They sure have fun together.

Lilo and her bone, think its big enough! haha!

She chews the smaller ones up too fast

so I got her a big one!

Luke and Annie, 

They are sooo cute!

We went to the Knecht family reunion, Koren and Emma are here with Lewis's Cousins (Lewis is Koren's dad) June, Helen and Beverly, whom we have never met before this day.

We went to a high school in Amanda, Ohio, this is really amazing but they had on the walls, every graduating class from 1919, this one is a picture of Daniel Knecht 1926, Daniel is Koren's grandpa. Daniel is in the far bottom left corner.

This is Emma with a baby donkey named Mrytle.

Yes Emma is riding a donkey!! his name is Jack, and this is on her Great Aunt MonaJean's place, a 125 acre farm.

Emma is giving her Great Aunts the sandwich hug. This is MaryLou, MonaJean and Sharon.

Printelligent Company party, at Lagoon, 

UGH! I hate Lagoon, but it was worth it this time to see Luke enjoy the rides. And watch Emma help him. 

Luke is playing the wii guitar, what a rocker!

Hehe

Luke came to Nana's and grandpa's to play,

we made a blanket tent, read books with a flash

light. We had a fun time. 

Hollie got to meet David Archeleta, who is the second place winner in American Idol. David

happens to be in the same ward as the Elder who baptized me. Brother Hales was David's bishop.

I do believe Hollie enjoyed herself, what do you think?

This is Hollie's good friend Mallory.

Mallory and her family just joined the church.

Hollie introduced the gospel to Mallory, when we

lived in hawaii. So this August we all flew back to Hawaii, where Mallory and her family were baptized. It was so amazing, Mark was privileged to perform the baptism of Mallory and her mother. 

Another bit of great news is that Mallory has come to Utah to go to school and she lives with us.

Little Aaron is getting married. We are excited and overjoyed with his choice, Alma is wonderful. 

This is Tsurukichi, Koren's mothers father. A rare picture that was found, maybe the only one in existence.

Lilo, our new puppy. She is very sweet, and we are now in the process of helping her learn where she needs to go do her business. We are hoping she will catch on quick. Luke went crazy when he saw her. And Emma didn't know until I was at the airport to pick her up, Emma was thrilled.
