A Little Funny...




Briggs has done especially well this last year at school. He was on the honor roll all three years of middle school and has received several awards along the way, the picture I'm posting if of the last award for Briggs in 8th grade. It was the Presidential Award of Excellence in School, not just academics but also excellence in all areas of his school career. It was awarded to him by the Principle of his school and it's was awesome to see just how many 8th graders were at this award ceremony. It made my heart proud to see so many people excelling in school. When we got home we asked Briggs to put away all this school stuff that was laying all over the floor of the basement and get it all cleaned up down there... to which he did, and at the same time decided to illiminate some junk he had accumulated. So, taking all that he was learned this year about being smart minded... he thought he would get rid of his drums... not by just giving it away... he decides to sell it... I didn't know anything about this plan, but when I went to leave later that day I noticed the following sign in our yard. The sign is about 6 inches x 10 inches big... ANYWAY, if it wasn't so cute and so "Briggs"... I would of taken it down, but what the heck... maybe he can sell his drums...

Our loving and beautiful daughter in law Dawn passed away Thursday afternoon 7 May 2009 after a courageous battle with cancer, with her family at her bedside. She left this mortal existence to go home to her Father in Heaven and family on the other side of the veil. Dawn graced our lives with love, laughter and joy and she will be greatly missed by our whole family. Our lives would be sadly different had we never met and added Dawn to our lives. We loved her so. It was our pleasure to know her and consider her our family forever. We look forward to spending eternity with her in a place of happiness and joy and devoid of sadness and sickness. We gladly acknowledge that our lives will forever be bound together through the blessings promised to us from our Heavenly Father.

Our newest Grandbaby "OLIVIA"




What a grand thing it is... to welcome a new grandbaby!! What a wonderful treat it was to meet our new little Olivia. She came to the world a couple weeks early and we are ever so thankful to our Father in Heaven that she came when she did... we had been waiting long!!! I am thankful to Oliver for posting to his blog so I could "share" and put her pictures on my blog... :-) It drove me crazy not being able to post the night she was born!! May I introduce little miss Olivia Kellogg!!
