So Proud of My Husband!

We have been very busy around our house over the past two weeks. Chris had the assignment for work to go down to Brazil and run the sound for the Temple Dedication and Day of Celebration Broadcasts and Events. He has been looking forward to this trip for about a year and a half now. One of his favorite companions from his mission in Washington D.C. is from the city ( Curtiba, Brazil) where the new Temple is located. He was able to hang out with his mission companion all week long. This ended up being a huge blessing. His compaion became the translator for everyone from Salt Lake. Chris's mission companion help with the huge language barrier and was able to interface with the local companies the Church had hired to provide equipment for the events.


This is Chris and Isiais. They are standing at the Mixing console located at the Kyrocera Soccer Stadium in Curtiba, where the day of Celebration was held.



The middle picture is of Chris standing on the stage just prior to President Monsons' arrival for the Member meeting and cultural event. The picture above is of Chris in the mechanical room directly below the Celestial Room in the Temple mixing sound for the live broadcast to all the members in Brazil.

Mimi, Papa and Mitch

This past weekend we had some of our favorite visitors. Mimi and Papa Liston came down to visit and they brought Cousin Mitchell with them. Weston was very excited to have Mitch come a play all weekend long with him. We had a fun time doing all sorts of things. We rode the New fount runner train into Salt Lake City and had dinner. The boys loved riding on the fast train. Papa helped Chris and Weston build a dog house for princess. Mitch helped also with this project. We where sad when Papa and Mitch had to go home. Mimi is staying a few extra days to help me and visit with her mom.

As for this week we have been busy. Weston is no longer in school. Now I have to come up with ways to keep him buys all summer. Chris left for Brazil for a week. He is doing the sound for the Temple Dedication of the New temple. I hate when he was to be away for so long. Little Carter is having a hard time with Chris being gone. He loves his dad very much. I had to have a 4 hour Glucose test done today. All of my numbers came back in the normal range. I am very happy about that. I have just about two months to go.

Sorry there are no pictures but Chris took the Camera with him to Brazil. I will post pictures next week.

Some fun pictures

This is what Weston did for me on mothers day. Chris has to work on Sunday mornings and so Weston did this all by himself. I am so proud of him. He did not carry it upstairs because it was to heavy. My made me feel so special.

This is Carter at Westons t-ball game. Chris gave him a browine. Of course it ended up all over his face.
This is a video of Weston hitting the ball. He is loving t-ball

The Yard

We have been really busy over the last two weeks. Chris has been awesome. We planted our grass almost two weeks ago. It is really coming in wonderful. Everyone in our neighborhood is amazed how well and fast it came in. We are just glad that our prayer where answered. We still have a few weeks to go before it is in fully.
We have also put our whole fence up last weekend. It looks awesome and I am proud of Chris for doing all the work himself. We planted the grass in the backyard on Monday night. We have about a week to go to see sprouts. Wish us luck.
