in the blog, just have them put their email address on here, and we will send them an email inviting them to be a contributor!
Also, I think we need to hear from EVERYONE that checks this blog! I want to know what is going on in people's lives. I know it is hard to sometimes post on two or three (or six, or whatever!) blogs, but it doesn't need to be long! Just two minute thoughts about your week, or your RS lesson, or any thoughts you have! I will do better myself! Let's get this blog going!!!

Kirby's life in a nutshell
I bet most you know this...but here goes. After Oakcrest I worked at EFY, went on a mission to Russia. Came home and was set up on a blind date with Travis. We were married 9 months later in the SL temple. It's almost been 5 years! And to celebrate we are going to DISNEYLAND...with the kids!
While we were poor college students Paisley was born. Jan 05 we met our Sassy Pants for the first time. She is really living up to her name. She is very independent and doesn't let anyone boss her around. She is really smart with a really wild imagination. You should hear the stuff she says!
Regan joined our family August 07. She is almost 1. I love this age. She is walking all over the place and starting to show her personality. She is also very strong willed. She has the lungs to prove it. Don't mess with her or her stuff. She especially loves otter pops.
We feel really lucky to have these girls in our lives. Travis is a computer programmer, and I am a home economist. I am lucky to be able to stay home with the girls. He brings home the money and I work hard to make it stretch. We don't have a ton of extra but we make it work.
About 2 years ago we bought our first SLR camera. And since discovered that we both love photography, for different reasons. I love to shoot people and he loves to shoot landscapes, flowers and architecture. It has been fun to have a hobby that we both love. We can discuss things together and most importantly its not hard to convince either one of us to buy new stuff. It helps when your husband wants it too. Travis currently teaches a beginning photography class at Hunter High, through community ed.
besides photography I enjoying exercising. Your probably wouldn't guess it but I love to get up early and hit the gym. It makes everything go better.
I also enjoy listening to talk radio. Bob Lonsberry, Glen Beck, Dr. Laura and Dave Ramsey. The best part? They are all on the same station. I just have to turn it off when Rush Limbaugh is on. Not a huge fan of that man....
I like taking the kids to the park and other fun places.
I enjoy shopping, but don't go as often as I would like, remember the home economist part?
I also love blogging. It is a journal of sorts for me. Why is it easier to write on the computer than in an actual journal? Probably because I can post pictures.
Well thats all I can think of for now. It was so fun to see you all at Oakcrest and to read your updates!

There's Only One Gender Up Here...
I know I've been out of the Oakcrest loop for awhile and I've no excuses! I'm not a big phone person and I could never respond to the mass emails for some reason. Ok, these sound like excuses but there are few of them. So, here's the update...
Nathan and I married in July of 2003. We were introduced by my brother and his fiance. Nathan is originally from the Buffalo, NY area where my brother served his mission and met his lady who was good friends with Nathan! (breathe!) We just like to tell people that we met in the celestial room of the temple. Because that is where we were actually introduced! He's a great person and I love him dearly.
Ok, jobs. Nathan make crowns. Not for Royalty, or Burger King, but for your mouth. He's a Dental Technician. He's in training and will be a CDT soon. Hopefully he passes his test. This occupation is his niche for he is the most detail-oriented, anal person I know. It's amazing he hasn't killed me yet for my messy, artsy ways. He's a good sport. Before Logan was born I worked in an art gallery selling art and doing high-end custom picture framing. I'd been there almost 3 years as production manager. I miss it like crazy but being home gives me some time to do my own art again.
We'd been trying to get pregnant for awhile but our sweet Logan took his sweet time getting here. We've no regrets, though, because Nathan and I loved being just us for 4 years! We did some traveling (nothing too extravagant) and just loved being an aunt and uncle to some great kids!
Now we have Logan Alexander. He's pretty much Master of the House at 4 months old! I'm sure all of you with kiddos can relate! We are now completely enthralled with our new ability to make him laugh. He was a pretty colicky baby but is much more enjoyable. I was almost completely sure he'd be an only child (I couldn't imagine doing this to myself twice!) but my pediatrician kept encouraging me not to give up and that he'd grow out of this fixation with crying all the time! And she was right...he's an absolute gem!
All in all we are so happy! We just bought a condo in Cottonwood Heights. We love the area and our ward. We have great friends and hope to strengthen my Oakcrest friendships! Love you all!
Jennifer, Nathan, and Logan Kay
