I wasn't gonna do it....but how could I resist this face? This is Jack's Replacement. Her name is kato. Kona isn't too thrilled about the new face. She spends all day showing kato who's boss. Two females in the same yard...bad news.

Suzy..this one's for you

So this is how my kids looked on the first day of school. They were thrilled at my attempt to capture this historic occasion. Tanner is a Junior, McKay a freshman, and Marinn in 7th grade. Enough Said!!!

This is what my kids looked like when I wanted to take their picture of the first day of school. As you can see they weren't too excited at my attempt to capture this historic day. Tanner is a junior, McKay a freshman, and Marinn in 7th grade. Enough said!!!

Just a little update on Dallin.....he sounds really great. Said the language is coming and they are at the point where they have to speak Spanish all the time, no English allowed. He was made District Leader this week. A little interesting story. He said that when he got there, a whole bunch of kids came in going to the Guatemala mission. No one knew why so many guys were being called there at the same time. He said that a week or so ago, 70% of the southern guatemala mission were sent home because of "secret combinations" and elders not getting along. He said it just spread really quickly in the mission, so they packed them all up and sent them home. So now all these new missionaries are leaving this week to take their place.

I never thought I'd hear some of the things Dallin says about changing but it happened. He said it's like what he imagines rehab is like. Getting reminded every day that you need to change and why. He loves going to the temple....who knew??

This is Dallin and his Companion, Elder Jacobson, from Alpine. Dallin told Elyse in his letter to her that he was a typical "mormon boy". What that means to him is that the kid has only kissed two girls and accidently said the "S" word in fifth grade. He is very sick of studying all day but says the language is going well. He has ran into a few guys that he knows from Cedar so that was fun he said. He's not much of a talker so that's about all. My letter was much less info. So I will have to read Elyse's letters from now on to get the real scoop.
