FALLing into life in Texas

We have officially settled in to our new life here in the great state of Texas. After one year and many life changes (too many to list) the dust has settled and the storms have passed. We are loving the warm fall weather. The kids are enjoying their new school that opened this August and Mark and I are enjoying the fact that it only takes five minutes to get them to school instead of half an hour. Woohoo!

Mark is making his second trip to Utah for the month of October to hunt for the elusive "BUCKS" that taunt him in his dreams. I am holding down the fort and hoping that he comes home empty handed again. I wouldn't mind the jerky (after all it is a lean meat). We are all jealous that he gets to experience Fall in Utah but we know that we will be there soon enough. We can't seem to stay away for long.

The kids are getting ready for their fall CARNIVAL at school and they can barely contain their excitement about dunking their Principal in the Dunk Tank. We have a packed weekend and will post pictures and video at the first of the week. The Primary program is Sunday, we are finishing up the gathering of accessories for Halloween costumes for next weekend and planning our trick or treating routes. Noah is making progress in his journey towards mobility and I am hoping that he stays put! It becomes much harder to manage the little ones once they are on the move. He is enjoying eating real meals and reaches for any and all food items that we put in our mouths.

Luke is staying busy playing, running, tackling, and rock star-ing his way through life. He is constantly inventing new things. His latest invention was an extra long recorder made with the extension for the vacuum hose. Too funny! He is going to be Superman for Halloween and when we arrived home from the store with his costume he promptly declared "I can fly" to which I replied "Uumm, no you can not fly and please don't try it". I know somewhere in that mind of his he was planning to jump off of something to test the cape. Ugh, just the thought!



I am staying busy being a full time MOM and learning to enjoy it. I have cooked, decorated, cleaned, and exercised more in the last four months than I did in the last five years. I am making friends, getting in touch with old friends, and learning that our family members are our best friends.

We are excited for the coming Holiday months and can't wait to experience more of Texas!
