Lot's of NEW'S

Tis the season for trying something "New"
#1. John has a new talent - pool dancing. John and Matt had Steph and I in stitches as they elequently danced to the music as it played at the pool. They were amazing! Look out Ballet West.
#2. Matt has a new sport - Baseball, yup we've turned in our soccer cleats (temporarily) for baseball cleats. Matt has done exceptionally well with this new sport. The first time at the batting cages he hit 85% of the balls. The team hasn't done too well but I think Matt had fun.
#3. Annalise wouldn't touch Micah to pose for this picture at Micah's baptism - I do believe that boys now do have coodies.
#4. Mark did graduate from Seminary without having to make up any tardies! That is his mother with his arm around her - smiling! This is a great group of kids.

I tried to put the words by the picture and I couldn't. So you'll just have to figure out which picture goes with the word.

Hello. Just incase anyone missed me

Well I figured I'd update ya'll on what I've been doing! I would have done it earlier but I've just been in the water so much I hardly have time to do anything else! We've been teaching about 2 lessons a day with new investigators and less active families and such. Um, we recently ran into Ron and Mari Dunn (Albert and Tony's brother and sister-in-law) they have 2 kids that can be baptized and Mari (I think thats her name?) hasn't been baptized either. So with that family we are working on getting the kids in the water then I think that the rest of it will fall into place as far as getting Mari and then getting Ron to come back to church.

We are also working with a few people up in Romeo....yes there are good people there. We are teaching Manuelito and his girlfriend that he's living with and has two cute little kids. They are a really good family he's a stud just a real nice kid and awesome with the kids. It's really hard to teach them because the kids are always running around and making a whole bunch of noise and all. Plus every time we are over their the sister-in-law is over and she is SUPER crazy! As we were trying to teach them she starts yelling and going crazy. But it was cool when we did the first vision with them the whole house got quite and calm so we were able to feel the Spirit of at least a few minutes. The cool thing was the psycho lady was the only one that accepted to go to church and like her whole countenance changed from when we first started.

I went on team ups with the La Jara elders yesterday and we were out tracting with me and the D.L. and a greenie who has been out....2 weeks...uh yeah you can tell... but anyway while we were tracting in a trailer park we ran into a lady that invited us in and we did the first lesson, and I did the first vision for the second time whoot whoot. Anyway she accepted to be baptized on the 27th of this month and to read about the Book of Mormon. So that was pretty cool I guess. Ha Lemme know how ya'll are doing! Txt me on weekends and write letters! Love ya

Mommy bounces back...sorta

On Taylee's 4 week birthday I thought we'd celebrate it by going skating! I had been off the ice for about 5 months - which is by far the longest I've ever been off the ice in the past 12 years-SO CRAZY to think about! Anyway, it was quite the experience! Taylee stayed in the stroller while I tried to remember how to do swizzles. :) I knew that it was going to be different - but not THIS different. I have no muscles. I had them. Now they're gone. My quads were jello and my stomach even worse! But either way- it felt SOOOOOO good to get back on the ice - SOOOO good. So I guess I'm going to try to bounce back into the skating world - gently. And maybe when taylee can crawl she can start skating WITH her mom! :)
