Matthew- the last of the little guys!

We had the pleasure of listening to Matthew, or should I say Elder Kolar, and my mom speak this Sunday. Matthew has been preparing to go on a mission all of his life. I remember him taking missionary prep classes since he was 12 years old. Watch out San Juan, Puerto Rico Elder Kolar is coming!

Corn Festival

My mom, Sarah and I traveled up to Enterprise last weekend to the corn festival.

Highlights:
*Corn (of course)
*Excellent Polynesian food
*Baby turkeys and chickens for sell- they stayed in Enterprise regardless of Rylee's pleads "please I hold them mom"
*Belly dancers balancing really large swords on their heads (umm..where do I start)
*Watching Rylee go down the slide!

On Friday my mom went back to Enterprise to pick up her corn order, 14 dozen that is! Next was a lot of dehusking, washing, cutting, boiling, straining, bagging, and finally freezing. I admit we took a brake to catch a Kodak moment with the girls. Hannah was our official Corn Queen. Later she was hypnotized to sleep by watching my mom cut the corn off the cob. Rylee enjoyed eating the raw corn. All in all we enjoyed the labor of fresh corn.

8 Years down, eternity to go!

Scott and I celebrated our 8 year wedding anniversary on Aug 19th. Time goes by fast! We had a blast in Las Vegas-- (NY,NY roller coaster, Phantom tickets & pedicures!) It was our first overnighter away from the girls; we survived!

Washington County Fair

The Washington County Fair was Aug 6th - 9th. We decided to take Rylee out on a date night. Grandma Carol was more than happy to watch Hannah for the evening. Rylee enjoyed the petting zoo (especially brushing the goats hair--not sure if the goat liked it much), rides and just hanging out with mom and dad.



Rylee was pretty determined to feed this chicken a rock.

Name and a blessing

Hannah was given a name and a blessing, Sunday Aug 3rd, by her great grandpa Samson.

Now introducing...

Rylee is 21 months old. Although she hasn't officially reached the 2 year mark, she is a hand full. She spends most of her time talking (I spend most of my time translating), playing (including climbing, which I've been told is a childhood trait of mine) and getting into everything. Rylee loves her "little sister". Especially piling toys around her. At least she's sharing?


Hannah is almost 8 weeks old. Besides eating, she has started smiling and is quite the social butterfly.
