Missionaries, friends, laundry, and swimming

Sister York and Sister King were some of our favorite missionaries while we lived in El Paso.  A great thing about living outside of Utah is that you get to see the missionaries more often.  Our girls loved these sisters.  This particular day it was Sister King's birthday so she got a surprise package from her mom delivered to our house.  So we were lucky enough to have her open it at her lunch time in our home.

 Friends

The Lindsey's were some of our greatest friends while in El Paso.  They sadly had to move away.  We got to trade off watching each others kids.  Our girls became good friends with their son Chris.  These are a couple of pictures of them playing, I mean being silly.

He was such a cute kid!

How can you not love that face?

 Laundry

Aspyn is such a great helper.  She loves helping me do laundry and I am not about to say no when a kid wants to help.  The only down side to this is to be a little more patient.  Who knows what good things can come from this in the future?

Not happy about something

She would frequently say "Mom, I have an idea."

Swimming

Our best friends down in El Paso were the Biesingers.  We would be over at their home at least once a week.  They lived in a community that had a swimming pool.  We would go swimming quite frequently and these are some of the pictures while we were there.

This is what Sophy would do when she was upset with me. 

She would then do silly faces like this to me.

This is my all time favorite picture of Sophy's silly faces.  If you notice you will see she has her eyes crossed.
