Hi, family. I thought you might like to see some pictures of Grandma on Mother's day. Us too.

Since no one else is adding anything.........
Ok so another quick update on Life in Georgia. Things have been absolutely crazy around here! The house has been cleaned and the garage is full of packed and unpacked boxes. There is no room for a car and barely room to walk around the maze. We have been busy updating the construction paint in a few rooms that never got repainted, doing all the little odd jobs that should have been done some time in this last 5 years we have been here. Why does it take a move to get all those jobs actually done? We still don't have a renter yet but are waiting and hoping it will be soon.
Hunter turned 4! And he got two parties, on on his actual birthday with the family and then last Sat. at Chucke Cheese. He was so excited. And we all had so much fun. In fact he gets to go back in two weeks for his friends party. It was so nice not having to do it at the house and then clean up afterwards.
Javin is busy and so ready to be done with school, but is doing great. And is such a help with his brother and sister. He usually plays very well with both of them.
Kierra, well she is a busy body. Keeping mom on her toes. Last week she ended up getting moms hairspray and sticking it in her mouth, she even chomped down on the pump and got a mouthful of the yucky liquid, Mom called Poison Control- sad when I have it plugged into my phone contacts! Then the next day she tripped and split her head open on the corner of the dresser. She was at the drs, twice in three days. She had her 15 month check as well and seems to be growing consistantly and hitting all the developmental milestones she needs to be. Well then Monday she decided to follow mommy up the stairs even though there was a baby gate in the way. That didn't seem to stop her until just getting past it that is. She knocked it over where it layed on the stairs and decided to climb over it. Once she got just past it she decided it was time to stand up and then tripped and fell head over heels right over it to the woodfloor at the bottom. Needless to say she ended up with a concussion and a CT scan and another dr visit. She still has a nice size goose-egg on the back of her poor little head. She has decided mom doesn't have enough to do right now and is trying to fix that for me.
Kenn is doing wonderful and is so happy to be "Signing OUT" of the unit. He has finally received his orders and and will be signing out of the company on the 20th of April. After going through so many different command and 2 deployments he is not sad to leave here. Alaska here we come!
We will be pulling out of Richmond Hill on May 1, and headed to Utah to see as many friends and family as we can before we go to the reunion in Idaho. We are excited to see you all!

Life in Georgia
Life here has been pretty busy. Kenn went to Alabama to help with an ATX (Aviation Training eXercise for a brigade at Ft Hood Texas who are preparing to go to Iraq. We were glad to have him back home just in time for them to tell him he would be going to Ft Bragg NC to help with a flight mission there. Thankfully it fell the week of Hunters birthday and because he didn't want to miss another birthday they cancelled it. But he did get to pull a 24 hr staff duty over the weekend and then he got to march in the St. Patrick's Day Parade here in Savannah. Mom and the kids watched the 4 hr parade on TV instead of attempting to battle the craziness of trying to get downtown to watch the parade.
Kenn had a birthday this month too. One year older, and wiser too.The kids are always asking how we know so much. Years of experience! We celebrated his birthday by starting the day off at the Little Miss St Patrick's Day Pageant which we had entered Kierra. For all those that don't know she won the Prettiest Smile and was awarded a trophy and a sash. You can read more on our Family blog about it. kimberfamily5.blogspot.com for those that don't have it.
Javin is doing very well in 1st grade. He is getting good grades, and has already finished his vocabulary lists that they required for the year. He is looking forward to being done and is ready for his early summer break. He is looking forward to moving to Alaska and getting to play in the snow, and see all of the wild-life there. He is constantly moving and talking and really enjoys playing PlayStation 2, his Nintendo DS or the Wii.Hunter turned 4 this month, and is really a very active, sweet, fun boy. He is in Preschool in the three year old class and is doing great, he lucked out and got his same teacher from his 2 year old class. He really loves Ms Judy and Ms Allison and is really enjoying learning. It is fun to watch him go through the stages of his life, which he is in a very big mommy's boy stage.
Kierra is 14 months now. She has gotten to be quite the little walker and and is such a little princess. She loves her jewelry, shoes, music, and following her brothers all around the house (to Hunter's great disgust (sometimes)). She has started trying to hold her own conversations now and loves just being part of everything. She even tries to help with the prayers at dinner, she is so much fun!
Mom keeps busy trying to keep everyone clothed fed and cleaned, and besides that tries to keep the house clean and ready to show at a moments notice. We have the house on the market as we are hoping to rent it when we move. On top of that she is continuing her education with on-line classes from Columbia College, and hopes to get her BA by the end of the year. Always the project mom, Nicole spends her time making bows, baskets, and bracelets for her new business that she will be starting shortly. She also enjoys spending time at the ceramic shop where she makes ceramic decorations for the house, especially Kierra's room.

Up-date on Ma and Pa
OK -- this is an experiment. I will just tell a little bit about what we are doing and what will be going on in the near future, as part of the Kimber's Korner.
My gout: Too bad I didn't get pictures of it when my feet were really bad, but they seem to be getting better every day. Meanwhile, Grandma Skousen and I are having fun watching movies, playing solitaire, crocheting lap-blankets for the local Christian church, and fixing nutritious meals. I am REALLY excited though, because I have a 3-hour painting class that starts Wednesday the 25th. I have all my paints and brushes waiting anxiously to be used. Also, in my correspondence art class I have gotten A's on almost all my assignments. Fun stuff! (And only two more months to teach school -- that will be nice.)
The only thing missing in our lives is your Pa (being in Egypt)! So here's a short report on him:
Glenn will arrive in SLC Monday night at 11:00 pm. In the snow. Yuk! But he'll "hit the road running" (or slipping and sliding I should say). Tuesday he'll be teaching school and a seminar that night. Wednesday and Thursday the same. Friday is a major banquet where he will report on "The Middle East and America in History and Prophecy." Saturday is the Kimber Academy movie night at the school. Monday afternoon, the 30th is a Kimber family dinner at Aunt Ivy's. What a whirlwind.
DON'T FORGET YOUR DAD'S BIRTHDAY ON APRIL 4TH! I can't wait to have him tell you want I got for him. Hee Hee (Shhhhhh!)
REMINDER: General Conference April 3 and 4. It should be pretty powerful!
Can't wait to hear all of your reports. Bye for now.
