Birthdays and Missions


 So Isaac had a How to Train Your Dragon birthday party this week.

 The children had to defeat the alpha dragon.
 He had a Toothless cookie and cream cake. I thought it looked pretty good.

 After the party Michael, Zach, Kaitlin, and I went up to Erin and David's house in Lehi, so that Kaitlin could open up her mission call. She was really eager to open it. She kept trying to peak in the clear window that had her name. But she couldn't see anything.
 Waiting on the car ride up to Lehi.

So the video that's suppose to be here is not working well for me.  But She's going to JACKSON MISSISSIPPI!

 Opening the call.

August Happenings

Chas and Kylee stopped by on their way to teach in China for the semester. While they were here, we made a visit to the aquarium.
This is a picture of Michael and I watching the feeding of the penguins
 We also tried to play a lot of games while they were here. Here's a cute picture of a niece.

Awhile back we found an old film camera of Michael's. We've slowly have been taking pictures with it. One weekend my Mom and Dad, James' family, and Michael and I went to Mt. Pleasant to the Wilde Cabin down there, were we watched movies, ate food, played some games, and visited family graves. I tried out my new dutch oven. We took most of the pictures with the old camera. We are still not done with the roll (we're on picture 23). But I snatched one of this view with my phone.
 While at the cabin I made a goal of finishing knitting this blanket and reading a book. I met both my goals. (Side note this blanket only took me 2 years.)

 I babysat these little wretched rats. We had a lot of fun.
 Who knew that sharpening pencils could be so much fun.


Michael and I went to the West Ball that James and Charity put on. I didn't take any pictures because it's hard to take pictures while your having fun dancing. But here's a video of some of the more experienced dancers showing how to do the dance.


My mom and dad bought a house here in Utah, so we'll get them half the year! We had Sunday dinner there.
