Snow Day

Wyatt wanted to go out last night and work on his snow fort. Logan wanted to go too and so we dressed him up to go out - his first time in the snow with a snow suit on. It was cold so he didn't stay out too long but he did enjoy it.

Cooking in the Kitchen

This feels different!

My girl Sierra loves to help me cook in the kitchen. It is alot of fun to do this together. We are making gluten from a recipe that my friend Amy gave me. I forgot to take a picture of the finished product because it was so yummy we just dove in and ate it.

Well, we are back from our mission trip and it is good to be home again. We had quite the experience down in Mexico and I am glad that we went. There were ups and downs as usual on a mission trip but overall I was glad that my family was able to participate. The people are very beautiful and very friendly. They were so appreciative of our help. The weather was very warm with evenings getting cool. We had a lot going on all the time - we built two churches, added an addition onto one of the schools, did several VBS's and also the health expo's at various places. Several people in our group did get sick but with God's help most everyone was well before we left. It was touching to see the baptisms where people gave their lives to the Lord. We also had a fun day where we got to see some neat ruins in Mexico. Then it was time to pack up and get ready to come home!
