SEASON’S GREETINGS
from Kent and Keena Price
(Note: You may click on pictures to enlarge)
Dear Friends and Family,
The short version: Same home; same jobs; 1 new grandchild; four of our children moving this year; more travel and we still feel pretty good.
The long version: This
has not been a year of great changes for us but it has been a full year
nonetheless. Our twelfth grandchild,
Joseph Hampton Davis (pictured at left), was born to Kerrie and Neal in
Our major trip of the year was going to
Keena: The light of the
Gospel, family, friends and home – what more is there? I enjoy our local church congregation and
teaching in the women’s organization.
It’s been fun to get settled into our home and to host family dinners,
receptions, and neighborhood gatherings.
A great blessing has been jogging/walking every
weekday morning with a good friend and neighbor. Less of a blessing is the desert soil which
kills about a third of everything I plant. But now we have put drip lines in so watch out
- we may get daffodils this spring. I
still immensely enjoy working in the nursing home with some wonderful people who
inspire me in so many ways
(Picture at right: Keena at work).
And we
were able to have a fabulous family girls weekend in
So, once again, it has been a
good year for the Prices. We’re still
healthy, happy and we feel very blessed.
We treasure our relationships with friends and family and hope to keep
up with you over the years. Please give
us a call, drop us a line, or come by for a visit.
We send, as always, our love and best wishes,
Kent & Keena

Karl and Kristina Shurts (Ben -11, Michaela - 9, Kiana - 9, Dallin - 7, Kandra - 4 1/2) 30865 NW Yorkshire St., North Plains, OR 97133 |

This year we can report that the Shurts family actually started building their dream house. We enjoy watching their progressive pictures posted on their website (see above). Having designed the house, Nina sometimes plays supervisor. She walked in one day and immediately noticed that a bathroom wall was off by 6 inches from her specs. They were finally able to sell their home in Hillsboro and are now living in a nice nearby rental house until their new home is finished. Nina is still involved in Siege (an anti-pornography campaign). Karl continues as a project manager at Intel. How can the children grow so fast? At 11, Ben is practically a teen-ager! |

Krey and Lindy Price (Jaedin - 5, Cambren - 3 ½, Addisen – 1 ¼ ) 2419 Lewellyn, Troutdale, OR 97060 |

Krey and Lindy are still in Troutdale in the same home with the same job. It’s fun to go visit and see what new marvels are in store. Krey put in tile and a deck and makes patio furniture. Lindy’s artistry ranges from tiling a bathroom to painting, scrapbooking, gardening and making their own fountain. Having little Addisen around has kept Cam and Jaedin on their toes trying to protect their trains and legos. Their big trip this year was to Disneyland. After all his heart problems, Jaedin is in very good health and was able to enjoy every minute of the trip. Krey continues his work with Tetra Tech Engineering doing river restoration projects across the country. |

Jared and Kamber Turner (David Kimball – 1 ½ ) until April: 19190 S. Alpha Ave. #11105, Green Valley AZ 85614 thereafter: 150 E. Calle Del Rondador, Sahuarita, AZ 85629 |

The big event for the Turners is that Jared graduates this month from BYU in construction management. He has accepted a position as project superintendent with a major home building company in Tuscon, Arizona. We are sad to see them leave and take little David but we’re happy that they found such a good job. They will move into an apartment until their new home, being built by Jared’s company, is finished – hopefully by April. Kamber has been teaching horn lessons at a music school and has been playing in Premier Brass and with the Orchestra on Temple Square. She will really miss all that. Jared and Kamber have also been joint teaching in Sunday School. |

Kerrie and Neal made the big move from Utah in June so Neal could start a five-year residency at the University of Iowa Hospital in Internal Medicine/Pediatrics. They packed up their belongings and drove a U-haul to Iowa City where they were able to buy a real home. Kerrie is thrilled to be able to turn around in the kitchen and Neal has a den. The highlight of their year was the birth of Hampton (he goes by his middle name) in September. He’s a sweet, happy guy. In her spare time, Kerrie has been doing a pre-school group and has been remodeling the kitchen. She and Neal both serve as ward missionaries at church. |

As you can see Kevin is our man-of-many-talents. He continues to pursue a Mechanical Engineering degree from BYU but he still loves his music. He has been trombone section leader in the marching and pep bands but also plays french horn, trumpet, guitar, harmonica, violin, piano, and - just recently - banjo. Check out www.milkisthebomb.com to hear him singing bass in an ensemble known as MILK. Since last summer he has been working for the EDS division of General Motors debugging 3D visualization software – essentially getting paid to play video games….. He did a great job setting up and running the Gearmaster booth for his Dad at the Las Vegas Trucking Show last June. |
