Kennedy's Talk, weekend update



Kennedy had to give a talk in Primary yesterday, and she did such a good job. She was so cute, she picked a little poem out of the Friend, and then bore her testimony. I held a big picture of Joseph Smith for her, and was planning on giving her prompts, but when it was actually time, she pretty much had the whole thing memorized, it was adorable. She can't really read, but she recognized enough of the words in the poem that she wanted to hold the page to help her. I thought she looks so old! She took it so seriously, I was proud of her.





We had a really nice weekend. On Saturday, I took senior pictures for my cousin, Vicki, here at my house and around Rexburg. She is so beautiful and photogenic, it was really fun for me, to do the photos and to spend time with her. I found a couple of more great picture taking places, and I was excited to experiment. Luckily, it was the nicest day we've had so far this year, (like 60 degrees!) and a patch of grass emerged from the snow big enough to put up our new trampoline. Grandpa Jay got new home-owners insurance that required him to get rid of his tramp, so we lucked out...It was a beautiful day and we were able to spend some time outside playing. The kids had an absolute ball jumping, and, actually, so did I. It's been a long winter, it was so fun to have some sun!


We went down to Idaho Falls on Sunday afternoon, and I did a few more shots with Vicki around the falls, and the kids and Dustin explored. One thing about the warm weather, it sure brings out the wierdos. There was plenty of interesting people-watching yesterday. Fun, fun!





Here are some of my favorites from the photo shoot...I know, she is serious diet inspiration!!!

  7. How cute that she picked her own talk and worked on it. Fun way to remember it to on the blog. She seems so big to me. Vicki is beautiful as well , go figure that someone so pretty would be related to Shelli, should have guessed
