Kid's Market Day

At Preston's school they have a kids market day where they have earned money for doing good things and so on. The kids bring in things that they want to sell. Preston had about $10 in kids money and brought things to sell which meant he could get more money. To make a long story short. He came home with a piece of candy for him and this for Addison a Princess Clock. Her eyes got so big and had a big smile and she carried it around all day long, and as character to Addie she had to sleep with it. Preston later told me that kids were making fun of him for buying it. But he said he didn't care. That he saw it and new Addie would love it! Thats my boy!!

Keller and Graffiti!

Ok.. sounds bad. Well it is but it's funny too. Keller's name is written on the playground across the street at the park. Someone has written in big letters in the tunnel of the playground
I love Keller. I tried to take a picture but one wouldn't come out good enough. Oh well!

Not Much

Well, there really hasn't been much to report lately. Just getting our lives back in order from Europe. And the week after we got back Addison got sick and then Ellie and then I did. But, I don't think swine flu was an issue over there when we were there. So, we are ok on that department. We have just been very busy with boys starting baseball and me making watches and doing boutiques! Thanks for the support.

GiVe AwAy!

Lazy Day in Frankfurt

Today we took a lazy day and had a picnic at the park, went to the temple and to Hessenpark. It was nice to just stroll relax and let the little ones run wild at the park. We had ice cream. And Addison shared hers with Ellie. It was all in all a beautiful day!

Elder Carter and Holland

Elder Carter and Elder De Mass

Elder Carter and Foley



Today we made the trip to go see Cado. We were given strict instructions to call him at 10:30 and to address him as Elder Carter. First we called an hour late because we thought that Holland was an hour behind Germany. Then we called him Cado and Caden and so on. He would laugh and say what.... when I would call him by name. He shook our hands and gave Cory a hug. He introduced us to some Holland type sodas and some round hot dog looking things but had meat and potatoes inside of it. He showed us his bike and called a new memeber that they are in contact with named Foley from Africa. When he would talk to him he would suddenly get a strange accent. It was "hey man", "how you doing man", and "God permits" it was a great experience. And even with us there he was able to make some contacts. The guy at the restaurant asked why they were her and said he is very religious and is always looking for more information and they gave him their cards. After that we headed to the Anne Frank Museum. It was really neat but we were unable to get any pictures of that. We saw a few windmills and some tulips. But missed alot of that. We had to go to another city to see that. And I really wanted to go to the Anne Frank house. On the way home we were able to see Almere. We didnt go there but we saw the sign. It was a great as you can imagine!

Fussen, Germany

This was the last stop on our drive. We got there and stayed 2 days. It was so neat. Fussen is where King Ludwig was he was king and the Bavarian people did not think that he cared enough for his country that he was to interested in the "arts" and opera's so they claimed he was mentally ill and had him sent to prison while they waited on what to do about him. Mysteriously they found him and his doctor floating dead in a lake. He only lived in the castle for 114 days and didn't get any of the 2nd floor done or his throne finished. King Ludwig's father's castle is right below his. And the views are beautiful! This is where Walt Disney got Cinderella's castle from. Addison couldn't wait to see it. She was so excited to go to the castle and kept looking and pointing and jumping. The castle inside was amazing. You got to see where he slept and the kitchen and the servants quarters. Fussen is a cute little town. King Ludwig's father's castle is right below his. And the views are beautiful!
