I'm originally from Washington state where I had hoped to return after college, but it wasn't meant to be (at least not yet). I came all the way to BYU in Utah to get my education and ended up finding Nathan, my husband, who is also from my hometown, and who I dated in high school. Why I had to come all this way beats me. I did finish my degree in Early childhood education in April 2000, however, we decided to start a family rather than have me teach. Kirsten was born in Feb. 2001, then Zachary in Nov. of 2002 and Caleb in Sept. 2006. Now my life is my family and my full time- lifetime job is wife and mother.
We left on Saturday January 30, 2009 and stopped in St. George to visit Grandpa & Grandma Stevenson. Even though the kids had only been in the car for 3.5 hours, they enjoyed a walk around the housing park and ended up at the club house and the pond/ rocks drew their attention. The movie Sound of Music has a song that says, " Climb every mountain." Zach's song is "climb every rock form..." Caleb added his lerics to that song of Zach's with a "me too, me too." Grandma likes to make everything look nice and so when the kids were exploring she started weeding. Before long she had some helpers. Grandma would pull a chunk of weeds and then hand them to Caleb and he would put them in the garbage can. He loved to help. We enjoyed our visit to St. George. We had a yummy pizza factory dinner with Grandma fabulous salad and then a short game of the famous Mexican Train game. We were tired out from our many sleepless nights of flood control and didn't get to play long, but we loved every minute. We want a rematch! Before out grandparents left for church on Sunday morning we all posed for a group shot. Thanks for letting us stay with you guys! See you soon.
