A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE PEOPLE.....

Of course Spencer and Tanner are favorites. We feel blessed to have them as our boys. They make us laugh all of the time. This picture is from Valentine's 2006.

We love our Grandma's so much. They are wonderful people. Grandma De and Grandma Zan are so good to us. We are blessed to have them as family.

Grandpa Louie and Grandma Zan at the ranch (Brown's Hole) near Moab. We always have so much fun when we camp with the Martin clan.


Grandma and Grandpa Watts are always so thoughtful and caring. We love them so much. This picture was taken in Window Rock, AZ. November 2005.

Rachel is my favorite sister. Okay, she is my only sister. But this past year I have felt a special closeness to her. She has been so good to me and has been a real strength. I love her so much.
Ha!! Its is "my" cousin Ruth. Need I say any more? She is so fun...so awesome...so incredible...such a strength....and always there for me!!! Even though she lives in the Mesa, AZ. I hope sometime we get to live in the same city as each other. Ruth is a RIOT!!! Crazy girl.

My cousin Missy has also been so great. We really got to know her again when we lived with her while we waited to close on our house. It was suppose to be a 2-3 week time frame but it ended up being 6 weeks. We had a blast. She is so much fun and a wonderful example.

Atalie, our first night in Cancun. We had a blast. Even if the first night was at a super scary motel. Our Spanish classes from high school failed us when we got lost trying to get back to our motel. It was just fun being with Atalie. She has been my best friend for 22 years!! We still talk a lot. I love her. She is family.


This is Mike and Atalie on their wedding day in Mesa, AZ. It was awesome to be there and be part of their happy day.



Tanner and his best friend, Michael Dayton. Tanner and Michael have been best friends since they were born. I have pictures of them in the tub together when they were babies. They have so many of the same experiences and grew close while we lived in Taiwan.

Shirley has been a wonderful friend. She was my boss at UPS. Then she worked with us at SRI. We have been through a lot together. It has been a blessing to have her be part of our lives.


Heath has been a great friend for years!! I can't believe it has been 18 years!! She has always been so good to come visit us no matter where we have lived in the world. She has been so awesome to invite me on some fun trips (Ireland, Scottland, England, New York, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Cancun, etc.) She was there the day we got married. She has known my boys since they were babies. She is awesome.

What a little man. This is my nephew Bailey. I love him so much. He is often referred to as my "medicine". He makes me happy. He likes to call me on the telephone. The picture above is old. He will be 3 in June. Just the other night he woke up at 2AM. He saw Rachel's cell phone on the couch. He usually calls me from Rachel's cell phone. He picked it up and some how called Matt and Heidi at 2AM. Heidi didn't answer but heard the cell phone. She listened to her message and it said, "Hi Aunt Kim"......he was trying to call me!!! How awesome is that? He is just a sweet little guy and we have a special closeness. I was there when Rachel and Jonnie took him home from the hospital and brought him home. It was such a spiritual experience to be a part of that. He is adopted. When he was sealed to Rachel and Jonnie in the temple I was able to be part of that and hold him as he was sealed. It is so awesome to know that he is part of my eternal family. I do have the greatest nieces and nephews on both sides of the family. I will upload pictures of them later.


This is me and Munchie. She invited me to be on her bowling team. We bowled with Carolyn and Helga for 3 years. I didn't bowl this year. I had too many conflicts. But it was so fun to bowl and spend every Wednesday with my Munchie. She was so kind to take us into her home while we waited for our home in Draper to finalize. Some thing that I really admire about Munchie and her family is that she and every single one of them (Uncle Dave, Adam, Missy and Dan) all served missions. I think it is so neat that they are all returned missionaries.
