The Big 8!

I still can't believe that my girls are 8 and are getting baptized this Saturday! Abby and Gwyn has been so excited about this and can not wait till Saturday! They have been practicing with Nate and are more than ready for this big step! I had so much fun taking these photos of the girls and love being behind the camera again!

Japan!

Here we are eating yummy noddles!
This is at Tokyo airport! It was like 2am for us!
Long plan ride with 6 kids!

Yes we live in japan and I have not posted anything for a long time! I have been kind of busy! It all began when Nate was talking about japan 18 months ago! I thought it would be a great idea and how much fun it would be! Now that we are here we are excited but its been very very busy! Living in a hotel for 10 weeks with 6 kids was so difficult and frustrating most of the time and not having a car and not knowing very many people! We are in a small branch that has alot of young couples and quite a few kids! I think most of them think we are crazy for having 6 kids in 7 years and that we decided to move all the way to japan! Nathan and I were able to go to the Tokyo temple last month and what an amazing experience that was! How cool is it to be in a place that everyone around you speaks a different language and still you can feel the spirit so strong! I love the people here. Can I just say that one more time? I love the people here! They are so sweet and kind and my self esteem has gone way up! The women here that can speak English always tell me how beautiful I am and how I don't need to be skinny and wear makeup! We went to this Korean barbecue last weekend and I cant believe the place is still standing! The place had staples in the floor to keep it together and no fans in the place! I was dying from all the smoke and Nate loved it because you get to eat all you want in 90 min! It cost about 2800 yen which is about $30.00 per person!
