Time Well Spent

Well, the first Sunday we moved into our ward, I was asked to serve in the Young Women's organization at church. I've stayed with them for the last 4+ years. Andy has worked with the Young Men for the last 3 years, in some capacity or another. Yes, it takes a lot of time...but the rewards are so great! We love when they come back to visit us...after college, before missions, on the way home from work...doesn't matter! Tonight we got to do a little fire with 3 of our favs. :) We set up the little picnic table for the kids (notice Emily's new haircut - courtesy of Annie who wanted to see her eyes.

Our smiley JJ, Sarah, and Karyn (sidenote...I babysat for Sarah a time or two when she was a toddler)

Emily LOVED sitting in her chair next to JJ and munching on her s'more!

Ben chose Karyn to read him stories before bedtime. What a sweetheart!!!

Sarah and JJ played frisbee and cleaned up the chairs while we did baths and bedtime. Thanks guys for playing with us! We love you all!!!

COME ON!!!! With all this fun, wouldn't you want to buy our house???? We are now over 45 showings and 0 offers...patience is a virtue!!!

Annie said the funniest thing in the car this afternoon. In a Little Bear video we got from the library, he says he has a sweet tooth. I explained what that meant. A day later, Annie says she has a mouth full of sweet teeth...

SOMETHING WE LEARNED: Sarah brought two packs of starbursts to roast on the fire - like marshmallows. They were SOOOOO YUMMY!!! Definitely have to do that again! They get kind of crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside!
