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!

Cute! I used to LOVE to listen to Dr. Laura when I was in college! There is NO WAY I'd ever call in, though, she tears them to bits!

Kirby! You have such darling pictures! I got a DSLR for my birthday, but I think I need you to give me lessons on how to use it! :> Got any expert tips for me? I'd LOVE to hear them! I'm still trying to figure the whole thing out!
