IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN!!!

The calendar for 2009 is in need of pages---if you don't want to do a scrapbook page (9x11)(typing paper size) just get a picture to me. I'd like them before Thanksgiving! Grandma K

Life in Utah!

We're getting settled into our house in Utah. Our house is about 90% put together...we don't have pictures or anything hung yet, we're still waiting for Marci's visit to do it! haha! However, we do have most of our stuff put away and organized...well I should say the stuff we're pulling out. It'll come together, hopefully today.

McKay started school on Monday. His teachers are Margaret and Maria. He has I believe about 10-12 kids in his class. He goes Monday through Friday from 8:10 to 11:10. He's adjusting, but he's doing okay for the most part. He loves going, which is good. He loves having a backpack and toting it around.

Since we've moved here, McKay's taken over our coffee table in the living room. He has turned it into his downstairs train table. He brings excess tracks down from his real train table and creates his own tracks downstairs. It's kind of nice to see him playing with some regular stuff for long periods of time.

Charles has had some days off work to help get the house organized. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. We tend to go and do things rather than spend all the time we need to working. He goes back on Monday though, and I think I'll be a little bored without having him as a distraction.

I'm still working on getting all of my things complete so I can start working as a sub, and hopefully as a full-time teacher soon. Let's pray someone goes on Maternity leave or something, so I can get a job!

Other then that, our life is normalizing. We did get new phone numbers: both home and cell numbers. Be looking for the updated phone list soon to have them on there (or get them from mom/grandma) if you need them! We miss you all!

Here's a picture of McKay enjoying the stairs at our new house!


Here he is on his first day of school...he was so anxious to get there, he kept trying to sneak out and didn't want to pose for the picture! :)

Blown out of the WATER!!

I was shocked that so many have posted besides Mikaela and I. Thanks for the pictures--they are great. Korrine, I will go to your blog! Katelyn, I expect to see some "cheer" pictures! Anyway everything is way cool! Love, Gram K

Basketball Season is Almost Here

http://sessannafamilylife.blogspot.com/

I try to post as much as I can, but things have been busy around here. Anyways, Hope everyone is enjoying the fall weather. We miss you all!

more cabin pictures

Bergens b-day party

It's pretty bad when we have to go to the blog because our college son will not call us ever! I'm sure that if i took all his moneyu out of his account he might be calling.

We went to the cabin this weekend with BErgen and some of his friends for his birthday. We then went to Jubilee and hiked the 2.6 miles and canoed around the lake. We saw a bald eagle there and saw or rather smelled a dead dear in the water on our hike. It was fun. It had rained so it was nice and moist everywhere. We are going to attempt to put some pictures on here.

hey family!

sorry it took us this long for are family to figure out this whole blog thing! lol, now that i figured it out i dont no what to say, um... cheer is been going pretty good so far, except for when we lose. its depressing, i am so used to the football team winning! i just need to get used to the fact that were not so hot anymore lol o well life goes on. well here are some pictures of madison, macy and i before a football game.

WOw! Dolls!

I was thinking that you go to college to get "dolls" but, now I believe that you two
are really into the "Church" atmosphere! I guess I was thinking "live" dolls! So what are you doing?
Jase, are you liking school (that's what you go to class for)? Kortney, I haven't heard about your new roommates? Jase, is Kortney running interference for you?
It's begining to feel a bit like fall--cold night, hot days. You guys are probably about ready for snow? haha.
Kortney, hope that you are still beating the guys away! Have fun, you only are young once! Love, Grandma K

The Jesus Doll

Well I have been getting queations about the Jesus doll pictures that Kortney, Jase, and I took. Lemme just tell you that only Nicole Behrends would own a doll like this. We had a bunch of great laughs.... Jase possible had the best time of us all :) So here they are... enjoy family!

Refresher Course, Shall We?

Since I've heard it through the grapevine, that a few of you technologically backwards folks can't seem to blog, I thought I'd give you an update! :)

To start a post, you must log in. The login is: rayknightfamily The password will have to be emailed to you or call mom for it!

After logging in, it will take you to a new window...select "new post" at this window.

It will bring you to a screen, where you can start typing away.

For Pictures just below the title of your post box, there is a little button that has a picture on it...click on there. Then download a picture as you would if you were attaching a file...go in and browse for the picture, select it, then hit upload.

When you are all finished typing your post, you may then publish. Go down to the bottom of the screen, find an orang box, which says, "publish post" click on that, and voila' your post is published....

I think everyone should post 2-3 times in a row, and it will become like second nature. Soon our blog will be hopping like days gone by, and I (Mikaela) will get to see my nieces and nephews through pictures, since I am no longer a Washingtonian!

WE TOOK A FISHING TRIP!!

Hey Cyd, thanks for the pictures! They even look like us---not to confuse with the P.O. photos! We, the Harris' and R. Knight's left Thurs (late) and went accross from Camp Wooten to a Campground. It was right on the Tuccannon River so it was great. Just scary to see how close the forest fire got to C. Wooten. It was a great trip with not much for fishing success, but since we only went out once and the three Harris males each caught one (small had to throw back), it was fun--maybe not so much for Spencer, who Grandma knocked off the 5th wheel step not once, but twice! Probably scarred him for life. We had some great dutch oven meals thanks to the H. family!
Low and Behold who should appear on our doorstep this morning (Sat) but Jared Black. He was on a Scout bike trek! Maybe next year we will camp some more!! Love, Grandma K.

Hey family! It's the long lost Cydney writing from the U. Grandma-sorry it took me so long to get these posted. You actually have Kortney to thank for getting on my case! Mikaela, charlse, kelli, scott- you guys rcok, thanks for visiting. With that being said, hope to see the rest of you all soon. And I'm gonna put my lil plug in here for Utah Women's Basketball and say come to a game- we're gonna be good as always. Love you all, enjoy the photos. Jase makes me laugh :)

Update from PA

I really need to get better at taking pictures. Ill have to take some over the next week so everyone can see how big Aubrey is getting. i bought her a sweater the other day and it was a 6T!! I couldnt believe it! She now sleeps all the way through the night in her own bed and is going potty on the toilet. Its been a pain, but i want her out of diapers by the time the new baby is born. Alan is working a ton. He just recently got a second job at wal-mart to put some extra money in the bank for when we move in March/April. My stomach is finally starting to poke out. I got over the morning sickness about 3 weeks ago. I did go swimming the other day and can still fit in my pre-pregnancy suit with extra room. YEY! I will post pictures as soon as I can. Im leaving to go to DC today so I'll have some extra time to get some good pics.

We really miss everyone a ton! Ill post soon. xo

Alan, Korrine, and Aubrey

CHRISTMAS 2009

I have Camp ENSIGN reserved for December 24 (Thursday) thru December (Monday) 28 2009. Please mark your calendar and plan to be there. Let me know if this is going to be a problem. Mom

HERE ARE THE PICTS!

This is a mini pickup that Dad just got (it' kind of a cross between a pickup and a 4 wheeler! (Scott got 2 of them). The Stagecoach was in the shop and could not get a good shot with all of "stuff" around! Mom

We are having a senior crisis!

Well, now we are owners of a Stage coach. I'll try to get some pict taken. I'm kind of afraid that we will need a "four up" to pull it. And we've had trouble getting a horse shoe person to come up and shoe the critters! Have a great day! Love, Mom

Happy birthday!

I've also been thinking of our special angel on her 19th BD. I think we all have the same sweet wonderful feelings for her. When I think of patience, I think of her. How much uncomfort she must have endured. When you need to scratch your nose, shoo the fly away, or ask for a drink and millions of other things--I think of Cassie, with those beautiful eyes that spoke tons and you knew that she could communicate! We truly love her and hope she will wait for the rest of us-- that can scratch our noses,and show us the way! Because she did that while she was here for her short stay. Love and kisses Cassie and to your family, those Sisters who did not know her-- you need to never forget that when life hands us the tough things--that we still can look to Cassie. Eternity will give you the things that life denied! We will always learn from you! Love, Grandma K

Happy Birthday Cassie!

Today would be Cassie's 19th birthday, and I've found myself thinking of her a lot today. I'm not sure about the rest of you, so I thought I'd write some of my thoughts on our blog, and I hope others will take the time to write their rememberances of her in the future. I remember when Cassie was born and brought home from the hospital. It was so fun to be able to go over to Scott and Kelly's trailer after school to see the new baby. I'm sure Kelly really appreciated all her little helpers at the time. I'll also remember her infectious laugh. She would have us all laughing when she would be sitting in her wheel chair giggling. She had such a sweet smile. Cassie also had the most beautiful blue eyes that just sparkled. She truly was such a sweet addition to our family. I'm grateful to her parents who allowed us the opportunity to look after her. I realize now as a mother of a difficult child, it isn't easy to find people to help. So I'm glad that she allowed us to learn from Cassie and to be involved in her life. I look forward to the day that our family can see her again. Scott and Kelly, we haven't forgotten this sweet little spirit that was sent to your home. You two were such great examples to me; never complaining about the difficulties you faced. I appreciate that so much. Cassie, we love and miss you!
