Elizabeth dresses up

Trying on a prom dress with her new tiara and earrings (we had great fun at the mall and she spent her own money!) Had to take a picture so her brothers could see what a pretty girl she's growing up to be!

Mother's Day

I got a great present this morning, checked my email box and new photos of Philip!! Yeah! Then Alex called at 9 and said he'd be skyping us at 10:30 so we stayed home from church to catch that, which was terrific! Amazing to have photo conversations with a son in Africa.  And Philip should be calling any minute! Sharing his picture!

PHOTOS of PHILIP!

I know, I know! Finally, right? So there is a lovely girl from Page, AZ loves to take pictures and took some of Philip.  Then Philip was transferred to Aztec. She went on a mini-mission to Aztec and Philip was her zone leader there. SO, miracle of miracles! We have photographic evidence that Philip is still alive!! :) Thank you, Jessica!!

 Aztec Ruins--and snow! Brrrr!

 Dear Jessica who loves to take pictures, with Philip :)

 Missionary Tailgate Party

 I'm sure Philip is diligently writing notes on his experiences!

 It's tradition in this mission to burn a tie at 6 months, and they are doing this. Of course, the ones they are wearing are pretty bad! They burn a shirt at a year and a pair of pants at 18 months from what I understand. They wear them out, that's for sure!

Alexander is in Mozambique!

He is serving in Chimoio and very excited. To read his letters, go to elderawbrey.blogspot.com
We are so excited!!
ALSO! News from his mission president, we are not to send boxes except two per year. It is costly and takes a long time to get the boxes from the mission home to the elder... and mail not so much costly but same amount of time. Good thing the box we sent had oreos in it, I'm sure they'll last.  SO If you want to write to Alexander go ahead and email:  alexander.awbrey@myldsmail.net    That's the only communication we get!! And since all his SD cards were stolen we may be a long time without pictures. Boo.  Sooo sad.  Anyway, feel free to write to him!

Easter Pics

We hid all the HUGE eggs all over the yard and had the girls sit with them for pics... it was bribery but it was fun!

 Here you see a perfect example of why you need cropping software. I pulled my Picasa off because it was so invasive... may have to bring it back though. However you must admit it is a thorough way of identifying the things that need to change in your yard.  Like, pick up all the black buckets around. What are they doing anyway? And that black hosing, isn't there someplace it belongs?  So you see, photography can be a diagnostic tool in many ways. (!)
