Our Trip to Utah

Tyler and I had a wonderful time in Utah visiting our family and friends. We wish we could have stayed longer and been able to spend time with everyone. Tomorrow we will be leaving early (weather permitting) and driving the 10-11 hours home. Hopefully my Mom will be able to make it there okay. I'm sure after spending that much time in a car with us she will wonder why she decided to come. =) Below are just a few fun pictures from our trip home. Enjoy!

Here is Uncle Tyler with our cute nieces, Mackenzie, Eliza and Ivy. They are so cute and so much fun to hang out with. Tyler and I were happy to spend time with them and convert them to the Star Wars movies.

May the force be with you!

Here is Grandpa with cute little Brooklynn, she is a doll. I had so much fun seeing her and getting to know her more. It is so hard living away and not being able to see our nieces and nephew grow up. We'll have to come home more often. Below is a picture of my favorite little guy, Trevor. He is my best budd, and I miss him so much when I am gone. He is so funny and I love spending time with him.
Since Tyler will be celebrating his 29th birthday in San Diego, Mark and Nicole made him a nice birthday cake. Trevor was nice enough to help our Marine blow out the candles. Tyler's family also brought us to Tyler's favorite restuarant Rodizio's! I love that place.
While we were in town our beloved Church President passed away. We were very fortunate to be here with family during this sad time. Friday we were able to go to the viewing. After four hours of waiting (and frost-nibbled feet) we were able to see President Hinckley. It was a very moving experience. Below is a picture taken at the Conference Center right before his funeral. We were also able to attend Music and the Spoken Word on Sunday morning, where they had a tribute to President Hinckley. He is such an amazing man. We are really going to miss him and hearing his beautiful talks.

Blonde Kath vs. Brunette Kath

Is it true that Blondes have more fun? Or that Brunettes are smarter? Over my life time I have tried both. I found that I was fun and not very smart either way. =) I have had blonde streaks in my hair for ages and decided about a month ago to go back to my natural brown hair. However, after visiting with family this past week and having my cute niece Eliza ask "Where did you put your other hair?” I began to wonder which look is better on me. So I thought I would leave it to all of you who have to look at me to decide. Below are two pictures to chose from and the voting box is located in the right section. Please let me know what you think.

Remind me why we came to Utah?

Did we really leave this...

For this?....


Only four more days and we will be back in sunny CA! I can't wait. My mom will be driving back with us and staying for a week. I am so excited to show her around and she is excited to see the sun again.

Misc. Things we have been doing lately...

Graduation Day. Here is Ty and the other Captians of Delta Company. This was Tylers first cycle as a Series Commander, he did an amazing job. Graduation was a lot of fun!

(Ty is the second from the left)

The Utah vs Navy game.

So, I havent figured out how to rotate this picture yet. Anyway, this was taken just outside the Dr Phil studio. Tyler and I went with our friends Patty and Cody to a taping a couple weeks ago. Once we find out the air date I will let everyone know. We were able to get front row seats!

Merry Christmas

Here are some photos from our Christmas in San Diego. Tyler had to work so we spent the holiday together in California. We really missed our families but still had a lot of fun together.

Even though it was just the two of us, we managed to have a lot of presents under our tree.

I love presents!!!

Here was an amazing painting Laurel painted and gave to us. The picture was taken of a lighthouse in Maine that Tyler and I visited over the summer. So pretty, I can't wait to hang it in our home.

My new BlackBerry Pearl! I love it!

Christmas Eve: Charges vs Broncos

Christmas Eve: We got Ty tickets to the Charges/Bronco's game. This was taken before the game, we were so excited!
This was taken after the game, the Bronco's lost. All our excitement was gone.

Hello Everyone! Sorry our blog has been a little boring lately. I have been meaning to update it with fun Christmas and New Years photos but our lap top adaptor broke and we've been waiting to get a new one. Once we receive that (hopefully this week) I will update our blog. Don't give up on us. =)

Groucho Marx Quips

Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who wants to live in an institution?

Next time I see you, remind me not to talk to you.

Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies.

Quote me as saying I was mis-quoted.

Remember, we're fighting for this woman's honor, which is probably far more than she's ever done!

The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.

Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

Who are you going to believe, me or your own eyes?

Why a four-year-old child could understand this report. Run out and find me a four-year-old child. I can't make head nor tail out of it.

Why should I care about posterity? What's posterity ever done for me?

Women should be obscene and not heard.
