Catching up part 2

Michael had gone to the restroom the other day and I hear a "OH MY GOSH!!!!" come out of his mouth. He ran for my camera and I find this! HOW GROSS IS THIS???????????? That thing is huge! Let just say now before I go to the bathroom I have Michael check it thoroughly!!!!! Closer look at the spider in comparison to my razor!!!!
After Michael got my shoe, this is what is left of it!
EWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was sooooooooooooooooooo Gross!
We had gone to the chapel for a baptism, but got the date wrong so we figured we would take pictures at the Temple at least.


As for Foxy! She just gets cuter and cuter everyday. She finds the cutest ways to be close to her mommy! I found her between my legs sleeping one day.....see below.

I just love this picture of her above. Below: We got her a crate for when she flies home with me and she LOVES it. I will notice that she isn't by us anymore and wonder where she is and then notice she is in there sleeping. She loves the M&M blanket Mom Vatcher got us and has adopted it as her own. I am trying to decide wither it would be better to put something smaller in there for the flight so she has room or if I should keep it in there because she loves it and it would give her comfort. What do you think?

catching up...part 1


So in April, we went with the Chinese wards on a field trip. I am not quite sure where they took us, but it was pretty. Above is the group minus us (I was taking the picture and Michael was talking to the missionaries about one of our student being baptized-you'll read about in later in the post)
While we were there I had a lot of fun taking pictures of the different flowers. There weren't many different kinds but this was my favorite.

Okay, this was way fun! In Taiwan they have a traditional bamboo dance. Way fun!!!! I will teach it to you all when we get home, Just find me bamboo. At first I couldn't get it at all. I kept getting my foot stuck in the middle of the bamboo or stepping on it. After a while I got the hang of it. Now I was really enjoying it. So, we had a competition with different groups. They made me go with the singles ( My group was full so I couldn't go with them and I think even though most know I am married there are a lot that don't know or just wish I wasn't). It was way fun. I still don't know who won though. Below is Michael doing it. He caught on really fast and was really good at it. It helps that He had tennis shoes on and not just sandals like me. LOL
After lunch I went for a walk with Michael really close by and got attacked by this wooden Crocodile. He wanted my purse. So I pulled and pulled but couldn't get it back....so
I got reinforcements. Vic is a boy I taught last semester (Click on last semester and it will tell you more or click HERE) is getting baptized! YEAH!!!! We didn't even know he had started to go to the church. Now his whole family is joining.

I got to see where they grow wax apple! I am really going to miss those! They are the best apples I have ever had.
I even got to see a real water Buffalo. They are sooooooo cute! (How Ka-i!!! That is Chinese for Very cute!)
This may not look comfy since it is wood but you would be surprised at what is comfy to you after sleeping on a blow up mattress for 7 months and a couch for 3 months.

Late but this was Our Easter in Taiwan

Us after a large Easter meal! Fat and Full! What a way to end the day.

For Eater we had a dinner at Nicole and Cody's house. The day before, Nicole and I make these Delicious Eclairs. These were so good and soooooo easy to make. I got the recipe for her if you do want it. On the menu was: cola cooked ham, Funeral potatoes, salad, Fruit salad, and deviled eggs. Oh it was a very yummy dinner. My fruit salad tasted horrible to me but they all said it was good. I think my taste buds must be off. They must be as trunky as I am personally. LOL!
This is the cutest little girl ever. Jadyn was all dresses up in her Easter dress and carried her bunny around everywhere.
Nicole and Andrea relaxing after dinner. They are so cute.

The school that I teach at has never celebrated Easter before! I decided to have an "Easter Celebration" for them. When we got there I had Michael take them all out and have an Easter Egg Hunt while I had the Oldest ones help me in the kitchen to learn to cook American Style. YUMMY!!!!

So, on the menu was:
Ham (lots of it)
Mash Potatoes (restaurant style)
Deviled eggs
a cabbage salad
fruit salad (whipped cream, cream cheese, and Fresh Fruit) YUMMY!!!!!
Rolls

Okay well they LOVED the mash Potatoes and fruit salad so much. They loved everything but those were their favorite! We had a lot of fun!
