Our Journey In Texas

We have been in Texas now for 3 years. We have enjoyed our ward and friends here. We have missed our family and mountains and cool crisp air. If we were 1000 miles closer to home I think that we would never leave.  Colton and Ashton have great friends with good qualities. Just what you want your kids to grow up around so that you don't have to worry, as much about what they are doing and where they are. But we are so excited to start our new adventure in Denver Colorado and hope to find friends as good as the ones that we are leaving. They will be hard to replace!

Sweet picture of Aston and Grandma.

They do love their Grandma.

We have been here multiple times and have always quickly passed the camel. But I figured it would be our last time and I was going to feel the camel..... EEEWW it engulfed my entire hand to get the food!

This is about as close as Ashton would go this time. But he did throw it at them!

Aw sweet brothers. Best Buddies!!

See where we are standing. If not I will explain: It is on a bridge above about 30 Alligators that are gathering so that they can get feed. I was afraid the bridge would break (it was not that sturdy) and we would be lunch.

Triceratops Dinosaur Fossil

 Out back playing today in Longview Texas the boys found a.........................

Triceratops Dinosaur Bone.

I'm so Glad when Daddy Comes Home!

I am so glad when Daddy comes home. 

Glad as I can be. 

I jump up on his back and play and wrestle  everyday.

Colton's First Baseball Season

On our way to the game.

 Getting ready for the game to start.

 In the out field. Coach is probably telling him to pay attention. It is hard, I guess, there is dirt to kick, birds in the sky, and people all over the place, 

Oh ya and a baseball game going on, or something like that.

Right field.

After game team meeting.

 Colton's first hit of the season.... it was a home run because he was the last to bat.

Coach showing Colton his position.

 See the boy in front. His name is Payton-first baseman. He is a VERY intense baseball player. In this league all the kids get to bat, and if you are on the opposing team and last to bat, you have a 99.9% chance of getting out and tagged by Payton. He is going to chase you down, even if requires running after you around all the bases and then blocking home plate.

 Up to bat.

 In ready stance just checking out the birds.

On second.

Colton and his coaches.

Trophy- undefeated (they didn't keep score).

RADLEY

Ashton came out looking like bumble bee on his scooter.

The future Micheal Phelps

He wanted to see under water....

Off he goes. I hope that he is delayed in learning how to ride fast, because he may disappear one day and I will find him at the park riding his bike.

Growing up to fast. Trying to ride like his big brother.

Mommy I am stuck!

Cheese!

Coltons Talk on Prophets

Colton gave a talk today in Primary it was on Prophets. I was unable to attend because Ashton was sick with a double ear infection and a yucky cold. So here it will go.

We are blessed to live on the earth when there is a prophet of God to guide us. He tells us the things Heavenly Father wants us to do. President David O. McKay taught us to have family home evening every week. President Ezra Taft Benson taught us to read the Book of Mormon everyday. When we do what the prophet tells us to do the Lord blesses our lives.
