Sailing


Sailing That's right. Ken, Sean and Stacey went sailing this week and had a great time. From the pictures I am sure you can see that it was a beautiful day. Ken has definitely caught the sailing bug. Make sure you click on the word sailing at the begining of the post. It will take you to a slide show of all the pictures from their adventure.

25 Years



That's right 25 big ones. If you want to really check out the look, click the picture for a close up look of all that hair and skinniness. These have been 25 great years. I couldn't have picked a better man to spend them with. Can't wait for the next 25.

Welcome



This is the revolving door of the Kirtley home. Our door will be revolving for the next couple of weeks. Yay! Lindsy arrived safe and sound and now she and Katey are heading off to New York. Sean and Stacey will be here this weekend. Natalie is heading off to Santa Barbara for a wedding this weekend. We got word this week that Jill, Rosie, and Dylan will be by sometime the first of August. Of course our door is always revolving with Danielle's friends. So if you have been thinking of a visit now may be the time, while the door is revolving, just don't let it hit you on your way out.

LOVE IS IN THE AIR

Where have I been? Long time no post. Well I have been to Weddings, Bridal Showers, and Baby Showers. Yes there are still several more to come. It seems this is the summer to get married. I love seeing these happy couples just getting started.

We have also just been hanging around home. Danielle went to EFY in Santa Barbara and had a great time. She made some great new friends.
We had a fun 4th of July Barbque with friends and saw a fabulous fireworks show. Katey is leaving for New York with the OS this Friday. I hope they have the time of their lives. I will try to post more often since so many people frequent this blog and live for all the info that I share.

Time Flying

Well time has just flown by since my last post. It has been a busy and exciting time for the family. Katey graduated from Etiwanda High. She played the whole thing down and acted like she could have cared-a-less until the actual moment arrived. It was a very warm evening and the crowd was one of the most rowdy I have ever seen at a graduation.

Next exciting bit of news... Natalie finally got her mission call. After days of stalking the mailman it finally arrived on a Friday. Ken was at the gym so she called him several times leaving messages that he had better get home by 3:15 because she was opening it as soon as Danielle arrived home from school. She called Sean and told him she would be calling him at 3:15 so he had better be waiting. Of course when she actually called him at 3:15 he didn't answer it the first time just to freak her out. Grandpa Roberts had the video going to capture the moment...
Grandma Paul high tailed it up to our place with World atlas and Magnifying glass in hand. Hey look how did she know South America?

Reports to Provo MTC September 19th


Danielle made it through her freshman year!!!! She did have to say good bye to her best bud Corey. What a nice guy and good friend.
Danielle also went to girls camp ( not her favorite) and got her camp name this year. She will now be known as Fox. Here she is after a week of camp o-natural. She hates this picture but I love it because she looks like my little girl.
Finally, Sean had a little accident on the Dirt Bike. A guy side swiped him going full speed and ripped his foot up. Apparently a footpeg went all the way through Sean's riding boot and tore his foot open. When he called he said he had a hole in his foot. I had this picture in my mind of a hole like a cartoon character would have , you know, a nice clean hole straight through. Anyways after 13 stitches he no longer has a hole in his foot. He has been at BYUi 2 years and has visited the emergency room 2 times for stitches. I hope this isn't a trend.

WARNING : THE NEXT PICTURE IS GROSS

Sweetie Pie

Lexie came to visit. She was just adorable and as smart as can be. We enjoyed every moment with her. She swam, and played bouncy ball, computer, xbox and anything else she could find. It was so fun to have a little one hanging around. Of course, we catered to her every whim. Who wouldn't ?

Welcome Katey!

This past Saturday Katey was welcomed into Relief Society in a big way. We were all invited to a special luncheon to welcome the Senior girls in the ward. The theme was A Bridge to Paradise. We had some laughs over that. What was Young Womens? Anyways here we are all ready to go.



Katey about to enjoy her lovely plate of food that was over the top fancy.
