Bassett Happenings

Wow--life moves so fast! Here are some of the things that have happened to us in the past month and some things that will be happening in the next little while.

*Kirk's broken hand--Kirk broke a bone in his hand 2 weeks ago. He was snowmobiling and went on a jump, landed too hard and his hand went between the handlebar and brake. Because he gashed it open as well the doctor was not able to cast it so he is just in a brace for a few weeks.

*New calling--I have a new calling as the teacher for the 12-13 year-olds in Sunday School. I am excited to try this calling but I am a bit apprehensive as I am around that age all day.

*Bear Lake Dance Competition--May 9th will be Nikole's final dance competition of the season. She will perform 2 routines with her dance group, 1 with the entire team, and a solo. Dani also gets to compete in this one with 2 dances. Dani is so excited because win or lose each girl gets a trophy and after Nikole having so many Dani is ready to finally get one as well.

*Cody growing up--I know, it has to happen. However, I don't like it. He will finish drivers ed in two weeks and he has a real job for the summer. He will be washing dishes and busing tables at the Bear Trapper Inn in Garden City. He is very excited for both as they each mean freedom that comes with wheels and money.

*Baptism--Nikole will be baptized on August 1st.

I am sure there is more--but I will add that later. Hope you all are well and know that we love all our friends and family.

Four-Wheeling and Dirt Biking in September

EAGLE SCOUT!

EAGLE SCOUT!
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!

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.

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.
