For Memorial Day 2010, we had a swim party at Eric and Jamie's. Opportunities for photo opps with all the grandkids together are getting limited so we had to take advantage of this one.

In May we had a quarter birthday gathering at Eric and Jamie's place on memorial day. I will have to try and corner Jamie for some photos since I wasn't prepared to copy them at the event.

Also, it seems as though the family is becoming more familiar with FaceBook. This site will still be maintained monthly at best and I hope to start to use the Family History section a little more.

In the meantime you can try to find family n FaceBook through our family group site Getting Family Connected on FaceBook

I have made some updates to the family photo page with the latest pictures from Easter at Grandma Durr's house. I have some catching up to do, but this is a good start.

I finally graduated nursing school. Took a little less than 5 years since I got back from the mission. 

 I was asked to speak for three minutes. I had prepared a single paragraph that I somehow stretched out into almost two minutes. 

I got pinned by the teacher I had three times throughout the program. Luckily she liked my class and made things a little easier. 

I was surprised with the department award of "Outstanding Leadership." I have to thank Erin for allowing me to lend some of my free time to extra-cirruclar nursing activities.  

What's next? Graduate school in the Fall if I can get all my paperwork in on time. Oh yeah, also that test that just says if I can work as a licensed nurse.

What a fun time celebrating each others birthdays. Since we decided to get together every quarter instead of every month it has given us a better opportunity to do some fun things. We all had a blast playing broom hockey. Not only was it a great way to hang out but also a good work out!

My last quarter in school is turning out to be VERY VERY time consuming. Just 5 more weeks I will be able to get this family site going a little more. Please continue to help spread the word and get other family members to check it out!!!!

Getting Family Connected
Hello. I have designed a website to help build family connections and have some fun along the way. As you will see, we are utilizing family history, FaceBook, photos, and other interests to gain your participation. I hope that you will take a moment to explore the website. To see the web site, continue reading into the Getting Started section..


Getting Started
It's really simple to get started. We first ask that you add yourself, and as many family members as you can, to our Family PhoneBook. Some basic information is shared publicly, but sensitive information is only released securely.  We invite you to browse around (click anywhere) to see what's happening everywhere. And DON'T FORGET to spread the word to other family members.


Family History
An underlying driving force behind getting this project started is to start expanding our resources and man power in family history research. If you already are working on it or interested in getting involved, please visit our Family History page to learn more.


Technology Dinosaurs vs. Online Generation
There is no need to try and explain the progression of technology, because it has happened. Keeping that in mind, I have tried to create the simplest site and interaction platform with the tools and skills I have. The EASIEST and BEST way to get familiar with the site is to just click around and explore. Future newsletters will include tips and tricks, but for now if anyone needs help trying to figure something out, please feel free to email Kevin (kevinadurr@gmail.com). We also need HELP!!! You can help write newsletters (as easy as writing an email), manage FaceBook group, setup photo albums, and more.
