We went to the Jewish memorial in Budapest. The security was like in the airports in the states. Goodness, anything to do with America or Israel and your an automatic target. It was very sad to see the faces of those killed during the 2nd world war.  Posted by Picasa


Hungary Parlament. Is that lovely or what? We got to go into the dome of the building, it was beautiful.  Posted by Picasa


Johnny in subway after a long tiring day. Come on just a few more miles... Posted by Picasa

Johnny with his coffee on the river Danube in Budapest Hu. Oh what a wonderful 2nd honeymoon. Well more like first. It was great.  Posted by Picasa


Dad and Hannah, trying pretty hard to catch one. Good thing that dinner didn't depend on what we caught, we would have all gone to bed hungry.  Posted by Picasa


The boys, well they looked like they knew what they were doing. Joshua did catch the only fish of the day. He was about5 inches long, but none the less a fish.  Posted by Picasa


Here is Hannah after pinning the tail on our homemade donkey, not bad. She is now a big 8 year old, can't believe it.  Posted by Picasa


Joshua took this photo of the brown bear and he was very proud of it too.  Posted by Picasa

So we're home, our very own Blog!!


We got this blog so we can post pictures of the family for all of the other family to see. So you can follow along with how the kids are getting along, they sure are growing. So I'll be posting pics here often, so check back!

Trip to Zagreb to pass out tracts and then a little fun @ the zoo.















We take a trip every other month to a different city in Croatia and do mass tract distribution. We took 16 people to Zagreb and passed out Gospel tracts in the capitol. Afterwards, we went to the Zagreb Zoo and seen all of Johnny's reletives, just joking!! The kids had a ball, it's a small zoo but it does have animals, so it was fun. Joshua and Cody took turns taking pictures so here are some of their photos.




We had a great time. It was hot though. Last time we were here was on Hannah's 5th birthday, she's 8 now.


Here's my guys, aren't they handsom?? Okay Grandmas I want you to see how tall those boys are growing. They're not those little boys you seen last. You would be so proud of them. I'm sure you won't recognize them when we come back to the states next year.
