My grandpa Everett Haselden. I love him so much. He was a character. He was crusty on the outside and a marshmellow (at least to me) on the inside. I don't think he could get through a sentence without a curse word, but even as a kid, I didn't think anything of it.....it just seemed to be a part of who he was and he didn't mean anything by it. I can tell where my dad got his good looks.
My now pic is on the blog to the side, but here is one of me blond. I tend to go back and forth between the seasons. Darker in fall and winter and blonder in spring and summer. I get bored easily.
Here are some pictures of my grandpa haselden, parents, myself and kids. I hate taking pictures and always have, so pictures of me are hard to find.
Mom and dad......
Us six kids........then. The line up is (from left, oldest to youngest) Becky, Leah, Luann, David, Me, Kirk.
Us six kids now. Well, maybe not so now.....I think this was taken in the 80's but this is the last picture taken of all of us together. The line up is (from left, youngest to oldest) Kirk, me (what was I wearing!!) David, Luann, Leah and Becky.
Well, I was updating this post with more pics and I ran across this one of all of us, sans David. He lives in Florence, SC. and couldn't make it up to Kansas for this. I sure miss him. This picture was taken a couple of years ago on Kirks birthday.
My Mom with my granddaughter Addison. Mom is a wonderful, strong, tenacious woman with a great faith in God. She taught me through example how faith will get you through anything. She is a very small framed woman, but huge in determination. Once she sets her mind to something, there's no stopping her. I have some of that in me, thanks mom.
My son Chris on the right, grand daughter Addison in the middle, and Chris's fiance Angela opening presents at Addison's one year birthday party. She has daddy wrapped around her pinkie already. He's a great father and I am so proud of him and despite the lack of the presence of his father in his life, he has become a great dad and on his way to becoming a great man. I love that I have so much family around and can be a part of their lives. It's such a gift.
This is my dad James Wayne Haselden with my daughter Meagan Spackman. My dad is the kindest, sweetest most loving men I will ever know. He taught me compassion and what it means to have a sense of humor to get you through the rough times. That was an invaluable gift.This picture was taken about a year after her accident in 2002. I am so proud of all the progress Meagan has made. I love her so much.
