Kara, Keven, and Uncle Jonny visited this Buddhist Shrine in the middle of Sri Lanka. They make you take your shoes off out of respect--hot hot! This statue is of a dead Buddha; you can tell because his eyes are open a crack (unlike creepy Megan, normal people sleep with their eyes closed). It's much larger than the picture makes it appear. Don't worry, we made sure we threw our rupees in the donation box.

Favorite uncle????

I object to this "Favorite Uncle" competition. I thought that this contest would be put on hold until all competing parties could be with in spoiling distance of Ella. If this competition is going to continue I insist that I be given some sort of handicap since I am at an obvious disadvantage. I must warn you that if I begin to fall behind in this competition things could get ugly for my competitors. What can I say, desperate times calls for desperate measures. Watch out "Uncle Jon" or I may be cracking more than one coconut.

Favorite Uncle?

This is a close race. Jonny is so much fun and having Keven here is a blast. He plays so cute with Ella. Kevin, you are slowly pulling behind. Where are you?

Ma and Pa

picnic in the backyard

We love having Keven and Kara here! It has been so much fun. Kara even helped Josh and Amy decide to buy a house. Kara has taken over as the favorite aunt. She set up a zipline in the backyard and sent Ella sliding. Anytime they separate, Ella says, "I want MY Kara".

Easter Sunday

We missed those of you who weren't here in Orem for our Easter dinner party. Papa was at work supporting the family as usual, Meggie was playing in Moab, and Kevin and Ginger were too busy protecting our country to be here with us. We miss them so much. Well here are a few pictures from Ella's photo shoot. Enjoy.
