Our last time at the farm

Memorial Day

Payson Temple Opening House

While Daddy's Away

Amanda and Taylor's Wedding

Houston, TX

I couldn't be more thankful for the wonderful women who are watching over our babies! Sara Brown, Amanda Pinto, Becca Laing, and especially.  Whitney Rasmussen!! It is hard to leave your little ones but it's a little easier when you know you have amazing, loving women taking care of them! 

Saturday morning we got up and went to the Houston LDS Temple. It is so beautiful! We were able to do a session and after it was done we wanted to go see the baptistery. They snagged us up and we were able to help them for about 40 minutes. We were dying laughing when the guy doing the baptisms said "Ramirez" as "Remmerez". And the older spanish brother that was doing confirmations said it so fast that there wasn't any word separation at all. 

We walked around the outside of the temple and just fell more and more in love with Houston. You could definitely feel the humidity, but it was nice and the temperature was very mild.

We spent the rest of the day driving around, looking at different housing developments and trying to get an idea of where we might want to live.

Sunday morning I woke up and my heart was physically hurting! I had a pain in my chest. I was homesick for my boys. While I was getting ready for church and on our  drive there everything I saw reminded me of the boys. By the time church started I was on the brink of tears. We got a text from Whitney and it was pictures of Harlow and Kelton all in their suits ready to go to church. I burst into tears the instant I saw them. There they are passing the sacrament to us and Nathan has his arm around me and I'm just trying to control my tears and shaking shoulders. 

All the food we ate was delicious and we hear that it will just keep getting better. 

It is so lush and green. You drive on the freeway, on overpasses and the trees come up past and tower over you. You drive down the street and you're going through a tunnel of trees. If you aren't looking at your Google maps you'll drive right past malls and Costco and all these stores because you can't see them on the other side of all those trees.

Nathan did a great job with Halliburton. The guys loved him and we have officially been offered the job! 

We loved Houston! But it's good to be back home with our boys! We are super excited to move to Houston come June 💗

Just another Night chillin with the family

Bowling

We had wanted to go bowling for Harlow's birthday but with all the fun birthday stuff he didn't get a nap and come evening he was a tired, grumpy guy.  So we went for FHE a few days later.  Harlow thought it was a lot of fun but didn't want to wait while Mom and Dad bowled and became a wander, making some new friends.  Kelton was happy, even though he got stuck in the carseat the whole time.  It's been a long time since we've been bowling but we didn't do too terrible.  A bummer, toward the end of our game our lane either shut off or we didn't realize we were bowling our last round...Nathan was in the middle of his bowl and the lights turned off at the end of the lane.  We didn't even get to see our final scores. oh well.  We were ready to head out anyways.

FHE - Harlow's first time bowling

Got a spaghetti dinner all ready and sent Harlow upstairs to tell Daddy that we were ready to eat. Finally realized that I hadn't seen or heard from him in quite awhile. He had gone up and gotten into bed with Nathan and both were conked out.

Who's Cleaning My Teeth?!

 

Harlow and I have been able to help Sara out and be some of her dental hygiene patients.  The appointments are a bit long but she's doing a great job and we like knowing that we're helping her out.  Here's Harlow sporting the Spiderman sunglasses and being such a good patient for his Aunt Sara.
