Trent Stephens Veenendaal "Our He-Man" Trent was an angel sent prematurely on September 16, 1982, and passed away prematurely on July 13, 2009 from complications of a liver abscess.Trent had many challenges in his life but bravely he conquered them all. Trent loved teasing, pulling the cats tail, the Simpson's, Mylar balloons, hanging out with his buddies, going for rides, chocolate pudding, and sitting on 700 E. and 9800 S. to watch cars. Trent thanks all of you for the honks. He loved his family, especially his nephew and nieces, Dillon, Ashlynn, Danica, Samantha, and Bryhn. Survived by his parents, Danny and Gloria; brothers, Dustin (Stephanie), and Jeremy; sister, Shalise (Shawn) Benjamin. Preceded in death by grandfathers, George Veenendaal and Reuben Stevens; nephew, Ashton Robert Benjamin; cousins, Marcie Stevens and Taylor Logan Wallace. We have been so privileged to have such a beautiful, strong spirited angel dwell with us in our earthly home. We love you so much, Trent, and you will be greatly missed. Fly high our Angel Boy! Thanks to the many professionals who made Trent's stay on earth better. Thanks to Sandy City Fire Department for Trent's last ride home! Funeral services will be held Saturday, July 18, 2009 at 12 Noon in the Mt. Jordan 5th LDS Ward Chapel, 9331 South 300 East.

State on Friday from 6-8 p.m. and on Saturday at the church from 10:45 - 11:45 a.m. Interment, Larkin Sunset Gardens. In lieu of flowers, the family would love to see balloon bouquets.

Dance Recital

The girls had their first official dance performance last night. They both did a wonderful job! I thought for sure one of them would end up getting stage fright, but I was pleasantly surprised when Samantha said, "Well, I wasn't scared at all Mom." Anyone who knows Samantha, knows how unexpected a comment like that is. They were seriously so cute, I will have to figure out how to get the video on here. Ashlynn did her dance to "Wild Thing" , and Samantha did hers to "Baby Take A Bow". The girls' teacher, Stephanie Baker, put so much time and effort in to this performance. We appreciate all she does and teaches our girls, this has been a great opportunity for them.

Sunday Pics of the Kids

I took these pictures of the kids Sunday after church. I've really been in the mood to practice my photography lately....














Saying Goodbye to Ashley

I am a little behind with this post... A couple of weeks ago, I said goodbye to my dear friend Ashley Bailey. They moved to Logan. Ashley was the first friend that I made here, and really, probably the first person to make me feel like I could actually live here. I will miss her and her cute little family, but I wish them all of the best in their new adventure.
