Getting back into blogging

It's been a while since we last blogged so here's a few highlights and pictures from the last month or so. Life continues to be busy for us. Benjamin is hard at work with interpreting at LDS Hospital and taking a grueling semester of Organic Chemistry. It's a good thing he's got such a great tutor. I (Nicky) have been busy as well watching Sylvia grow up and change and learn a little more each day. I've also been keeping up with taking care of Mom and Dad's properties and any requests they make of me. I've also started something that I never thought I would do but I find that I'm enjoying it quite a bit. I've become an Independent Beauty Consultant with Mary Kay Cosmetics. There. The cat's out of the bag. Unless someone else has already spilled the beans. And Benjamin is being very supportive and has even signed up as a consultant himself. I bet a lot of you didn't know that there are men beauty consultants. Anyway, it's been fun and
something I can do mostly from home.

Sylvia loves to look at the bird and tries to touch her while she's in her cage (the bird is in the cage). She'll put out her hand and sometimes put her fingers through the little metal bars. The bird isn't too people friendly and will bite her if she gets the chance.

There's still more to write but I'll get to it later.

The Twirling Sylvia

Kay Olympics Sandy UT Aug 2008

We went to spend some time with grandma and grandpa Clayson after the family reunion and we later went out to eat at Olive Garden. The Claysons are such good family and we are glad that both they and grandma Kay are able to see this little girl grow up. Grandpa says she is looking more and more like her mom. Bonnie seems to think she still looks a lot like her dad.

The Family Shot


The Kroll Family Reunion






The Benjamin, Nicky and Sylvia Kay family took an afternoon to attend the Kroll Family reunion. We really had a good time. We forgot that it was a bring your own meat event, so we got to experiment with the vegetarian in us. The family went to great lengths to put the event together and it was a success. It seems like the people in my generation are bringing forth another generation of children. We played a game called Kroll"o" (akin to bingo), with an emphasis on words and phrases about our Kroll heratige. We are proud of the people that came before us and look foreward to many future reunions. Thank you Family.
