Temple Update

Hi family, I updated our blog. If you want to have a look at what we've been up to.

Talent Show

Sorry we missed family chat on Sunday. We'd worked on our talent and recorded our dress rehearsal for you. Here it is!

We also got one of these:

 
But ours is very dirty and has a bigger back seat and bigger wheels so it's farther off the ground. Then imagine your shortest sister trying to climb up in that thing in a dress. It's a good thing I've been practicing on the pull-up bar for a few years now —I can barely do an actual pull-up, but I can pull myself up in the truck.

And we got one of these after my Kia Sedona was totaled in a crash:



We got it on an online car auction, so in real life, mine has hail damage on the hood and top, a couple of cracked mirrors and it needs the windshield replaced sometime. We got a screaming deal on it. (That's a literal statement: when I told my neighbor how much we paid for it, she screamed.)

Reno Update

I hope I’m not being a blog hog by posting again so soon, but here’s another weeks worth of photos!

I hope you are all doing well!  Sounds like Shellie still has snow in the forecast!

Love ya bunches!  —Jill

Florida Spring Break Movie by Karly

Now a couple of questions will come to your mind after watching this...first, where in Florida are you? Answer: St. Augustine. Second, were there any adults on this trip? Answer: yes, there were lots of adults, it just we aren't hip enough to be filmed, let alone be in her video.  And third, who are all those extra people and why aren't her siblings named Phebe and Sterling in the video? Answer: I don't know, please take up these complaints with her at this email: karlybrown1616@gmail.com. She doesn't listen to me!

Here are a few other shots our bishop took of the kids in Florida...

Hi, Family,

Here's the low down on the craziness here!

Also,  here's a link to a google doc where we can make ancestor cards.  I haven't done much besides put in names yet, so your input is welcome.  The idea is to invite each grandchild to pick an ancestor, look up some info, and type in a brief bio.  If you want to reserve someone, go ahead and type your child's name by that ancestor.

Katie and Utah Valley Magazine

Hey Family! It's Ken. Somebody from Utah Valley Magazine witnessed Katie performing at Comedy Sportz and asked if she could interview her for the magazine. For FUN! Here is the article. (Follow this LINK.)

And no, we aren't sure why they keep referring to me as KENNETH. Katie has never called me that, even when I'm in big trouble or late for dinner. It's usually just a louder, "CRAIGSLES!" So, we don't know where Kenneth came from. Also, Katie loves the hog-jowl tacos at Black Sheep Cafe. They don't serve fish tacos. Basically, it's a miracle this interviewer got ANYTHING right. But this photo of Katie is adorable, right?!

Love to all of you, and we can't wait for Kansas!

Ken
