Breaking the King family curse!

So our girls have all run for different studentbody offices at school and we have always come in second......until now. Ashley was running for studentbody historian at Centennial Middle School and we just found out today that she won! The curse is lifted! It couldn't happen to a nicer girl! I know she will do a great job! Way to go Ash! We are proud of you!

Casey's University Chorale Concert

Last week we were treated to a wonderful evening of singing when we went to Casey's University Chorale concert at the Provo tabernacle. It was beautiful and we were happy to have a fun family activity.

I should also add that Casey is now back at home after finishing her first year of college. It will be fun to have her back for a few months. She had a great time at Heritage Halls and she is loving her experience at BYU.

The birth of an old man!


Say it ain't so! Kevin turned 50 today! That's half a century! Weird! I think he had a nice day. (As nice as it can be on a fast Sunday!) We had his parents over for a nice steak dinner which he grilled himself. It turned out to be a fun but fast day. Happy Birthday Kevin!

St. George in the spring....

Abby, Ashley, Kevin and I took off to St. George for just a couple days. (Casey busy with school and Courtney playing elsewhere.) We had a fun few days soaking up the sun.

Nothing like a good game of miniature golf!



Yum- Pizza Factory!


This is at the Tonaquint Nature Center.


We found a park that is a lot of fun. This is the official name of the park, but the kids call it the "spinny park".

More Easter happenings....

We are celebrating Easter this year without Courtney, who is in Southern California with Emilee Sudweeks and her family. (Incidentally, Courtney called us to tell us that she had just been in an earthquake. The magnitude was 6.9 which they upgraded to 7.2 later. We are so glad that they are okay. How scary! They were in San Diego at the time. I was in an earthquake that was a 5.5 and I thought that was scary! It doesn't sound like there was too much damage though. Amazing when you consider that the Haiti earthquake was 6.8!) We were also missing Lynnell and McKenzie, who are in Ukraine and won't be back until the end of the week. Besides Ukraine, they are going to London. We are so excited for them to return so we can hear all about their adventure!



The girls minus Courtney waiting to start our annual Easter treasure hunt.

They found the Easter basket!


Abby got a fun little Easter craft to do during General Conference.

Ashley had fun working on hers, too.

We also celebrated Casey and Kevin's birthdays. Here is Casey with some cute notes from Bentley and Brody.

Grandpa King always seems to be able to hide Casey's eggs so well she can never find them all. She was able to find them this time! Victory!
