Winds of Change

I won't bore you with all of the details, but here's a quick run down of what we have been up to the past month.

After 4 years we said goodbye to the city of Houston....but not goodbye to Texas. We packed up and moved to Beaumont, TX for Josh to do some relief work for a few months. We miss seeing all of our friends more often, but are grateful for the opportunity and that we are still close enough to come and visit.


Girls Night Out Farewell

Houston was a good sport and made the most of it by creating forts and little houses to play in with all of the boxes.





Our cute little movers were actually a huge help and not only kept Houston entertained, but moved boxes and anything else they could lift. A BIG thank you to both our new and old ward for all of the help in moving.

I had to put these pictures in of Jaxson, because he is so dang cute and chubby! He loves his bath time and kicks up a storm in the tub. I put him in his swimming suit so we could post a video of it, but then he seemed so worried about what was on him, that he didn't kick as much. Oh well, it was worth a shot!




Houston loves to play at our clubhouse and calls it his little house. We are teaching him to play pool, so that he can hussel the people in our complex.




We made trip up to our old neighborhood to clean our condo and visit friends. Houston was so excited to see his friends again and couldn't stop talking about how much fun they had.




We are lucky to have some awesome friends here in Beaumont from Optometry school.

Houston was happy to have new friends to play with and Jacie was so excited to play mommy with Jaxson.

For those of you who know our situation we were thinking about entering the Navy. After some careful deliberation (and government cut-backs) we decided to turn down their offer. We have some fun and exciting decisions to make in the next few months...more winds of change to come.

Cooker,

Did you get my message about Park City? Let me know. My brother talked to his father-in-law as well. Word on the street is they are thinking about going on a mission. Don't know all the details but it could be interesting. So I have 5 words: UTAH! Suck on that Potter!!!

I am glad to hear that you are taking all the changes in stride, I am sure it is frustrating to fly by the seat of your pants. Jaxson is darling and I hate that he will be so big before we get to see him.

It looks like you are getting settled. I love the plan to have Houston hustling!

Good luck with all your decisions.
