04/24/11 Day off!

4/24/11 Hi AJ! We are going to put the questions in my email this week and Dad's going to help me think of them. #1:  Did the Easter Bunny come and visit? #2:  Do they have jelly beans and malted milk and marshmellow eggs and stuff like that there? #3: Have you had any allergies in the Phillipines?  Do you get stuffy nose or itchy eyes or anything? #4: Do you have any great dinner appointments that are good food and fun or is the food still stuff that you aren't used to yet? #5: Does your companion do anything that annoys you other than making rice all the time? (Don't worry, we won't post the answer) #6: Do you guys do splits with ward members or is that frowned upon now-a-days? #7: Your mission mama has a picture of a kid drinking soda with a straw out of a plastic bag. Do you see that alot there? She said it was cheaper than buying a cup so lots of kids did it. #8: Guess you aren't aware of gas prices too much but gas is up to almost $4 pe...

04/17/11 Morning side

4/17/11 So another week has flown by.  For you too?  One of the speakers today said time flies when you are having fun...so I must be having the time of my life.  Is that how you feel?  It made me think about right after we had each of our babies.  The weeks prior to the birth seemed to take FOREVER and then the baby would arrive and MONTHS would fly by at record speed.  It seems like time just won't quit speeding up for me, so I must be pretty happy, huh!?  I really am.  Are you too? I had to teach today in YW.  The lesson was on Priesthood in the family.  We had a decent turn out.  4 girls.  Course one of them is a "summer only" girl who I've never met before...so, whatever.  She was really nice and sweet but said she was going to Washington DC this summer and wouldn't be our summer girl this year.  Too bad.  I liked her. Anyway I talked about how when I was young I didn't have the priesthood in my ho...

04/09/11 Easter!

4/9/11 Tomorrow is shaping up to be another busy day so I wanted to hurry and write before time gets away from me! We are celebrating Easter tomorrow with the family because Grandma and pa will be on an elderhostel over Easter.  We were going to go the their house but the weather has been miserable and they are under snow.  We got lots of rain but they figure by tomorrow afternoon we should have sunshine and be at least semi-nice.  Maybe 60-65 degrees. So we spent today doing lots of fun stuff to get ready for everybody.  We made these cute little peeps in a nest...it is peeps on top of chocolate covered pretzels (nest shaped) with jelly bean eggs around it.  We also made "bunny buns"...sweet bread shaped in bunny pattern.  They will be drizzled with powder sugar. The boys helped spruce up the yard and we went and got 10 bags of wood chips and put them all over to cover the parts that had gotten bare.  We pulled up lots of weeds and s...
