Just a few engagement pictures. 22 more days!

The Immaturity Of a 13 year old Collegiate Athlete

Anyone who reads my blog knows who my 13 year old brother Mark is. He is as of now the runt of the family as we sometimes say. But in saying that I do not mean it in a bad way. My family always says, even though Mark will probably be the shortest (short as in 6"2 so the size of to most people a very tall person) but in being the shortest, stalkiest kid in the family he will probably end up the best athlete out of all of us as we say. The other day when coming home from work I checked the mail before I came in the house. I always search through to see if there is anything for me and I scrolled through a number of letters from a billion different unviersities with Joe's name on them for football scholarship offers etc. As I am searching through I noticed a letter from UCLA with Mark Kruger on it. I said to myself this kid is in eight grade this has got to be a mistake! I open the letter because I was so curious and in it is a hand written letter from the UCLA coach! Saying Mark, we can't officially recruite you now but please know there is a full ride scholarship waiting for you and we will be recruiting you as soon as you are of age etc etc! I burst out laughing in the driveway as I read this! I couldn't believe that my little brother mark was already recieving hand written letters from major football teams at his age. I mean coach Kyle Whittingham at Utah has already said there is a full ride waiting for him and so has coach Bronco Mendenhall but letters at this age is hilarious! As I'm standing there I look down the street and here comes rolling up in those rip stick/skateboard things is my still-in-his-baby-fat-hasn't-hit-puberty-yet little brother mark. He was sloppily trying to ride his ripstick and bounce a ball up the street as the same time. I just sat there and laughed at my collegiate athletic but yet so uncoordinated football dominating little brother. Even though Erica is younger than him we consider him the baby. Everyone always says that Paul, David, and Joe are going to all make it to the NFL, well guess what people.... My money is on MARK!!! Out of the three older brothers Mark is the only 8th grader in the family to recieve a hand written letter at 13! I am very proud of my little brother Marky.

At The Symphany!

Tony suprised me the other day by taking me to the symphany. We actually got fairly good seats compared to what we could have had. I had to laugh because those who have been to the symphany before know that the floors are uneven on the entire upper floors so as your walking to your seat you can feel gravity pulling you to the railing and you feel like you are going to fall over the side so for me and my special depth perception mixed with uneven floors I had to hold on to Tony and a chair the entire time while walking/tip toing to my seat. Once I made it to my chair I chuckled as Tony filled the entire chair and half of mine. This wasn't lard falling over the seats it was just a big dude that was too big for the tony chairs. If my bum filled the seat then Tony's bum definately wasn't moving the entire time. After about an hour of listening to the music and commenting to Tony about how funny it would be if the instructor that was leading as intensly as he was naked, I started falling asleep in my chair (sorry Tony). Tony gave me a nudge and said it was time to go and he could tell that I was sleepy so he had me wait inside while he went and got the car. So sweet so very sweet. Thanks for the fabulous weekend mister.

THE KRUGERS FAVORITE OHIO UTE FAN!

Little Katherine Rose from Ohio is the Krugers favorite little Utah fan. Even a day before heart surgery she still has more Ute pride than anyone I know. Keep that little heart beating baby. You have front row seats waiting for you at a football game next year. KRUGERS LOVE K ROSE AND YOUR FAMOUS!!!!

JESSICA AND TONY ARE ENGAGED!!!

So... Pretty much everyone is aware but I am engaged to the man of my dreams Mr. Tony Bergstrom. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world! I never thought I would ever be able to find someone that is more perfect for me. For those of you who don't know Tony and his family are from Salt Lake City with generations of Ute roots! He is an offensive lineman for the University of Utah, and yes all of my brothers approve of him! Paul is even the one who introduced us. Tony is 22 years old, he served an LDS mission in Sacramento California he is planning on med school after he receives his bachelors in micro biology at the U. He is my large, tall, dark, and handsome man that I have been looking for (even though he's a tad pasty). We got engaged on Thanksgiving day. I am so excited to marry my Tony and I know that we will be eternally happy.

San Diego Football & Hotel Del Coranodo

Girls Weekend in San Diego! Me, my mommy, Erica and Rose decided to go down to the San Diego vs. Utah game, Brooke and Julie met us there also. We had a ton of fun for example we had a party bus that was at our beck and call to take us anywhere we wanted throughout the city. My mom and Rose also had a GPS in their car so the mommys knew where they were going as well. Both hotels we stayed at were incredible. My Mom, Erica, and Rose stayed at a hotel was right on the ocean with a private beach so we all hung out over there and went back and forth from their hotel to ours that was a great hotel (thanks to Brooke) it was also the hotel that all the players stay at including the BF Mr. Tony Bergstrom (isn't that convenient). We hung by the pool and just relaxed until Saturday when it was time to put the game faces on!!! 63-14 baby!

Fundraiser

These pictures are at the fundraiser for Jane. Alot of great people showed and donated generously to Jane and her family. The helmet I am holding was signed by everyone on the team and someone the two guys in the picture below both donated $750 for the helmet and a signed football. Its amazing how many people come out to help people they hardly even know. Jane is back in the hospital going through her second round of Chemo. She is doing pretty well as of now!

Me, mom, Erica, and Mr. Tony's arm at Joe's football game. I apparently had something in my nose.
