Julie "Petersen" Haynie

These are Juliebird's darling kids! Since she didn't write down any info to go with I'm going to have to improv. Lincoln is 3 years old, and by the looks of it is practicing up for his next Dental Appointment. Tyler is the the cutie in yellow...he should be about what...2 years old. Faith is in the middle she's 14 months now, so this is an old pic..but it's new to you... So enjoy! They're up in Michigan right now, while Julie's husband Jared goes to Law School. Kidlet #4 is on it's way, so they'll be a full house soon!

While Mom's Away

Long time, no blog. I've been in Utah with the kids...being sick and visiting the family. I'll have to show pics of that later. Got some really ones! Here's what Adam does with the kids while I'm out running errands. Crazy kids...all three of them. They're practicing up for Halloween. Pud insists that she's going to be a ghost for Halloween. Where she gets this stuff is beyond me. I thought she was going to be Belle, but hey a ghost works for me too. Cal is going to be a chicken. Will post photos of that one! Holidays are coming up so fast on us now, we'll see if I can keep this going! I'm sure there will be many stories to tell! 

Stephanie "Perry" Curtis and Family

just wanted to let you guys know that the balance of power in the Curtis Family will be shifting to the boys. We are expecting our 3rd baby on March 25th. I told Max after the ultrasound that he was going to have a little brother just like him. I guess that confused him because he thinks he has a baby in his tummy now. The baby appeared healthy from the ultrasound, so that is a relief. We are all doing well. We FINALLY were able to potty train Max 3 weeks ago. He definitely gets his stubbornness from his dad! He is attending preschool twice a week and loves it! Renee is happy 99% of the time and has a head full of curry hair. McKay finished his course work last semester and started working with a professor this fall. His dissertation work will be in the area of Nonparametric Bayesian Statistics dealing with copulas…don't ask me what that means!

I am still working part-time for a physical therapists office doing the typing of their patient's evaluations and part-time the Center for the Study of Elections and Democracy at BYU. Both are jobs I can do from home. I'm definitely looking forward to McKay finishing school, so I won't have to work anymore. I'm not sure how I am going to balance things with 3 kids…sometimes I feel like I can hardly survive now.

That is all from our end.
Take care!
Stephanie
 

The First Victim: The Tippetts Family

This is Josh & Carrie Tippetts. You may know Carrie better as Carrie Cole, youngest duaghter of Conrad & Claudia Cole, or just Care by most of her close friends. She lives in Orange, CA with her husband Josh and two little girls, Elizabeth & Abigail. Elizabeth is 2 and Abigail is 5 months now. They love going to Disneyland, Costco, and hanging out with their family! Carrie is really good and making home movies of the family, editing them with music and everything. Josh loves working on his really old yellow truck, named Porky. Elizabeth loves singing, dress up, and being a princess. Abi is sort of just at the stage where she likes to eat.
Carrie and Josh have been married for almost four years this Jan. coming up. They met up at Rick's College. Josh was actually roomates/friends with Scott Hymas and Adam Jensen. Carrie only knew Josh by his nickname, Hobie. If you want the details on that one...email me! :)
They wrote while he served his mission the Phillipines and were just friends. Then out of the blue, they were engaged. At least that's what it felt like. Hopefully if I'm getting this information all wrong, Carrie will actually write her own bio next time! 

Some things never change...

CORY: This may be a familiar sight for some of you. Growing up I certainly know it was for me. More Sundays than not, this was the scene on the pulpit in the Norco 2nd ward! I think that's why we sat on the other side of the chapel, so we didn't have to see Dad snoozing during Sacrament Meeting. He still falls asleep sitting up, something he perfected back in those days. This was taken just last month at my house in Anaheim, CA. I have yet to recieve replies from everyone, so I hope that this inspires you to get going on it! I mean come on, your family pictures have to be better than this...right? 

Here we go!

When my high school reunion came around last year, I realized a few things.
#1: High school was for the most part just okay, but not worth rehashing with a bunch of people I didn't really relate to.
#2: When I think of my adventures of a youth, I don't even think of High school. I think about my times I spent with my Norco 2nd Ward Youth group!
#3: These were the people I would much rather like to have a reunion with. But because some of them didn't go to my high school and even more weren't in my graduating class, I just didn't find it motivating to go.
And that brings us back to here. I'm starting this blog for all of those who were a part of the Norco 2nd ward youth, leaders, & friends. Tell us where you are, where you're families are, what you do, and some of your best memories of the past!
Email me with your Information/Post/Pictures and I'll put it on the Blog here! I think if we keep passing it along, we'll find a lot of people! corycludvigson@mail.com
Can't wait to hear from everyone!
