March Birthdays - Copeland Family

This month, we had six birthdays in the Copeland family:

March 1st would have been our dear little grandson, Cannon's seventh birthday.  He returned to his Heavenly family nearly four years ago.  There is still not a day that goes by that he isn't remembered by his parents, his brother and sister, his grandparents, extended family, and all those who ever came in contact with him.  He made such an impact in all our lives.  I love to hear Ethan and Ella pray for their little brother in every prayer they say.  Canon, we all truly LOVE YOU!
Our wonderful granddaughter Lola carries her grandmother's name so well--so sweet and kind to others!  From the day she was born (and I was fortunate enough to be there), she has been such a joy to her family and everyone she meets.  She makes friends instantly with her fun personality and sweet smile.  She's a fantastic dancer and a great sister in a family of three brothers.  We surely LOVE, Lola, and couldn't wait to see her a few days afterwards when we drove to Kansas City to be at her baptism.
The Copeland family gets to celebrate two birthdays in one day--Dawson and Brady!  Our fun, little grandson, Dawson turned two years old.  He is a little guy who LOVES his dog Charlie, watching Peppa Pig, and taking a bunch of stuffed animals to bed with him.  He, also, loves being outside swinging or playing basketball, dislikes going to nursery on Sunday, but would rather sit on your lap in the adult classes and hardly even more the entire time, which is rare for a two-year-old!  We surely LOVE this little guy who reminds us so much of his daddy, Craig, when he was young!
  On Brady's birthday, the Copeland family added another teenager--he now turned 13 years old!  He is truly such a nice young man who LOVES his family, playing basketball, reading--especially Harry Potter books, watching and going to BYU basketball and football games, and is one of the most loyal LeBron fans I've ever seen!  He is a great piano player and very organized in his schoolwork and whatever he does.  We surely LOVE our new teenager!   
 We were thrilled to be in Kansas City to celebrate our grandson, Isaac's birthday.  I LOVE this kid's enthusiasm for life--he's always so much fun to be around!  He's a walking encyclopedia of all basketball and football teams--he especially loves BYU--and enjoys participating in sports himself.  He's a great brother and especially helpful to his little brother. 
Ever since he was born, our son, Kent, has always been so much fun to be around.  He has an extremely big heart and is always helping others!  I don't know how he accomplishes all he does in a day because he keeps so busy in his home, in his profession, in his community, and his church calling.  We have LOVED living so close to him and his family!  They have been so good to us!

Well, that's a wrap of the Copeland Family March Birthdays!  Happy Birthday to all!
