Here's a list of whats gone down:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oct '11- My amazing Grandma Moffat passed away just a few days before her 95th b-day.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oct'11 - My amazing parents left on their mission to the Dallas Texas mission</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nov '11 - We finally bought a house!!!! </span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nov/Dec '11 - We finally got pregnant after 13 months of "trying"</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jan '12 - Kylie started Preschool two days a week. It's heaven for Mommy!</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Feb '12 - We moved into our new house</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;">Feb '12/still - We are renovating new house on our own.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Don't worry I'll go more into depth on each of these fun new things in our lives. It took us about two months to finally set up the computer since there were cable wires that needed rewired so now that I'm up and running I've made a promise to Elder and Sister Fullmer I would update so they'd know what was going on with us. (Since I am horrible at writing them a letter like they asked us all to do back in Oct - Shame on me!!) Instead like my other siblings I will update the blog for them. </span><br />

They were good friends of ours in Cleveland and since he was with the Air Force for Dental School the wanted to try and be stationed of the country. They got their wish and are now headed to England. So excited for them as that will be such an exciting adventure for 3 yrs. Right now he's stationed in Omaha so we had to make a visit before they leave this week. Jenny and I had babies within 2 1/2 weeks of each other so our girls get along really well when their together. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" >Since it was a quick trip we didn't do much but hang out and relax. While the kids swam in the pool we played some Cornhole and waited for the homemade ice cream to finish. Kylie even let their bird hang out on her arm while we were there. I was shocked she did it and even more surprised she kept her arm out for the bird to stay on. <br /></span><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BIR3UvMuDIw/TjRwGRIsbTI/AAAAAAAAAu0/D_OzTE5C5w0/s1600/IMG_0706.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BIR3UvMuDIw/TjRwGRIsbTI/AAAAAAAAAu0/D_OzTE5C5w0/s400/IMG_0706.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635252286728727858" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6sDQqANTJhE/TjRwFyzgzHI/AAAAAAAAAus/sBMzX6rhdKI/s1600/IMG_0705.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6sDQqANTJhE/TjRwFyzgzHI/AAAAAAAAAus/sBMzX6rhdKI/s400/IMG_0705.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635252278586821746" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HLejboKMK_Q/TjRwFfRgSyI/AAAAAAAAAuk/puPH2ls_orw/s1600/IMG_0704.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HLejboKMK_Q/TjRwFfRgSyI/AAAAAAAAAuk/puPH2ls_orw/s400/IMG_0704.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635252273343908642" /></a> <span class="Apple-style-span" >Remi, Broden, Alissa and Kylie</span> <br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YqFFnjsevyM/TjRwEuhpHoI/AAAAAAAAAuc/aZKKTp0jjIo/s1600/IMG_0699.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YqFFnjsevyM/TjRwEuhpHoI/AAAAAAAAAuc/aZKKTp0jjIo/s400/IMG_0699.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635252260258258562" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" > Alissa and Kylie</span><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5Q782HYYJts/TjRwEO3h0uI/AAAAAAAAAuU/r0q8UZx2pMI/s1600/IMG_0696.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5Q782HYYJts/TjRwEO3h0uI/AAAAAAAAAuU/r0q8UZx2pMI/s400/IMG_0696.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635252251760120546" /></a> <span class="Apple-style-span" >I love her face in this picture.

They just received their mission call today and are heading to Dallas, TX in the Fall. 2 of my siblings still live in the Utah County area so they gathered at my parents house with their cell phones in tow so they could all call the 4 siblings that live out of state plus, of course Avery who was out of town. It was fun to gather together (over phones) and listen as my brother Kevin (yes my brother had to read it - Mom was too nervous) read the letter. I'm very excited for them. Going on a mission after my Father retired was all he talked about for years since he didn't go on a mission as a teenager. They will be amazing and Dallas will love them! </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" >On a side note: It's kinda strange typing Dallas, TX when I was so used to writing or saying Dallas, OR growing up.

We went with her friend Chase and his Mom Abby. Kylie was so excited to see all the different rides and toys she could play. Ran around and tried out almost all of them. Her favorite rides were Bob the Builder Tractor and a Fire Engine. I let her try out a Skeeball game but since she's still so small she got to cheat and stand on the runner. That didn't do a lot of good cuz she'd only throw it in the first hole which is only 1000 points I think. We both had a great time and definitely will go again and try for more tickets. </span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PgSzBy1a16Y/TWBY3A8eBuI/AAAAAAAAAtk/SXVYmoa2XoE/s1600/IMG_0167.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PgSzBy1a16Y/TWBY3A8eBuI/AAAAAAAAAtk/SXVYmoa2XoE/s400/IMG_0167.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575554040854349538" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AiONxJ4UibQ/TWBY20uIO2I/AAAAAAAAAtc/Njt4Il1lo9g/s1600/IMG_0169.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AiONxJ4UibQ/TWBY20uIO2I/AAAAAAAAAtc/Njt4Il1lo9g/s400/IMG_0169.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575554037572975458" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-v3onpSbfF_E/TWBY2s6JGqI/AAAAAAAAAtU/li-a6G_ri80/s1600/IMG_0168.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-v3onpSbfF_E/TWBY2s6JGqI/AAAAAAAAAtU/li-a6G_ri80/s400/IMG_0168.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575554035475880610" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cQPKBaRq7zA/TWBY2bGxy5I/AAAAAAAAAtM/x92SBguMbrg/s1600/IMG_0165.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cQPKBaRq7zA/TWBY2bGxy5I/AAAAAAAAAtM/x92SBguMbrg/s400/IMG_0165.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575554030697040786" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rEcj5wR4pQo/TWBY2HrSquI/AAAAAAAAAtE/xyNNk7DsPFM/s1600/IMG_0162.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rEcj5wR4pQo/TWBY2HrSquI/AAAAAAAAAtE/xyNNk7DsPFM/s400/IMG_0162.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575554025481480930" /></a>The Kirk'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03443543486570126439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605630681508382761.post-16327118380332434712011-02-19T18:35:00.002-05:002011-02-19T18:50:46.452-05:00Adventures in Babysitting<span class="Apple-style-span" >Somehow I have become the ward/neighborhood/friend babysitter lately. It's not horrible and lets be honest the extra cash has been wonderful. Since the start of the year I have stayed 1 week with a family of 5, 1 night with a family of 3 while #4 was being born, 2 days (no overnighters) this week for a 2 yr old I just met. All while still watching Lily (the very sweet and adorable 18 month old I've been watching for 9 months). It makes me tired just thinking about it and I'm not done. Starting Monday I'll be adding a almost 3 yr old to my regular routine but luckily it's only during the day and I'll be done by Friday.

We enjoyed a pancake breakfast, Apple cider donuts (which were amazing) and the kids got to enjoy a hayride, a silo full of corn kernels, painted tractor tires to play on, a true pumpkin patch and many more activities.

She is such a sweet addition to our routine. She was 9 months when she first came last month and she's been great! She's teaching Kylie how to share toys and to share time with Momma. I'm not sure what Kylie has taught Lily but I hope it's only good things. When I tell Kylie that Lily will be here this morning she looks around and says: "Lily where are you?". We had Lily 4 days this week so when Kylie woke up this morning (we didn't have her today) Kylie was looking around saying "Lily!" "Lily!!". It was very sweet, they are becoming cute friends.

Saturday night we went to a Kansas City T-Bones game which I think they are a AAA league but not sure. We had a great time until the bottom of the 2nd when a T-Bone player hit a homerun and the crowd went crazy and then the fireworks went off. After that Kylie was officially traumatized. She wouldn't stop crying and kept saying over and over: "I sad". Avery took her out and walked her around the park and over to the playground where she calmed down but the second he brought her down the stairs to sit down the sobbing started all over again. So I took my turn and we walked around and hung out by the Bullpen so she could watch the game from the outfield but still she wouldn't calm down. She was like this the whole rest of the game so all 7 of one of us took a turn walking Kylie around to take her mind off the loud sounds. Eventually we left in the 8th inning after 3 1/2 hrs of the game and had to miss the fireworks at the end since that would have put her over the top! Guess we'll wait awhile before the next game or sit in box seats. It's definitely strange behavior since she practically lived at the Royals games last year. </span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/TBOtHxA-3GI/AAAAAAAAApk/j3XeFR5zDqU/s1600/DSCN2782.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/TBOtHxA-3GI/AAAAAAAAApk/j3XeFR5zDqU/s400/DSCN2782.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481915520368172130" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"> playing with cousin Matt's hats</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/TBOtHioA9zI/AAAAAAAAApc/v000O076sug/s1600/DSCN2781.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/TBOtHioA9zI/AAAAAAAAApc/v000O076sug/s400/DSCN2781.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481915516505356082" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/TBOtHewQQkI/AAAAAAAAApU/NTnD8dXA-GA/s1600/DSCN2780.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/TBOtHewQQkI/AAAAAAAAApU/NTnD8dXA-GA/s400/DSCN2780.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481915515466170946" /></a><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/TBOtHJ45dwI/AAAAAAAAApM/SlKULK2UHLw/s400/DSCN2779.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481915509865281282" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; "> took this picture just before the meltdown</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/TBOtGmaieBI/AAAAAAAAApE/m1sW27kdEjk/s1600/DSCN2777.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/TBOtGmaieBI/AAAAAAAAApE/m1sW27kdEjk/s400/DSCN2777.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481915500342704146" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"> saying "CHEESE"</span>The Kirk'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03443543486570126439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605630681508382761.post-7567899151180635862010-06-12T11:22:00.004-04:002010-06-12T11:49:00.179-04:00May<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">In May my brother and his family rolled into town for a night. My cousins were so gracious to let their family of 5 crash at their house for the night to give them more space. It was a short visit but Kylie couldn't have been more excited to play with her cousins. She ran crazy with them and even gave the kids a tour through cousin Gene's house. Almost every square foot. She feels very at home there. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">That night at Caresia's the Adults played Battle of the Sexes and of course the women won! We stayed up late chatting then our little family went home for bed. The next morning we met back over at Caresia's for a yummy breakfast to see my brother and family off.

We moved again - this time across town and not across the country so that was nice. I think this makes move # 4 and we've only been married 2 1/2 yrs. Someday we'll stop moving around and find a more permanent residence. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Avery's parents and sister Sarah stopped for a night while on their way to drop Sarah off at BYU-I. On their way home his parents stayed with us a couple extra days. It was great to spend some time with them as well as see them interact with Kylie. Unfortunately, I didn't take my camera out and snap pictures! Very dumb! </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">We had a wonderful Easter Weekend with the cousins. Matt and Tracy came down from Lincoln, NE. The Men went to Priesthood Session Saturday night and the girls went to dinner at Cheddars. Then Sunday we had a delicious Easter dinner and laughed while we sent Kylie on an easter egg hunt. When we went outside for the hunt there was a wild rabbit in the front yard checking out the eggs. It was really cute. <br /></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/TBOgjt0OLEI/AAAAAAAAAoE/2zJA4ww9s68/s1600/DSCN2735.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/TBOgjt0OLEI/AAAAAAAAAoE/2zJA4ww9s68/s400/DSCN2735.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481901706894519362" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"> Kylie hasn't quite figured out that Bronze children are not real</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/TBOgjVy3lxI/AAAAAAAAAn8/XDmbW6XIsSY/s1600/DSCN2731.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/TBOgjVy3lxI/AAAAAAAAAn8/XDmbW6XIsSY/s400/DSCN2731.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481901700446394130" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/TBOgjFJ-NlI/AAAAAAAAAn0/VCt1F8aDWUg/s1600/DSCN2729.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/TBOgjFJ-NlI/AAAAAAAAAn0/VCt1F8aDWUg/s400/DSCN2729.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481901695979894354" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"> Enjoying a day at the Botanical Gardens with Mommy and Daddy</span></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/TBOgQ9UoWYI/AAAAAAAAAns/M42EoHG3CCM/s1600/DSCN2728.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/TBOgQ9UoWYI/AAAAAAAAAns/M42EoHG3CCM/s400/DSCN2728.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481901384639469954" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/TBOgQXOYVJI/AAAAAAAAAnk/sHXdWawQBTo/s1600/DSCN2717.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/TBOgQXOYVJI/AAAAAAAAAnk/sHXdWawQBTo/s400/DSCN2717.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481901374412706962" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"> Just after we moved she found my Q-tips - hid behind the bed and quietly pulled them out</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/TBOgQNgoFLI/AAAAAAAAAnc/IgFq8KvPRfk/s1600/DSCN2719.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/TBOgQNgoFLI/AAAAAAAAAnc/IgFq8KvPRfk/s400/DSCN2719.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481901371804882098" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"> Playing with her BFF Chase at Chic-fli-A<br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/TBOgP6XiEaI/AAAAAAAAAnU/3AZUH2GAdso/s1600/DSCN2715.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/TBOgP6XiEaI/AAAAAAAAAnU/3AZUH2GAdso/s400/DSCN2715.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481901366666465698" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"> Easter Egg Hunt</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/TBOgPsaz2tI/AAAAAAAAAnM/MGpv6YUSmuM/s1600/DSCN2711.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/TBOgPsaz2tI/AAAAAAAAAnM/MGpv6YUSmuM/s400/DSCN2711.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481901362922117842" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"> Checking out her Easter Basket</span></div></div>The Kirk'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03443543486570126439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605630681508382761.post-6667466484308742322010-03-14T19:15:00.003-04:002010-03-14T19:24:20.408-04:00Kylie's 1st kisses<span style="font-family:arial;">We've been trying for months to get Kylie to give kisses.

She leaned into Courtney and gave her a kiss. We told her to kiss Courtney again and that's how we got this picture. It's so dang cute. Then Gene who Kylie gives the cold shoulder to A LOT asked for a kiss and at first she teased him and then smiled and walked back over to him, leaned in and kissed him. Sadly when she kissed him again my camera was too slow so I missed it. But we all know she kissed him so that's all that matters. Kylie now gives kisses most of the time. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/S51uQTZkdjI/AAAAAAAAAm0/7M5e7BLHtEc/s1600-h/DSCN2680.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448632350552651314" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/S51uQTZkdjI/AAAAAAAAAm0/7M5e7BLHtEc/s400/DSCN2680.JPG" /></a> <span style="font-family:arial;">seriously the most precious picture</span><br /><br /><div><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/S51uPlTGGsI/AAAAAAAAAmk/vNQvKEVLtX8/s1600-h/DSCN2681.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448632338177465026" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/S51uPlTGGsI/AAAAAAAAAmk/vNQvKEVLtX8/s400/DSCN2681.JPG" /></a> <span style="font-family:arial;"> she's such a tease</span><span ><br /></span><div></div></div></div>The Kirk'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03443543486570126439noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605630681508382761.post-110790532974807502010-03-14T19:00:00.002-04:002010-03-14T19:15:06.875-04:00Valentine's Death by Chocolate<span style="font-family:arial;">Most of you know I was (got released today in church since we're moving) the Activites Chairman in my ward. I loved that calling even though I only had it for 8 months. My last Activity was our Valentines and boy was it amazing. We had a progressive dessert night that we called Death by Chocolate. The first house was mini Serendipity frozen hot chocolate with whipped cream on top, and mini cheesecakes. The second house was a chocolate mouse cake with cream puffs. The last house which I was charge of setting up (that's why I only have pics of the last house) we had fondue. It was yummy. The Morris' (who the Phipps live with) opened up their home and let us set up in their basement. Don Morris made these pitchers of water by adding orange slices and one grapefruit. It was the best orange water I have ever tasted. He did a great job.</span><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/S51q4vjqOzI/AAAAAAAAAmc/fjZuKyC6Zks/s1600-h/DSCN2669.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448628647259421490" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/S51q4vjqOzI/AAAAAAAAAmc/fjZuKyC6Zks/s320/DSCN2669.JPG" /></a> <span style="font-family:arial;">orange water station</span><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/S51q4JW6duI/AAAAAAAAAmU/kYnj36ttVvE/s1600-h/DSCN2672.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448628637005412066" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/S51q4JW6duI/AAAAAAAAAmU/kYnj36ttVvE/s320/DSCN2672.JPG" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;">dark and milk chocolate fondue, pound cake, rice krispy treats, mini cookies, pretzles, marshmallows, and pineapple</span><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/S51q3yxLOaI/AAAAAAAAAmM/VSv6r592mhk/s1600-h/DSCN2671.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448628630941546914" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/S51q3yxLOaI/AAAAAAAAAmM/VSv6r592mhk/s320/DSCN2671.JPG" /></a> <span style="font-family:arial;">strawberries, bananas and fondue<br /></span><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/S51q3fr8XDI/AAAAAAAAAmE/1F8Ccvms1wE/s1600-h/DSCN2667.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448628625819327538" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/S51q3fr8XDI/AAAAAAAAAmE/1F8Ccvms1wE/s320/DSCN2667.JPG" /></a> <span style="font-family:arial;">all the yummy food!<br /></span><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/S51q3FC9V4I/AAAAAAAAAl8/YX-oM5ZMu_E/s1600-h/DSCN2666.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448628618668103554" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/S51q3FC9V4I/AAAAAAAAAl8/YX-oM5ZMu_E/s320/DSCN2666.JPG" /></a></div></div></div></div>The Kirk'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03443543486570126439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605630681508382761.post-18595146402246511622010-03-14T18:52:00.002-04:002010-03-14T19:00:15.141-04:00Dinner with the Caresia's<span style="font-family:arial;">A few weeks ago <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Caresia's</span> invited us to have dinner at their favorite Mexican <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">restaurant named Jalapenos.

He served his mission in Italy and made pasta with aunthentic red sauce. They invited a few couples over to enjoy it with them. We had a great time with them and Kylie really enjoys their daughter Sweet. These two girls kind of have the same look. Pale skin and blonde hair. We joke around saying they're related. In fact, not long after we moved into the ward )when Kylie was bald) Sweet's grandma (whose also in our ward) thought Kylie was Sweet and was tried to take Kylie from Avery. It was really funny. Anyway, Tiffany and Mike live her parents so we were able to enjoy the fun gym in their house. Didn't try the rockwall but maybe some other time. </span><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/S51mNoMFhzI/AAAAAAAAAlc/bBA3xJQBREg/s1600-h/DSCN2670.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448623508500612914" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/S51mNoMFhzI/AAAAAAAAAlc/bBA3xJQBREg/s320/DSCN2670.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/S51mNRa5wOI/AAAAAAAAAlU/AI638jeIoCw/s1600-h/DSCN2650.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448623502388740322" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/S51mNRa5wOI/AAAAAAAAAlU/AI638jeIoCw/s320/DSCN2650.JPG" /></a> <span style="font-family:arial;">playin on the floor is so much fun</span><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/S51mA9Uf1DI/AAAAAAAAAlM/y0xOzxsPuu0/s1600-h/DSCN2656.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448623290834736178" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/S51mA9Uf1DI/AAAAAAAAAlM/y0xOzxsPuu0/s320/DSCN2656.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/S51mAZDts7I/AAAAAAAAAlE/hgSjSdi4KMw/s1600-h/DSCN2655.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448623281100665778" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/S51mAZDts7I/AAAAAAAAAlE/hgSjSdi4KMw/s320/DSCN2655.JPG" /></a> <span style="font-family:arial;">I've got a little ball player on my hands!

Kylie did pretty good in the car both ways but on the way home we decided not to drive straight through and stayed the night in Effingham, IL. Being in Ohio was a blast and made me really miss all my friends & family. <br />We were able to meet with the Hegewald's on my birthday to play Wallyball. What a treat to spend my birthday with such a great Family. They were so great to me while I lived there. The rest of the time was spent with the Kirk's celebrating Christmas and the Annual Kirk Family White Elephant party. We loved seeing Avery's aunts, uncles, cousins, and Grandmother and Charlie. Kylie had a great time being the center of attention. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/S0ZijSo0ZHI/AAAAAAAAAjs/Xmv2PLpDtc4/s1600-h/DSCN2616.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424131159652328562" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/S0ZijSo0ZHI/AAAAAAAAAjs/Xmv2PLpDtc4/s320/DSCN2616.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/S0Zii-XfFcI/AAAAAAAAAjk/DknqlzKtPz4/s1600-h/DSCN2612.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424131154210919874" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/S0Zii-XfFcI/AAAAAAAAAjk/DknqlzKtPz4/s320/DSCN2612.JPG" /></a> Our friends Jesse & Kaley came down and spent Christmas with us.

Somehow since we moved to Kansas I've been able to see my parents every 2 months and I'm loving it!</span><br /> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/S0ZKMfwNUCI/AAAAAAAAAes/cQvNnZCmxY8/s1600-h/DSCN2498.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

I've been feeling a bit left out on these special days since I chose to move so far away from home... : ) And out of 13 grandkids I have only been to 3 baby blessings (and that includes Jade's).

The last time we had a Family picture taken Kevin and I were single and I think we had 6 or 7 grandkids and now Kevin and I are finally married and we're up to 14 grandkids. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">It was a lot of fun to get dressed up and make a couple of hairbows (one for Jade and one for Kylie). We ended up going across the street from the Mt Timanogos Temple and it ended up being the perfect place. I love how green the background turned out.</span><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/St-vsVT3O9I/AAAAAAAAAaI/rRiP052aAy8/s1600-h/Fullmer_010.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395224054782704594" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/St-vsVT3O9I/AAAAAAAAAaI/rRiP052aAy8/s320/Fullmer_010.jpg" /></a> <span style="font-family:arial;">M</span><span style="font-family:arial;">y parents with all their grandkids - they couldn't love these kids more!<br /></span><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395224046435634466" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/St-vr2NxDSI/AAAAAAAAAaA/i1yPkqMqLxQ/s320/Fullmer_038.jpg" /><span style="font-family:arial;"> The Fullmer kids with spouses and my parents</span><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/St-tMRMRoJI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/az0hXR4PPG4/s1600-h/Fullmer_035.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395221304898068626" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/St-tMRMRoJI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/az0hXR4PPG4/s320/Fullmer_035.jpg" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;"> The Fullmer Fam</span><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/St-tLi28r4I/AAAAAAAAAZw/LuezaNqsG0o/s1600-h/Fullmer_020.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395221292460584834" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/St-tLi28r4I/AAAAAAAAAZw/LuezaNqsG0o/s320/Fullmer_020.jpg" /></a> <span style="font-family:arial;">The Kirk Family<br /><br /></span><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/St-qY7UWQhI/AAAAAAAAAZo/YQ6f10YsPxs/s1600-h/bigfam16x20.jpg"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 256px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395218223829762578" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jja4B2auRyY/St-qY7UWQhI/AAAAAAAAAZo/YQ6f10YsPxs/s320/bigfam16x20.jpg" /></span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"> Everyone</span><br /><div> </div></div></div></div></div>The Kirk'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03443543486570126439noreply@blogger.com1
