Today was our monthly sabbath meal after church. Three daughters of our friends the Apelands (the family that were missionaries in Ireland for years) were baptized- what an honor to be present for that! They are an amazing family.
Everyone had fun swimming and talking after the baptism and meal, and Tim (the other elder at church) got an extra special surprise when he got pulled in- he was sitting with his back to the pool and had no idea it was coming… check out this awesome picture taken by one of our fellow Trinity members…

Isn’t that hilarious? We love hanging out with our church family so much… it’s been a huge blessing to us since everyone in both of our families lives out of state.
The other day I took the girls to one of the nearby lakes to have a picnic lunch, and as we were eating, Erin asked me if they could go fishing (Nate usually takes them to this lake when they go fishing). I am not a fisherman, and I was formulating how to say this to Erin when Katy replied in her best “I’m the big sister and I know everything” voice, “Mommy doesn’t have fishing skills.” I half expected her to go on, saying… “or nun-chuck skills or computer hacking skills…” Katy loves Napoleon Dynamite (we edit certain parts), and would gladly choose that over most other traditional kids movies. I think it’s because every time we visited Auntie Tara in Zion we would watch it at night, so she associates the movie with Auntie Tara. But she does actually laugh in the appropriate places, so maybe she just shares our sense of humor. Maybe we’ll try out an edited version of Best in Show, too… that 2 left feet thing is hilarious!
