Happy Thanksgiving!

Brian really wanted a "Thanksgiving" dinner before he left, so he got one! We don't really think they celebrate Thanksgiving in Brazil :) One by one we are checking off dinners, activities, and preparations. Tomorrow is another big day.

43 pounds and counting ...

How in the world do you fit what you need for two years in one bag this size? This is about the size I would need for a week-end get-away. He is almost packed. Brian wants to buy a new pair of basketball shoes to take for P-day. He is allowed to bring two pair of basketball shorts so he is pretty excited thinking that means they can at least do some sort of physical activity (besides walking)
A few snacks for the 24 hour plane ride. Bob and I don't think he will sleep much with all that sugar!

Don't Ask Me

I have no idea why in my last post my pictures were first and my intro is last. I'm getting worse instead of better. I am going to tell myself that when Brian is on his mission, Kyle is settled in at BYU-I, and Katie has started school and the Fair is over I will have so much extra time. I will be able to spend more time doing things I would like to do but have not had time to do: like figuring out this blogging thing beyond the basics! Yeah, right!

I've been a dud!

Don't ask me why: I had a crazy idea that I could re-do Katies room in a day. I mean they can build a house in a week, so why not a room in a day? We painted it white, Bob took two old dressers and sanded and re-painted them black. Got some new bedding, curtains, and wall accessiories. Looks pretty cute! I will post a completed project soon.

Everyones seen the temple picture, but I wouldn't seem right for me not to post one as well. It was a very nice day, long but nice. I guess the missionaries get to go to the temple once a week while in the CTM (that's what they call it at the Sao Paulo MTC, it stand for Center for Training Missinaries).
A happy day for Kyle! He got his braces off today, 8/28/08. We had a fun day in Wentachee. Got his car tuned up cleaned, went to Costco, out to lunch, a little shopping, and of course most important: appointment with the orthodontist.
I have been a real dud at blogging the last couple weeks, obviously! I can come up with all kinds of excuses but I'll spare you! Here's a few pictures:

If Your Looking For A Good Time On A Friday Night...

then you don't want to come to our house!Bob's asleep on the couch before 9:30 while I'm busy
cleaning the bathroom,
doing laundry,

and lots of other exciting things.

The bad thing is, Saturday night

won't be a whole lot different.

I hope your weekend was more exciting!
