Devin's e mail

The next day was Monday and we received a letter from Devin. ( So glad, most of the phillippines have no power). in his area they received the heavy rain and the wind, no destruction. Devin sent some pictures of him standing out in the middle of the typhoon with his arms out and one of a tree blowing. He said the pictures look worse than it really was, but I don't think trees lie. Ha ha Devin and his companion made 72hour kits for the people before the storm came and they helped them evacuate to safer places. My heart goes out to all of the people in the philippines that have lost families and have no where to go. we are praying for them everyday.

Hurricane yolanda

Devin has been in the Philippines now for about a month. since he has been there they have had a 7.2 earth quake and a Super Typhoon. It was listed as a category 5, the largest typhoon ever recoded in history. We didn't hear from him for a few days so we didn't know how bad his area was. On Sunday I checked the e mail and the welfare missionaries wrote us saying that he was okay and they sent us pictures of devin with the other missionaries that share his apartment. Tears welled up in my eyes knowing that our prayers had been answered. I couldn't wait to get to church to tell cal!!

The Train

We had the train at our house so we gave the grandchildren a ride.  Also Jeff and Kathie Marsh, and Darryl and Linda Macbeth's grandchildren came over and had some rides.  It was a lot of fun spending a Sunday with family and friends.

Devin's Farewell

Devin's farewell went really well.  He did a great job on his talk.  The after church we came home and had dinner for everyone.  Family and friends whoever wanted food.  I didn't realize he had so many friends!  That was exciting to see.  Here's a few pics of the food party.

Pictures at Temple

Addie had been wanting to go to the Temple, so we took her and Paityn to the Jordan River Temple and took their pictures.  Addie thought she got to go inside the Temple so she was a little sad.  It was a lot of fun watching them.

Devin's Endownments

On Sat. August 3,2013 we went to the Jordan River Temple with Devin to get his endowments taken out.  It was such a peaceful feeling.  The spirit was strong.  When the family all was in the celestial room greeting Devin, I thought to myself I hope this is what heaven is like, that all of my family will be standing together again like we are now. Happy times!!

Kolten's Baby Blessing

Kolten had his baby blessing on Sunday August 4, 2013.  He is two months old now.  He is so cute. He is trying to talk and he acts like he knows what you are saying.  He looked so handsome in his white blessing outfit.  It is so exciting to know that he just came from Heaven.

Feeding Paityn

I was feeding Paityn and she has decided that she is old enough to feed herself.  So I took a picture of how clean her face is while she is eating.

Paityn and Paisley

Paityn and Paisley are almost one.  I was tending them and I thought this might be the last picture I get before their bottles are taken away.  They are both walking and getting into everything.  ha ha

Kolten 2 months

I can't believe that Kolten is already two months old.  He is smiling and trying to talk.  It is so cute to watch him look around at everything.  He always gives you funny looks, and then smiles.  He is such a good baby.

Paityn Cooking?

Paityn loves to help out in the kitchen.  Here are some pictures of here making something.
