Valentines Dance '09 - Linzy & Friends

My little Linzy all grown up! Aren't they too cute. . . She went with Trent Ricks.

Merry Christmas! Yeah shrimp!

Don't think that because we were by ourselves that we didn't enjoy a fantastic fried shrimp dinner! It was delicious and of course we all over ate and felt terrible afterwards. It was great! We missed you all at Christmas time this year. Maybe next year there will be better weather and we won't have just moved. We love you all and hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! See you all at New Years! Go 2009!

Hi All

Sorry, we kind of dropped off the blog lately. we've been a little preoccupied. We finally made it to Springville and so far so good. Graham likes his new class and Emery got to start preschool at Graham's school, too. What a blessing. The kids are having a great time playing outside in the snow every day. We're still getting aquainted with the city and finding our way around Provo for the big stuff. BYU is only about 6 or 7 minutes from our house, so if anyone is coming to a game, you are welcome to come stay with us or eat with us or just visit.

And still a few more of the farewell lunch gathering

More photos of Evan entering the MTC and farewell lunch

Evan enters MTC Wednesday, November 12, 2008

Hi everyone,

Today was another great day for our family, as Evan entered the MTC. Landon was also able to come over and surprise Evan and we all shed some tears together as we said goodbye to our oldest son. This was a great experience and Evan has really caught the spirit of this great work and is excited about his next great life adventure. We were all very proud today, including Megan who has been cheering for him with all her energy. Two down, two to go...

Hi Everyone!

These are a few pics of Asher!

We are doing wonderful here in Okalahoma! Asher is now 6 mo. old and is growing so big. He has learned to roll, as he did in church, right under the 2 benches. :) Dirk will be graduating in May and will pursue his career in orthopedics. I am still in nursing school and will be done in Dec. We are excited to see you all in November. (We will be in SLC for that entire month, so let me know if we can come visit any of you:) K love all of you! Kim

Bouncing Baby

Does this bring back any memories for anyone? I think of watching those home videos of Jeff and I bouncing in one of these in Mom and Dad's house. Livi loves hers!

This past week was (spirit) homecoming week at school. I also got to go on my first date and dance saturday! It was so much fun. For our day date we played mini golf and did the "amazing race" around town.

Weekend Fun!

Each weekend that the weather is good we try to take the kids and friends out in the boat for some water fun. We have really enjoyed out boat!!

Beautiful West Yellowstone

While the kids were on the Martin's Cove Trek, Ryan and I decided to have a little "alone" time. We went to West Yellowstone, caught a production at the Playmill (Oklahoma, it was fantastic) and drove home by way of Jackson Hole. What a beautiful land we live in!
