My Three Kiddos

My friend, Amber took these darling pictures of the kids.  This one totally captures the three of their personalities perfectly!

St. Patrick's Day 2013

St. Patrick's Day was on a Sunday this year, so the leprechaun put up the magical rainbow arch at the school on Friday instead.

Dani had one at her house too.  London was trying to get Ethan to walk under it...

but he was a little freaked out and decided just to sit this one out.

 

Sunday morning, Lucky the Leprechaun paid a visit to our house. 

 

He took the girls on a crazy scavenger hunt all around the house looking for clues.

Their final prize was in our bathtub!

Then it was onto a breakfast of rainbow fruit, Lucky Charms, and green milk.

Lunch was also a green fest...green wraps, avocado chips, mint oreos, and sprite.

Then we made Ethan clean everything up.

President & Sister Eberhardt

No better time to start blogging again than with the present and move backwards.

 

These are my in-laws, John & Sandi.  They turned their mission papers in at the beginning of January requesting a CES mission in Denmark.  They had received a phone call from the senior missionary department asking them if they would be willing to learn Danish.  So, we kind of figured it was a done deal and we were anxiously awaiting the big white envelope with the call. 

 

Then...they got a phone call from Elder Oak's office.  After an interview with him, they got a call to meet with President Uchtdorf.  They were told they wouldn't be going to Denmark at all, but that John would be called as a mission president to the newly-formed Salt Lake City East Mission. 

 

This is one of only a few pilot programs they are trying out where they call the mission president from his own area to serve...a way to increase the number of missions without necessarily having to take on the great expense of a mission home, etc. 

 

We are so excited for them and know they will be absolutely amazing!  With over 50 stakes and 230 missionaries in their mission, we know we won't be able to see them too often, but I'm excited for my kids to learn about service and missionary work firsthand from their example. 

 

When London saw this picture she said, "Oh look!  They are trying to get married."  LOL. 

Engagement picture...Mission President picture...guess it's all the same. 



Off-Track Fun at The Aquarium

Cougs in Concert

Liz and I took our big girls to see the Cougarettes in Concert

There's a lot of blond bangs going on in this picture. 

Good ol' Jodi.  She's been there for almost 25 years! 

 

The girls were cute and asked some of the Cougarettes for their autographs after the show was over.

 

A fun night was had by all!

Reader's Theatre

Addy got chosen as one of the best readers in her class to do "Reader's Theatre." 

She did a great job!

This was also when I realized that Ethan was sporting a mullet!
