Home in Holland

Mel and his sisters went home for their dad's 80th birthday. They celebrated at an Indonesian restaurant, and apparently Bupa's dessert really smelled, so they asked for some clothes pins. Apparently the waiter/owner had a sense of humor because he brought them with the dessert.
Mel and his sisters picked up some wheelchairs so Bupa and Mimi would have an easier time getting around with them. Here they are near the favorite fish restaurant at the edge of the water.
Mel, his parents, and sisters all got to go to the Dutch temple together for the first time. Probably the chance of a lifetime for them.

They had a great time together and really enjoyed the trip!

Private?

I suppose a lot of you saw the clip on KSL about blogs--I didn't. I fell asleep, but I read it today online. I'm not really paranoid, but I am considering going private, so if you want to be on my email list for invites, let me know, just in case. Weird stories out there!

Halloween 2008

On Thursday our neighborhood had trunk-or-treat at the park behind our house, and our cousins joined up because they came to see Anna and Thys's program at Becky's. As you can see, Thys is costume-less. Below are my attempts at costuming him. He was NOT fond of it, but he was definitely fond of all the candy in his "punkin."


First attempt at Thys's costume--blurry photo, undressing. He had it on for a whole 2 minutes.
On Halloween, we went up to our cousins' house at Suncrest to trick-or-treat. G and G came, and for some reason, Thys decided it was okay put the costume on for Grandpa, BUT he did NOT wear it trick-or-treating. He did wear it long enough to get candy all over it, however.

Anna was a beautiful Ariel. This is her at Becky's program. She wondered why everyone liked her so much as Ariel . . . .

Halloween was fun, but we missed our dad who was off in Holland celebrating his dad's 80th birthday. Happy Birthday, Bupa!!
