Thank you, God, for calling us to Utah!
Not only did we make a change in where we are living, but we changed the size of our family now, to 5. In case you haven't heard, we are expecting another lil Geibel, on Sept.13, 2008!

Here is the latest shot of our family. Kacie is now: 6 1/2 mos. pregnant.

Kaera listening intently, with her friends, to Miss Pat, during the Sunday night kids bible study.

Nerts, anyone?

Nerts, anyone?
Shane n Tonya got us addicted to a card game, called: "Nerts,"and now anyone who comes over and is introduced to the game, becomes addicted too. Here are Marty, Sierra, Lauri, Shane, and Kacie, (taking the picture), playing a game. We pretty much play a few hands every night, before we go to bed. Fun, Fun!

Happy Easter, everyone!

Happy Easter, everyone!
Hope your Easter was great. We really enjoyed the holiday, and watching the girls have as much fun as they did, was the best part. Happy Easter!

Here is our little Squish, all dressed up for Easter, matching Kaera, with her Spring dress.

Here are Kaera and Maddy, her good friend, playing at church. We went to Mtn. Life Church, the church that is sending our pastor, Shane, to start the new church. Marty gave his testimony at the sunrise service, at 6am, so as you can see, Kaera is still in her pj's.

Mmm.. Tasty!

Mmm.. Tasty!

Here's Jen with Dada, showing off the basket she received from Tonya.

Our Easter dinner with the Finley family.

Here's the boys playing football after dinner, sorry it's the only one that I took, and it didn't turn out so well.

For all you Buca fans, yes, that is the Pope room. I was so excited when we walked past the Buca di Beppo Restaurant, in Salt Lake, on the way to the Jazz game. So, of course, Marty and I had to eat at Buca's after the game. While we were there, we met some really cool people, so it was a really fun date!

I am now convinced that if we were never allowed to visit Cali. again, that I would be ok, bec. I have discovered that there is a Buca's here!

The evening before Easter Sunday, we went to the Utah Jazz basketball game in Salt Lake City, because someone gave us free tickets.While we were there, we walked up the steeet to the Mormon temple square. Here is the temple.

Here is part of the view of the temple square. There is so much to see in the square, that not only could I not get everything in the pic., but it would take a whole day to visit and learn about everything we were allowed to walk into, and not allowed to walk into.

Here is the inside of the Jazz stadium. The Jazz players are on the court, warming up. Sorry about the lighting of the picture.

During half time, a man came onto the court, playing a keyboard, by bouncing balls on the keys. It was quite entertaining!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Happy St. Patty's Day!
Here we are as a family wearing green, and you can clearly see Kacie's belly getting bigger. (She's around 4 mos.)

Here is a pic of the inn we are holding services at on Sunday evenings, now.

Here is the entrance to the inn, and if you look close, you'll see the name of the new church on the banner-Mountain View Fellowship.

Here is the dining area, where we eat, before we start our studies. This is also the area where Shane teaches.

Here is the upstairs room where the infants play.

Here is the view of some of the valley, looking out from the view of the front porch of the inn.

Here is the downstairs of the inn- where the children's church is held.

Here is Shane teaching at the inn.

Here's some of the kids from the Sunday night kids church, coloring on a box that Marty used in his illustration, when he taught their Bible lesson.So far, there are 27 children in the group.

This last Sat. the new church plant put on an event at a rec. center, in the small town of Kamas, that was also a small version of Raging Waters. Their were huge water slides, water play structures, etc. The kids had a blast!

Kaera-bear enjoying a swim.

Here's Madelyn,(Kaera's new buddy), splashin around with Kaera.

Our little squish enjoying the water.

Madyson, Tonya, and Jen-a-bear, at the pool.

Marty was in charge of the rock climbing that day at the rec. center.

Here's Marty helping David out with the rock climbing wall.

Jen-a-bear was a little anxious to start climbing. Sorry, baby, you have to be at least 2.

One of our friends gave Marty their old accordian, and it needs some work, but Marty was excited!

Marty was recently hired on to the school district, and today was his first day as a sub, with first grade students. He's so handsome!

A student made this picture for Marty, on his first day of work.

I already posted pics of Marty doing the YMCA, during the Valentine's Day party, but I ran across this, and it made me laugh, so I posted it.

Heber City entertainment

Here'sMarty with Jen n Kaera, the night we went over to Soldier's Hollow, to watch ice sculpting and fireworks.(The red and green lights behind them are two of the lit up sculptures.)

Here's an elk that another man carved, and most people thoght that he should have won the contest, because of the amazing detail of the elk's body, and fur, but the man who carved the dragon won, because he won over the crowd with his entertainment skills.

Some of the awesome fireworks we saw that night.

Here's a dragon sculpture we saw a man carve..

Marty's B-Day

Back in Cali!

Well, we had fun in Utah. We are excited to see what God does next. Right now we are back in Cali. It's been quite a journey these past few years. Kacie is finishing her degree in Communication Disorders, at Biola University, and Marty is getting his MA. in Special Ed. We'll see what God does next...
