Kingston

I haven't put up pictures of Kingston in a little bit. He drew a smile face all by himself. He's a smart kid. Did I mention that he's not even 2 yet?

I tried to download more pictures of Kingston but for some reason blogspot won't let me. Erg.

But anyway, we are heading to California in a few weeks to see him. I can't wait!!!

Yeah!! I figured it out. It wasn't blogspot.....it was me. Very cute pictures and I didn't want to leave any of them out. :)

Nathan's email

Hey Pops.

Well thanks for the 2 letter this week!! its was great.. that's cool that you'll be going to Poland soon... you'll be there for the summer equinox... or around that time.. I'm not sure exactly when it is.. but that could be fun. I'm not sure how high up it is there but I'm sure its height than Utah.. so you could get a good amount of sun while your there.

So hows Pincone coming? Is the name going to be pinecone or is it something different? that's really cool I'm excited about that. Do you know about when it will be published? Oh and I told an american lady in my ward about it and she want s to read it.. so I got you a sell. haha..

Well things here are good. Finnish is going good but I'm in a time where I don't feel like I'm doing too good.. I think with learning a language you go through ups and downs... where you feel like your learning a lot and then when your just going really slow.. and right now it fells really slow... so that's kinda tough.. but I'm sure it'll pick up soon... Just takes diligence and effort..

Well I guess that's everything. I love and miss you!!! Take care!!1

Mommers..... Mommers... Mommers... What am I going to do with you... Well I guess I don't need the Molskine yet cuz I've still got like 10-15 pages left so I'll be good for a little bit. But thanks for all the stuff... also... do you think you could send something that'll kill warts.. I've got a MONSTER one on my toe and its been there forever and I want it gone.. so if you could do that too that would be great. So things here are going good... Our African guy dropped his date cuz he wont read or pray or come to church and has a problem with prophets... so he doesn't have a date anymore but he's still investigating.. so that's good... but yeah he's really hard to teach cuz he'll ask a question like.. How can I know if this guy is really the prophet.. and we explain reading and praying and coming to church and everything... then 5 minutes later he asks the same question.. its pretty tough... but yeah.. other than that things here are going grand... We had district meet this week and that was quite grand I enjoyed ti.. and we'll be going to Tampere for a zone conference Wednesday for President Browns last meeting with us.. so that's kinda sad... but not much to do about that.. but I hope you have a good day.. I'll try to send pics soon.. I just forget to bring my cord to the library... but soooon.. I Love and miss you!!! Take care!!!

Darrell, Dyann and Asher

Darrell and Dyann came by this afternoon on there way back from St.George. They haven't seen Asher yet so Christopher, Lesa and the kids came by too. I got some fun pictures of them with Asher. Asher was full of smiles!!!

This is one of my favorite pictures of Dyann with Asher......smiling at each other. It was so fun to get together and visit. We need to do this more often!

Orem Summerfest

Here are some pics. from the dance performance this morning. All the girls did a great job and it was so fun watching!!! The recital next weekend is going to be great!!


And it was so awesome that Christopher, Lesa and the kids came to support Emily!! I know it meant a lot to her. Thanks you!!!

Hip hop Cat

Here is one of Emily's costumes for their ballet performance of "A Seussical Life". She's a cat and they have 2 hip hop performances in this costume. She didn't get to bring the other costumes home cuz they are performing this Saturday at the Orem Fest. Next weekend will be the performance at the Regan Theater at UVU. Emily has 4 costumes and 9 dances she'll be in. I can't wait to see it! It will be great!!!

Busy as the bees

This summer has really taken off. As soon as the plane landed in Salt Lake I have been going, going, going. It's not just me being busy but when the kids are busy it makes me busier. Jaron has been working tons. If he's not making sandwiches he's doing yard work with a friend. So he's bringing in the money for school. He's a really hard worker!!! And a good saver!! Also Emily's dance is really busy. She dances 3-5 hours a day getting ready for her recital next weekend. She's also performing this saturday at the Orem Fest. We go through ballet shoes and pointe shoes like you can't believe. But she's worth it. She's a beautiful dancer!! I've been doing tons of yard work. Yesterday I fixed our sprinkler system.....except for one sprinkler head which I will do soon. Plus pulling out weeds, grass and planting. When I do lots of yard work the house goes kaput! Oh well, there's only so much summer so enjoy it......right?

Coupons

For the month of May, I saved $100.10 in coupons. Wahoo....made it to the $100 mark but I had some really great coupons for $3 off of things. Plus some months we run out of things more than others so I have to buy more stuff. Another thing I did last month was the double coupons on Tuesdays at Walmart. I got some brownie mixes, condiments and canned foods for pretty cheap that way. Steve even got into the coupon-thing while I was in Oregon. He was out of diet coke (I know....shocking) and he went to a store that had them on sale at an incredible price and then he had a coupon for another dollar off if he bought two. So he had to call me and let me know the great deal he got. I've also noticed that food, and everything, is really going up in price so the more I save the better!!
