Great little baker!

Morgan got the funnest gift for Christmas... babycakes cupcake baker!   She has tried so many of the recipes from their cookbook and we have all enjoyed eating her creations.  They have been tasty and easy for her to make on her own.  The only mishap that we have had was when she added granulated sugar instead of powdered sugar in the icing!

Picture's from our Elder...

In January we got a package from our Elder... it had things that he needed to send home, a few odds and ends and 3 cds with pictures!!!

We did notice a trend in most of the pictures that were taken at the MTC...

and Zack is not the tallest kid around...

but he sure looks a little like a giant in some of these pictures!!!  :)

Maybe it's in that cafeteria food there!

He's finally HOME!!!

Last Wednesday was such a great day!!!  After two years Ben is HOME safe and sound.

He looks and sounds pretty much the same....

He thinks everyone looks blonder... we think his hair is darker.

BUT... He is different.   More calm, the same.... but better!

What a GREAT day!  We are sooooo glad to have you home Ben!  Love you!

Hawaii

Last month we went to Hawaii with Russ'  mom & dad & brother and sisters (& spouses).  We had such a great time... here are a few of the pictures.

Russ always has to find an "off the beaten path" hike or waterfall... this was literally a hike through the jungle!  Lots of fun!

We had to stop at 24/7 a restaurant featured on Man VS Food.  The pancake challenge was to eat three 14" pancakes with toppings in less than 90 minutes.... Unfortunately our whole table could only finish 1/2 of our order!  They tasted real good though!

Hanauma Bay... turtles, eels & lots of fish... on my!

This beautiful sunset picture was taken right across the street from our hotel.  Gorgeous!
