Welcome Home Megan!

The mission quilt that was made for her by my bro and mom! She is explaining the pictures on it to us!
Megan before she opened the quilt! She got home yesterday mid after noon!

After eighteen months of serving the Lord Megan's mission must come to a close. Not to worry though I think she will keep on going with doing the work that the Lord has for her to do. She is now on to doing her best to find a man to marry!

I am still waiting for my dear mother to get me some more pictures but this was about all I took the entire trip. So if I get some more good ones then I will post a few more! All in all the trip was alot of fun though. We went to my parents cabin for a couple of days. Their cabin is close to salina. Its very pretty up there and their cabin is really nice. We played horse shoes, Aaron and I won! We had a scavenger hunt... I think Justin and Natalie won that one.. but hey you try treckin in up and down the mountain for clues with two small kids.... anyhow, the food was good and so was the company. All in all it was a fun trip! oh and Congrats to Justin and Natalie who are pregnant with their first baby!

Our trip to Parawon for a Maxican Friend!

Sorry there were a couple more but I couldn't get them on here, I think saved them wrong or something. Oh well... Anyhow, the trip was a lot of fun! Not much to do, we had a picnic lunch up the canyon and that was about it and came home. It was a quickie trip, but the kids had fun and so did we!

Charlotte comes to visit!

The girls are not sure what to do here... but the boys are posing as super heros!

All of us together at the park!

One of my very dear friends Charlotte came to visit. Currently they live across the country. But once apon a time we were roomies! We had a lot of fun times living in the Glenhood together! Its even more fun now with kids and oh the fun we let the kids have together. Needless to say I think that the picutes speak for the themselves!

Busy! Busy! Busy!

While Aaron was away in Africa I did pretty good at keeping things updated here... well when he got back that all flew out the window due to us being so busy!

Well, as you know Aaron was in Africa for a month while he was gone I under took many a project to keep busy, camps for the kids, gymnastics with Andrea, and well yes I under took painting at my house while the hubby was away. Here is my green wall I am very proud of it and I love it! Before it was all white, it was driving me nuts mostly because there are so many doors on the wall as well, so as you can see I spruced it up and Viola~ ! It's beautiful and adds so much more!

Princess Camp!

So again with the teaching I taught princess camp. Which was alot of fun! Caitlynn got to go this time instead of Ammon. Cait had so much fun being a princess I am still having a hard time trying to get her to wear anything but her princess dress. Lol! At camp we even invited a queen to come and teach the princess's about the way to decorate and get ready for a ball/party. It was alot of fun. I will have to post more pics from it when I get them back in a week or so. But here is one that I took at the camp!

Super Hero Camp

At my sister in laws gym this summer we offered a # of camps to kids. One of them included training super hero's. Well you all know how Ammon most of the time thinks that he is spiderman, so since I had to be there to help coach Ammon came along and I am proud to say graduated at the top of his class. Those of you who are in need of a super hero you now know who to call!

I Know I know!

So I have been sooo super busy lately that I feel like I am lagging so far behind here. Aaron spent the last month in Africa, in an area called Nambibia. He was there for school, nothing major this time around. While he was there he toured around, helped the african people learn how to digitalize their important stuff, helped with a documentary, and had a good time. Poor guy got in so late on friday night that I don't think he is quite caught up yet with our time zone.
So while he was gone I had alot to do as you can imagine! I had both kids and kept working, not only that but my sister in law Andrea has officially opened her new gym for gymnastics. It has kept me sooooo busy that now with Aaron here and gym stuff being done I am not really sure what to do with myself. I have been teaching super hero camp, princess camp, taking the kids to swimming lessons, Ammon did go to pirate camp but I didn't end up having to teach that one! whew! I have also been coaching gymnastics two days a week. It's been really good for me and the kids.. the best part being I am getting back into shape.. It's about time! Having Aaron gone was challenging but we learned alot and I can not even complain, even when I took the kid's to the Ellibee fam reunion they were pretty much angel's. We had one really really really bad day while he was away but other than that it was pretty much filled with good times! I even painted an accent wall in my kitchen... pics to be posted later on..
Anyhow, I have so many pics to edit and so little time.. I promise to get around to it soon though. Now that I should have a little more time to myself.
Either way our family is doing really well and getting along little by little.
For those of you wondering if you should put your little kids in the gymnastics program the answer is YES! It's alot of fun for the kids. If you want more info on go to jumpupgym.com . We are hoping all is well with everyone!

A little Taste of Africa!

So we all know that Aaron is in Africa right now and loving it.. ok well he misses us. I thought I would put some pics on here that he FINALLY sent me.. Anyhow hope you all enjoy!

Hair cut Day!

So Ammon has been asking me to cut his hair for a couple of days telling me that his hair makes him hot! So today I decided to cut the poor kids hair as its going to get really hot here soon. While doing his hair Cait kept telling me that she needed a haircut to and that her hair made her hot too... I told her that we could do a trim if she was good while I did Ammon's hair... so she sat in the waiting chair patiently till I was done with Ammon; and then announced " MY TURN!" so what's a mommy to do? Well I gave her a trim of course! It was her very first haircut!
