Birthday Party

We attended a Birthday Party for one of Clay's friends in Lubbock. It is almost a three hour drive from our house. Not a big deal for us, we are used to driving twelve hours to AZ... Here are some cute pics of the kids!

My Family

Here are pictures of my family at my Grandpa's Funeral. It was nice to be all together!

Grandpa

My dear Grandpa Delmar passed away the day after Christmas. I had traveled a very long day that day to get to him and made it two minutes before he passed. I was able to let him know I was there and say my goodbyes. I know he was waiting for me. He has always been my hero. He was a great man who served his family, church and country. He was longtime farmer who worked very hard for his family. He has always been a great example to all of us. We all loved him and miss him dearly. Here are some photos of us with him.

Getting Ready for Christmas

It feels like Christmas now that the tree is decorated and we have had our first snow! The pictures of the snow is around our house! I don't know if I am used to seeing ICE on my cars temperature gage in the morning, but I have gotten used to bundeling up the kids everday. This is my favorite time of the year and I am trying to make it fun for Lauren and Clay by making cookies, reading Christmas stories, decorating, going to the ward Christmas Party and much more!

Halloween

This was a whole new expierance with Halloween this year. It was fun to have two kids fully dressed up, even though Lauren wasn't quite getting why she was missing her bedtime. Clay really understood the true meaning of Halloween this year. We attended the "Trunk or Treat" with our ward. I felt a little homesick knowing we wouldn't be "Trunk or Treating" with our old ward in Buckeye. But those feelings were replaced when I saw my children having a good time.

County Fair

When the county fair comes to town everone in Roswell attends the opening day parade and fair. All schools are let out that day and the town kind of comes to a stop. It is a huge parade and the kids loved it. Clay got to attend the fair another day with his school and got to ride rides and diffrent activities for free. This was his first fieldtrip and I was lucky enough to attend with him. Here are some pictures of us at the parade and later at the fair with Clay's friends.

Moving

Sorry about not having any new posts latley. As you all know we have been in the middle of moving and out of town. This has move has been very time consuming and I am just ready to be settled. We also have not set up internet at our new home, it is hard to get internet service where we live being that we are so far out. Keep checking we will have a new post soon. I hope everyone is doing well!
