Wilkinson Quintuplets are my buddies

One of the greatest joys to me is volunteering to help out with the Wilkinson quintuplets.

Here's Kaydence, Kassidy, Kyndall, Rustin, and Ryder on the front row. My mom, me, and Lindsey on the back row. We hung out with them while their parents and older siblings, Riley and Kaiya, went to Joe's Crabshack to celebrate their dad's birthday.

Kaydence and Kassidy, having fun watching Lindsey and me sing and dance to Hairspray as part of their nightly bedtime routine.

Lindsey is here playing with Ryder.

It was a fun surprise to run into the quints and their mom and friends at Rudino's for lunch a few days go.

Here's Rustin. Isn't he just the cutest little guy ever?

Or would that be Ryder as the cutest little guy ever? They're all just the sweetest little angels and I genuinely LOVE these little babies. What a blessing they are to so many people. I'm thankful that Rachelle and Jayson let me come over to visit their babies! It is such a joy and I love every minute of it.

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....

San Antonio temple weekend

Here am I (five months pregnant), with Hannah, Kelly, Lindsey, and Christopher, walking out of the San Antonio temple after our new daughter was sealed to us for time and for all eternity during a special, sacred ceremony, this past Saturday afternoon. We were happy to have a wonderful group of guests in attendance with us, Kelly's two sisters, Debbie and Brenda, my sister, Julie, Kelly's mom and dad, my mom, my good friends Lorraine and Stewart, Carol and Rick, and one person from our ward, my buddy, Sue. Dinner later that night consisted of a feast at the Salt Lick in Driftwood, Texas, for some incredible pork ribs, cole slaw, and more. We strolled along the Riverwalk to show our visiting family members one of San Antonio's popular tourist spots. It was a beautiful, windy day, the Saturday following Thanksgiving, in San Antonio. We tried to find a corner with less wind to blow in our faces. More photos of the family. The family, strolling along th...

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 ...
