Elder Manning's Pics and Blog

James Manning (Chile Santiago North Mission)

As most of you already know, my brother James is serving in the Chile Santiago North Mission. He assigned me the great privilege of maintaining his blog while he is gone. I post his emails and any pictures that he happens to send home. It's actually been really fun, as I've been able to read all of his letters and really feel a part of his mission.

6 Years!

I can hardly believe it's been that long! Our anniversary is Saturday. We want to do something here in town, but we don't know exactly what-something really fun and reasonably priced. Anyone have any ideas?

Saturday Night

Bryan's long lost friends Tad and Bill came over for dinner and games. Bill's wife Mariet and his son Isaiah came too. It was fun for me getting to know them and especially fun for Bryan catching up with them. Tad's wife and 2 daughters live in Washington, he is down here for work.
This is Tate and Bill's son Isaiah. They had fun playing together!

Who Nose?

Whose Nose is Whose Quiz

So, we have been having a problem with Tate picking his nose lately. Trying to get him to stop-I told him that if he continues he will have a GRANDPA NOSE! His eyes got really big and he just kept saying, "Grandpa Nose" over and over again.

About two days later we went to the store. As I was buying the groceries, Tate screamed out at the top of his lungs, "I want a Grandpa nose"! I was completely embarrased as the check-out lady just stared in awe.

A few days past, and I had recovered from the embarrasement. Tate was looking at me for a while, just thinking. Then he burst out, "Mommy has a Grandpa Larry Nose"! It was soooo funny.

Go on, take a shot at it-Whose nose is whose?

In a Nutshell

Things I have learned from building a swimming pool:

1. It is a HUGE ordeal
2. It is a very long process, with lots of details involved
3. It is so worth it!
4. SUNKISS POOLS Rocks!

Tyler's Cool Night Pics!

I hope Tyler doesn't mind me using these. He took these pictures on a full moon night. If you look closely, you can actually see the stars! I think it is VERY COOL!

Brocolli Ear, More Onions! & Where is Heaven?

Are garden is growing, actually we have little baby brocolli, they are so cute. Bryan was watching Tate on Saturday when he picked one of them, and was looking for a place to put it. He ended up sticking it in his ear and running around the backyard like a crazy mohican. I hear it was pretty funny!

We've been trying to eat more healthy lately-more salads, beans, whole wheat bread, etc. When given a salad, Tate will first pick out all of the onions and eat them! Next he will ask for more onions please! Then he will ask for more onions please! And finally he will ask for more onions please! I don't know what it is about onions, but Tate sure likes them-ALOT!

Yesterday Tate asked me, " Where is Jesus"? I told him that Jesus is in heaven. He then asked me, "Where is Heavenly Father"? I told him that he is in heaven too. Then Tate asked, "Where is heaven Mommy"? How do you explain to a 2 1/2 year old were heaven is? I told him that heaven is far away up by the stars. That seemed to satisfy him. It's cool to know that even though it seems like he is NEVER listening to us, he is grasping a little bit!
