Well, today we’re back home now (although it feels good to be back in our own house after all that travel). We left Texas yesterday and drove to Dallas to the temple there. The freeways were incredibly hard to follow. The signs aren’t posted until right before road splits, and I always seemed to be […]
Happy New Year everybody!!! We are excited for a great up and coming 2012! Today we slept in (church was at 11) and I especially enjoyed not having to go to any early morning meetings! 🙂 We ate breakfast and then got ready to go to church. The kids were a little nervous to go
The last couple of days have been wonderful! The weather has been AWESOME (in the 70s) and we have really enjoyed going outside, relaxing and enjoying our time with family. We could definitely handle this kind of weather all year round! 🙂 The kids went for walks all over, fed horses, and they did some
This morning we got up early and headed out! We were excited to get to Texas and get our driving over with. What the kids didn’t realize is that once we got into Texas, we still had about a 5 hour drive to get to where we were going! 🙂 We crossed the state line
This morning we left very early and started our drive to Texas! We are going down to Harker Heights to visit Jeremy and D’Neill and their family (Angela’s Brother). It’s about a 17 hour drive down, but we decided to make some stops along the way and have some fun! Our first stop was in
Merry Christmas, everyone! This morning we got up early, got dressed for church, and then all went down to see what Santa had brought! It is always fun to see the excitement on the kid’s faces on Christmas morning. They love to be happy and we love it when they’re happy! I think the kids
As always, tonight we had a GREAT Christmas Eve! As in years past, we had a great dinner, caroling, and nativity! We got together with 3 other couples and their families for dinner and had a wonderful spread! By the time we finished eating, we weren’t sure if we could walk out to the cars
Tonight, Kirstyn and I went to the second night of the Collage Concert at Metea. Again, all the groups sounded outstanding and did a GREAT job! It was a little more relaxing because Kirstyn and I didn’t have to worry about the boys making noise. 🙂 The Severn family in our ward sat by us.
Tonight, Kirstyn had her Still Middle School honors concert with all the top performing groups. She played her clarinet wonderfully well. She wishes she was also in the Honors Chorus, but that’s OK. She’s doing a great job with band, and if she was in Honors Chorus too, she would be going to school early
Welcome Black Friday! For some VERY STRANGE reason, the girls were totally excited to get up early and go shopping! 😐 They left at about 4:30am by themselves. Angela stewed about this for awhile. She couldn’t sleep with them out by themselves so she got up, got dressed, and went and found them. They had
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!! We hope you had a wonderful day today! Angela and Brittany started off the day healthy and well! They got up early and went to our Stake President’s house (Scott Clark). He hosts a Thanksgiving Day neighborhood 5k run which is becoming quite popular. There were quite a few people there this
Today was a pretty busy day! Kirstyn had her Engineering Program (EEP) at NIU in Naperville and was very excited to go. She loves all the activities that they do, and is excited to become an Architectural Engineer herself! 🙂 After she got done, Kirstyn and I joined the rest of the herd over at
