Well, we are now in Texas and doing well. We ended up renting my Aunt and Uncle's house and we LOVE IT!! It is very nice with huge yards and a pool!!! YEA!! Both dogs have lost weight and they love being able to run around again!!

We hope to be in Texas for at least 4 years. (So that Larissa can complete high school here!) I still can't believe that she is going into High School this year! The boys (Jacob and Jeremy) will be starting middle school! (6th grade) Boy, where does time go?

Kessiva, aka Kessie, is doing really well. She is finally crawling, but she only crawls on one knee, or she scoots around on her bum. She doesn't like to put her knees on the stone and hardwood floors here, but she loves sliding around on them. She gets mad when we put her on carpet and she can't scoot herself forward on her bum! She started playing the "SO BIG" game with us the other day and she loves sticking out her tongue. She was 8 months old on July 21st!

The boys just turned 12 yesterday! I can't believe that they are that old. It is insane! They will be going to Young Men's Sunday at church. It just blows my mind!

I am doing well. Just trying to get settled here and get all unpacked and moved in. My bathroom is FINALLY done, and there in only ONE box left in my bedroom! YEA!! Kessie's room is the temporary tornado room for now. Don't worry Kessie, I will get to it!!

Todd is in training right now in Oklahoma. He is going to be doing a Captain's job and he is still a lieutenant. So this could be a really good move. He drove home this weekend because he is speaking in church on Sunday. (I get to speak the last Sunday of the month!) Neither of us have calling yet, and this is the longest that I have been in a new ward without a calling. It has been kind of nice to just "go to church"! I like listening to others for a change!

Anyway, got to get back to work. The yard needs a touch up! Thank goodness Uncle Darryl left us his riding lawn mower!! THANX!!

Bye for now and Keep in Touch!!
