Catching Up

We are here in Texas and absolutely loving it. We are all getting settled in our routines and I thought I would just include pictures from the last few months. Enjoy.

David was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society at the end of 6th grade. He worked hard for this honor and we are really proud of him.




We tried to get a lot of swimming in before we moved. We swam a lot in our pool and Grandma and Grandpa's neighborhood pool.



We celebrated Machella's 10th birthday the weekend before we moved. It was a lot of fun. We had to go and get BBQ chicken wings for lunch. Machella loves anything BBQ, especially ribs and chicken wings.


We flew to Texas instead of driving and all the kids loved it. It was the first plane ride for Elyssa and Joshua.


One of the first first things we did when we got to Texas was to take the kids to the Dallas Temple. Donnie proposed to me on the temple grounds and we were sealed there 13 1/2 years ago. The kids thought it was pretty fun to hear about Donnie's proposal and see the bench where it happened. This is where it all started. I can't believe 13 1/2 years later we are back in Texas with 4 kids in tow. We had no idea then what adventures we would have but it has been so worth it and I wouldn't want to have them with anyone else.
