    As for movies, "If there is singing or dancing, I'm there!" she says. Kaydee especially enjoys iced tea and any dish that includes pasta, but does NOT enjoy sports that make her sweat. She loves to surf, but will get a chance this summer.

He is currently working for Microsoft as a photo editor. Her daughter, Margaret, was married in Mexico last November. She was joined by 45 family members. We all spent 6 days of fun in the sun. She and her husband, Judd, are having a baby boy late August (2009).
    Kaydee has a brother, Dan and two sisters, Kennie and Mary Kay. Her mom, Carrie, lives in Shelton. Kaydee's family also includes Guinness (Junkyard cat), Cleopatra (ugly kitty) and Nellie (who is on a visitor’s visa).
    Kaydee's Thoughts on Teaching: "My goal is to send forth students that understand that they have a voice and through that voice they can make a positive difference!"
