Jaxon's Blessing

Hey everybody, this Sunday is Jaxon's blessing at 9:00 am at Steve and Jenny's ward. Hope to see you there.

Dad's new table invention

This was one of the funnest rides I have ever been on. For some reason, Dad, Barb, and I were on one, if you know what I mean. We just had a blast. I love my family with all my heart and can't wait to see you all at the gift exchange!!!

Remember When....

Go go Joseph!

Is that real chest hair?

Christmas Gift Exchange!

So after many hours deliberating...the gift exchange is back in action! And here are the assignments of Christmas Gift Exchange 2008! Go team Belnap!

Jerry and Heidi have Kim and Darren

Susie and Kurt have Dale and Ashleigh

Jennifer and Edwin have Jerry and Heidi

Steve and Jenny have Susie and Kurt

Jeff and Julie have Steve and Jenny

Kevin and Jen have Jeff and Julie

Kim and Darren have Kevin and Jen

Dale and Ashleigh have Jennifer and Edwin

The gifts are always great for the gift exchange! Let's all do our best to make them meaningful. Also, a family gift is fine--it isn't necessary to buy a gift for every single person.

Also, since we are on the subject of Christmas...

The Belnap Fam party is Dec. 24 from 12:00- 4:00 p.m. Every family needs to provide ONE musical number for the family program. For example, if I do a solo, then that is it for the Kevin Belnap family. Every family gets one shot in the limelight! After all, there are a lot of us, and the program could go on for hours. =). We look forward to a very eventful Christmas program and time to be together. One last thing, each number needs to be related to the Nativity or spiritually minded. Judy says no santa.

We look forward to seeing you all over the Christmas holiday.

Emma at her best!

So this is Emma's new hobby. She loves dancing. We borrowed a Barbie movie with ballet dancing on it and she hasn't stopped since the first day she watched the movie. She happens to be in her Halloween costume in this. She is wearing an old dance costume of my sister's. The tutu is so big she calls it a tail.

Kim and Darren's Wedding

September 13, 2008 Kim and Darren got hitched. They look great together! After a lengthy courtship, and an even longer engagement, the two finally got married in the Idaho Falls Temple. The entire Belnap Family was there! It's not as easy as it used to be to get everybody in one place. Kim's wedding is #7 in the Belnap Fam. There is just Brent, Barbara, and Bryndon left. Kim sure looked pretty that day! Congrats Kim and Darren. This is the Belnap Line-up--all ten kids in a row with Darren in the middle. In some ways it doesn't seem that long ago that we all lived together. I remember Jerry sleeping in the basement with the fake wall. I remember all six of us kids sleeping in the bigger room upstairs. I remember rides in the truck and FHE's of Dad describing Nephite/Lamanite battles. I remember singing by the piano together and good ol' basghetti on Sundays. Oh . . . the good old days. And now we are up to 26 grandkids and one on the way (as far as we know . . .). There are seven brothers/sisters-in-law and we are just going to exponentially grow. It's so weird that my little sister Kim got married. Good for her though. Here's the whole family with spouses and Mom and Dad in the middle. What a crowd!

This is the entire Belnap family . . .oh wait . . .where's Jerry and his kids? Jerry was taking care of a messy diaper and we missed out on him and a few of his chilluns. We need a family picture.
