The night before the move...

Kev and Spence on the scooter together! Kev hates when two boys are on a scooter together!

We had to say goodbye to Scott early so he could go place 7th in Fencing Nationals, Way to go Scotty!!

The Owens' Visit to Provo

On Monday Leann drove down with Max and Scout. It was so much fun! We went shopping up in Park City, we went to the zoo, we ate lots of food, we told good stories, we played b0cce ball, we swam, and of course we all got our hair done! It was so fun to have her here visiting! Ben was able to come down on Wednesday and we loved that too!

Leann's Family Scout and Summer

Krista, Mom, Joy, Linds and Leann

Tonight we all went to Grandma and Grandpa's to celebrate their 65 wedding anniversary. All the cousins were there and we got to hear about events that have happened in our grandparents lives. It was fun to learn more about them and their experiences. I thought it was fun to hear how they met. Grandma was 17 and her friend from work, Minnie, asked Grandma if she would like to go out with her brother. Minnie introduced Grandma to her two brothers and said she could pick which one she wanted, She chose Grandpa! We thought it was fun that they kissed on their first date and they got married after 17 dates! Since back in the day they could only get 4 gallons of gas a week grandpa would steal gas in order to drive to Heber and see grandma. We had such a fun time and feel blessed to have such a wonderful family!

Conference Brunch

Hey everyone!
It was so fun to get together for conference brunch, the maple logs were amazing as usual, thanks Kate, and the stuffed french toast addition was delicious! I am going to get the recipe from mom and post it. This is a pretty eventful month for Kev and I, my last day of work at Sundance is the 22! Graduation for the both of us is the 25! I am not going to walk but Kevins graduation is at 5:00. Kev's mom is doing a little get together after that so we plan on having a dinner at Riverside Wednesday night for anyone who can make it I know it will be a good time! Sorry Collynn, I know that is the day you plan on moving!

With things starting to wind up and slow down, I am restarting the family journal. Lets ease into this so we'll have through may to get this in. The April/May topic is Injuries and Accidents. After Ben was shot and we knew he would be okay Kev told me how it was kind of cool, now Ben had one of the coolest stories ever, how many people know what its like to be shot! So lets record some of the injuries and accidents we have survived! Remember when Dave was riding the horse and the horse slipped and fell on him, or when I was running so fast I didn't see the barbed wire fence and I ran smack dab into it slicing my leg open from the knee nearly to the ankle, or how bout that time Kate hit Spencer so hard she thought she broke her arm, and we made fun of her and called her a wimp, and the next day we discovered she really had broken her arm! These are cool stories, lets record them!
Also I am going to visit Leann and Ben on Monday, if anyone would like to contribute to a care package, movies, treats, x-box games etc. just bring them Sunday to Moms.

Tonight we are just sitting here at our place and Lindsey and Kevin are over visiting.  Lindsey ran the half marathon today in Moab.  She finished in 2 hours and 45 minutes.  She is laying on our couch and has an aromatherapy pad over her knees.  Earlier today Collynn and I cleaned our whole house.  She taught me to clean all the different parts of the house so I can do the cleaning as she becomes more pregnant and has the baby.  She is doing really well though and hasn't really been sick.  After we got done cleaning Collynn took the kids to Chick Fillet at the mall and I stayed here to help install an alarm at our house.  I guess that one of the perks of working for an alarm company is that will always have the most up to date alarm systems in our house.  Hopefully the kids won't always set it off!  We are probably just going to hand out tonight at home and watch a movie or something cause we have church early (at 9:00) tomorrow.

Owen News

Tonight I got to shoot during half time at the BYU game for $1000. It was pretty cool. I don't think that I've ever been in front of that many people at one time. Unfortunately I lost, but the guy I shot against works with me and we decided beforehand that we would split the money 50/50. I told Collynn that I would give her the money to go shopping! I think she's excited about that. Another bit of good news from our family is that COLLYNN IS PREGNANT!!! This will be our third child. We don't want to find out the gender until the baby is born. Collynn has already started buying some clothes for the baby. Of course they are in neutral colors so they will work for a boy and a girl. Ryann and Jack are really excited about having a new baby in the family. Ryann is always telling Collynn that the baby is hungry or tired and that she should eat or take a nap. The other day she even said that the baby wanted to go to Chucky Cheese! It was really funny. She is getting very smart and for the most part is really good and obedient. Jack had his tonsils and adnoids removed a couple of weeks ago. He had tube put in his ears as well. We thought that the recovery would be hard for him but he seemed completely fine right when he got home from the hospital. I think that his ears had been bothering for so long that the pain from the surgery was less than the pain that he had been experiencing all the time. He is doing great now and is full of energy. Ryann and Jack have been riding their bikes outside since it has been getting warmer. Ryann is scared to take of her training wheels but I think that we will be able to get them off before the end of the summer. We are moving to Portland for the summer for my job. We are excited to go. This will be the last summer that we move out for the summer. My division and personal office are looking really good. There are a lot of good guys going out with us and I'm excited to work with them. We are going to go to California in a couple of weeks for my Dad's 50th birthday. It will be the last time that we are able to go to stay in the mission home before they finish their mission. See you all later.

Sweet Air!

Yesterday we all had so much fun sledding at Grandma and Grandpa's! It was like being a kid again, we built some sweet jumps, almost slid into the river, threw some snowballs and attempted a mini snowman and fort! We all had so much fun we decided next big snow we need to hit the hills again!

After Sledding I made Jack a Spiderman cake for his Birthday. He was so excited about it! It was really fun to decorate. I am trying to get better at cake decorating so for everyones birthday I want to try to make them a cake so let me know what kinds everyone wants!
