Darrin & Janna's Stay

Darrin, Janna, Hailey, Emma and Cameron came for baby Jacob's baby blessing and we were able to spend some extra time with just them. They are always so thoughtful in all that they do and we love visiting with them. We really enjoy loving on these sweet cute little girlie girls.

Jacob's Baby Blessing

Our Sweet Baby Boy was Blessed on January 2, 2011

These are the great men that helped perform that blessing.

Grandpa John George Cannon, Jr., Stuart Jon Spendlove, Stephen Paul Spendlove, George Paul Spendlove and Darrin Michael Cannon along with Bishop Carl Henderson.

So grateful for the love and support of our family. We really appreciated all that you do for us. They even return to their homes having to take a detour since it was snowing in the Grapevine and they couldn't get over the mountain that way. Getting home was an adventure for all of them. But it meant the world to us.

Notes from Jacob's Blessing that Grandma Cannon wrote down:

This is an important time in our family.
Bless you that you can grow and develop.
A Joy to the family and the family a joy to you.
Develop a testimony.
Your sweet spirit shines through.
Desire to get to know your Savior and Heavenly Father
and know they are always there.
Choose the path of righteousness.
Differentiate yourself from the world.
Serve a mission.
Marry in the temple.
You are a strength and joy to your family.
{He had the hiccups all through the blessing} :)

We were able to enjoy this cold Sunday with them as we ate some Hot & Yummy Soups and then also celebrated Matthew and Rachel's Birthday.

Thank You: Mom & Dad Cannon, Mom & Dad Spendlove, Great Grandma Cannon, Dave, Emily, Karilyn & Christine Mauerman, Stu & Kathy and family, Darrin & Janna and family.

{Attempted} 2010 Christmas Pictures

Our first Christmas in Bakersfield and with the newest member of our family. I thought if I could get a good family picture {easily} I just might get some Christmas cards sent out this year. Neither one of those happened. And I'm ok with that. But here was our attempt...
