Clogging at Thanksgiving Point

Last weekend the girls had their first real clogging event this season - it was a competition at Thanksgiving Point. The team danced really well it was fun to watch.

6th Grade Valentine's Dance

So AB participated in the big 6th grade Valentine's Dance. They practice for months learning all sorts of dances and social skills. She learned everything from the Cha Cha to how to politely cut in on a couple that is already dancing. This is one of the most talked about events of the entire school year or school career. AB got a new dress and had to curl her hair up all cute. Oh my they are growing up...

Cha Cha anyone? - Sorry about the poor quality. Does anyone know how to get better quality video? It looks great on my computer but when I upload it to google it knocks the quality down. I actually rendered this for web streaming and think that was a mistake.

More of Life in Peru

I haven't posted in a while - I will try to update things over the next few days. Between my job and classes life has been pretty hectic. My current class ends the last Thursday of March, so I'm hopeful that things will get better in April. Also our PC's hard drive failed and it is still in the process of being replaced - so I'm working on the Mac. I like the Mac but it is a little like teaching an old dog new tricks. I think I need to do a Microsoft commercial - "Hi I'm 42, I blog and I'm a PC!" Anyway, I digress. Elder C just sent us a picture CD of mission life so here are just a few of my favorites....
Elder C in the Jungle...

Cheers with suri..

Thumbs up.

I guess you burn a tie when you have been out for 1 year...

No comment needed - from the boy who doesn't like snakes.

Yurimaguas - his current city

It rains almost everyday in the jungle.

When it rains it makes mud.

Looks just like Elder C to be dancing with the kids.

Family in Pucallpa.

The reason he is serving in Peru...



I could post a ton more - they are all so fun. Just know he looks great and truly is having the "best two years" of his life.
