Stuff

These are just a few miscellaneous pictures with no real theme! One day maybe last week, it looked like rain, but we didn't get any! But we did get a full rainbow! I couldn't even fit it all on one screen. If you look closely, you can see that there was a partial second rainbow as well! It was really cool! Then, Stanley did the new toy closet in the kitchen! Doesn't it look great! We can't wait to go through all the toys and organize it for the kids to use! And we have the picture of the canapy. Stanley was tired of hitting his head on the old one, so he bought a different tarp, switched some poles around and bought some taller ones and wallah! He won't be bumping his head on this one! And of course we couldn't forget the picture of the dog! Champ is his name! And keeping cook is his game! He got his hair trimmed before we got him and Dallon is having fun training him to be a good dog! He already is pretty good - he doesn't bark all night!

Grandpa and Gavin

Here are a couple pictures of Gavin and Grandpa the day before we left for Louisiana. Special moments.

Ellee and Geoffrey's new home

Well, we traveled to Louisiana to help Geoffrey and Ellee move. We took two days - fast, long days to get to our destination. Here they are in front of their house - after we emptied the truck! It's a cute little house! The next picture is taken in the livingroom, looking through the dining room and into the kitchen. Yes, that's brown shag carpet! The next picture is of the kitchen. The dryer sits to the right of the door where the picture was taken. It wasn't there yet. The next picture is of the bathroom with the washer next to the water heater! Interesting place for it! The bedrooms are on either side of the bathroom. There's a smaller "bedroom/office" behind the kitchen. It doesn't have a closet, so it's a good place to store extra stuff or for whatever you wanted to use it for! There's more pictures at:picasaweb.google.com/buttest9. They'll have fun putting stuff away and getting to know their neighbors and ward family. It's going to be a great two years!

Me and Marcio, jt´s old companion!

The famous shirt burning! I didnt get any pics of the shirt burning, it burned to fast. But it was fun!

August 6th, at the center of fortaleza. There is a huge catholic church right in the middle

Is it a statue or a man?

I have already seen real people doing this in the street, for a living i think. But this fellow is a statue. Some singer i think

Elder T. Santos and me at the ocean, at the dock

Dolphins!!! we spotted some dolphins in the bay swiming around. Sweet!

Here are some recent random pictures. I will post some more soon for Maeley's B-day & Kensington's blessing.

Clinton

Here's some of the pictures we recently got from Clinton. They were taken in April and May. First, they're all showing their muscle working to clear a plot of land to build a house on. Next you see that Clinton is right at home with cactus! In Brazil! Who'd of thunk! Then we have Clint resting in his hammock after a day of hiking and riding bicycles. Then there's the happy baptism - that's why he's there - spreading the good word of Jesus Christ to the people of Brazil!
