                                              Here is Matt giving a conference in Francisco Villa.

                                    The team and National partners we worked with in Los Cantaros.

 My mom came and visited us after Thanksgiving.  We had a great time together.  We made a gingerbread village with the girls.  The drop off box and library is for my sister since she works at a library. 

                               The girls had a gymnastics meet.  They both did a great job! 

 Kaitlyn just turned 12 in December.  She had a slumber party.  I made these cupcakes first. 

                                                           Here is the final product. 

                  The girls participated in a Christmas program at church.  Mckenzie is hidden. 

 We had a Christmas party with one of our Bible Study groups.  This was the Kid´s Club. 

                                       Mckenzie is trying to hit the piñata.  Go Mckenzie!

                                               Passing out yummy homeade tamales. 

Our girls were in a wedding of one of our good friends here.  Mckenzie was a flower girl and Kaitlyn helped pass out bubbles.  The girls were beautiful! 

 We like to have fun in school.  We had crazy hair day and inside out/backwards day.

 Matt attended a Men´s retreat.  They had a really good turn out. 

 Kaitlyn winning a ribbon in gymnastics.

 Mckenzie and her friend Matthew.

Matt cooking hamburgers for all of us at the prayer retreat.  They were really good! 

 They had Karaoke night at our prayer retreat.  So, a group of friends and I got up and sang.  It was all for fun.  We laughed hard that night! 

 Kaitlyn and Mckenzie really enjoyed the VBS songs at our prayer retreat.  The top picture is of Kaitlyn and her friend Esther really enjoying the songs together. 

These last two pictures are a kids club that I help with on Wed. nights while Matt is leading an adult Bible study inside.  They are a great group of kids! 

 We took Grammy to Fun Mountain in GDL.  We played miniature golf and the girls rode bumber boats/cars.  We all had a great time.

 We went to Tlaquepaque.  It is a shopping town.  We found lots of goodies and had fun at the same time. 

                                                Our 4th of July picture

Matt and I went to Puerto Vallarta for our anniversary.  This is where we snorkeled.  It was beautiful! 

This is where we take our water bottles to be filled.  They clean the bottles and then fill them up.  Very interesting system. 

Matt had a jello cake for his birthday. Yes, the girls gave him a ¨mordita¨. (little bite) That is the custom here for birthdays.

The girls love gymnastics! At the end of the month, the center gives out ribbons for the top 2 in each class. Feb., the girls both got a ribbon for the top 2 in their class. They are doing a great job!
