Happy Birthday Party for Beckham, Aniston & Ella

We had a great b-day party for the three one year olds. We enjoyed some fire roasted hot dogs, watching the kids eat cupcakes in kid style, & chatting of course. To finish it off we had a heated, uneven game of team #1 booty kickin' kickball. Great Family, Great Memories!! Love to ALL!!

Does anyone have a carseat I could use for Ava for 8 weeks? I hate to haul hers clear around the world again! Also, is the booster I left at Mom's still there so I can use it for Stelly? Let me know gals. Thanks, I've been impatiently waiting for some more blog posts@! Joce

The Darby's Little Ray of Sunshine!

This was Alton on Mother's Day. It was finally warm enough to wear the cute outfit Muno gave him at one of my showers.
He Loves Mickey Mouse(Thanks to the TV show Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) and this was taken right after we gave him a stuffed Mickey Mouse that we got for our future kids back in October of 2004!

American Idol!!!!!

There are some sad girls at our house. They were so let down when Cook won. I sort of figured that would be the outcome, but they sure had their hopes up. Love to all! Joce

Vesak Day in Singapore!

Last Saturday our neighborhood and a huge yard sale, all the families with 2 kids getting rid of their barely used stuff that are moving back to the states. As you can see we made a haul! Mostly books for the kids, but a few other treasures as well. The other to photos are today. We were off work and school for Budha's birthday. We'll take a holiday whenever we can get it! We had a fun day together as a family. We took the girls on this hike to Faber Mountain. We walked across this great bridge that looks like a giant golden snake when it's lit up at night. Then we went swimming at the fun condo pool of Spen's work buddy. When we got home we ordered pizza for dinner. It is so nice to have a day off all together. It was fun talking to some of you this morning. Love you all so much!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!

Just want all the moms to know how great you all are and how grateful I am to have your examples in my life. Have a wonderful day and remember we are doing the most important work -- raising our sweet children who call us MOM!! Love you all

Fun with the Monkeys!

This was a great place to spend a Sunday afternoon! So crazy to be surrounded by monkeys, and such a beautiful setting. And of course I had to add Stelly thinking she's all that with her new $1 cell phone purchased at the "Junk shop" in Indonesia along with little pretend hamsters for all the girls.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR CUTE MUFF!!!!

Our trip to Indonesia

All the kids together, 10 in all!
Some more gorgeous sunsets!
This is the pool We had our driver take us to a school. We were able to buy a bunch of school supplies and balls and candy and we took it to them. We sang songs with them and taught them Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes, If your Happy and You Know It, and some others. The kids whined the whole way to the school that they wanted to go back and swim, but after they said, " We are so glad we went there, that was the best part of the trip. We can swim anytime!" The little Indonesian kids were so cute!

We had such a great time with the Escher family on our 3 day trip. We took a ferry from Singapore. It was a much nicer place than in Malaysia, more like a resort. The kids had so much fun swimming and playing, but the school was definately the highlight. We got back Saturday night just in time to go to church to be sustained as Primary President and Spen as 1st counselor in the Young Mens! Goodybye free time, Hello blessings! Right?!
