Movie night: College Road Trip

Check this out, I took this picture yesterday inside the theater! The kids and I went to the late afternoon matinée of College Road Trip and loved it. It was really funny, especially Donny Osmond. The fact that my daughter will be heading to college in two years made it feel like this movie was a little closer to home for me. I give it a 4 on a scale of 1 to 5 and think it was worth the theater ticket price.

After the movie, we posed for pictures in the lobby with Patrick Dempsey for an upcoming movie. Christopher is wearing his baseball cap backward, gazing into Patrick's eyes.

Here's my shot at being the bride.
Lindsey had to stand on a bench to be tall enough for the pose. I pulled her hair out toward the front side of the cardboard and we were cracking up. It was a lot of fun.
One of the previews we saw for an upcoming movie that I really look forward to seeing is Nim's Island with Jodie Foster. It looks like it's going to be an excellent movie!

Those pictures are funny sis. Lindsey looks pretty, Christopher looks hilarious, as do you. I haven't heard of the movie you saw. Maybe I will go see it. I have two gift cards for a movie.

I am so glad to hear your review of that movie! I have seen the adverts for it and being somewhat of a Donny fan I have wondered if it would be worth it to see. You just never know with those kind of "goofy" looking movies, so I have been a little apprehensive about going to see it. That's good to hear - we'll have to check it out now :)

Hilarious photos!!

That is hilarious! And I'm so glad you gave a review on that movie, I'd been wondering. Here on a Utah morning show they mentioned that Donny Osmond stole the screen and was awesome. I can't believe Lindsey will be heading off to college in 2 years. WHOAH!!!!
I've wanted to see this movie, so thanks for the review. It looks funny. But not as fun-y as those pictures. :-D

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.
