HIGHLIGHTS OF 2008!!!

Kaylie was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints on January 5th, 2008 by her grandfather. Her cousin Hannah was baptized at the same time. The baptisms were followed by a traditional trip to the ice cream store!


Meghan and I went to the General Young Women's Conference up at the Conference Center with other young women from our ward.



Jordan turned 12 on June 6th, 2008 and received the Aaronic Priesthood from his grandfather. He passed the sacrament at the Woolf's and Neeley's ward for the first time with his cousin Brady showing him the ropes. (He spent 3 weeks at the Neeley's home this summer and loved every minute of it!)



Jacob started Kindergarten in August. He was so excited! I can't believe that my "baby" has started school.

Meghan participated in the Junior High play "Fiddler on the Roof" and made the 9th grade basketball team! I have loved watching her games, they bring back many good memories of my own.

Mom is DONE with class!

I start my student teaching at Park Elementary School in January 2009. I am SOOOO done with going to class each day. Finals are over and I feel oh, so good!

Jacob's Kindergarten Christmas program

"The best part of Christmas, you really want to know?" So says Jacob and with so much expression too!

Kaylie turns 9!!!

Aunt Brenda gave Kaylie a gingerbread house for her birthday. Kaylie immediately constructed this house and with the help of her brothers-it all disappeared the following day!

I can't believe how big these girls have grown! Only yesturday, they were playing naked in the sandpile out back!

We love our Aunt Janis!
