After a long day Mckenzie was exhausted and sacked out on daddy.

The girls have started swim lessons and they love them. They are both doing great. Kaitlyn can swim on her own now and is just working on perfecting her skills. Mckenzie is getting better all the time and loves going now. Wow that is a huge blessing as she cried a lot at the start.

This first pictures are of Kaitlyn at classes and Mckenzie's pictures are next.

Mckenzie loves her swim lessons also. Here is a few pictures of her swimming along with a short video. Enjoy!

This is the video of Mckenzie going under water.

Just some fun pictures of Mckenzie at swim classes.

A couple of weeks ago we got to go to our Annual General Meeting. This is a meeting focused on worshiping our God in English. Wow we had a blast worshiping God in our native tongue with a group of missionaries and a team from the US. We also had a chance to discuss church planting ideas and to have a whole lot of fun. The first day we stopped by a store that carries many US brands and types of food. One of the things the girls found was Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream and as you can see they couldn't wait for bowls they just dug right in.  Aunt Laura is in the photo with Kandi and Kaitlyn and Aunt Kim is in the photo on her own.

Along with worshiping and having fun at the Annual Meeting we got to make new friends and see old friends again.

While at the Annual Meeting Kandi, Kim and I also hosted a family game night. We used an Amazing Race theme and everyone had a lot of fun. We had 5 stations/games for the teams. They had to make a pyramid blindfolded, they had to eat doughnuts on a string, they had to stuff marshmallows in their mouth and say chubby bunny, the kids got to give their parents a drink while they could not see anything, and finally each team got to sing Amazing Grace to the tune of Gilligan's Island. We had a lot of fun.

During the Meeting the kids also had a great chance to show off their talents during the talent show on the last night. Several kids got up on the stage and preformed and they were all great. The show was complete with 3 judges (like American Idol) that the kids had to hear comments from after they preformed. The judges were different in the fact that they only had good christian positive feedback to offer. The show was great and it was fun to see how much talent the kids have. Bowden (pic below) told his favorite Bible verse and Abby and Caroline sang and played their favorite song. 

Kaitlyn also sang "Open the Eyes of My Heart Lord" from memory while her VBS teacher played it on the piano. Check out the video below.

After she finished singing Kaitlyn had to make her way to the judges and get her comments. They loved the song along with everyone else.

After the meeting we stopped by HEB (a grocery store that carries many US brands and types of food). We found several treats that we can't get in Guadalajara and we were like kids in a candy store. 

The girls were having a lot of fun and enjoying picking out food.

We found canned biscuits and cinnamon rolls. We can and do make biscuits on our own but the taste of those canned ones are just a little taste of home.

The girls were thrilled to find pizza rolls, curly fries and tator tots. Kandi and I were thrilled to find the biscuits, french onion dip, and cool whip.

Mckenzie is just hanging out with the Haynes' and Aunt Kim having fun. I think they might be trying to turn her into a gangster.
