Pony Days Express Concert

This past week in Eagle Mountain they have had their Annual Pony Days Express. We didn't really do much cause we were working but Curt took Kalea out to the parade on Saturday morning and then that night we went to the concert on the grass to salute the troops! It was really good night. Curt did the flag ceremony with the honor guard so we were able to be some of the first people in so we got front row seats. Josh Gracin and Darryl Worley performed and they are sooo supportive of ALL branches of the military. Kalea was cute, when Darryl Worley performed she was up at the very front of the stage and she said that he looked down at her a couple times!!!

Tulip Festival

This weekend my brother Chris came up for drill out to Camp Williams so he brought up Morgan and Kalea to spend the weekend with us, it was a nice suprise! Even though the weather wasn't the best we went out to Thanksgiving Point and went to the Tulip Festival. We were lucky enough that it didn't rain on us, just sprinkle every once in a while. I didn't realize how big the garden was out there and there are some flowers that haven't bloomed yet so we'll have to go out there again to check those out. Coty had Prom this weekend so he didn't get to hang out with us.

Earlier this week we worked on our yard and I think it looks great now! So here are some pics and I'll post Coty's prom pics when he gets them to me.

Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter weekend this year! Unfortunately Coty was sick all weekend so he didn't make it down to Richfield with us. Dad wanted Curt to help him put in a new door at the house so all day on Friday they were working on it. It wouldn't have been a big chore except the house is built out of old adobe so it's hard to secure nails to it. On Saturday Me, Curt, Kalea, Robyn, and Dad went shore fishing out to the Piute Reservoir. It was a great day because we all caught fish and they were all a pretty good size. Later that night we went over to Glen and Robyn's and colored Easter Eggs. I haven't done that in a long time so it was fun to be able to do it with Kalea. Today the Easter Bunny totally spoiled Kalea and Angie (Robyn and Glen's niece). There were oodles of candy and eggs out in the front yard and they both got very cute Easter Baskets! Such a great day!!!

Another busy weekend!

I don't think I'm gonna have another free weekend until next year! I'm not complaining, but it's exhausting trying to play catch up for a year.
We went down to St. George this weekend for Kalea's baptism and sense we were down there we made an appointment for Coty to get his braces off. The baptism went with almost no hiccups. When Kalea went under the water, one of her knuckles didn't make it under so she had to do it again, better safe then sorry! Afterwards we went to Pirates Island Pizza. That was our first time going there, and it wasn't that bad. The kids had fun so that's all that really matters.

The next day Robyn and Dad went with us up to Pioneer Park so she could take some pictures for us to have options for our wedding announcements. I hadn't been up there forever, so it was fun to hike around with the kids and take pictures. The rest of the weekend we just spent time with the family.

Today we went to Cedar City so Coty could get his braces off. He was so excited for them to be gone. He's gonna get a zebra retainer, such a nerd. :)

Curt has drill next weekend so I shouldn't be going anywhere so I hope I have a weekend of sorta relaxation!

Our Family

Well, I'm new to this blogging stuff so you'll have to bear with Curt and I as we figure things out and change our page up. I wanted to start off this blogging by talking about my family! Curt and I are going to be getting married in May 2009, once I get home from Afghanistan. He has two wonderful children; Coty and Kalea.
Coty is a Junior in High School and being a typical teenager; hang out with friends and ride his bike. Kalea is in 5th grade, she in to riding horses and she is super smart in school!
Curt is currently working full time in the Army with the Engineers as a Readiness NCO. Hopefully we will see a promotion for him to MSG (Master Sergeant) soon, we'll keep you posted.
Right now I'm in Bagram, Afghanistan serving our country. I have about 3-4 months left until I get to come home! After being here I am so much more greatful for everything I have back at home. Right now my plan is to go back to my full time job in the Army with the Military Intelligence as an Administrative Personnel.
We can't forget about our cat Peppers. She is spoiled and she knows it and takes advantage of it. It's a good things we love her! We are all just biding our time waiting for me to get home. We love to travel and try new things. Well, in a nut shell, this is the family!
