Aaron comes home

So how many missionaries can say they helped paint their welcome home sign? Well that is what you get when you come home a day early and only tell your sister Natalie!

It took all of us to get the sign out and to lift it up. I said I would be in charge of the sign. I was told we didn't want to hang it on the garage because the last time we did that the paint came off. So I decided to make it plenty long so we could hang it across the garage. I guess 12 yards was more than enough! Maybe next time I will just go the full length of the house!



After helping re-finish the roof this summer Ryan had no hesitation to help hang up the sign on the roof.

Kids say the silliest things!

The other morning Ali is saying the morning prayer. During her prayer she asked that her name be changed to ...and Emi's name be ... we couldn't understand what she said. So after the prayer we asked. Ali what do you want your name to be? "I want my name to be Right" said Ali. And what do you want Emi's name to be? "I want Emi's name to be wrong. So I can always be right and she will always be wrong."

How cute is that!

Growing up

So this last week I wanted to take pictures of some of the things the kids are doing. Bridger is scaring me! He is the most mobile child I have had. He has already fallen off my bed twice! He rolls and moves all over. The scary thing is he is getting up on his hands and knees like he wants to crawl! I predict that by the end of Feb. he will be crawling!


He also is my one kid that likes the baby oatmeal. He is not too fond of rice cereal but likes the oatmeal. Right now he eats oatmeal and peaches.

Ali is our artist. She is always drawing family pictures. She keeps telling us that there is one more baby brother so one day we will see. Hopefully later than sooner.

Emi loves to pretend. One of her favorites are tea parties. Are struggle there is trying to get her to pretend without using water! But at least it is only water.
