I LOVE this picture! I call it her "hurry up and kiss me so I can go be a missionary!" face. |

Dropping Kinsie off at the MTC....
We met Mark and Courtney in Provo for lunch first. Then we all drove over together to the MTC. Dropped her off at the curb and sneeked in a couple of pictures before they kicked us out and moved us on. They run a tight ship over there. I couldn't believe how busy it was with all of these worthy and faithful young men and young women. Since the change in the missionary ages, the day Kinsie reported, had been the largest ever. The Lord truly saved the most Valiant for these latter days!
Kinsie's "Setting Apart" for her mission
Logan got asked to the Sweetheart Dance. Cassidee is the daughter of one of Rick's Trooper buddies. We had their family over for dinner one night. Logan and Cassidee hit it off. They started texting and talking on the phone. She asked him by dropping off a puzzle with the sign attached. He started putting it together and it was on our kitchen table for days, so I had to finish it. It's a picture of lots of different fishes in 3D and her name was on the back..

Kinsie's Farewell - January 20th
As you can tell, we had a full house. Kinsie's farewell talk (putting on the whole armor of God) was awesome and she had a huge support group from friends and family! She even had roomies from USU, co-workers and friends from high school come and show their support:)
My sweet sisters! I couldn't have pulled this off without them. They played hostess' while I "relaxed"
Rick actually looks like he's having a great time. This was before he decided he had too much stimulation and went in the bedroom to hybernate:)
Kins and her"Bestie", Danielle. Danielle got her mission call to Dominican Republic, spanish speaking. Leaves in June.
Kinsie, Marissa, McKenzie and Stacy. Marissa and McKenzie were Kinsie's good friends in High School. McKenzie and Kin also roomed together at Utah State. That is where they met Stacy. She was another one of their roomies. Stacy went into the MYC the week after Kins. (She's going to Texas). They saw each other for a brief moment. McKenzie got her call to Michigan, Detroit. Leaves in May or June? What a bunch of great girls!
The Montgomerys. We missed getting a picture of them at the openhouse, so we grabbed a pic of them with Kins the next time we were together....at Ashlee's. Kins wanted her Uncle Trav's smoked brisket one last time before she left. He's an ol' softy and did it for her:)
New Year's Day - 2013
What happened to the "good 'ol days when cousins played and talked with each other?" This is what ALL the boys did all day.....cell phones, Ipod, DS, etc.....
For some strange reason that no one in the family has figured out yet, all the little girls LOVE their Uncle Rick. They are usually found sitting on his lap or as close as they could possibly get. This time it was Reagan that claimed "the spot."
New Year's Eve
