HOT PERTATER!

HOlA MI FAMILIA! It is Noelle... I think this is just about the best thing since sliced bread... even though I wasn't around that long ago... Maybe DAD was cuz he's the one turning 5*?!?!? Sorry Pa, just thought I'd add my Happy Birthday to you too since everyone else gets to see you and I don't! I sure am jealous that you all get to be together and at my house! I hope you all fit in there... Sorry there isn't a crib for Maddie! Well, I've recently talked to all of you except Dana, which wasn't too long ago, but sounds like everyone is having a fun summer! Emily visiting Lauren, Dana and Landon graduating and moving!!!, and Mom, Dad, and Cole, hanging out where we all want to be... HOME! I sure miss you all and am dying to see you guys! I feel totally out of the loop being so far away, but it sure is fun to be in sunny California! I'm glad we came out because we are making so many great memories for our first year of marriage! :) Anyway, didn't mean to make this so long... I love you guys and have a fun 4th of July!
Love you guys!

TBS (the big spudola)

I'm sure glad some of us are using SevenSpuds...(like Lauren, Emily and me). Keep it up and the rest of you need to get on the train! It's headed north and, so far, only some of us are on board!
Lauren and Mike...I just noticed your movie review about BREECH. I love espionage movies. I'll try it. And thanks for the b-day greetings!
Emily, I want to send Justin an email. Give me the basics about dearelder.com ok? Do I send it to his mission or what? And how is it listed? Belize?....
See everyone next week!

Update on the family Missionary ;)

Hey fam. I got a letter from Justin today and he seems to be doing good. He says that he is staring to really pick up on his Spanish and is learning a lot every day. He really loves his companion Elder Moe from Independence, Missouri. They seem to be becoming great friends. He says that he can feel us praying for him everyday and he can feel the Lord's love (and mine) pouring out on him.

They had a surprise devotional with Elder Monson and he said that it was amazing to hear him speak and be in his presence. Overall i think things are going along well. Altough he has one complaint...he would love to hear from all of you. :) His adress is....

It doesnt have to be long...just a simple hello and some encouragment! Thanks for all the help and support fam...you all helped get us here! He misses you and says he loves you so show him you love him too :)

Thanks

HAPPY BIRTHDAY POPS!!!

Hey Daddy-o, I hope you have a great birthday! We love you and are so excited to see you soon! Sorry it won't be on your birthday, but close...

The Big Spudola

Hi everybody! I thought I should start things out and say hi and thanks again to Lauren and Emily for setting up spudland! Way to go guys. It looks great! It might take awhile for all of us to get accustomed to our blog but lets work on it! I'd like to suggest that each of us check it at least once a week and leave a short note or two. What a great way to stay connected with one another.

Mom, Cole, and I are looking forward to coming to Noelle's next week for the 4th and see all of you 'cept Zoelle. We'll miss you guys. We're heading out this weekend and spend a little time in Park City just for fun and maybe buy a Sara Lee chocolate cake and blow out a candle in our hotel room for my birthday. One candle is all I need...there's no way to fit the real amount on a Sara Lee!

See you all soon...well, almost all of you.

Love,

TBS

Fun In The Sun!

We took little Maddie swimming this morning. She looks so cute in her poka-dotted swimmer. :) Here is Maddie's precious little butt cheek...so cute. Also one of her sitting on the step, swimming with Mom and Auntie Em and a cute one of Lauren and me!

Night on the Town

On Friday night we met up with Grandma Showell and her friend Ruth. They were on their way to a Celine Dion concert (rock it Grandma!) but we had time for dinner at the Cheesecake Factory in Caesar's Palace. Afterwards, we goofed off at F.A.O. Schwartz... we're still kids at heart!

Auntie Em

Emily came to visit the Andrews fam down in sunny Las Vegas. Maddie is loving all the attention!
