Uncle Adam is home!

We finally got to go to the airport to welcome Adam on Saturday night at midnight. It was crazy, he has several delays, so we were never quite sure when we would be going to the airport until he finally boarded the plane. We were on call from Friday night on! It was great to see him again! I am so appreciative of the wonderful example that you have set for all of your nieces and nephews, Adam. We love you!

Vacation

We had a great vacation over Christmas break - I drove with the kids to stay with my parents in California for almost a week. One drawback to Paul working at UPS is that he doesn't get any time of over Christmas break. I was worried about the drive, but between books on tape and music, and lots of treats, we were fine. It was a very packed house, and we had a great time. I think at the peak, we had 32 people staying at my parent's house - it was wall to wall people! We went to the beach, I got to visit with my friend Melanie from high school (and we invaded her parents guesthouse for a couple of nights - thank you so much!) We got to go to the airport to welcome my brother Adam home from his mission! We went to Superior Dairy with Mark and Lilly and had two SOS's - super oversized sundaes - yummy! Most of the Adamson cousins together - the kids all sang "Called to Serve" on Sunday for their Uncle Adam - this was a practice.

Mark, Lilly and Rebekah and the monster sundae! It was huge, with seven scoops of ice cream plus whipped cream, bananas, chocolate. So yummy, thanks Mark and Lilly!

PISMO BEACH was so much fun! We went with Jared and Janessa's families. It was great!

This is sooooooo funny!

I was at the library last night with my kids. Rebekah needs to read two classic books for a report, and was searching on the computer. I was standing behind her, and she typed into the search box "Donkey Hote." I just about died laughing. She got mad at me, but I said she was one in a million. I was proved wrong...we saw Josh, and Rebekah asked him how to spell Don Quixote. He spelled it the same way...so did Michael, Elizabeth and Rachel. I thought it was the funniest thing I had heard in a long time! I love you guys!
