Kellersberger's First Camping Trip


Memorial Day Weekend 2011

The Kellersberger Campsite

 

Not much to look at but we had a great time.


Cooking/Grilling


Yummy pancakes and hot chocolate -
it always taste better when camping!


Cory has amazing cooking skills


He even amazed himself :)




After breakfast Cory and I conquered the mountain next to our campsite. We successfully navigated through brush up a 90 degree angle and made it to the top of the mountain.  We then hiked across a small valley to the hill next to us to get on a huge sand rock.


The romantic in Cory came out as he carved our itials into
the sand stone.....awe so cute!






Here is Cory with his completed work.  Great job, darling.



When we got back to camp Cory went back to work at chopping firewood. The nights were chilly so we burned up almost all of the wood we brought with us. We only had a little hachet for Cory to chop with so one more thing to add to the list of camping gear is an ax. Cory was very sore the next morning after chopping our firewood.


Here Cory is declaring "I am man....see my fire!"


Here are some of the beautiful sights surrounding our camp.



















Even though we could not be in Arizona for Memorial Day weekend to attend the Leonard Hunt family reunion, Cory and I had a great time getting into the spirit of camping...
we can't wait for our next camping adventure!

On April 30, 2011 Cory Jacob Kellersberger graduated from Utah Valley University with a Bachelor's Degree in Technology Management.


What a cute graduate he makes!


Cory was congratulated by professors he has worked with over the last 4 years. They were all excited to see him accomplish his goal of graduation. One professor told me, "Cory will go far in his career. He is the type of person that people will like to work with and work for. He is a people person. With his work ethic and drive there is nothing that he will be unable to accomplish".



Having worked sooo hard to get his education Cory was excited to accept even a "fake" deploma!


Momma K and Papa K are extremely proud of him. They have been instrumental in his focus and drive to accomplish his education. Their love and support helped him get through the really hard time, late night studies, last minute changes to assignments, and all nighters working on projects. They are truely great parents!


I, too, am so proud of Cory. He has worked hard to achieve this. I know that he will be a great support to our family and will be a great success in doing the work of the gospel as well.


Cory and technology grad friend. They got to walk together at commencement.


UVU's President Holland spoke to the graduates about not letting this be the ending but just the beginning. Now that they are graduated they need to look to their communities and be strengths and benefits to those around them. He is in essence said "Time to go to work" in always in life. With family, career, home, and community.
Also the graduates were told a story by Dr. Gay, the key note speaker, that when he attending his graduation at Harvard University, Mother Theresa was the key note speaker. This was back in the 1980s. When she came to speak to the graduates, many were surprised by her comments in regards to the sanctity of life. Knowing her one should not be surprised that she stated, irrevocably, that an unborn child deserves the opportunity to life, that to end the life of an innocent child in the womb is just as vial as killing one outside of the womb. The story was powerful and amazing to hear. Hopefully the graduating class of 2011 from UVU will believe those words and will desire to protect the sanctity of life all days of theirs.



With the switch of the tassel, Cory became an office UVU graduate........Congrats, SA!
SILLY BUSINESS AT WALMART   -   Easter 2011


Cory decided to try and take a nap in a Walmart ice chest.


The he decided to stick me in it, too! The ice chest was huge.

Then on the way home we saw an Emoo (?) Cory could not believe his eyes.


That Sunday was Easter. Cory was a good little boy and the Easter Bunny stopped by our home and left him a basket of fun.


Like an 8 year Cory tore into his basket.... chocolate, candy, and goodies gallore.


Even I was a good little girl, because I got a basket too! A fun wined up bunny was part of my basket.


I had eggs filled with amazing surprises!


Then Cory set up an Easter Egg Hunt through the house and I got to be the 8 year now as I moved through the house looking and searching for all of the hidden colors of joy.


Here is a pic of Cory's basket.


Here is my basket.


Later that day Cory and I went to his parents house to decorate Easter eggs. We died and colored a ton.


We watched them change to beautiful and vibrant colors.


We had a great time doing it.


Even Haley got into the actions.


Colby played with Annie while we finished of the rest of the eggs.
