Ohhhh BOY!

We just added another BOY to the family!

Here's our new little bundle of joy!

Still no name because we can't seem to agree...we all

have our picks but nothing seems to fit yet.

WE are so excited though!
He's a handsome miniature schnauzer, mostly black with silver/white beard, eyebrows, legs and feet! What a handsome boy you are!

Kaden goes on Trek!

Kaden left on trek on Wednesday...here's some of our

ward members ready to roll!
He was so sure about the sombrero in Utah...
here in TX not so much! He took it anyways and said
upon return that he had lots of compliments on his hat and
even his "Pa" wanted to wear it for a day because it was so cool!

After photos...HE SURVIVED! In fact, not a single bug bite or blister!

I was so happy to have him back home though. He absolutely LOVED it!

He said his family was so great and that they didn't lose anyone and that they

all worked really hard together and made it as a whole family! He said today (Saturday) that he was feeling "HOMESICK" for his Trek Family! Ahhh...that is AWESOME!

Those strong feet kept him walking and walking

and walking! I'm still amazed NO BUG BITES~

Thank you to Kaden's Ma and Pa for providing

a loving, spiritual atmosphere for him to have

such a WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE~

p.s. All you Draperites...you should feel so blessed to be going on TREK!!!

Garrett Scout Camp

I failed to take any photos of Garrett as he left for Scout Camp. He did not have the most fun ever! He went to camp Cherokee which is a great camp only there were horrible thunderstorms that week and they ended up getting 15 inches of rain in about 2 days! Yikes! He was completely rained out. All his gear, tent, clothes, sleeping bag, you name it was SOAKED~ But atleast he made some memories, maybe some he'd rather not live again but still he's got some :)

Welcome to Texas!

The boys that thought the windows being

down was so fun...for about the first hour!

Needless to say the next 5 hours weren't near as fun!

It wasn't long after this photo that the a/c in the van went out!

Oh boy!!! What a welcome to Texas we had! A very hot, hot welcome.

Last Sunday Dinner at Grandma & Grandpa's

We had one last Sunday dinner at Mom's house on Sunday.

It was so great but so sad too. We sure love you Mom and Ross and are so grateful for you in our lives. Come visit us lots and lots! We will miss being so close to you.

We had such a great time on our Memorial day hike with the Amakasu and Flower families. We hiked quite the route up and around to Ghost Falls. It was such a great hike and all the kiddos made it! I couldn't believe even the little boys all hiked! What a great way to spend one of our last days in Draper! We love you Amakasu's and Flowers!

Mommy Daughter Activity

Ellerie and I enjoyed our Mommy/Daughter Activity night right before we moved. It was a pajama party with lots of fun activites. Bling strands in the hair, nails painted, hair flowers, karaoke and yummy treats! We had such a fun time!
