New Experience for Mark and Linda

I guess our lives weren't meant to stay calm. We just turned in our mission papers to our Bishop and will leave sometime in the fall for Buenos Aries, Argentina where we will help with the Perpetual Education Fund of the Church for the South American South Area under the direction of our good friend, Elder Mervin Arnold, who served a mission with Mark. I guess he just wants us down there! We are getting excited though, expecially since we have told our families and some friends already. Pray for us!!

Making cookies with Izzi and Addi

Izzy and Addi and I had such fun making sugar cookies. They each had a little rolling pin and rolled out their own dough, except Addi wanted to just roll and roll hers while Izzi cut and put hers into the cookie sheet. Izzi does not like frosting, just like her dad and Addi loves it just like her mom. What fun we had.

Mark and I are in Salt Lake City with our newest grandchild, Livie Tae Zobrist, 3rd daughter of our son Brad and daughter-in-law Melissa. We decided that grandchildren are the reward for raising your own children because they are so much fun and we can spoil them all we want and let their parents deal with it afterwards. We will be returning to Las Vegas tonight so maybe soon I will be able to post some pictures on our new blog. Many thanks to sweet Melissa for helping me set up our blog.
