Happy 15th Birthday Kelsey

Happy 15th Birthday Kelsey.  We love you so much, and are so blessed to have you as part of our family.  You have brought more joy to your parents then you will ever know!  We can't believe out little girls is so grown up.  She's changed into a beautiful young lady over the past year.

Kelsey had friends over for a party on the actual day of her birthday, December 12th.  There were 5 girls and about 15 boys....hummm what's all that about?  Let's just say it was a long night for mom and dad.  The kids actually were very good, and they didn't leave too big of a mess.  The highlight of the party was the snowfall, and the mad dash outside to play in it.

We also had family and family friends over Sunday night for a family party.  Rick and Michelle and their boys came, as did Stephanie, and the Gamlieli family.  The Bennetts got snowed in and weren't able to make it.  We missed them as well as Grams & Gramps and the Doug Willey family.

"TINKERBELL"

  

I'm still trying to figure this posting thing out, but I decided

to take a shot at it...this is Kelsey's first job from the "Princess

Store".  She learned this song the night before from the

video.  The little girls were so cute taking pictures with

her and saying, "I love you Tinkerbell!"

Florida was a great trip. Nicole and Kelsey both had a dance competition and they did wonderful. 

We are so proud of them. While we were there we also went to Disney World with the Gamlieli's and that was a lot of fun. We went on a lot of rides, and we also did some shopping. We had a lot of time to spend together as a family.

Kelsey's EFY 2008

EFY was so much fun. It was the best week of my life. We had the best food and the cutest boys. hahahahah well the best part was feeling the spirt and reading my scriptures. One of the teachers said take it home put it into your life. Take what you have learned hear at EFY take it home and put it into your lives and make a difference in someone else's life. When we had testimony meeting i felt the Spirt and Holy Ghost so strong i could hardly take it. I know for a fact that my church The Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints is the true and living church. I was douting for a while that it wasn't true until EFY came a long and my whole was turned upside down just cause of EFY and i really am glad. I am making better choices know and i am trying to be like Jesus in every possible way i can. For those of you who are reading this really try your best everyday to read your scriptures and say your prayers, and be like him because it will really pay off in the end and your life will be so much easier and you will be so much happier. I promise you that. I know this church is true and the gospel is true. And i say these things in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
