Friends

Here is a picture of Katrina and some of her friends, they love getting together and during the summer we are getting together once a week to watch a movie. Our friends have a projector so we all bring pillows blankets and chairs and watch a movie outside. It is a lot of fun and we enjoy the cool nights and the friendships we are able to foster with everyone.

Getting into the cupcakes

Amanda has figured out the stool and uses it to her advantage all the time now. In this picture we had made and decorated cupcakes for an afternoon activity and we still had a couple left that we were going to decorate for our afternoon treat the next day. After feeding, and putting the baby down I came into the kitchen to find this munchkin up on the counter enjoying herself as she ate a few bites out of each of the remaining cupcakes. Maybe I should have got upset but it was so cute that I just grabbed the camera instead and took a picture of my adorable daughter. I guess that we had just had so much fun that she didn't want it to end......right =)

Quick update

I always say quick and it ends up longer but here goes anyway! The last couple weeks have been very busy...Steve finished school on the 9th and for the first time since he began teaching is taking the entire summer off and the girls and I are very excited to spend so much time together. That night (the 9th) we went over to the church for a final practice before the ward luau on Saturday. I was preforming the Maori poi ball dance with some of the sisters in the ward while we were there the men talked Steve into learning the 3 men's dances to preform with them the next day. He learned the Hakka, Slap and Fijian dances that night and preformed all 3 the next day. For only one practice he did an amazing job. The next day we were busy getting things ready and we had a ball with a couple of pigs and all the trimmings for the evening. I love that we have so many Polynesian individuals in our ward and that we get along so well. Monday and Tuesday Steve finished up some loose ends at the school and then it was all about having fun together. We have loved playing in the back yard and watching the girls run all over yelling mommy daddy watch this and look at me. We filled the pool in the back yard yesterday and hopefully in a day or two the water will be warm enough to swim. I will try to get a picture or two in in the next day or so. Until then we love you all.

We got a new Bishop

Sunday Steve came home from his morning meetings to help me get the last minute things done so we could make it to church on time and told me that the Bishop was getting released. Well you know what that means? Steve gets released too, and I was so excited because it was only 30 minutes before Sacrament meeting and we had not received a call from the Stake so that meant he would be able to sit by me again during the meetings =) well that wonderful feeling was short lived because as soon as we arrived they pulled Steve aside and asked him to serve with the new Bishop as the 1st counselor instead of the 2nd. Well at least I am safe for a while and can enjoy my calling in the primary. All in all it was a really good day. I love that my husband is worthy AND willing to serve when the Lord calls. I mean really who can't use the blessings that come when we do =)
