March Fun!!! 2012

This was a fun day, just hanging around in our most AWESOME back yard/resort!

Polly got a basketball for her birthday and so Scott is helping her learn so cool  moves.

So part of the cool move action is Scott pretending to be a 7grade girl player.  He is defending her like she was being defended in the 7th grade.

hahaha this is funny, because it's so true to life.  The 7th grade defensive tactic.

Oh ya now on to tennis.  Polly's got some mad skills.

Scott loves playing tennis with his kids.

Ahh the favored "Andy Rodick" game that they learned in Palm Springs.

alright, alright let the mama get some action in.  We actually weren't a bad team, Polly really can cover the whole court well.

Polly didn't know that I have my own set of mad skills.

Oh yeah!

Looks like an awful lot of meters, wouldn't you say Scott?  He is getting the water pulled to the back for the future apartments there.

Ya you should be happy, with all that work done.  You are amazing!!!!

Lillian got her permit, so now she is a legal driver!!  She is actually very good, and confident.

Polly the supportive sister,  and the happy Lil.

This is the Priest/Laurel formal that the church puts on once a year.  So it's pretty much like prom, just Mormon style

Polly trying out the dessert

Puzzle time.  Sunday afternoon  with Savannah.

And Grandma Sherry

DeWitt being consoled by his papa.  Scott said that DeWitt played one of the best matches of his life!!!  He played Brandon MacMasters.

The line up!

Oh my heck that is a cool serve.

They are playing in Tucson.

Lillian and Savannah both have their permits now.  They are both so excited.

St. Patrick's Day.  Polly working on the green pancakes.

Lillian didn't have green on.  She was frantically trying to draw something on her hand, but DeWitt and Polly were taking full advantage of her and gently pinching her.

Breakfast under the pavilion

could life be better???

Our first meeting with Nicole.  Joshua's fiance.  We had just finished the treasure hunt for the gold!

Polly Bear is 13!!!!

This is actaully the day before Polly's 13th b-day.  She had a big friend party to mark the event.  It looked like everyone had fun.

Unbelievable, can it really be true that my baby is 13???  

Polly is talking with Allison, because she just opened Allison's present, and Allison had called her to wish her a happy birthday.

Polly was so happy that her pony looked like Dallin's pony, Poco

The family party.

Polly's loving parents

The birthday girl!!

Polly is one fantastic girl.  She is so much fun, and fun to be around.  She knows how to make other people feel good about themselves.  She knows how to make people laugh.  She has an amazingly strong testimony of the gospel, and really lives it.  If you ever need a smile, just look for Polly and she will gladly give you one.  Polly we love you and we are so happy that you are apart of our family!!
Happy Brithday

Elder DallinEvans has been transfered again!!! February 21, 2012

Here is Dallin's letter from this week....
I love you peaps:

Thank you dearest family. I love you all so much. It is indescribable the love and support that you provide me, just by knowing you wonderful people are there, and to remember the quality people that you really are.

First let me begin by saying, I´m being transfered... again! Wow how crazy, no. I am going over to cipolete a town right next to Neuquén (it is egual de Safford and Thatcher, right next to each other). I will be with E. Alercon a Chileano that looks like a Peruvian. It is going to be great to have a companion that is excited to work hard. It will be a wonderful change. I am going to leave to go over there in about one hour. So I have to hurry to make it back to our apartment before the other elders do. Elder Hernandez will stay in a trio with the two other Elders of Confulencia Leiva and Zimbleman. They were very ready to get rid of me, but that is ok. Sometimes it turns out that way.

Thank you so much for sharing with me about my little cousin Savannah. I love to hear all that you have told me about her. What a blessing. Tell her that I love her, and know that what she did has the potential to bless her life for the eternities. Wow every week someone has done something awesome. What news I get to hear each week. Lillian keep it up, and remember its ok to lose. The pain is a good thing even though it hurts. Dad the funny man, who is 40 and, "half-retired," I loved the story of your Grandpa and the articles of faith. I had never heard it in such details before. DeWitt is a working man, wow. Mom thank you for being my mom. Argentina has made me realize that out of all the Moms on the earth I would not want another, unless it were you. Polly thank you for sharing your peace of the shire with me. Allison also happy day of love to you as well, thank you. The sisters here for valentines day gave everyone little paper hearts that said lock your hearts on it and a little sugar thing. I honestly forgot until that moment. Thank you for the highlight real Allizión (¿requerde?) and yes I got your letter, letters are great. I want to hear more details about your college life.

We just came from saying good bye to a few people here in Confluencia before I left. It was all very complicated to arange, but it worked out mas o menos in the end. The family Hernandez are so great. We went to go see them last night as the last time that I would see them, but they invited us to a lunch that they made for me, because I was leaving, they also had a few little gifts it was all very nice. We got along really well together, and I am so glade that I had the opportunity to know them, they helped me out a lot; I am just sad that I am going to not be there for their babtism, but I am still going to be in the same district as I was before so I will be able to go see it. Then yesterday we went to go say good-bye to some investigators Daniel and Mirim, who are wonderful. They are progressing so well and are also close to the point of baptizing themselves (baptizarse?). They are so great and have so much interest in what we have to share, that I love sharing what I love with them. Oh another random thing that happened through out the week. I was preposed to by a gypse. The Gitanas (Gypses) sell there daughters, and the daughters are another story. Basically the daughter tryed to get me to buy her, so we left there.

I am so excited to go to work with E. Alercon. We are going to work really hard (a ful, no sé thats what they say).

Love forever Elder Dallin Evans

President and Sister Peterson and Dallin's zone.
