Saying Goodbye to the Hansens

Kendyl, Caden & Aunt Michelle

Kendyl is Caden's best friend and cousin who has been living with Grandma Cook for the last three years. Her family moved to Colorado at the end of July and the kids had one more chance to say goodbye. Caden and Ashlyn made dolls and pictures for their cousins to take with them in memory of them. They still pray for them daily and wish to see them soon. They have such a sweet relationship and a friendship that Caden really misses now.

Lake House Visits July-August 2008

Grandma and Grandpa Cook rented a house on the lake for 4 weeks and invited us out for visits to play in the water and soak up some sun

Helping Hands

And she's sitting!!! Baylee now moves from tummy to bum on a regular basis....we're moving onto crawling hopefully soon!

The kids are helping out around the house and in the yard. Ashlyn likes to help vacuum and both kids want their own mop for the kitchen. They decided to use their fishing rods to help trim the trees and they are wearing Steve and Tara's shades as well...what a look!
