January

Here are some photos showing what we have been up to this month. We are definitely keeping busy and the month is flying by. Brynnley has started playing on a club volleyball team and had their first tournament. They did great considering this was new to most of them. I think they had a good time and learned a lot. Brookelyn had a couple more Cheerleading competitions. More fun! She loves it and always does great even if the team doesn't win the big trophies. Camden has started playing basketball and is loving it. He really seems to want to learn to play. We have also tried to get a few ski days in. The snow has been a little lacking, but I think that may change! Before we now it February will be here and we will be off for some fun in the sun in Panama. What an adventure that will be.

Blake & Brynnley - Jackson Hole

Blake and Brynnley headed off for Jackson Hole for a little daddy daughter fun. They made it up there just after all the avalanches and were able to ski at Grand Targhee. They celebrated the New Year's with some crazy folks at Snow King Lodge. They saw lots of wild life including moose, wolves and elk. They went snowmobiling out to some hot pots. It's a good thing Brynnley went with him because there is no way I would have got wet in those cold temperatures. She is a brave soul! They had great talks, watched lots of movies and enjoyed the time away.

In Memory of Grandma Kent

Grandma Thelma Kent passed away on Dec 28th after having a stroke on Christmas Eve which she never recovered from. She was 88 years old and was ready to move on to the next phase. We were able to attend her funeral and remember her and the life she lived. She was a strong women, who kept a tidy home, but was not remembered as the greatest cook. She was remembered to be a talented seamstress which she passed on to her daughter. Our family was lucky to get to spend a little extra time with Grandma toward the end of her life. She lived with Blake's parents for the last 9 months and was very much a part of the family activities. Grandma Kent was the last of the Great Grandparents for our kids. We will always remember her spirit and the joy she brought to our lives.
