Almost home from Colorado

Lindsey has spent the last two weeks wake boarding, kayaking, going to youth conference with her cousin (a trek in Wyoming along the pioneer Mormon trail), fishing, riding behind the boat on various floating objects, and visiting friends and family.R and R.
Christopher has been doing almost as many things, but since he's six years younger, he's spent a lot of time with the younger cousins instead.
The weather has been kind of cold lately, and the boat broke down for a while, but they've still managed to get a lot of lake time in.
Here's Grandma cooking up one of her specialties, smothered burritos, which we enjoy every time we go there. This was the menu on Father's Day when Kelly's two sisters and their families joined everyone at their home.
Here's Kelly's dad, Grandpa, kicking back on Father's Day.
The kids will be going to Waterworld tomorrow in Denver, and the new friends Lindsey made from youth conference are having a little going away party for her tomorrow night. They'll be home in three days!

I can't wait to play on the lake! It looks like they had a marvelous time.

What a great experience for Lindsey. I did a Pioneer Trek when I was a teen and it was for sure a huge testimony and faith builder and an experience I will never forget. I hope my children will someday get to do one as well.

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...

The BIG REVEAL!

We LOVE our new pool! There are a couple of problems that need to be fixed, so we're crossing our fingers that they get it done right, and soon, considering we have given them the final check for the balance of the pool, and we don't have any leverage. Three of the waterfalls work. This is the main one and I like the natural look. Below, here's the deep end waterfall, and it's flows nicely. The water sheer like this one, that flows into the shallow beach area, is the fall that is not working. It's frustrating, but hopefully they'll fix it soon. The fountain in the spa is blocked too. Here's the small rock waterfall, which works just great. It took about 18 hours to fill the pool and we practically watched it gallon by gallon. I stayed up all night long, making sure it didn't overflow. We swim in it every day. Last night we went on a midnight swim and it was beautiful. The water temperature is perfect. I'm extremely thankful that we have our new...

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....
