Grandkids at Movieworld

Jaime took Tara & the her kids to movieworld for the day. The bumper cars were fun, and Freyr loved the super heroes...no fear that boy!

Elder Joshua Bennison

Alvan and I were blessed to go to Melbourne the weekend of May 23-25. It was a wonderful time, we stayed with Karen's sister Kerrie and her family. And went to the temple with Elder Joshua Bennison and his Mum, one of Karen's other sisters Liz (for their first time). It was so joyous in the Celestial room.

Our neighbourhood friends

Just a few pictures taken from our yard in the last month. The kookaburras are on our side fence and the next door neighbours side fence. And the Kangaroo is in our front yard, and the girls from next door came out to feed him some bread, so he went to house too!

69 Days to go!!

Yes that's how many days to go, till our baby returns home from her year in the States. Not that I'm counting or anything!! She has been so blessed to have this amazing opportunity. And her time has been jam packed full of special experiences I know she will cherish for the rest of her life. Some of the best of them are still yet to be. Whitney will be going to EFY a couple of weeks before she comes home...so chances are she won't need the plane, she'll just be able to float home! Words will never express enough how truly grateful we are to the Olson family for taking her in and loving her like their own. Whitney sent us some photos the other day, from her time so far. So time to share with everyone:
