About Us

Our family started November 5, 2004. We welcomed Kylee Jolene into our family on May 31, 2008. Kevin is going to school to become a real estate appraiser. I just graduated from Phoenix College with an Associates degree in Dental Hygiene. I am enrolled in the degree completion program at NAU to complete my Bachelors degree. Kylee is in Tiny Footsteps Preschool and loves every minute of it. We want to share our lives with all of you and hope this blog will help us do that.

Medieval War Reenactment

We were on our way to a going away party for a friend and drove by a park on the way to the house it was at. As we passed the park, we saw a group of teenagers who were reenacting a medieval war. It was one of the greatest and funniest things I've ever seen. We drove by three different times to get these pictures. It was seriously so funny.








Trip to California

We went to Knott's Berry Farms during the summer. It was so much fun. These pictures are a little out of order, but that's okay. It was so much fun. Kylee had a blast. We also went to the beach, but my sister Ande has those pictures.
Kylee was helping Grannie Annie drive her motorized cart. It was really fun. I am actually amazed that Grannie Annie and my mom (who also had a motorized cart) didn't run into anybody while they were driving.
We happened to be at Knott's Berry Farm on Game 6 of the LA Lakers and Suns playoff game. Johnny and Kevin decided that they needed to represent the Suns...too bad it didn't work out for us.
There is my mom and her cart.
There is my dad. He is really happy to be there, as you can tell from the picture.
That is my sister Amber and my Brother-in-Law Billy.
Kevin on the carousel.
Ande and Logan on the carousel


Kylee has her hair in braided pig tails and is sporting her brand new swimming suit. I couldn't get her to pose for me so there are several pictures of her coming up.


This one is my favorite because she was running toward me to try and tackle me. I couldn't have snapped this picture at a better moment.
I also love this picture because she looks so happy and like she is having so much fun.
This is Kylee trying to through something at me...I'm not sure what though.

We were leaving Knott's Berry Farm and walking under a roller coaster. Kylee was on Kevin's shoulders and they were looking at the roller coaster as it went by.
Kylee was playing with Kevin's beard...it was actually a little disturbing.
That was the moment that the roller coaster passed over our heads. Kylee loved watching it go by and the loud noise that it made.

This was the car ride to California.

Noah, my nephew, got to ride in the cool car on the way to California and Brock, my other nephew, got to ride with us on the way back. It was so much fun.
Allison was having way too much fun...obviously.

Zoo Lights

After Christmas, Mel, Alisa, and their kids came down to Arizona.  We went to the Zoo Lights at the Phoenix Zoo.  It was so much fun.  We didn’t see many animals, but we were given special glasses to make the lights multiply.  It was very cool.  There is also a video of the light show set to music with and without the glasses.  Be sure to look at it.

Merry Christmas!!!

We celebrated Christmas at our house with Uncle Johnny and Aunt Allison.  It was so much fun.  Then we went over to Grandma and Grandpa’s house and opened more presents.  I love being with my family and playing with my cousins.

ASU Game

In December we were able to go the an ASU basketball game as a family.  It was so much fun.  We let Kylee take some pictures and ate dinner at the game.  Each of us had a pretzel with cheese.  Kevin had just finished his pretzel and I was trying to pass Kylee to him.  In the process Kylee started freakin’ out and ending up knocking my cup of cheese out of my hand and on to the back of the man sitting in front of us.  I was so embarrassed.

Another Play Day with Kylee

We spent another play day with Kylee.  We went to McDonald’s and played at the park by our house.  It was such a great day to play outside.  Kevin finally didn’t have to work on a weekend day, so we took advantage.  When we came to the park before, we missed two of the items on the scavenger hunt, but we found them on this trip to the park.

Random Pictures from November

Here are some random pictures of Kylee from November.

Happy Halloween!!!

We were able to celebrate Halloween 3 different times this past Halloween.  We went to our wards Halloween party/trunk-or-treat, my parent’s ward Halloween party/trunk-or-treat, and Trick-or-Treating on Halloween.  Here are the pictures and I’m sorry they are so late.

Family Pictures

We took family pictures in Utah a few weeks ago.  It was such an experience.  In the morning we took family pictures with the Reese’s and in the afternoon we took family pictures with the Hickman’s.  This is from the Hickman family pictures.  I just couldn’t resist sharing it with you all.

Hickman Family Pictures

I will post more of the pictures when I get them.  Thank you Melissa (Simply Be Photography) for taking the pictures…they turned out beautiful.
