Grant’s 5th Birthday

Grant had a really fun birthday this year. He got to invite his friend Sterling and his family for a night of bowling. After bowling he had a cool transformer cake and cupcakes!

Then the best part he and Sterling got to have a sleep over!!! They had so much fun playing video games and being boys!

The next morning on Grant's actual birthday- the highlight was his box of Lucky Charms for breakfast!! Gotta love a kid who is easy to please.

Happy 5th Birthday Grant!

I’m having a little bit of a hard time with this one.  Arriving into this world 10 days late at a whopping 10 lbs. 12 oz., Grant has always done things on his time schedule, his way!  His independence is one thing that I have always admired about him.  We love Grant for his sense of humor, his boundless energy, his loving heart, his abilities to make and be a friend, and his spirituality.  He might be turning 5, but on the other hand………..he is my baby!! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANT!!

WE LOVE YOU!

Christmas 2010

Christmas at the Cahoons is always filled with lots of fun and family. Here are the highlights in pictures.
Sorry about the sideways pictures Sherrie uploaded them and i don't know how to fix them.

Him’s or Her’s?

 

Conversation in Church today

Grant: "Dad, what does that say?” (pointing to the hymnal book on the back of the pew)

Daddy: “It says Hymns.”

Grant:  “Does that one say Her’s?” (pointing to the hymnal next to it)

Emma’s Baptism

The Happy Family at Emma's Baptism

ON November 5th Emma was baptised a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It was a really special evening. She played a duet on the piano with her dad, Grandpa Redfearn baptized her, Grandma Redfearn and Grandma Cahoon both gave great talks, and then she was confirmed by her Grandpa Cahoon. There was a really beautiful spirit there.

Pictures left to right are- Emma and Ireland, The O'Donnall family,Rachel (she and Emma are second cousins who share the same birthday) and Charlie, Aunt Marcia and Uncle Scott

This was the table by the door as you walked in. I love the pictures of Emma in her 2 white dresses. Sherrie did a nice job with the decoration. She had pictures of Emma all over the room, it was fun to look back and see how much she has grown. Also for refreshement she had all of Emma's favorites. Pumpkin Pie, Apples and carmel dip, chocolate and punch. She wanted mashed potatoes, but Sherrie talked her out of it.

And since I am updating this, I added this one of Emma and I!!! I was so glad I got to be there for her special day.

Emma’s 8th Birthday

On November 1st Emma turned 8 years old. For her birthday this year instead of a big party she got to take a friend (Gionna) and go see the "So You Think You Can Dance" touring show. Emma loves that show.

So she picked Gionna and they went with the family to see the show. They also went to dinner at Letherby's--Yummy!!

That week Grandma and Grandpa Cahoon, Aunt Marcia and Charlie flew in too, so we got to celebrate with everyone. And there was more celebrating to come with Emma's baptism. Stay tuned..........

Apple Hill 2010

While all of Jamie's family was here visiting, the Cahoon's made the yearly trip to Apple Hill.

Grandma Jane with the kids

Every year the kids take their pictures by the same tree to see how mcuh they have grown since the last time they have been there.

Apple Hill is such a fun place. The kids and the grown-ups love to visit every year. And a visit is not complete without some apples, pie and of course chocolate/carmel covered apples.
