Beat cream cheese with ½ c milk. Add pudding and remaining milk and beat well. Stir in cool whip. Stir in fruit and marshmallows. Chill and serve.
(Note: I don’t use bananas if I think there will be leftovers. They don’t save well.)

1 head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized pieces
4 stalks broccoli, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 red onion, chopped (little pieces)
1 lb. bacon, cooked and crumbled

(over)Combine cauliflower, broccoli, chopped onion, crumbled bacon, and sunflower seeds. Just before serving, pour dressing over vegetables. Add cheese last. (Makes a huge salad--serves 12-15--so if you want, cut the recipe in half. Also, this is the recipe the way I received it. I don’t like that much dressing on it, so I use about half of the dressing recipe.)

But went to three different High Schools, and ended up graduating from the one she started at. When she was a teenager her mother died of breast cancer, this was a very sad time in her life! Kimi is very active and supportive of fighting breast cancer and its awareness programs. This summer Kimi and her sister Karen (who she loves and adores so much, and is just one year older than her) are doing a "Century Bike Ride" together, with other woman, in the fight against Breast cancer.
Kimi graduated from BYU with a bachelors degree in Nursing. While working at LDS hospital in Salt Lake City she met her wonderful husband Kelly, who was also working there. They have been married 8 years. From Salt Lake they moved to Cedar City, then four years ago they moved to Salem. They love it here!! They have three beautiful children.

Kimi is also the secretary in the Young Womans program in our ward, she is so fun to work with and the girls all love her to death! Her favorite hobbies are cycling (actually she said it's all I have time for besides family, work and church right now) She is a very talented lady and fun to be with, we all enjoyed her teaching us some cool moves at Relief Society the other night at Donna Schwarts home. (sorry I forgot the name of it)
Kimi's greatest joys are her cute, cute babies!Some of her fun experiences are: She has been sky diving twice, has done a couple Triathlons, and had her first baby at home.
