Just hoppin' through....

Hey, Kelly, Kelly, Lindsey, and Christopher! Happy Easter. I hope you like your surprises I left for you. Miss Kelly, your gift from me is that I took a picture (since your camera was sitting on the kitchen table) and added this post to your blog (I know everything, like how to access it). I'm certain that Lindsey is going to love her new Tommy Hilfiger purse, since she showed it to you last week when the two of you were shopping, but it was too expensive (money's no object for me, the Easter Bunny). Christopher seems to be really moving around a lot lately on the track, the treadmill, and his bicycle, so I thought he might enjoy a new Razor scooter. Mr. Kelly, why don't you go ahead and buy that new camera lens for yourself, on me. I've got a lot more people to see....so I better make this quick. Oh, I grabbed a carrot on the way out. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

We decorated hard-boiled eggs today and I made egg salad sandwiches for lunch--I baked the bread too, using freshly ground red wheat from my food storage. Fun times! The kids are excited to have an Easter egg hunt. I like using real eggs for it.

What a cute post from the Easter Bunny! I love it! He was very good to y'all! And you gotta love that money is no object with the Easter Bunny...and Santa Claus! :) I even hear from a few of my friends that the Tooth Fairy is getting more generous. Especially when the dads are in charge of things that evening. ;)

I love it E.b. can you please stop by my house too.
Callisto said…
Ha! That was me that pointed out the Tooth Fairy was being more generous. I only got a quarter when I lost teeth, and here Brinley is, making a whopping dollar. It's criminal, I say.
The easter bunny treated you guys right this year! I loved seeing Lindsay using her new purse at church!!

Glad you had a happy Easter. I'm excited to see you soon. Keep up the fun posts! :)

Wow the easter bunny even takes care of the blog. Now that is a great idea. I think that I am going to start expecting more from our holiday gift givers. It sure looks like everyone go something that they would love.

Ah Ha! That explains the camera store question from Mr. Kelly on Sunday. What lens is he going to get?
The E.B. was very good to you this year!
The E.B. "forgot" to come to our house. I think he was too busy getting ready for a talk in church the next day, too...
You are the cutest. You make things so much fun for your family.

Boy, the Easter Bunny sure likes you guys! I'm thinking there must be more than one Easter Bunny, because the one that came to your house sure doesn't come to OUR house ;)

Wow, I think the Easter Bunny must have a rating system on who gets both candy AND gifts. We must have rated low here because we didn't see any Razor scooters or camera lenses! But I sure enjoyed the Daim candy he loaded in some of the eggs. AHH YEA!

I still love the whole egg decorating ritual. Helping the grandchildren means I don't really do any myself, but it is great fun facilitating their creative efforts.

Book of Mormon Stories Pool Party!

Hopefully this title, Book of Mormon Stories Pool Party , does not sound irreverent, because as an Activity Days leader, I felt compelled to come up with a fun end-of-the-summer event that is also uplifting, and after all, who doesn't love a splash in the pool on a hot day in August?  My current church calling, or official role that I volunteer for, allows me to plan two activities each month for girls ages 8 to 11, that will encourage them to learn and live the gospel, serve others, and use the talents Heavenly Father has given them, to learn to do many good things.  This year's seminary course of study for high school students is The Book of Mormon, and since I am a huge fan of this inspired book of scripture, I came up with this idea to have each girl show up to my house with a written summary of one of her favorite stories from within its many pages, and share it with the rest of the girls, while outside in our swimsuits near our backyard swimming pool!  As each girl shares

Our new daughter!

This picture was taken at church a few days ago while Kelly was on his way to the US for work this week. We have some wonderful news to share.  We are adopting 7-year-old Yeh Min Yu, who has been in our home off and on the last couple of months.  There's a lot that goes into making this official, dealing with US Homeland Security to arrange for her immigration visa, Taiwan courts and Chinese documents, getting a home study done by a licensed, qualified person, applying for a passport.  You have no idea.  I'll be glad when it's all done, but I couldn't wait to share this bit of joy with everyone.  We will name her Hannah to go on her new US birth certificate.  She's excited and nervous to go to America with us.  She can say more than 100 words in English so far.  Some of her favorite things to say are "small dog, butterfly, apple, pig."  She says it more like pig-uh.  We love her and feel this is one of the reasons we came to Taiwan.  Who would have thoug

Elder Larson to return from Thailand soon

Soon is relative, I suppose. Our son has been away from home more than a year and a half as he has been volunteering as a full-time missionary in the Thailand Bangkok Mission of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since September 14, 2016. He will be home in four months and is working so hard, knowing his time there is winding down. He has been assigned to train Elder Ben Meyer, from Sydney, Australia, as they serve in Ubon, Thailand. Christopher has been there since November. We are very proud of his dedication and hard work. This week in Thailand, the new prophet, President Russell M. Nelson, with his wife, Wendy Nelson, along with one of the Twelve Apostles, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, and his wife, Patricia Holland, will be on their world ministering tour and be where our son is. The Church members and missionaries in Thailand are very excited and happy for this special visit! I can't wait to hear how it goes, and I look forward to pictures and stories to come.
