Precious Moments

Its crazy to realize how many years have passed since all of us have been together.  Between living in 4 different states and 2 grandparent missions it has been impossible for everyone to be in the same place for the past 7 years.

We had a marathon of fun and family time the past few days.  We started it all with Kangaroo zoo followed by a movie at the theater.


With 16 kids running around it kept everyone busy.  My boys were a huge help! (who would have thought the day would come that they would be the best helpers under these circumstances?)

Max stayed with us for a couple of nights.  He is such a sweet and loving little boy.   The best story about Max  that David shared is that Max wanted to wear a tie for school pictures.  David thought that was ridiculous so Max snuck the tie to school and put on his clip on tie just in time for pictures.  He couldn't hide his disobedience once pictures were printed.  How did David get a boy that disobeyed by wearing a tie to school?

 Max loved being in a house with kids.  There was always someone ready to play and have fun.  He hated when it was time to leave with his parents.  Hopefully we can get him back again soon.

This was Max's and Ilas to do list one morning when he was here:

Max got to eat home made scones for the first time.  He gave them a thumbs up.
