Over the Years

So today is our 6 year anniversary. I did a little formula for Cor about our anniversary but apparently it doesn't work, but I'll let you all know what it is.

1 wedding + 2 pets + 3 kids + 4 moves + 5 cars = 6 years of marriage. :)

I thought it was creative... know i know 1+2+3+4+5 does not equal 6. I know it equals 15. I just didn't want all of you to think that I was that dumb. :)

Anyway... here are some pics of us over the past 6 years.

Simpsonized Killpack's '09

Just thought I'd update what we'd look like in Simpson form. :)

Saturday at the Zoo

So it has been a long time since I have posted anything... I know I'm terrible! We have done some exciting things.
We went to the zoo one Saturday and Jovin got to ride on the merry-go-round. He was so excited to finally go on it, and I took him up to pick an animal to ride on and he got scared. Why? Well it didn't help that every animal on the stupid merry-go-round looked as if it was ready to eat you. They all had their mouths open and teeth barred. When I would try and suggest and animal to sit on he told me they were "scary". I finally got around to the side with the giraffe. Luckily he didn't look ready to eat us and I got him on it. Unfortunately he didn't go up and down. He was the ONLY one that didn't move. Oh well, Jovin was so distracted by the other animals surrounding him he didn't notice that he wasn't going up and down. He finally really started to enjoy the ride by the time it was over... hopefully next time he will pick one that isn't too scary for him and he can go up and down while spinning around.


Then the boys (Cory, Jovin and Mayer) spent some time in a big play house with slides at he zoo while I fed Pierce.


We went pretty early to the zoo that day so by 10ish it was over 100 degrees so we went home to cool off.

Clones

Well last night we figured out that we are pretty much cloning Cory. Cory's Mom found some pictures of Cory when he was the same age as Mayer and sent them to us. We were totally blown away. We didn't think that Mayer really looked like him or me that much, but after comparing the pictures, you might come to the same conclusion we did. We are producing a bunch of "mini Cory's".

Lake Powell

Two weekends ago Cory's work paid for their employee's and a guest to go to Lake Powell for the weekend. We left the boys with some very wonder friends and headed on a 6 hour chartered bus trip to Powell. The ride up wasn't so bad. It was a really nice bus. It had tv screens every couple of seats and they played movies on the way up and back.
We arrived at the hotel and had dinner and a fun couple hours of Bunco before heading off to bed. (btw, I won $20 for the most wins.) We got up early the next morning ate breakfast and got on a boat for a tour of Lake Powell. It was really nice. It took 3 hours to get to the place where we were to hike a mile up to Rainbow Bridge. I decided to say on the boat and work on my tan a little. I wasn't about to induce labor by hiking 2 miles. :) Cory said it was beautiful and by the looks of the picture it was. When everyone came back to the boat we had lunch and then took another 3 hour boat ride back to the hotel where we boarded the chartered bus again and headed on home to Phoenix. We did stop in Flagstaff for dinner.
The ride home was a little bit tougher for me at least. See when I decided to say on the boat and "tan" we then decided to stay on the top of the boat in the sun on the way back to the hotel. We both fell asleep in the warm sun. Needless to say I didn't tan I cooked like a piece of bacon! So just the tops of my legs, arms and face got bright red. Stupid sunscreen. Cory was a little pink but nothing like me. He is now nice and tan and I am pink still and peeling like crazy... (I know tmi.)
Anyway, It was a fun little trip and it was nice to get away for just one night and do something without the boys. Funny thing when the boys woke up Sunday morning and saw us home Jovin said, "You're back" and ran onto our bed. Mayer just kept looking at me and then Cory over and over again with a huge grin. Apparently they missed us a little.

Afternoon at the Zoo

Cor & Jovin
Mayer peaking at me.
Jovin drinking from the water bottle like the "big boy" he is.
Mayer getting tired... about two minutes later he fell right asleep.
Saturday we decided that 80 degrees was a perfect temperature to go out to the zoo. It was a great. We saw most of the animals. Jovin even went to the potty at the zoo.

FYI - Jovin is pretty much potty trained now. YEA! It took a long week of spending a lot of time in the bathroom, but he has been doing wonderfully. He earned a lot of Hot Wheel cars, mini M&M's and stickers. He even went twice at church yesterday! For me it was really stressful experience, but it was TOTALLY worth it.

I've been tagged!

I don't usually do these, but I LOVE my husband and I will take any chance I can get to share that with people. :)

Visitors

Cory's Mum and sister (Tasha) came down on the 29th for a couple of days to visit. Here are some pictures of them and some of the things we did.

Jovin, Cor, Ang, Tasha, and Mayer (in the stroller) at the Phoenix Zoo Lights.

Like father like son.

We also went to see National Treasure, and Tasha went to the New Year's Even Dance with the Young Women in our ward. We really enjoyed having them here and bringing in 2008 with them too.

'Tis the Season

Here are some pictures from our Christmas.
Our Christmas tree. (Yes we have little kids hence the ribbon and ornaments only on the upper half of the tree.)
A very groggy Mayer but still wanting to open presents.
Jovin, Mayer and Ang opening presents.
This is what I got Cory for Christmas. It is a custom bobble head of himself. If any of you are The Office fans you'll understand. It is one of our favorite episodes and we quote the line "Yes, I'm the bobble head!" all the time. Especially now that he has an actual bobble head.
Jovin playing with his train set.

We hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas and we missed you all.

What decade is it??

I never thought I'd see the day when my husband would sport a 3 inch fro, and my son a 2 inch fro.

Apparently last night while I was at a youth conference fireside Jovin got a hold of my hair brush and both him and Cory brushed their hair out... nice huh?

The Killllpaaaacks...

We have joined in and Simpsonized our faimly. I've wanted a new family picture... I guess this will have to do for now. :^)

Thanks Holly and Chad for the idea.

Man at Work

So, two Friday's ago our toilet decided to break! (Crap!) So we went the weekend having to manually flush the toilet... (Nice, right?) Luckily Cory has some great connections at work and got us a new, free, efficient toilet. So, last Monday he put on his "Mr. Fix-it" hat and put in a new toilet! He did a GREAT job. The new toilet is pretty cool there are two buttons on the top to flush the toilet. One flush for a light duty, and another flush for a heavy duty.

Cory and the broken toilet.
Cory with a hole in the floor. (the broken toilet is in the tub in the back ground)
Cory showing me how to use the new toilet. (Just kidding, he is putting pressure on the seat so the plumber putty will seal the toilet to the tile.)
Cory laughing at my joke in the previous picture about to use the toilet that way.
A proud Cory standing next to the done deal! And it only took about 6 hours to do.

Nothing Much

Well it has been a long while since we have posted anything. That might just be because not a whole lot has been going on with us.

Although, about a week ago Cory went on a business trip to Wisconsin for 3 days. Man, those were a long three days for me. The whole time Jovin kept crying for Cory, I couldn't sleep without Cory there, and the boys woke up at 5 am both mornings that he was gone. Let's just say we were VERY happy to have Cory come home on Friday. Cory had a lot of fun on his trip though, steak dinners, golfing, a room and bed to himself... you know fun!

I have been playing on our ward softball team. It has been a lot of fun. I'm not the best player, as in I can't hit the ball, but I can throw and catch. At practice the other night I caught the softball with my face. My chin was only bruised for a few days. We had a game the other night and Cory came with the boys to watch and support me, but we had a really bad wind and rain storm so the game was cancelled half way through. It is fun to play down here. We play in the evenings so it is cooler, you know 90 degrees instead of 100, and we play under the lights. It's a lot of fun. It's nice of the Elders to let the Sisters play with them even though we aren't the best.

Well, here are some pictures from the past few weeks of some things that have been happening with our little family...

Mayer was a little put off that I was interrupting his phone call the other day.

This is what happens when you leave a two year old alone for two minutes to go change another siblings diaper.
