If you look closely, you will notice he had an airplane cake both years! This boy loves airplanes!! Well, anything that flies high in the sky and makes lots of noise and goes really fast! He has lost his two bottom teeth, earned a yellow belt in martial arts, reads over a hundred sight words, loves math, has tried to repel down the side of the stairs using plastic links, loves to wear overalls, has a fish named Dash, loves to go super fast, willing to protect anyone that needs protecting (even the girls in at church, very funny story), is extremely hard to get mad at because he loves kisses and hugs and smiling and every night says, “Have good dreams.” <br />
<br />
We are so blessed to have him in our lives! We are also grateful that Heavenly Father sent him to us when we were more mature and patient =)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1013352825363208209.post-29723428576951181202015-04-12T17:32:00.001-07:002015-04-12T17:32:52.104-07:00Isaac Grows Up<p>Our little boy (well, he started out over 10 pounds, so he never was that little) has had a couple of birthdays. The latest one marked him at the age of 12! </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-5_yMG9myvMg/VSsOnsO-6lI/AAAAAAAAET4/RTTZXG9ALSE/s1600-h/DSC05403%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="DSC05403" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; padding-right: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="DSC05403" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-TqFjIZHJ7n8/VSsOoET8RYI/AAAAAAAAEUA/xym1xyFNoWk/DSC05403_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="229"></a></p> <p>He is now an inch and a half short of 5 feet, has hit the big three digits in weight, and wears the same size shoe as his mother! In school, he enjoys reading (Brandon Sanderson books) and vocabulary words (hyperpolysyllabicsesquipedalianist) . In sports, he loves playing anything and has just earned his blue belt in martial arts. Musically, he is very talented! He does very well on the piano and is getting close to being able to join the College Band on the French Horn! In scouts, he has achieved First Class rank and needs one more merit badge and 5 more weeks of playing the piano for his youth group to advance in rank to Star Scout! In church, Isaac now has the Aaronic Priesthood and holds the office of Deacon. He passes the sacrament every week and was set apart as the 1st counselor in the Deacon’s Quorum today! His favorite book in the Book of Mormon is the Book of Ether! Well, the first half of it because it is a big WAR!!!! </p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-zwzlu_MSm3Q/VSsOohl_VvI/AAAAAAAAEUI/8-QkkqxtfTw/s1600-h/DSC05422%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="DSC05422" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; padding-right: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="DSC05422" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-waca05icoDI/VSsOpKUlraI/AAAAAAAAEUQ/ERlklat1sjk/DSC05422_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="229"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisVBWe9JiAqhZr-6QZkXhkJ8kvjy2yW_a3WQsMSoyQPndhX2-k0SckPBKepIZva5vbNzgC8_JdG7HX9dHw8-ABROzhPiL2RaXu4XYZWz6vm2BJYMOw9FclWaO4gTV9skKTmT-sNd-qiO8/s1600-h/DSC05421%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="DSC05421" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; padding-right: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="DSC05421" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-RBRrsFH4xrw/VSsOqq7TrrI/AAAAAAAAEUg/iidapoUYOws/DSC05421_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="229"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-_EViQ0rJs_Xu_usWD-BausVKtBWEcFO09Wua3g98YG7dYq9ven4L0B8x4wkjfZqnGcx7RQREmTFd_CgN9CE8rCcE3c1jTq-uSJB2POBcqz0bbcZbjqMmbaJsm45lq0T0zNEJAqu9BBk/s1600-h/DSC05412%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="DSC05412" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; padding-right: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="DSC05412" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Byu3JKOP0EY/VSsOroziaeI/AAAAAAAAEUs/zSPHBqJwx8c/DSC05412_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="229"></a></p> <p>Oh, and his favorite animal is the owl!</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjANgix1OR29GRQvjkXRrMwyETicAPLHgrEF14eM0Ciaz7tKLdFzLpRIMHJuNDR7L5O1Q9Whxlt_dFItrC4YIiZ6-VyIl6Slwo7eQ38QxOkYyFNlOlQTliKLh0WX4AOh76QJz-QUBQF0f4/s1600-h/DSC05592%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img title="DSC05592" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; padding-right: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="DSC05592" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-1JvxKcn9IxY/VSsOsqwdd6I/AAAAAAAAEVA/bB_8-htXc90/DSC05592_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="229"></a></p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1013352825363208209.post-55070233118874851812015-04-12T17:08:00.001-07:002015-04-12T17:08:25.516-07:00Exchange Students<p>Japan has been the country of our students this last year =) Our knowledge of Japan has increased.

Isaac has recently taken an interest in the sport =) We learned about the game from our friends who couldn’t come =( It turned out to be a great game! Apparently, in volleyball, the win goes to the team that wins 3 out of 5. BYU won with a sweep! They won the first 3 games, so the last 2 weren’t even played! </p> <p align="center">Here are Isaac and Bekah ready to support those Cougars! </p> <p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBC14V2BIgLv6rHhjZj3S5oIjrvf3LkrJmbBaeQtF42DxWNwCxTp7XkyVQVx2c7Ows8WtFSVgJkFftIlV7L5cSq906KSur9gRaw4tl9w8kOQkHgXosJrAxgfsiFO8q3kelWc9X8DdgeYw/s1600-h/DSC05806%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img title="DSC05806" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="DSC05806" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-9yZtxAFflH4/VSsBfWAyP_I/AAAAAAAAER8/YgXAiiysGbA/DSC05806_thumb%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="257" height="304"></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqnA-MNeU8ycShrJwAZ3iwPpK64snh6TCoHJohcjCyhAPzMMhpaEL_oUcwuBxbleYwmVM4E-Axi1RiGTmk4GaU8kpaUiLY78XzvrtWf9VpmGosjVkYzuT-MDpqrjJHxCqbGyIXCrqLZ_Q/s1600-h/DSC05808%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="DSC05808" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="DSC05808" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-m9n0PBpCozU/VSsBgk1UzRI/AAAAAAAAESI/WVh2YdRHOgo/DSC05808_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="229"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggQWJZgVoWqwwKth74bA5ddfL_iav21ft-TZdvEhLjvfR3FZNz8zBDMwdmHcmpx6FJRmMJBp7_5yuOhS86sqgvVteN9SGWsSiJOWJlrwK94DCbrG6GX4bA_EtQVevFh3lE_M5gJuJfTq4/s1600-h/DSC05807%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="DSC05807" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="DSC05807" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-bSqIT1TbmnY/VSsBhlMuzPI/AAAAAAAAESc/_0jzlFYopcc/DSC05807_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="229"></a></p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1013352825363208209.post-31359299784005902092014-10-21T13:59:00.001-07:002014-10-21T14:00:06.029-07:00Look, I am Creative!<p>Art class today =) Haha, just kidding… celebration of a working oven!</p> <p align="center">Owl by Isaac</p> <p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_nAn_FZdmFs8NWgnn6um22Afvbw3Jx37pUIJcAu_ix9yddcS48z7G6v0ExWJ-aezebsf174PA7ZZlnWB78LDj0TR-_HeN0wGwXAAc9B7YBEp3G_VJ_h6kx6kiLpOqPUEuB-I4Jkiie9w/s1600-h/DSC04558%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="DSC04558" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="DSC04558" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-G5l8LMNDf8I/VEbJOew3JhI/AAAAAAAAEAs/_albNIhcRW0/DSC04558_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="229"></a></p> <p align="center">Kitty Kittty Cat Cat by Bekah</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-Ah29a0GYId0/VEbJOkOyFlI/AAAAAAAAEA0/0y1YBZ_MgFY/s1600-h/DSC04560%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="DSC04560" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="DSC04560" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-9AGX49Tn6EQ/VEbJPDExvFI/AAAAAAAAEA8/pcVPDs5vwLE/DSC04560_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="229"></a></p> <p align="center">The Mountain of Olives by Benjamin</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-eXnV9n21Gu8/VEbJPdVn-MI/AAAAAAAAEBI/MM-I7Y9XmJc/s1600-h/DSC04563%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="DSC04563" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="DSC04563" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-U4LQF3r9-6A/VEbJQNAZqTI/AAAAAAAAEBM/MEU0S-fHMRE/DSC04563_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="229"></a></p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1013352825363208209.post-53236500950973012852014-02-05T17:20:00.001-08:002014-02-05T17:20:54.102-08:00Not Prepared for….<p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFJtug6p44jInplE1QYkBvVhc_G2wDhMV-xckA5srymN2Jvwix80o6hbUXCYk6mOVWXYiOj6NKtMXAjH3hJ-AeW88S07E6t6DNQ9WqLLHhB6KsCErN8FxSf0vWf-M2uH4AQMq21GZxssg/s1600-h/DSC01210%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="DSC01210" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; padding-right: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="DSC01210" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-U2BfjfG0lnA/UvLjcbrJe3I/AAAAAAAAD38/fkl1Jb-9wRM/DSC01210_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="229"></a></p> <p>It is way too early for plum blossoms!

It was a lot of fun.

Abinadi is locked in the dungeon. The picture is too far away to see that there is a door with a window. Only his head is in the window, BUT she drew his body too. The one behind the door =) She started drawing something weird above everyone’s heads. I said they were ring pops! I told you we were silly. Anyway, one guy was sad (the one under the big red scribble looking thing) because he didn’t have any ring pops, oh I mean bags of money.</p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1013352825363208209.post-76760503161285190272013-03-26T22:16:00.001-07:002013-03-26T22:16:57.993-07:00Happy Easter Week<p>The children love to put on plays!

This is Celine. She isn’t really Chinese! Her grandparents, or was it great-grandparents, left China and settled in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauritius" target="_blank">Mauritius</a>. There are a lot of Indians (real ones from India) there, so Mauritius food is delicious =) Celine got a scholarship to study in China for college! Her first year she spent in an immersion program learning Chinese. That’s right, she learned Chinese at the age of 19. She doesn’t really fit in with the real Chinese, but she is trucking along. Her and Loreena are now BFF!</p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1013352825363208209.post-21734763982731336152013-03-01T09:33:00.001-08:002013-03-01T09:33:18.100-08:00Ketchup<p>I do not like ketchup!
