The New College Graduate!

Whoo Hoo! On December 21st, KR received his BS in Psychology from

Boise State University.



I really have to hand it to him. KR finished in 3 1/2 years (just a LITTLE faster than me :)) and with good grades to boot. Several semesters he took over 18 credits while working full-time. For a while he was even working two jobs and attending classes. He is amazing!

KR's mom graduated the same day with a degree in Radiology!

Funny Cat Video

This is an old video but a funny one of when Simon got a new collar with a bell on it.

An Abbyism

I have an Abbyism of my own to post! The other day I was talking to Abby over the computer. Besides our usual friendly see-who-can-come-up-with-the-craziest-name-calling-match (for example "you're a macaroni and cheese chicken peanut butter duck head" or something to that effect..) I asked her how Babbo was doing. She replied that he was at school. I then asked her if he liked school, and she came back with a very serious and contemplative, "It's pretty agressive." I about died. So funny! What 3 year old uses that word?! That girl!! :)

Halloween Costumes





Friday night was our ward Trunk or Treat. We had a huge turnout (over 200 people) and everything went well and everyone seemed to have a lot of fun. I thought KR and I had better dress up since I am always telling everyone else to do so.

I dressed up as a Q-tip (a used one of course) and KR was a convict.


KR heard that someone had said,

"Wow, I didn't know Brother Kirkendall had that many tattoos!"
I won the award for the most original costume. Whoo Hoo!































Murder Mystery Dinner

Several weeks ago we hosted a murder mystery dinner at our house. It was a first for us as well as the friends we invited. Everyone came in character and really got into it!


KR (as a European mountain climber) & I ( a proper secretary) and our friends Brandon & Nycole (a banker & a model - anyone notice she is wearing my Junior prom dress? :))

Shane & Chelsea (a doctor & an actress) and Jeff & Jamie (a golf pro & a writer)


The setting was supposed to be an old English mansion in the 1930s. We had appetizers, dinner and dessert as we played the different rounds of the game. It took several hours and none of us were able to solve the murder, but everyone had so much fun nevertheless!

Waterskiing

Even with the mild weather here in Boise, we don't water ski in October, so obviously this blog is overdue. KR's dad bought a boat late this summer and we had some fun days out on the lake. Actually it's a huge reservoir in a beautiful canyon - the closest thing to mountains we have close by. Neither one of us have a lot of experience water skiing but we tried. KR is much better than I am. The videos are a bit shaky since they are taken on a bumpy boat ride.

KR Water Skiing

Em Water Skiing

With my limited water skiing experience, I never realized how much energy and muscle it takes! We were so sore the next day and had huge bruises! On my last water skiing turn on the last day we went, I actually got up for a long time without falling but as we kept going, my muscles were so worn out I felt like I couldn't hold on another second and waved goodbye to the boat and let go.

A Visit From The Fam

Last weekend I had the pleasure of having some of my family come up and visit. (Oh wait, you already knew that, you're the ones reading this ... anyways...) It was so much fun! Thank you so much for coming. I wish I had taken a lot more pictures of the weekend though. (I will be adding a few more from the water camera when I get them...)


Abby practicing her glare--whoa watch out!
