You all already know that but I thought it was worth posting on the family blog. We will be getting married in the Manti Temple on August 15th at 11:15 AM. They would ask the family to be seated by 10:45. We are planning on booking a cultural hall to stuff all the kids in. We are also hoping to have a easy luncheon right after in Manti. Needless to say I am pretty excited and happy. Thanks for all your support.

Because you planted the seeds long ago...
...you are now seeing the fruits of your labor.
We love you!

OK Kimmie, here goes.....
Christian walks around everywhere and just recently began going down the stairs safely.
Cannon likes to snuggle with his mom and punch people on the Wii
Kimball knows his name has two L's in it and is still fascinated with that fact.
Maddie is practicing really hard for High School Musical 2 and is the youngest member of the cast
Kirtlan loves being out of school and constantly shows me how well he did on his report card.
Shelly is going crazy trying to play catch-up on an ill-planned musical production, maybe buy an investment property in Provo, get ready for a trip to disneyland, and a trip to D.C. and be the fun mom this summer.
Chad is changing jobs today. He's not gonna teach for a couple of years so that he can write full-time for the church. He's a little nervous as he doesn't know exactly what to expect. Plus he has to plan for 2 EFY's, summer trips for his Young Men, and how to be the coolest bald dad on the block (and there is some competition)
Expect no blog posts from us until after Disneyland, when we will have a bunch of pictures to post.

WE LOVE YOU!
but you guys never post these days! We understand your busy, so I will make a post for you:
MORRIS UPDATE
Kirtlan just became the youngest graduate of John Hopkins University. He will be attending medical school with uncle Johnny in OK. Maddie grew the biggest tomato in all of Davis county and won the blue ribbon at the fair. The tomato was pink. The twins built a bridge over the street, so they don't have to hold mom's hand while crossing. Now they are working on plans for a bridge to Hawaii. Christian is learning new words. For some reason, all of his words are Korean, but he's learning none the less.
Chad and Shelly are doing fine, enjoying the crazy life of five kids and three dogs. Oh yeah, they bought some new puppies last week. And some chickens. However, half of their chickens have been eaten by the dogs. They are currently saving to buy a separate cage for the dogs and the remaining chickens.
I hope that was accurate. Love ya all!

Hey Family!
I'm trying to really save some money. I've set a budget, but I was wondering if anybody had any tips on how to stick to the budget, where to shave off a few extra cents every month, or how to eat super cheap (that is still relatively healthy...apparently man is not meant to live on instant rice alone). Oh, and that's another thing, is regular rice cheaper? How do you make regular rice without a rice cooker? Does rice have nutritional value? Holly eats a lot of it, so I always assumed it did.
I'm trying to eat healthier so I have more energy. I'm trying to eat fruits, veggies, etc. Any good tips? Is it okay that I drench my veggies in ranch? I'm not trying to loose weight, just gain energy...so ranch is fine, right? I drink tons of water. Therefore I'm not hungry for milk. (I usually have milk in my cereal only, and I only have cereal like 4 times a week) Are my bones going to fall apart Holly? Is there a cheaper way to get calcium besides milk? I like milk, and it isn't that expensive...i just don't go shopping very much, so I always try to make one gallon last two weeks. I learned that I can freeze it, so I keep a gallon in my freezer, and use that for the second half of the month. Am I going through it way too slow? I want to save money, but osteoporosis does not sound delightful.
The other problem with drinking a lot of water is this: I cannot go two hours without needing to use a restroom. This poses a problem...of my three class I am in right now, two of them are two hours long. Also, I work long hours. I can excuse myself whenever I need, but still....it's kinda ridiculous. And, we are going through toilet paper like no other in my apartment. Oh the joys of trying to change a habit. This is a problem I don't need help solving. I just wanted to share, and you are probably thinking, why is she sharing this...
This is what it feels like:
Along the healthy lines...I'm obsessed with youtube right now. It has some awesome work out videos. You just type in how much time you have, and what muscles you want to work out and bam. A new workout video every time, free of charge. It's my best friend. :)
These are the questions that go through my head all day long, but whenever I have one of you on the phone, I usually forget to ask.
WARNING: Dad, don't get your hopes up because of the following question. No decisions have been made. I'm just trying to prepare, just in case. How much do you guys think it would cost to go on a mission? Not just the monthly payment, but the cost of clothing and other things I'll need before hand. I bet it could add up real quick. How much should I be putting away? Anybody have any good guesses.
I love you all.
Kimmie
P.S. Notice the green...money, eating veggies....yeah, I thought that out.

President David O. McKay once said, ‘No greater responsibility can rest upon any man [or woman], than to be a teacher of God’s children’ I'm writing a paper on my personal philosophy of teaching, and so I'm reviewing Teaching, No Greater Call. I just came across that quote at the very beginning.
I'm excited to go into teaching, but I'm more excited to thank you Mom and Dad for being my teachers. You guys have been absolutely wonderful in teaching me everything from how to spell my name, a love for books, who I am, and about Christ. Thanks for all your teaching methods. Mom, thanks for reading to me, with me, and simply in my line of sight. Dad, thanks for sharing stories of your childhood, your love of people, and singing to me in the hammock on those many camping trips.
I can't begin to express how much you guys have taught me. I love you both dearly. I couldn't have asked for better parents.
Love
Kimmie

Last Friday night David and I went on a double date. Not with each other, because that would be gross. First we went to TACO BELL (aren't you super proud dad?) and took it to a playground at a mental institution for a picnic. We think it was close to where Shelly and Chad got engaged. After that, we went ice skating.
Getting shoes on!
Sweet tricks!

The baby that wasn't invited to the Easter Egg hunt. I don't think he noticed
Off they go!
The girls off searching!
Uncle Dave and baby Parker taking a nap
Right before, on their way out!
Easter was a ton of fun! Thanks to Shelly for all her hard work with the food and putting together the Easter Egg hunt. The kids sure had a blast, and we were all very happy.
Happy late Easter everyone!

but it's hard to post the pictures because of how big the file size is and how lazy I am about shrinking them.

Hello Family! Here are some of the pictures we took at the Washington DC Temple Visitor Center. Jason and Ethan were not able to come with us- Ethan had a doctor appointment. It was so wonderful to have them come visit. A big thank you to all who helped arrange it!
I am dying to see some pictures of sweet little Parker Jay! Could someone please post some if they have any? Love you guys!! --Lisa
