The King Family

2010-11-30T13:08:00.000-08:00

Mom and Dad wanted to take the kids to the Horse show up in Heber. The kids got there boots and hats and went and had a ball.

2010-11-30T12:52:00.001-08:00

This year we decided to go to Hogle Zoo to trick or treat. Krystal, Lee and Weston came with us. It was super busy, but well worth it. The kids loved the carousel of course. Afterwards, we went to Grandpa and Grandma Curtis's house and took pictures with cousins. Alana was witch, Curtis a ghost buster, Georgia a princess, Jesse an astronaut, Weston a Lion, Kalen a pilot, Kelly dressed up as a girl cheerleader (he actually looked like a girl) Tracee a Indian and Ally was Little Mermaid.

2010-11-30T12:44:00.000-08:00

For Fall break we took the kids down to Zion's and did some other sight seeing while we were there. The kids has a blast and so did we.

2010-10-18T22:01:00.001-07:00

We thought it would be fun to take a break, so we took the kids up to Sundance to ride the tram and go for a hike. We had a blast.

2010-10-18T21:44:00.000-07:00

I'm so glad school has started. Alana loves it, she is in first grade. Curtis started Kindergarten and could care less about school and prefers me to home school, but that ain't happening. This year I decided to put Georgia in Pre-school even though she's only 3, but she is pretty smart and really wanted to be like her older siblings.

2010-08-06T20:21:00.000-07:00

2010-08-06T20:20:00.000-07:00

Alana and Georgia wanted to show off their new Sunday dresses.

2010-08-06T20:16:00.000-07:00

This year we went to the Days of 47 rodeo, I think they were more excited about the gifts they picked out. Except for Jesse who loved everything.

2010-08-06T20:12:00.000-07:00

Our ward did a little parade around the parking lot, the kids were so excited to ride their new bikes.

2010-08-06T20:08:00.000-07:00

Alana loved Coach Pitch, this was her first year competing and I'm sure it won't be her last. Curtis also loved T-ball, it's the first sport that we don't have to beg him to go to.

2010-08-06T19:49:00.000-07:00

Alana celebrated her party at our house. I decided since she wanted to invite practically her entire class that we better just do something close to home. I rented bouncers which we turned into water slides, and had a fun water party. Jesse as you can see had all the fun he could handle.

2010-08-06T19:45:00.000-07:00

This year for Curtis's Birthday we celebrated at Pirate Island, Curtis turned 6 and is a little scared because he now has to go to Kindergarten.

2010-08-06T19:27:00.000-07:00

Here goes my 4 month update. Alana graduated from Kindergarten. Curtis graduated from Preschool. Can't wait for next year!!

2010-05-29T20:31:00.001-07:00

Keeping up with my tradition of only updating my blog every 6 months or so, here we go. Since I last blogged I know we have had Christmas, New Year's, Georgia turned 3. We had a surprise 30th Birthday party for Jeremy, in which I surprised him with a motorcycle. Jesse turned 2. we had Easter. I had my 31st birthday. Curtis graduated from Pre-school and Alana from Kindergarten. So there you go. I will try to get pictures up for all of that, but just in case I don't here is what has happen in the past week.

Jeremy decided to open a new office in Washington DC, in which he will be gone for the next few months. His first week gone, I had a flood in my house, in which I had to pull up carpet at 1 am and dry it all out the next 2 days. Two days later, my car was broken into and my purse was stolen. I had to replace the broken window in which they threw a rock through, this was at 3:30 in the morning when my car alarm with off.

My friend told me things always come in 3's. I didn't believe her until 2 days after my car incident, we were at my parent for a family dinner, when Georgia came in and fell on the steps outside, sending us to the hospital for 5 stitches in the chin. This all happen within 5 days. I can not believe this.

So I hope the worst is over for me and my family for right. Our life is crazy right now. Hopefully we will be able to vacation a little this summer.

2010-01-01T23:48:00.000-08:00

We had family pictures taken in November by our neighbor. She did an awesome job with the kids. She has been doing photography for awhile, those of you who live in Utah you should check out her blog and give her a call to do your family pictures, she's awesome. If you want to see more of our family photos Check out her blog at http://alysgeertsenphotography.com/

2009-12-18T17:22:00.000-08:00

This past week, we let some friends borrow our work truck, well this is what happened. We were blessed that no one else was hurt. One of the guys in the truck was in the hospital for a few days, but is doing better.

2009-12-18T17:19:00.001-08:00

Curtis also started wrestling this year, something Jeremy insist on, but I'm Okay with him not wrestling, hopefully he'll choose my sport of basketball instead, we'll see. Anyhow, wrestling
went just about the same as football, he
enjoyed the water breaks, let's just say that.

2009-12-18T17:15:00.001-08:00

Georgia, Jesse I just get to hang out at home while the other two are at school. We play dress up eat ice cream and whatever else they want to do.

2009-12-18T17:01:00.000-08:00

My kids loved Halloween this year. Alana picked Medusa, because everybody says her hair looks like hers. She won First prize at her school for her costume, which was voted by the students and teachers. Curtis wanted to be an army man, anytime he can have a weapon as an accessory. Once again, Georgia and Jesse had no choice, they were Dora and Boots (I didn't stay up all night making that Boots costume for only one child to wear) We went to Aunt Kalani's house for a Halloween party, which if the party is at Kalani's, you know it's going to be a fun, with games and much more. Thanks Kalani!! The cousins got together for a picture and Aunt Kami showed off her Snow White costume.

2009-12-18T16:49:00.000-08:00

Curtis starting his first season of Flag Football, let's just say we will keep you posted on whether or not he will be one of our athletes. His favorite thing about football this year was when it was his turn to bring treats. So stay tune. I think the girls and Jesse loved sitting out and watching more then Curtis did playing.

2009-12-18T16:47:00.000-08:00

2009-12-18T16:20:00.000-08:00

Keeping up with my tradition of only blogging every 6 months, here we go!! Alana and Curtis were both excited for the first day of school, and so was I. For at least 3 days out of the week and for only 3 hours, I only have two kids at home. They both love learning, Curtis is amazing at create new things, he can turn any common household item into a masterpiece of some sort. Alana loves reading, but is a little competitive (don't know where she gets it) she doesn't like when others beat her on her reading list. But so far they are loving school, and so am I.

2009-09-10T20:31:00.000-07:00

HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY ALANA!!!!!!!!

Alana wanted to go the Classic Skating for her party, it was a blast. Everyone got to roller skate, young and old. She got to go to the middle of the rink where they played her favorite song "White Horse" by Taylor Swift. It was a great place to have a party. We had a lot of fun!!!

2009-09-10T20:27:00.000-07:00

HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY CURTIS!!!!!!!!

Curtis had a blast at his party, we celebrated it at the Kangazoo in Lindon. Curtis loved all of the bouncing toys and having all of his friends and cousins there. He picked the space room to have the party in. I think he really enjoys being the same age as Alana, even though it's only for a month.

2009-09-10T20:06:00.000-07:00

2009 Graduation

Alana thought it was so cool to wear the cap and gown. She was so excited to graduate. Curtis on the other hand, wasn't sure if it was cool to graduate. Or maybe he was just having an off day, he did love performing on stage though.

2009-09-10T19:58:00.000-07:00

WELCOME HOME KODY!!!!!!!!

We love you Kody and are so proud of you.

2009-07-26T12:41:00.000-07:00

2009-06-11T19:08:00.000-07:00

Alana had her first Daddy daughter date. Her school did an awesome job putting it on, it was a huge ball. Alana loved the chocolate cover strawberries and the dancing. A couple of weeks after the Ball she lost her first tooth. She was so proud, as you can tell.

2009-06-11T18:55:00.001-07:00

This was the first time Georgia and Jesse had ever gone to the beach. As you can tell they had fun. I would say the entire vacation was a success, we started with 4 kids and returned with 4. I would call that a HUGE success.

We decided to go to Sea World, Jeremy and the kids have never been. Curtis wanted to see the Sharks so bad, I guess he was disappointed he didn't get to swim with one.

Everyone loved Shamu!!

2009-06-11T18:38:00.000-07:00

We decided to take the kids to Disneyland for Spring Break. We went about 4 years ago and after this trip I think it will probably another 4 years until we go again. It was real fun, the kids enjoyed it. We actually started the trip first going to Washington for Westen baby blessing. Mom and Dad rented an RV and after the short trip to Washington we headed down to California. It was a blast.

2009-06-11T18:34:00.000-07:00

Happy 1st Birthday Jesse!!! Jesse wasn't sure about the cake at first, but enjoyed it later.

2009-06-11T17:57:00.000-07:00

2009-02-18T21:51:00.001-08:00

We took Alana, Curtis, and Georgia to Walking with the Dinosaurs. We absolutely loved it. Georgia got a little scared when the T-Rex came out, he was very very loud. It was a fun show.

2009-02-18T21:46:00.000-08:00

Georgia turned 2 this past January. Happy Birthday Georgia!! We love you!!

2009-02-18T20:49:00.000-08:00

Thank goodness for indoor pools in the winter, If you know my kids, we have to take weekly trips to the pool. This was actually Jesse's first time. He was pretty chill about it.

2009-02-18T20:39:00.000-08:00

The kids did pretty good for pictures (Not really) but at least the pictures don't show what really went on behind the scenes. Since Jeremy got to have one of just him and the boys, I was glad to get one of me and my girls.

These are our Christmas pictures even though they were taken a good month after Christmas. Hey, what can I say it's been a little crazy.

Jeremy finally gets a picture of just Him and His Boys!!

2009-02-18T17:22:00.000-08:00

The kids had a great Christmas. Jesse loved the wrapping paper the best (of course!) Alana is our little actress everything is so dramatic with her, you can tell by the look on her face when Georgia is opening her present. Georgia just goes with the flow of what the older two are doing. Curtis spent hours taking apart the rocket and putting it together again. Later that afternoon we went to Lori's house where we had Christmas Lunch and waited for Kody to call from his mission. It was a awesome day!

2009-02-18T16:52:00.000-08:00

Okay, so it's been awhile. I don't know where half of you find the time to blog, I feel like I never have time. Our business is doing awesome, which keeps me very busy. Not to mention having 4 little ones under 5, which some days they all are having bad days, which doesn't make my day any easier. So it's been almost 4 months since my last entry, I guess we'll start with Christmas. We went to the kids school for their Christmas program, and that's were they got to see Santa. Everyone enjoyed it except Georgia, which is funny she loves watching Polar Express and she is always saying HO HO HO when she sees him pictures or on TV. I guess she just wanted to see him from a distance.

Christmas was a lot of fun this year since the kids actually knew what they wanted. At least the older two did, and Alana just told us what to get for the younger two. Alana wanted the hair salon unit, and Curtis wanted a flying car, but what he really meant was a rocket. Which is a lot of fun. I actually enjoy playing with it. Jeremy and I waited till after Christmas to go shopping for each other, which I recommend for everybody, it was a lot of fun. If you know me, shopping is the greatest gift anyone can give me (even better when you don't take kids.)

2008-11-02T17:05:00.000-08:00

Finally Halloween is here. I can't begin to tell you how many times in a day the kids would ask if it was Halloween and if they could get their costumes on. Almost everyday they wanted to wear them to school. Thanks goodness it's over. We had a blast this year, the kids had a school program and then we went to the hospital to see Dad and their cousins. Alana loves Scooby Doo and had to be Daphne and Aunt Kami was one of the Grease girls. Curtis wanted to be a police officer, probably because he thought it was so cool riding in a police car after he got picked up by one (long story). And Georgia picked the Lion costume out of the dress up box, and Jesse didn't really have a choice, he was the spider I had on hand. We loved seeing the cousins! Sorry Ally about your head, you still looked pretty as the Ice Queen.

2008-11-02T17:04:00.001-08:00

Happy 90th Birthday Great Grandma!!

2008-11-02T16:57:00.001-08:00

We had a wonderful time with Dad, he had been in the hospital for 2 months. No matter where we are the kids love their grandpa, and he just can't get enough of them too. We Love You Dad!!

2008-08-23T21:54:00.000-07:00

Jesse loves when Aunt Kami holds him, she loves hanging out with our kids. Thanks Kami!

2008-08-23T21:50:00.000-07:00

Georgia gets her first haircut at 18 months, she did great once they gave her a sucker. Curtis and her are clones, she always does exactly what Curtis' does. He needed a sucker for his first haircut too.

2008-08-23T21:46:00.000-07:00

The kids got their face painted at the park. It was a fun day for all of them.

2008-08-23T21:41:00.000-07:00

Jesse has been such a blessing to our family. We just received his x-rays back and it's conclusive that his soft spot is already closed. He will have a CT scan next week to determine skull surgery. Thank you for all of your prayers for Jesse and Georgia.

2008-08-23T21:32:00.000-07:00

If you have been keeping up with our blog, you will know that our little Georgia has had a tough go around in her short life. But we are extremely blessed to have her surrounded by guardian angels. Georgia was ran over by a car, it's a miracle that she is with us today. We are grateful that no extensive damage occurred, and we are also thankful for those above who watch over her everyday.

2008-08-23T21:27:00.000-07:00

Alana was so excited to start Kindergarten, and if you can't tell she was happy to have Curtis in the classroom next door. Curtis couldn't wait to start Pre-school and get away from home for awhile.

2008-08-23T18:51:00.001-07:00

2008-08-23T18:48:00.000-07:00

Alana, Curtis, and Georgia had a great day at the big pool. Alana and Curtis jumped off the high dive for the first time, they loved it so much they did it over and over about 20 times. Georgia sat in the lounge chair working on her tan, she didn't want to go in.

2008-08-17T14:58:00.000-07:00

Georgia our little climber fell off the outside steps, three hours and seven stiches later she arrived home very tired and a little drugged from the hospital.

Kami and Debbie hates to say I told you so!

2008-08-17T14:57:00.001-07:00

The little cousins are always having a great time!

2008-08-17T14:56:00.001-07:00

Georgia enjoyed herself as well!

2008-08-17T14:51:00.000-07:00

Alana had her 5th birthday which of course included a swimming and a tiara
Alana's breakfast in bed, and not to ruin tradition we ordered room service for her breakfast in bed!

2008-08-17T14:48:00.000-07:00

Trip to beautiful Washington. It was a much needed family vacation. Including our new addition Roxy, the dog.

2008-08-17T14:41:00.000-07:00

Our family would like to make a tribute to our dear cousin Ty Ty, who past away this summer. We will always remember the joy he brought into our lives and how much he loved our kids. We will always remember his sweet smile and the love we shared with him for the Raiders!

2008-08-17T14:33:00.000-07:00

Alana and Curtis love taking bubble baths, they got a little carried away with the bubbles.

2008-08-17T14:25:00.000-07:00

Curtis celebrated his 4th birthday this summer. He got his first breakfast in bed (our family tradition) and his long awaited dinosaur party!

2008-08-17T13:46:00.000-07:00

Alana graduated from preschool in May and she was an absolute crack up during her singing performance, she loves the stage!

2008-06-05T15:29:00.000-07:00

June 5Th, 2008 pictures. All of the kids did so well except Georgia who only stopped crying for this picture. I'd rather have a had in the mouth then tears running down her face.

2008-05-29T19:14:00.001-07:00

OUR WEEK OF BUMPS! Alana was playing outside and fell off the deck and bumped her head really good. Georgia was playing and pulled a chair on top of her and got what I am sure is her first of many shiners!

2008-05-29T19:11:00.000-07:00

Our annual spring trip to the zoo. The elephants and gorillas are every one's favorites. This was our first time with four children and lets just say we were busy watching more than the animals.

2008-05-29T18:51:00.000-07:00

Jesse Raider is almost two months and getting bigger everyday! We haven't decided if he will go by Jess or Raider so call him what you like. He is a wonderful baby we just wish he would sleep more than 40 minutes a night.

2008-05-29T18:47:00.000-07:00

Georgia is almost 18mos and is right behind her brother in everything that he does. She is growing like a weed! She always has a huge smile on her face. We are anxiously waiting for her to start talking this summer.

2008-05-29T18:33:00.000-07:00

Curtis will be 4 in June and can't wait to get big. He loves to play hard and is very creative. He loves to learn and is figuring out new ways to get into trouble all the time. He is working on his alphabet and is starting pre-school in the fall.

2008-05-29T18:11:00.000-07:00

Alana is almost 5 now and just finished her first year of pre-school! She loves to read! She is excited for summer where she plans to spend every minute in our pool.
