"She not modest"

Josie taught our neighbor a new word the other day. She was playing with his 2 daughters and showed him a doll without clothes. Josie said, "Nick, she not modest." Nick looked at his wife and mouthed, "what is modest?" She explained that modesty is when you are covered with clothes. Good job, Josie, our big missionary girl!

Happy Memorial Day

It has been a great weekend! Saturday we visited with a lot of friends and family at a memorial service in Basin City. Yesterday we were lazy and spent the day with Uncle Ray's family. Today, we went to a Ward breakfast and were fortunate to hear the Star Spangled Banner by a professional trumpet player/police officer. We are about to head to Grandma and Grandpa's house for another barbeque and to catch up with all they accomplished in CA with Grandma Santos.

No news is good news?

Well, we haven't heard anything from DSHS yet about our Foster Care license...that probably means the fingerprint background checks have not been returned yet. We keep an eye on the mailbox and continue to wait impatiently.

We had a busy day today. The kiddos went to the park with our friend Danielle. They took their scooters and played while I went to Wal-Mart by myself. Then, we ran to Jason's work to pick up the check stub...we saw 3 of the USF trucks, one of which was Jason and we followed him for a few minutes. JJ fell asleep on the way home. Josie was in a hurry to get home because our neighbor Bella was waiting for her to play.

After naps and lunch, we went to the Children's Museum to play. Josie loves the princess dress-ups they have there and JJ enjoys driving the school bus, ambulances and fire trucks. It was an eventful day and we are so glad we are home in bed now.
