Catching Up

Wow we apologize for be so incoherently busy that we could not keep our friends and family updated on our exciting life. Yes, we still only have our cellular devices for our picture taking moments so it will have to do. Here are some random pics we had on our cell phones so bare with the randomness.

So here is by far the most random event of all time. Here is the story of my pet rooster/chicken. One beautiful morning I was awakened by the noise of a cock-a-doodle-doo. Yes, and keep in mind this is in Las Vegas. I stumble down the stairs trying to talk myself out of what I was hearing. Sure enough to my wondering eyes may appear a rooster/chicken in my front yard. I am not sure what the difference is between a rooster and a chicken since this is the first time I have been close enough to see a real life one (lame I know). I tried to steer that stupid thing into the road or even into someone else's yard. This scheme worked for ummmm about 5 minutes then there that stinking thing was again in my yard. I am pretty much the most pathetic animal lover there is to man so I figured this monster was hungry since it was at our house for 5 days. I decided that dog food was a good choice. Bad choice! that monster stuck around so i stopped with the feeding hoping it would get hungry enough to go back to where it came from. Sure enough it was gone. I was kind of sad when I found that it left because it was always exciting to come home and check if it was still there. I got over that sadness within minutes. If anyone has seen my friend make sure he is in a good yard:)

Clint had some friends from Phoenix visiting so we decided to take the to the Mandalay Bay shark aquarium. We had tons of fun. There is something about aquatic life that amazes me. I could have been there all day watching their every move.

Here is Dora the fish. She is so famous I couldn't''t resist getting a picture with her.

Cell phone pic gotta love it NOT!

A SHARK yikes. This is the one of reasons I avoid the ocean. The second if Jellyfish.:O

Can you believe I was touching the same animal that killed the croc hunter! Danger is my middle. Christie Danger Fink sounds soo good doyou agree?

Here are Brian's little boys. Mason is on the left and Kenny on the right sitting on Brian's grave site in Panguitch

Here is cash in his beloved bee costume for Halloween. Doesn't he look like he loves it hahaha just kidding. I swear I am not an animal torturer.

We tried to capture the action of him trying to shake that dang thing off but it was not budging poor little cash. At least he was warm:)

Thank You

As everyone knows the funeral services were held last saturday on the 25th. The day was beautiful. I just wanted to thank those of you who came and showed your support and love for Brian as well as our family. I know that Brian would be pleased to see some of his closest friends and family show up. Some traveled over 2 thousand miles to be there.

We appreciate the love, support and prayers that you have given us during this time. We would not be able to make it through without them. Its amazing how families and friends come together when a crisis arises. It makes you realize how close we really are and the love we have for each other.

I am grateful to know that families can and will be together for all of time. Nothing can take us apart. Although Brian is not physically with us now, he will always be in our hearts, thoughts and prayers and in everything we do. Brian is now in the greatest place and we will soon see him again.

Thank you all for everything.

He was hard working and always put others before himself. He had a quick wit and a contagious laugh. He always made us smile and was a joy to be around. We love you Brian. You will be deeply missed.

Funeral Services

Sorry. there was an update to the address from when i posted this morning. Iput provo as the city but the funeral is in Orem. For those who don't know they are cities right next to each other. I have edited the post so what you see below is now correct.

Its day 2 and emotions are still just wandering. Until this afternoon it has felt as though this still isnt real and your just waiting for him to walk through the door or give a call. We finally had the opportunity to go visit Brians body. Reality has finally kicked in. It was so hard to even walk through the doors just knowing that your brother is on the other side and not going to beable to greet, hug or talk to you. Our family has never had a more emotional time, but just glad to be together for it all. The strongest one in the family was Brians 3 year old, Mason. He kept telling his mother to not cry and that he would be there to help and that she can be happy. He is such a strong spirit. Every action, look and saying is just like Brian. He is his walking image. Everyones support has been great and we are so grateful to have such friends and family to be there for us. We appreciate that.

BRIAN FINK WILL BE MISSED

For those of you that havn''t heard my brother, Brian Fink passed away last night. We are currently in shock and denial and its been a rough morning full of prayers and tears. We know whats happened and just don't want to believe it.

Its just so suprising that within one moment someones life could change dramatically. I am just very blessed that we had the opportunity to spend last weekend with him during the deer hunt. He was doing so well and looked great.

He was a very good person and loved his family very much. He would do absolutely anything for them. He just turned 27 on sunday, 10/19, and he sounded good. He will be leaving behind his wife Caitlyn of 4 1/2 years and his two handsome sons 3yr Mason and 6month Kenneth

We love you Brian very much and you are going to be extemely missed. You make up so much of our family and i know were a great influence on all of us. You were definitely someone to look up to. Our prayers are with your family. They will be taken care of. I am glad we have the gospel in our lives. Its something we can turn to at all times. The best part is to know that we will be able to see you again. Again we love you.

I am at a block for words at this point. The whole family will be reuniting in provo by this afternoon. We should know what the plans are by tomorrow and i will do my best to keep everyone informed.

WEEKEND TO SAN DIEGO/BIRFDAY

Happy birthday to me YEAH

On Wednesday night before my birthday I came home to a delightful surprise. Yep finally got bar stools for my kitchen and .......


The beautiful back splash that I have been wanting forever. My little babe put together the bar stools. So with the help of Megan ( well she probably did most of it) they put up the back plash up while I was at work. What a surprise. I thought that was enough. Nope, then on my bday Clint gave me some perfume and a new coach purse. Loved them. Then he took me to get some sushi and fillet Mignon. Wow what a great day. Thanks babe and thanks Megan for everything.


I think I need some new canisters. Green is my least fav color and they totally don't go now what do you think.

We took a short trip to San Diego. We went deep sea fishing. Can I say WOW it was so much fun. We had to catch the live bate in our hands and poke them in the nose and you had to change it every 3 minutes. Can you say fun. Well I caught two fish both pink and too small boo. Everybody else was catching tons of fish one foot away from me. I could not figure out what I was doing wrong. Clint said I smelled to nice to go fishing and the fish don't like that. Haha what a bunch of crock.

I hate this shirt for 1 it says snorkeling is sexy and 2 it is the most disgusting color of yellow I have ever seen.

random picture of daisy with a pink dress I found for 2 dollars. She hates it but I love it so it stays on.


deep seaing it nice sunset huh. We couldn't take pics of our fish cause our stinking hands would never dry out at sea and we only have cell phone cameras cause yep I broke another one.
Back of the boat everyone said the back is the best fishing I think they lied so they could get all of the fish dang them.

We also went to San Diego zoo. We had so much fun. I love going to zoos because I am such an animal lover. The only animals I don't like are the boring birds and the snakes yuck and scary.


We watched the gorillas forever they are so much like humans it kind of freaked me out. I told Clint I want a monkey and of course he says no every time


Oh the Polar bear was such a show off. He or she was so pretty I want a polar bear for a pet too.

We also went to the temple. This is where we got sealed and we have not been back since. It was prettier than I remember. I was so grateful to be able to go back.

the temple at night which is now our new screen saver

Look at that. I love the San Diego temple because you can see it from the freeway. You go around a turn and there it is sitting on top of a hill perfect in every aspect.

LABOR DAY

Sorry these are so old but I have been so busy. The fink fam rented a huge cabin up on paragonah mountain. It was a blast just relaxing four wheeling and hangin out with the fam.

Family pic. Everybody hates these

The grand kids and the grand parents so adorable huh?

Sidney, Jocelyn, Mason, and Bradaen

This picture would have been good if I had showered and Clint would not have worn his stupid orthodontics t-shirt that he oh so loves. Webster's orthodontics there is your walking advertiser.

Four wheeling

Oh sexy babe in his cool gear and his cool dirt bike
