Engaged!!


KC surprised the lovely Amanda Hyer on a recent weekend trip home from BYU with a romantic dinner at the Ritz Carlton in Dana Point...he brought a bag full of 'memories' from their courtship (i.e. the ticket stub from their first date), and went through one by one culminating with him on bended knee with a gorgeous engagement ring!!

The Hyer family joined us in congratulating the couple at our home, where KC and Amanda retold the events of the night, and we toasted with Martinellis. We were happy to share this time with the Vickers' (visiting friends from London).


KC has a funny thing for stroking soft hair (see above)-
better get used to that Amanda!
They are SO in love-
and we are SO happy for them!!
Congrats you two!!

Cali Kaye- 29 weeks...


Greg and I did a 3D-4D ultrasound yesterday- this is when I love technology...wow- so amazing!! Before we went I very shyly bought a diet coke, because someone told me if you drink one before the ultrasound the baby will be more active. I felt so guilty buying it- as if I were buying cigarettes or alcohol...for those of you who don't know- I have a thing about soda. I just think it's such an unnecessary evil in this world- bad for your teeth, the carbonation is bad for you as an athlete, not to mention the unnecessary calories! HELLO- we have discovered Crystal Light!! Anyway, despite my feelings of hypocrisy, I went through with the purchase...but could only choke half of it down. Truly- I don't see the appeal??? Anyway, it didn't work- Cali slept right through the ultrasound- I guess she inherited her dad's ability to sleep well:). It was amazing to see her little features already- we are in love all over again!!


Rubbing her eye...



Look at those chubby little cheeks- I already want to pinch them!!

So those are the feet that kick my ribs all day:)

I LOVE this one- (check out those long fingers!)

We even got one of her smiling!!
