At Grandma & Pappy's ~ part 1

We were very busy the 2 week we were in PA ~ with all the last minute wedding details and the cooking and cleaning, plus normal things like laundry for a house of 8 people ~ it was very busy but also very fun! The kids were great and it made for an easy week. Then add in the wedding and the few days we took to relax afterwards...it was a great trip!Eating grandma's chocolate pie!Playing football with pappy! Korey talked about playing football with pappy for weeks before we left! And they did ~ LOTS!!

North Carolina visit ~ July 2010

Well, I wasn't planning to wait over a month to blog! Our lives have been very busy!! We are still in the great state of Texas! I'm picking up where I left off last time! We just got our battery charger back and are able to get the pictures off the camera, so I even found some Mexico pictures I never blogged! ~ After our quick trip to Nebraska for Wesley and Teresa's wedding...And I do mean quick - less than a week, driving straight through both ways, plus all the crazy busy days of right before & after a wedding...we arrived in back home here and started getting ready for our 2nd trip north for my sisters wedding in PA at the end of July! On our way to PA we were able to stop in NC for a few days and see our family there! Here's just a few of my favorite pictures.Kylie (4), Korey (3) & Kamryn (2)

Wesley & Teresa's Wedding

I'm not even sure where to start on catching up with this blog! I guess I'll start with Wesley & Teresa's wedding in June! For some reason all my pictures are not on the computer and I'm not sure where they are!

Its been too long...

since I've updated our blog! Since the last update in June, we've gone to Nebraska for Jonathan's brother's wedding, back to Texas, worked lots of hours, made dresses, buried a dog, went to North Carolina, then to PA, attended and participated in my sister's wedding, and are now getting ready to leave this week to go back to Texas...where more work awaits us! I'm not going to make any promises about updating soon!! =)

Texas

We arrived safely in Texas on Tuesday around 3:00 PM! As much as we didn't want to leave Mexico it was a relief to know we made it safely without any problems! Our kids had some different reactions to being here and I thought I'd share those with you all.

Kylie: "I'm so excited to be in Texas!" and then the next time she says, "I want to go back to Mexico and see our friends. They were sad we had to come to Texas." (She's little mixed up about it all.) She is very happy though and is thrilled to see her toys and dogs!

Korey: We had just barely crossed the border and we told them they were in Texas, he thought about it for a few minutes and then said, "please, please, PLEASE, daddy, take me to Haiti!!!" Yesterday, he was very sad and said, "I won't see Mario ever again." On Sunday we spent the day with our friends in Vera Cruz, during church in the morning, he told Jonathan, "I can't like this church." Jonathan said, Why?, He said "Its not the right place"

Kammy: well, no profound words from her...unless you want to count the screaming that comes from her bed at night. But I'm sure by the time we need to leave to go to Nebraska, she'll be adjusted to Texas! =) So goes the life of a young missionary!

We do have continual praise in our hearts to God for His goodness & mercy in protecting us as we traveled back! There were several close calls with accidents but other than that it was a good trip!
