We stopped at some of the tourist traps and found this huge indian.

This is the largest cross in North America. It is in Texas of course. Don't mess with Texas!

More from our trip to Oklahoma

We took a week long trip to Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkansas. We camped the first night in Colorado at a beautiful lake.

Here we are posing with the Hall family. Scott is my second cousin. His grandpa (Darrell Brinkerhoff) is my dad's brother.

Korbin and Kristen pose with friends from the Stockton ward in Missouri.

We stopped in Oklahoma to visit my Aunt Irene (my dad's sister) and Uncle Jack. We had a wonderful time getting to know them better. We spent the night with them and enjoyed their beautiful log house, 25 acre farm and lake. They were so kind to us, cooking wonderful meals and giving us a comfortable place to sleep. We were so sick of hotels that we felt truly blessed to have such a wonderful family.

Savanna'a birthday

4th of July Celebration

We had a nice 4th of July at home. Picnic, frisbee throw, and fireworks. Kristen and Karl fight over the frisbee but Joshua says it's his.

Kacey lights the fireworks and put on a very nice show for us all to see.

We all sat around on the driveway and watched the fireworks. After each one we all clapped and said "Yay. daddy!"

Joshua loves all the attention!

Hiking to the Grotto

Joshua and Emma are ready for a hike. They loved the canyon and fresh air.

Emma gets ready to put her toes in the icy water.

Joshua wastes no time finding a stick to throw into the water.

Korbin and Kristen hiked a little further and ended up above the falls.

family togetherness

Kristen, Kimberly and I thought it was funny that Kristen is so much taller then us. Here we are getting ready for church and Kristen has her heels on and Kim and I are still trying to get ready to go.

Kendal and Alissa take a minute to feed Savanna. Sweet smiling Savanna!

Kacey and Joshua play outside. Joshua loved having so much room to play.

Korbin's Homecoming

Here are a few pictures from Korbin's homecoming. We had a big group of family and friends come to the house. These pictures were taken after most of the people had already gone home. It's too bad we don't remember to get out the camera more often.

Alison, Alissa, Kristen, Amy, Emma and Liz visit in the family room after most of the crowd had left.

Jeff, Dave, Karl and Amelia have a fun visit together.

Kimberly, Amelia, Kristen, Alison, Amy, Emma, Ben, Alison (Jeff and Liz's daughter) and one of Adam and Karen's daughters share a relaxing moment together.

Elder Korbin Blunck returns from serving an honorable mission. Welcome home! We are so excited to finally see him coming down the escalator. Our whole family was able to be together after two years apart. The grandchildren are so excited to finally meet their uncle.

Karl has a big smile on his face because he finally has Korbin back home.












A long awaited hug! It is so nice to have Korbin back home!

Kristen went to EFY at the Uof U with her friend Allia Huff. It rained most of the week and besides not having an umbrella and having to walk 15 minutes to the institute they had a great time and met many new friends..

These are Kristen's new friends.

Brad Wilcox was the session director.

Here is the group she was in.

We went to Flaming Gorge and went river rafting for our ward youth conference. Kristen and all the laurels went down the river with Karl as their navigator. We had a great time and Kristen only fell in once. But of course she fell in at the scariest part of the rapids. You see, the raft got stuck on a big rock and Kristen jumped out to push the raft off the rock but ended up falling in. The girls grabbed her quick and held on to her while a raft of boys hurried over to help. Kristen was more worried about her shoes being lost and wanted the boys to save her shoe. They finally got Kristen back into the boat and all went well the rest of the trip.

Look at those muscles. He doesn't even have to flex.

Here is the Bishopric of our ward. Doug Binks,Bishop Glen Roach and Karl Blunck. Thanks for all your hard work to make our youth conference a success.
