Can you tell which two teeth are fake? Unfortunately, 3 of our 4 children inherited missing teeth from me! They are all missing their laterals. "Back in the day", they just pulled my teeth all the way forward. Now, they line up all the teeth and create a space to insert the fake teeth attached to a retainer. When Skyler is done growing, he can have teeth implants put in. Anway, we think our Orthodonist is awesome. He did a great job, and Skyler is more handsome than ever!
Skyler completed his Eagle Project last weekend! Thanks to all those that came to help! It was HOT, and with everyone's help we painted 108 fire hydrants in a couple of hours! I am proud of Skyler for doing a good job at organizing the whole project. 
This is a picture of my dad working in his office of the Cauayan City Mission. He works long hours and has tremendous responsibilities to help keep the mission running smoothly. I am proud of him. It isn't easy to keep the power running, the bills paid, all the books balanced, and all the housing managed for the missionaries, among other things. He truly has become a "Jack of all trades"!
This is a picture of my parents (far left) with some of the other mission leaders. Their mission president is the fourth man from the right and his wife is next to him. My parents LOVE and ADMIRE the Villanuevas so much. They are incredible people. My mom says that the mission presidents laugh can brighten even the darkest day, and that the mission president enjoys my Dad.
This is a picture of my mom with some of the sister missionaries that were serving in the Alicia Branch. They were having a lunch together. They are so LUCKY to have my parents serving with them. My parents love the missionaries and want the best for them!
I absolutely LOVE this picture of my dad with the Philippino people! It is a great missionary picture! I guess my dad was cracking everyone up because there was a pig in the yard and my dad was speaking in his Donald Duck voice to the pig. They thought it was the funniest thing they had heard. You can see the tickled look on my Dad's face! I LOVE YOU MOM AND DAD!!! I am so grateful for your example to me and your grandkids!!!
I think the dog has more pics these days than the kids, but who can resist?! He loves to find someone to curl up next to and take a snooze. Since Starlee can be found falling asleep in the middle of the house the most lately, we find Winston usually curled up next to her legs.
This summer we have only had all of our kids under the same roof a handful of times! It felt so good on Monday night to all be together...even the dog! Jeni joined us (enjoying some macaroni salad!!!) and she made our new favorite treat--coconut fro yo with fresh lime juice, raspberries and toasted coconut on top! She makes it with greek yogurt! Not only is it yummy, but it is healthy too. We pretty much staged this picture. The lesson really took place in the house later, but we had fun joking about it. I love summer!
My brother Matt and his wife Jill have provided us with another beautiful niece and cousin. We are so excited that she is here and healthy! They have named her Sena Starley. As you can tell, Aspen didn't want to share her with anyone. Aspen really should have been the oldest child since she is a "little mother" and loves babies. It is nice that Scott and I have brothers and sisters that are still having babies so that Aspen can get her fill of little ones since we won't be helping in that area any more.
