getting ready foe a trip

Poor Bear

It is hard to tell but Doug guesstimates that this bear weighs about 400 lbs. It was hit by a man from Oregon about 5:00 am. I am glad that Doug warned me that it was there I would not have wanted to ride my bike past it on the way to work. Kyle was worried that someone hit it with a stick, but Doug said they used the stick to prop open the bears mouth so that they could pull a tooth. When they pulled the tooth fish and game figured that the bear was at least 20 years old. Maybe the same bear the scared Corbin and Kelsey in our garage. Caltrans used tractor to get it off the road. They buried the bear on top of Conway Summit.

One shot to prove she has shoes and the pink tennis shoes she wore to drive in.

Kelsey & Garrett

She looks like Sandra Dee!

Senior Prom 2008

Well it is prom night here. The Academy and Lee Vining High School are having a combined event at the Mono Inn. Kelsey went with a friend of hers that she has know since kindergarten his name is Garrett and he is a good kid. They went as friends and I hope that they have a good time.

Kristyn we are so proud of you a double major is a really great accomplishment and it will take you where ever you want to go, so get ready for a journey. Not to hog the blog but a couple of reminders Kyle's 8th grade graduation in June 5, 2008 and Kelsey's is June 9, 2008. We will be in Hurricane on Saturday May 17th, enjoying a sweet bridal shower for Courtney, thanks to everyone for the thought and the deed. Corbin is doing ok we are still waiting to hear a couple of test thanks to everyone for keeping him in your thoughts and prayers. Check out the pictures and I hope to see everyone soon.

Hey everyone,

Things have been good over here in Santa Barbara. We had some cold weather but it is beautiful out right now. Funny how I am inside writing a blog instead of on the beach! I am actually waiting to go to lunch with my friend Courtney and then we might head to the County Fair for rides and good old fashioned fun!

I am really excited for next weekend because I am going to the Stagecoach Festival with my best friend Brianne! It's a three day country music festival. We're going to see a ton of great acts: The Eagles, Trisha Yearwood, Tim McGraw, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Dierks Bentley, Rascall Flats, The Judds, etc etc etc. I am sooo excited! Aunt Victoria's (My mom's sister) husband works for the company that does the marketing/promotion for it so he got me two free passes with all the works. Its out in Palm Springs so it is sure to be a hot, long weekend but it will be fun. We're going to camp out in tents in the campground, too.

After that I only have a couple weeks left of school and then I will be a college graduate! It's so crazy. The time went by so quickly. I am graduating on Saturday, June 14th at 9am. Everyone is invited, of course, if you can make it over to Santa Barbara! I would love to see everyone there. It is a pretty momentous occasion for me. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do next -- hopefully find a job!! Haha.

About two months ago my Mom and Steve also bought a house in Escondido, just a little bit away from where Dad and Nita live. It's a very nice house on the top of one of the biggest hills, right on the edge of Escondido and San Marcos. So we are no longer on Kibler Drive. The new address is 1985 Woodland Heights Glen, Escondido, CA 92026. So update your address books if you have anything to mail to me or TJ.

Anyway, I hope everyone is doing great. Here's a funny picture of me and my friend Courtney to entertain you all. :)

A Saturday Project

OK, yah were freakin tired. I bought the cutest material and got a pattern book from amazon and fully intended on making doll clothes and shoes all day saturday. Well, its almost 8 and do you think that I got any thing sewn? HAve my kids bathed? Have they eaten? Well, Heck no. We woke up thismorning and thought let's go get some flower boxes for the windows, and Jeff said, well are you going to water them and take care of them. I thought for a minute and said no, I will go to ROberts and get some plastic flowers for the spring. Then fall flowers and pointsettias for Christmas, I had it all planned out. Yah right. We ended up going to a nursery instead of the planned Lowes and began an even bigger arduous project. The pictures don't do it justice but I wanted a woodland look. The plants don't have blooms on them yet but I got red white and blue flowers. We dug up perfectly good grass, spent good money on dirt and laid weed cover, planted three spruse trees and some ground cover plants. It was a long day but I am glad it's over. Now where are those kids?

Chicago Pics

CHeck out all of my co-workers in front of Wicked and our walk to the italian restuarant "The italian village" Where Al Capone used to eat. The food was bad but I guess they new we would'nt shoot them if it was bad.
Check out the color of the water, they deyed the water green for saint patty's day. It was so green it was florescent.

Bye for now.

Spring Break

Hi, i havn't seen you all in such a long time. I am on my spring break so i actually had time to write. For Easter I get to go to Knotts Berry Farm. On Thursday my family is going to Riverside because my sister is going to Mock Trial. Kelsey is going to be a prosecution lawyer. Everybody should come down to Riverside on Saturday and watch. I am working on a term paper on archaeology. I will let you know what i got on it after it is graded. It is not due until May 2. Courtney was home for the week for her spring break. She left this morning, but her and Warren got to spend some time together.(I think their in love!!) She spent most of her vacation kissing. How is tree trimming going grandpa? Wish us luck on our raffle. Talk to you later.

HI all,

Long time no Blog. Jeff and I just got back from Chicago. Wicked was well, Wicked. Amazing, we also went to the American Doll store, Tiffany's (but I didn't get a ring as cool as Courtney's), we also got Oprah's favorite popcorn and went to Crate and Barrell, everyone kept teasing me because I kipt calling it Cracker Barrel, But I didn't know better. I am not a shopper like all of them. We have a new Puppy, that's three now, (I feel like one step away from the crazy cat lady up the street) So here are some pic's Looks just like Gracie, she is only 7 months old though and not as round.

It's offically OFFICAL!!

I am engaged!!! On Monday February 25th, 2008 Warren and I went out to dinner at Duane's Steakhouse in the Mission Inn, which by the way was fabulous. I had the chef's special which was peppercorn encrusted steak with potatoes and grilled asparagus and Warren had the fillet Mignon with potatoes and broccoli. So after we finished our meal we sat talking and then the manager of the restaurant brought out two glasses of sparkling cider and beside my glass was a rose (featured in the picture) inside the rose was the ring, and then Warren asked me to marry him and I said yes. The date for our wedding in July 26, 2008 and we look forward to seeing all of you there. Here are various pictures of our evening and one random of me I took in my dress before Warren came and picked me up. Anyways hope everything is going well with all you of you! Love you all!
