Proudly Ghanaian

I've posted some about our family, our expat friends and our international school friends.  Today I wanted to focus on some of our purely Ghanaian experiences which are the true jewel of our trip here.

We had a proudly Ghanaian day at the Area office and here are some of Mark's proudly Ghanaian coworkers.  We didn't get pictures of us that day but we didn't look as fabulous as they did!

The men looked great too.


 For FHE this week we hosted the young single adults in our ward and had a great time!

 We had an Xbox Dance party and we all had a great time and laughed a lot.  


 Here's an impromptu tag game after church with some of our new friends.

Mark works closely with Kwabina (who also is a great friend and lifesaver and drives Mark home from work each day).  His beautiful wife Eunice came to help me prepare a Ghanaian meal of Marinated then fried chicken, Fried Rice, and plantains.  You can't see it well but Mark was proud of his cutting of the pineapple.  Love the pineapple here!

 Lucy and their cute daughter Akosua. 

The beautiful ladies in my Relief Society

Young men's activity at our place where Dylan and Jaxon instructed how to make chocolate chip cookies.

Then of course they headed out for some football while the cookies baked.

We've got our nonresident cards while working on residency status here.  They messed up on Jaxon's and put his nationality as Ghana.  While we like to say we are now African Americans, Jaxon proudly claims it with "proof".

Happy Birthday Jaxon! I can't believe he's 4 years old already. Man how time flies and yet, it's hard to imagine our lives without him. He's getting so big! We are so proud of the little man he's becoming. Lucky boy got to have 4 birthday celebrations: a transformers combined birthday with Bobbi in Star Valley, a pirate birthday party with the Hirschi bunch, Arctic Circle playland with his friends today, and of course birthday morning with his, mom, dad, and Dylan.

She gives the best reactions! Jaxon carefully, slowly opening his gifts. He gave absolutely everyone there a hug as a thanks for the gifts. What a sweetie. Next birthday: my pirate ship cake I'm so proud of. Jax playing pirate games on the computer while waiting for the guests. Dylan our

Merry Christmas! We are so thankful this time of year for all of our many blessings. Mark is thankful to have his MBA and to be done with school forever! He’s also thankful to be working for the church in the Planning Division as a Product Manager. Krista is thankful to be able to stay home with 3 rambunctious boys everyday. She enjoys serving in the Primary Presidency. She was also grateful to get away to Mexico with her hubby in May. Jaxon is 5 and thankful for preschool. He’s getting so smart especially with math J and is constantly trying to learn new things. He’s also thankful for sports, video games, and cutting things out. Dylan is almost 3 and thankful for life. He finds joy in the little things like going shopping, playing outside, and cuddling with mom. He cracks us up with his emerging vocabulary and is convinced his name is spelled DYU (like BYU)! Bradyn is 5 months and I think he is thankful for everything. He’s such a pleasant
