FINALLY

Guess what we did today? Alyssa wanted to post this picture for Tali, Lexi and Grandmar. She is very excited to be pierced. Carter said she looks different and then asked why mom has so many holes in her ears.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY GEORGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FROM

YOUR

"SPECIAL"

DAUGHTER

HOLLY

Happy 30th Dan!

A few highlights from Dan's birthday party at Holmes Park last Saturday.

It's mostly pics of the kids but what do you expect? They're so stinkin' cute.

Joy ride.

Chunk

He thinks he's a big boy.

Twelve more years and we're all in big trouble.

Best Buddies!

A little too close.

Green eggs and Ham

This dumb bird started out with just one egg, then laid another, and another and sat on them until the very end. The kids were checking everyday to see if they had hatched, and you could actually see the babies moving inside, and she split about 2 days before hatching, so we had green eggs and ham.

I could'nt help it!

It's even funnier when you click on them. The itchies and bloodies are in full bloom for the two boys.

Jessica

Jessica, I know you are going through a very hard time right now, but you are so strong and positive that I don't doubt for one minute that you will overcome this. We care about you so much, and I know I speak for all your aunts and uncles and cousins and grandparents when I say that you are in our prayers and thoughts. I wish I were physically closer to you , but please don't hesitate to call or ask me for anything, I love you, and you will get through this, love Aunt Holly

MOM, DO I LOOK GOOD?

alyssa begged me to take pictures of her and Max outside yesterday, it was actually a beautiful, breazy, sunny day. There were these blossoms floating around that looked like down feathers and I just couldn't get a good picture, but I tried. I'll soon have some sweet beach volleyball pictures to add to the collection!

Jessica

Has anyone heard how Jessica's doing? From what I remember her surgery was the end of this month and I haven't heard anything.

I AM OFFICIALLY DOWN-GRADING OUR FAMILY REUNION TO AN--- "INVITE FOR ANY ONE TO COME OUT AT ANY TIME THIS YEAR", ---INSTEAD OF A SET DATE. I HOPE THAT IT MAKES IT EASIER TO GET TICKETS THAT WAY. MIKE AND I WILL STILL GET TOGETHER BUT PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COME TO OUR HOUSE WHENEVER YOU CAN. COLUMBUS JUST GOT ANOTHER NEW WATER PARK NEXT TO THE ZOO AND IT LOOKS LIKE A BLAST. OUR SAND VOLLEYBALL COURT IS ALMOST DONE AND THE LAKE IS GETTING WARMER. SO

Bumbles

Aunt Holly- Thanks for the outfits! Love, Nathan and the Little Blue Lobster/Fat Head

putrid

Look how cute this thing is, he is a complete animal. He now barfs in nursery in order to be released. Or if he doesn't particularly like someone, he'll throw up everywhere. The worst part is that he totally gets what he wants when he wants and I am to blame. Any help here?

HA HA Just Kidding

Soooo.... We'll be blessing Nathan on the 4th of May with baby Jaxon.

Carribean Treat

Andy and I are planning our 10th anniversary cruise for December 14th through the 20th. Its an open invite and so far the price is not going up. If anyone wants to get in on it, the boat is called the "Freedom" of Carnival cruise line. The booking number that will pull up all the info is 7X5L92. The total is around $550 per person with tax. This is a W carribean cruise, going to Jamaica and Cayman Islands. I have dibbs on Mom for babysitting, but Mike and Kim owe me for a week of babysitting too, so lets talk.

What the KIDS saw

Dad's birthday

Is it possible for me to ever look non-deformed in a picture? I don't think so. Anyway we went to dinner and sam's club for pop's 72nd

BIG WEEKEND

Carter was baptized, and fogged it all up within about 10 minutes, so here's to repentance! Mom, Dad, Mike, Kim and most of Andy's family along with some friends came, and we also had some fun with Logan and Kyler and Gavin

Nathan's Blessing

We're back on track for Nathan's blessing. It's scheduled for this coming Saturday (April 20th). We'd really love to have anyone that can make it out be a part of Nate's special day. We'd like to keep things pretty personal so we're limiting the circle to family members only. Just in case anyone asks.
Love you all and hope to see you soon!
Shane, Kenz & bebes

Feelin' the Love

Thank you so much to everyone that was able to fast with us yesterday. We definately felt the love you were sending out to us. We'd also like to thank everyone that wasn't able to fast with us because I was so late with the posting. We appreciate your willingness, and prayers so much.

Shane takes the initial written test on May 5th. Only the top 12 candidates move on from there. We're very hopeful and very anxious. One great aspect about this particular hiring exam is that they sent out a study booklet for the test. That's a first. So think good thoughts, cross your fingers, pray like crazy and we'll let you know how it goes. Results will be posted on the 6th of May. Yikes!

Help Please :0)

Hey everyone! I meant to send out this request a few weeks ago. Sorry it's short notice...

I'm sure you all know that Shane's been trying to get into the Fire Service. Not an easy task! He just recently turned in an application for Jackson County District 5 and we're really hoping and praying for the best. This is where you come in... We're hoping you'll join us in a family fast this weekend. We can use all the help and well wishes that we can get and will appreciate every bit of your efforts.

The department begins it's testing process in a week or two (they're going to let us know). This will only be Shane's 3rd attempt at getting on with a station but we'd really like to bypass the usual several years it takes most guys to get hired. We all know how fabulous Shane is we just need that to reflect in his testing. So if you're willing and able please join us in fasting this General Conference Sunday.

Thanks so much!!

Kenz, Shane & Kiddos

EASTER ASSORTMENT

LAUGHING OUT LOUD

I was sitting here thinking about how we can make the Marble Mountain Trek more extreme: bring one pair of clothes, take only rice and seasonings, trap and kill a few more animals, and generally go wild for like 10 days( lord of the rings style). Then I remembered how we all try to pack in a little more from home each time, crammed into our packs, and more and more items end up at Shelley Lake then there would be at Black Bird. Well, then that's when I laughed out loud, because I remembered that Danny tried to go extreme without a tent last year and ended up in the Zuro clan tent, tucked in between Carter and Calvin, he thought anything would be better than being attacked by the prehistoric ants and flying insects at 5 am. Well he was terribly wrong, not only did we not fit in a four man tent, but Carter itched himself to death all night and I kept reaching over Danny to beat him every 10 minutes until Danny decided to hold onto his hands and sort of lay on top of him to stop the scratching madness when all of the sudden, he yelped and Carter sat up to puke on top of him, and all over our sleeping bags. He actually got four people with it and I was crying and laughing and dry heaving at the same time! I used bum wipes and roll on deodorant and Dannys head lamp to clean it up so we could survive the rest of the night. So maybe Lord of the Rings style will have to be an adult only trip!

HAPPY EASTERSSSSSS!!!

Well, it's that time of year again, same time, every year...these pop up...EVERYWHERE...and what comes into my head?.......HOLLY NEVILLE!! Back in the day when Iwas young and spry, at Ricks College, Holly and I would haul around in the blue dart. Three on the tree baby!! We owned Rexburg Holly and you know it. Holly was the addict first and then, due to temptation...oh the horrible influence you had on me Holly, I fell.....I fell hard. I love these mini-eggs and I buy bags and bags and bags every year and then stuff my face, get sick, and start all over again the next day. But it's good cuz it brings me back to my family, my cousin Holly Neville, then my mind wanders over to the livestock center, then to homeade pipebomb things we blew up in apartment complexes, then to prank calls, then....Oh I could go on. Happy Easter Holly! P.S. Notice the opened container of this package....I had to!!!

MS. HANNAGAN

So... Alyssa's favorite movie is "Annie". She loves, loves loves the singing, the " over acting", and broadway dancing etc... So she liken's her life and everyone else's to the character's in the movie. Guess who I am? She will mimic the dances, and say the lines only if she thinks no one is watching, but the note that I am posting relates to this story, because she secretly wants us both to be" girls on broadway", performing and dancing alot, and mostly being very dramatic, so when I got mad at her for doing so, she wrote this note ( I banned her from talking for 10 minutes).

LITLLE CEASAR BRINGS FAMILY NEWS

HEY EVERYONE, I THINK I HAVE A DATE FOR THE OHIO NEVILLE FAMILY REUNION. THE HILL CUMORAH PAGEANT WILL DETERMINE THE START DATE, AND THERE ARE SOME WHO WILL PROBABLY COME EARLY OR LEAVE EARLY, BUT THE LAST DAY OF THE PAGEANT IN PALMYRA IS JULY 19TH. SO LETS TRY TO GO TO NIAGARA FALLS, AND I THINK THERE IS A HISTORICAL SITE ON THE WAY AS WELL. LETS PLAN ON ONE NIGHT IN A MOTEL FOR THAT AND I WILL TRY AND GET SOME TRANSPORTATION IN THE MEAN TIME. ALSO THERE IS A VERY HUGE WATER, AMUSEMENT PARK IN CLEVELAND, THAT WOULD BE FUN TO HIT ON THE WAY BACK. FROM THEN, WE CAN SWIM, RELAX, BARBEQUE AND PLAY VOLLEYBALL AT OUR HOUSE, AND THOSE OF YOU WHO WANT TO GO UP TO KIRTLAND,OH CAN GO LATER ON DURING THE WEEK ( ITS 3 HRS FROM OUR HOUSE). PALMYRA IS 6.5 HOURS FROM OUR HOUSE. SOME OF YOU MIGHT WANT TO FLY INTO NEW YORK AND THEN FLY OUT OF COLUMBUS. SO THE ONLY DATE THAT IS SET IN STONE IS JULY 19TH, (IT STARTS AT 9:00 PM). IF YOU GO TO LDS.ORG YOU CAN LOOK UP PALMYRA CHURCH SITES AND KIRTLAND AS WELL SO SEE ALL OF THE DIFFERENT SPOTS THAT ARE NEAR AND AROUND EACH TOWN, THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO CHURCH HISTORY. I HOPE EVERYONE CAN COME AND ANDY AND I WILL BE BUSY GETTING OUR HOUSE READY FOR EVERYONE TO STAY HERE THIS SUMMER.

THIS ONES FOR G'MA MAR

I got alyssa some press on nails and she wanted us to be the same, and you can have all this for $1.25, french tip included.

Another cute girl... ugly photo

Not sure if any of you ever saw these pics but I thought I'd share the hideousness. Didn't want Tal to feel ostracized. They really are ugly aren't they.

Everyone's favorite little BLOCKHEAD.

Pinner's a favorite with everyone it seems. He's such a happy little guy (as long a Mommy is in sight.) Unfortunately, he still screams like a banshee. I think I'm partially deaf in both ears. Looks like he will be getting tubes put in. We're scheduled for Feb 22. Here's to hoping all goes well.


Lex has been such a good girl lately. It is incredible! She's getting real silly too. Today in church, in between testimonies of course. She announced that her Belle doll's boobs hurt. She also brought a change of panties in her purse. Just in case??? I found the little Elmos balled up on the seat next to me in sacrament meeting. Oh wow.

Nate's getting bigger, slowly. I was washing his hair with a baby brush to get rid of some of his cradle cap and most of the hair on the top of his head fell out so we shaved him. Now he looks like a scrawning little chemo paitent. It's pretty pathetic. (And no, I wasn't scouring his head.)

Okay Holly. There's a stinkin' post for ya! :0)

I'm having winter blues

Ok, so while everyone is watching the superbowl game, I'm doin' some bloggin' and remembering how fun it is to be in the carribean when it is below freezing in Ohio. What are everyones plans for coming out here this summer? I will try (again) to come up with a date and a schedule of fun events for everyone. I think we can go in the direction of New York and hit some cool spots along the way, and also have fun at a theme park, and water works of course.

Jamaica baby

I found this picture and wondered why my skirt was hiked to my armpits over my swimsuit

WAIT MOM!

Calvin will love me for this, but I think the bubbles are heading south on the boy.
