Verent Ova! Viret Perna!

Benjamin has begun studying Latin this year and he wrote to his Dad about loving his Latin class. When we went to the zoo last week he was able to read "Gray Wolf" in latin and tell he then told me "White Wolf" in latin. Incredibly cool! Nathan sent Ben a gift of "Green Eggs and Ham" in latin and after Ben opened it he ran to his room and got his english version and read them side by side.

Hales's Slumber Party!

Karin and John Hales are a part of the Kline family. Their children, Robert, Ashley, Brianna, and Andrew travel with Mom and Dad each summer to New York to participate in the Hill Cumorah Pageant and they visit friends and relatives along the way. We had fun letting the cousins make new memories together and had a gigantic slumber party. We watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Ben and Andrew played video games and watched t.v. in another room. Pizza, Feeding our Ball Python, Swinging Jared, Snuggling Jared, and Reading to Jared, and cooking were just a few highlights. Karen and John went out and saw the movie Bourne Ultimatum. John also fixed my computer and gave it a good, stern talking to about it overheating and not having enough hard drive. To which, my computer obediently compressed itself and hooked up with an external drive buddy and brushed itself off and apologized! Happy Me!

Jared's summer time fun!

Jared loves to wear goggles around the house, the yard and has even been seen at church sporting his "glasses".

"Mommy, I want to cut!" I had strawberries handy so I gave him a few with a child safe knife and he was actually a great chopper!

We saw people but not many places

Dee Winters served in the same mission that Nathan did and we've kept in touch over the years. She remembers Benjamin as a little one year old having fun with all of our empty boxes as we were moving into the Ronald McDonald House in June of 1999. She reminded me that we loaded him into a box and passed him around between the three of us and whenever one of us passed him to Nathan, he would shoot him across the carpet so fast that Benjamin would roll out of the box laughing his head off.
