I hope they call me on a mission

This is my youngest brother Ryan and he left to the MTC (missionary Training Center) for my church, (the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)!  I'm so proud of him.  He was so excited to get out there and felt like being at home his life was on hold.  So on September 16th he went to the  MTC and then October 7th he went to the Atlanta, Georgia.  He's serving in Smyrna, Georgia and is really loving the people and making an impact on the lives that he is coming in contact.  He's always been a real people person and he loves to make friends where ever he is.  Sounds like he's just trying to gain the trust of the members there, so that they will refer their friends for him to help teach the gospel.  I love getting his email to the family each week.  Way to go Ry!

Joos visit-July 6th

We spent time with my family on Sunday.  My brother Ryan was leaving for his mission and having his farewell the next Sunday.  It was nice to be able to spend some more time with him before he left.  When we were home last, I said goodbye thinking it would be the last time that I'd see him before he left. (that was like 7 weeks before he was to leave).  Labor day weekend my family was originally going to be up at Mel and Larry's cabin in Island park, but since we ended up coming in town that weekend, they just camped out my parent's house and did fun things all weekend long.  We were able to get in a great dinner of 7-Up Chicken and corn on the cob. MMMM!

Monday Chad and I went to the Eastern Idaho State Fair, look in the future for that post... But then Chad left Monday evening to get back in time for his rotation the next day.

Kherrington and I stayed til Wednesday so we could have some more time with Ry.  It was great to have that time to spend with him.  It was great to see him so excited to just get out in the field.

Kherrington fell asleep and as Grandpa and Mom were talking and watching TV. Here she is in on hand

pajamas from Grandma Joos' stash (leftover for all of her kids).  Isn't it gorgeous!!  It sure came in handy 

when she pooped on the others.
