Allie

I asked Allie to fold her clean laundry and then I went downstair. A few minutes later she yelled down to me if she could organize her drawers. So I said sure. After a while I noticed it had been really quiet so I went up and this is what I found. You can see that all she got down was folding one pair of tights on her bed!

Niagara Falls

Here are our pictures from Niagara Falls. Thanks to our friends we were able to use our passports and spent 2 nights on the Canadian side of the falls. Our hotel rooms looked right out on the falls.


It was so cold that we had to stop in this gift shop just to get warm. So we took our picture with the large moose and bought a postcard for Scott. (which I haven't mailed yet)

Palmyra

This past weekend we took a quick trip with some friends to visit Palmyra before we leave the East Coast.

Favorites

These are our 2 most favorite missionaries! Over the last 6 months we have become great friends. Jace prefers to go to Elder Fifita over me. Last week Elder Fifita was transferred after spending 6 months here are we are incredibly sad. We had a farewell dinner on Thursday and the girls picked out some snacks to give him as his departing gift.





Here is Jace wearing Elder Tusi's stylish hat. We are all pretty jealous of Elder Tusi's style and hope that someday we can achieve his same level of fashion expertise.

The basement

It's been done for a week. And I am so happy. Since we don't have furniture to put down there the kids just run around like crazy enjoying the nice big open space.

Snow

Here are some pictures from the aftermath. They don't seem to do it justice. These were at 7 am the next morning. As I type this there is more snow falling...





My homeboy Jace

We were having fun the other day with photo booth. Then he started throwing out the gang signs..
