I love Mondays!!

It made me sad when Carter came up and asked "Where is my book of pictures?" I had made scrapbooks for the older children and then put that hobby aside when I felt like a needed to spend more time with my growing family. Now, I wish I would have kept up with the hobby some how. I have taken lots and lots of pictures, but they are just sitting in files on my computer. So, I have decided to start scrapbooking--it's so fun to watch their eyes light up as they look through the pages of their life. It also helps them remember that their siblings should be their best friends!

So, I was looking through some computer files from 2008 and came upon this precious picture of my two oldest! They are BEST FRIENDS!! They always have been and is always be!


Currently they are serving missions for our church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints!



Every Monday I get to hear from both of them via email! It's so fun to hear about their lives in these different countries! They are both extremely happy and positive about life! They LOVE what they are doing! I couldn't be more thrilled.


Shantelle is in Philippines Legazpi Mission!


 Lyndon is in Brazil Sao Paulo Interlagos Mission!!  He did serve in the Washington Everett Mission when he was waiting for this visa.

What great examples for their younger siblings!

Oh I need to get caught up on scrapbooks... I was so good with my first two and never even started one for Henry!
I'm so glad that Lyndon finally got to Brazil! I love seeing pictures of those two--I know they are great missionaries!

Thanks for the comments! My biggest struggle with scrapbooking is rather to go digital or stick with paper (traditional). May be I should just blog more and than make it into a book. :)
