be competing this year. We are very excited to watch him fly through the air and do what he loves.
Nikole is 8 and is our amazing little person. In February of 2008 she was diagnosed with Type I diabetes. She is a rock and amazes me each day as she deals so well with this disease. Only 2 months later her diabetes triggered Celiac disease (she can't eat anything with wheat, barley, malt--that means a lot of stuff!). But diabetes does not control her. In January of 2010 she will start on her insulin pump. She loves to dance. She will be competing again this year and is so excited!
Dani (Danielle) is our drama queen. She is 5 and can't wait to start kindergarten next fall. She says the funniest things you can't help but laugh even if you should be mad. She loves to dance and draw and ski.
Joslyn is our baby and is now 2. She is so sweet and smart and God knew what he was doing when he sent her to us. She is going to be the biggest of our drama queens, but how could she not with all of her good teachers!
