Thank you for making my life more beautiful.

Today is Kelsee's 13th birthday. Kelsee has brought so much joy and meaning into our lives. When she was born she truely did bring a whole new meaning to the word "love". We never imagined how much we could love her and that she could bring so much happiness into our lives. She is truely an amazing sister and daughter. Whenever I hear these words I think of Kelsee:

Kelsee is loved by everyone. She always fills the room with such a sweet spirit. Her friends and the Young Women all love her to death. Last year at Camp she was voted "camp cutie" because she was alway happy, sweet, kind and caring to everyone. Kelsee would love to be a teacher when she grows up. She love to teach children and she always has the best ideas and knows how to keep them focused. She loves children and proves it with her sisters. She is a perfect big sister who adores each of her little sisters. She is a wonderful example to them and teaches them something new everyday. She always knows how to cheer you up and know just what to say. She is an amazing artist and is so creative. She is an amazing creative writer and comes up with the best stories. She loves to dance and shares her talents. She has friends from Kindergarten that will be a lifetime. She becomes friends with those that our outcast because she sees their beauty from the outside in and helps others to realize that. She recently received a calling in Young Womens as a 2nd Counselor and is so excited. The other day the first counselor called her for some ideas and she knew right away what to do and came up with a thought and lesson. She is shy and unsure sometimes about her capability but puts all her heart into it. We love Kelsee so much and look forward to watching her grow. We love you sweetie...!

Hadlee's special day....

Hadlee was blessed on Sunday at 7 months old. We couldn't imagine not having Marilyn share this special day with us so we waited until she was feeling better. What a beautiful day it turned out to be. We had a house full of family and the feel of the spirit was strong. During her blessing Hadlee never let out a peep. Her aunt's were very surprised. The beautiful dress she is wearing was a dress that my Grandma Haacke got for Kelsee and all four of my girls of worn it for their special blessing day. We are truely blessed to have Hadlee in our lives. Her little personality is so different from the other 3. It is so fun to see them all with there own personalitites. She brings so much joy to us all. It is so fun to watch the 3 older ones with her ecspecially Avree. By the end of all her family visiting she was tuckered out. It was truely a special day and hank you for sharing it with us. We love you so much Hadlee Belle.

Do you ever wonder where in the world the days and time go! My girls are growing so fast. It has been a month since I have last posted. The last couple of months have been truely crazy and stressful. Here are a couple of pictures of my wee babies growing so fast. I am so grateful for my family and the blessing that have been placed upon Marilyn. We love her so much and we are so thankful and blessed to have her in our lives. We don't know what we would do without her. She has been a blessing to us and our girls. We thank our Lord everyday for giving her and her Dr's strength to get well. We love you Marilyn and we are so grateful to have you as our mom and grandmother.
