Highlights from last week...

Said goodbye to Elder Gottwald, he got transferred...boohoo. We love the missionaries and I could do a whole post on that...I always feed them chicken enchiladas with stinky cheese, and chocolate chip cookies for dessert. I'm really not that great of a cook. In fact I hate to cook. So it is truly out of love of the missionaries that I feed them. Elder Gottwald was quite the picky eater and he told me that his moms chicken enchiladas were his favorite....well he said that mine were better than moms! Yeah you know it!....He probably says that to all the sisters that make him enchiladas....anyway he tried one bite with stinky cheese (after a lot of prodding) and decided that would be his last bite of stinky cheese...ever.

Went to Young Women's on Tuesday night. We took pictures for part of our activity so I thought I would post what my girlie's look like...we were missing a couple of them...they are so awesome, I love them.

Edee had "crazy week" at pre-school, this is what my crazy kid looked like.....

Said goodbye to Ilene, over strawberry shortcake, mint brownies and good conversation...

Watched Lost...yay it's back on! We are so exited! Can you believe they killed Ben's daughter?!.....And Ben can control the smoke monster?....WHAT!!!!! Things are getting juicy!....

Aric had a camp out with the scouts and froze his tail off. While Aric was making tin foil dinners and getting smoked out... Maya, Edee and I had ladies night. We went to the mall of course! They finally earned enough money to get some more clothes/shoes for their build a bears.(No pictures of this...but Eden got a fancy white/silver tank top and some silver "heel highs" for her dog, Sara, and Maya got a very conservative outfit and some slippers for Bananas the monkey)

Maya had a game, no goals but had a couple assists and played some awesome defense.

Eden performed at "Dance Fest", it's a dance festival held at the local college...it's an all day event that has dances performed at all different levels and styles. We were a little spooked by the ballet group that wore scary white masks and danced to Enter Sandman by Metallica...yes Metallica. Not your typical ballet performance. Eden's group danced to a rockin out version of the "Itsy Bitsy Spider". Nothing scary about that...it was actually very cute. Aric wanted to leave as soon as Eden was done, but the girls really wanted to stay and watch some more performances, so he caved and we stayed for way longer than he ever wanted to. Here he is with the girls watching a very exciting performance....

It was a good week, only bad news was that our home visit that was scheduled for Monday, got postponed for a week and a half...grrrr. I'm definitely supposed to be learning some patience.
