Jeremy's Mission Call

I am sure all of you know by now that Jeremy is going to the Cleveland, Ohio mission.  (I am so EXCITED!!!) Here are the pictures from his mission call announcement party.

I feel like waiting for his mission call could be written into a saga and subsequently made into a 6-movie Peter Jackson masterpiece.  It.  Took.  So.  Long....  We thought it would come way earlier than it did, then the Stake President told us it wouldn't be here for several more weeks.  Eventually, however, it came just in time.

This super cool cake that Mama Lisa designed.

These were all of the immediate family guesses.  The little girls guessed by pointing to places on the map.

These were all of the Facebook guesses.  It was super fun to see family and friends from all over make guesses as to where Jeremy would go.

Yummy snacks!

Cleveland Ohio!!!

This was such an amazing experience!  Jeremy going on a mission is such a special and awesome thing!  He will be a super missionary and I cannot wait to hear about all the experiences that he will have.  

Love,

Courtney

PS-I am going to miss him so much!

Photo Dump-Trip To CdA/Spokane For Lylah's Birthday

This cutie wanted to come with me.

Kitty holding Jeremy's hand.  SO CUTE!

Why did I take a picture of this??  Oh yeah, Kitty was picking hairs out of the brush and eating them.

Kitty's pigtails... AW :)

Mom playing with Lylah :) 

Mom is shocked by Miranda's conversational piece.

Lylah LOVES grapes.  A lot.  

This is her you must have food face.

Practicing for present opening.

So cute!  

Lylah eating her birthday cake.  This was right after the power went out in part of Spokane because of a storm.

Eating the yummy cake that Grandma made for her.

She thought that cake was SO yummy!

Can I have more please?

Kitty in a sweet party hat!

Something was hilarious to her, I don't remember what it was.

Kitty wearing some sweet glasses.

She really loved this rocking chair.

But she loved standing on it even more.

The best time to do Lylah's hair is when she is eating.  Her hands will be occupied and she will be distracted by her delicious vittles.

Cute hair!

So adorable!

Yay for Kiks.

Miranda was trying to make Kitty laugh for a picture and the girls both thought it was hilarious.

Is that my new fur brother?

Wait for the chubby cheeks.  Wait for it.....

Adorable!

She has the cutest smile!

Jeremy teaching Lylah how to play Fruit Ninja.

These two are the best of friends... Most of the time.

They are very possessive of their sippy cups though.

Very.

Kitty is so cute!!

They always fight over this one pink airplane toy.  It's kind of hilarious.

Dang, I wish this picture wasn't blurry.  It's Kitty's "why the heck did you do that?" face.  I believe that was right after we stopped her from running Lylah over with the airplane.

They love to "talk" to each other.

And don't you think our morning snack was served a little too close to lunch?

And there's the other time when they don't get along too.

Those ponytails though....

This is Jeremy's derp face.  I just wanted to record it for posterity.

Then we went to Miranda and Anton's cabin.

The boys and the doughnuts.

This is their cabin with the add-on that Anton has been working on.

Photobomb.

CUTE!

Mmmmm, doughnuts.

Anton's super cool tractor.

It's awesome engine.

These two love to play together.

Cute!

Thanks for reading my obnoxious comments!

Love,
