I Still Miss You

My dad put this video together of my Grandpa who passed away in June. We all do miss him so much! I love you Grandpa!

Look who is 1

Little Miss Kennedy turned 1 on Sept 19! Wasn't she just born the other day?! They sure do grow up fast and she has turned into the cutest little girl and she sure has a sassy personality! Happy 1st birthday!

Since Kennedy likes to look at herself I had about 20 pictures hung around the house of her
and she sure did enjoy looking at them and would get a big grin when she saw herself!

The cute family!

Elaine and Shane enjoy riding quads and Kennedy got her very own! But don't worry the max speed is 2MPH on hers!

She didn't get into her cake at all! She touched the frosting and didn't like it and just wiped it on herself...

Opening presents! She didn't get the concept but who does at 1 :) She sure did love all of her gifts! She played with each one as Elaine was opening them up for her!

Us back in 2007...

Happy Birthday (a few days late) to Bear! We didn't really get to do much for his birthday since we were in the process of moving! We just went out to dinner for his birthday...boring I know! Each year I say I am gonna do something awesome for him and celebrate him all week long but it tends to creep up on me and I don't get to! My goal for next year is to celebrate big for him since he will be the big 30! I should probably start planning it now so I am ready for next year...


I love Bear and I am grateful for all he does for me! He is hardworking and wants the best for us and our future family! He is juggling 3 jobs right now soon to be 4...I don't know how he does it. He is running his company CLEAR Builders, got a job at the Toyota Proving Grounds doing Fire/EMT, working part time at GCC as a fitness instructor assistant with his friend who is the Chief out in Buckeye FD, and will be doing a reserve position out in Buckeye starting next month! I am blessed!

Labor Day

So I am a little behind on my blogging...we have moving for the past month and it kicked my butt and all we have been doing is packing moving and unpacking. I am so glad we are done with it!

Labor day weekend we took a needed get away up to Pine. Our friends have a cabin up there and were nice enough to let us use it and take my family with us! The weather was perfect and it was so relaxing not having to worry about things back at home for a couple of days. My mom, dad, and brother Joey came up with us! It might sound boring to some but we watched movies, went into town to the shops, and played games.

My mom used to play this game all time growing up and she was giving Bear a run for his money!

Sewing project??

So I tend to go to this website a lot to get cute ideas for crafts, yummy recipe ideas, and for the cutest fonts ever! Well as I was browsing their website, I came across this...

Dog Crate Covers with the bumper pads

I have a sewing machine and need to break it out and learn how to use it and I REALLY want to make one of these for Toby :) He won't care if I use his project as a first time trial and that it won't be perfect!!

Isn't it so stinkin cute!! I showed Bear and he just rolls his eyes...figures

Daily Thought

I was blog hopping(yes I am guilty of that :) and came across this quote on someone's blog...I really enjoyed reading the last part of it and it was also a reminder to me that I need to do better on my part...

"God expects you to have enough faith and determination and enough trust in Him to keep moving, keep living, keep rejoicing. In fact, He expects you not simply to face the future; He expects you to embrace and shape the future--to love it and rejoice in it and delight in your opportunities.

God is anxiously waiting for the chance to answer your prayers and fulfill your dreams, just as He always has. But He can't if you don't pray, and He can't if you don't dream. In short, He can't if you don't believe."
— Jeffrey R. Holland

Cuteness

Just some cute pics of Kennedy I had taken the past couple of weeks! Oh my goodness she is getting so big and ADORABLE! She gives kisses now! When you say "give me kisses" and pucker your lips so leans in towards you with her mouth open and kisses you! I am so in love with this little girl!

She loves Uncle Bear!

Family Celebrations
