It was so fun going with all the young women and their moms Saturday night to the General Young Women's conference at the conference center! Some of the girls from our ward got to sing in the program and they did an amazing job! I love being in young women's - it is the funnest calling I've ever had! These girls are so amazing!

EASTER BUNNY!!!!!!

Kaleb LOVED the Easter BUNNY!!! REALLY loved him! So finally I explained to the bunny that he had Autism... the Easter Bunny said "I know I could tell - my daughter has autism too!" How cool is that! He was so cute with Kaleb! I LOVED IT! And Bre was super excited and cute helping her little brother!

Strides For Autism 5k

Heidi, Hailey, Chance, Russ, Kody, Kassidi, Briana, and I ran the STRIDES FOR AUTISM race - to raise money for Autism Speaks! It was so cold!!! The wind was crazy!!! Russ said when he was done that he didn't feel to aerodynamic! Funny... it was crazy windy!

Bre ran the mile - she did it in 13min which I thought was pretty good since it was so cold!!!!! And so she didn't enjoy running!

St. Patricks DAY!!!

Those darn Leperchauns- THEY MADE a MeSs!!! Through out the house!!!

Gold and Silver - EVERYWHERE!

Even some GREEN candy for KK - since he doesn't like Chocolate!

So we went to pick Bree up from the bus to tell her what we found at home and we saw these cute boys in green!!!

This little boy chased Chris down and PINCHED him because he WASN'T wearing any GREEN!

We made it in time to see her get off the bus!

And of course took pictures of us in GREEN...

When she saw the mEsS... she was like "what the heck!"....

And like a little sweetheart - she cleaned it all up for mom & dad!

There was so much we had to find a bag for her to carry all of it!

THEN FINALLY ... MR. KK got home!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!! Look at him in GREEN!

He was so happy to see his GREEN candy - Yum, YUM!

Sissy Helped Him get some candy!

Then we set them up to the table for a little St.Patricks day TREAT!

Green Punch - Green Donuts!

Yummy!!!

Happy St. Patricks Day!!!!! IT's so fun to have little kids!!!

Run For Red 5k - March 6th 2010

Finished 3.2miles in 29:09 (9:22 min/mile) came in 42nd (out of 300+runners) and placed 10th in my age/gender bracket (women's 25-35yr). It was fun! The new music on my MP3 player helped! And I think it was good to just run on my own and see how I did. The first part of the race I was freezing cold but towards the end I was sure glad not to have my jacket! There were up and down hills and lots of uneven ground which made it harder - I need to find some hills to train on.

Valentines/Grandpas's Birthday Party at our House

Well we tried to get a picture of all the kids with grandma and grandpa :)

Kaleb at School ... Cool Valentines Shirts

Grandma Colleen's Birthday!

Jan 25th is always a hard day at our house. We miss grandma so much! We celebrated her birthday at our house this year instead of at her grave - since we went to her grave just two days before. We got her favorite cookies and of course CHERRY COKE! The kids and Chris and I wrote he letters to send to heaven and we read memories of her to the kids. The month after we lost her I wrote the kids lots of letters of every memory I could remember of them with her - and we read those to the kids. IT was so emotional - man it doesn't get any easier!!! She is always in our hearts! We love you grandma - Happy Birthday!!!

Sending the notes to grandma...
