Some pictures of this week

This week has been a really fun week. Violet and I are getting ready for our big move, and counting down the days till we see Peter again....6. Here are some pictures of what we have been up too. Violet likes to "Honk" Grandpa's nose, here she is getting ready to launch a honking assault.
Grandpa "honks" the loudest of anyone, Violet thinks it is so funny and laughs and screams. Here is her surprised face.

She looks like she is up to no good in this picture.

So much fun.

This is Violet's famous scowl, she really is a cheerful baby, she just likes to make this face!

Grandma Jeanne made Violet a Christmas nightgown, and since we'll be in Texas this year, we decided it needed a test run at Grandma's house.

I've got these two in the wrong order, this is the after dessert picture

And this is before.

Just a few pics

I'm having some posting issues...I'll try again later

Halloween and what we've been up to

I realize that to avoid these mass posts I probablly should give updates more frequently. I also apoligize for the confusion in the order. I guess it kind of goes from most recent to oldest.We had a fun Halloween. Wesley was Bob the Builder adn Sam was a Seahawks fan. We had a ward trunk-or-treat the week before Halloween and then I took Wesley trick-or-treating on Halloween. I went as a Mom in shorts and sandals. Amazing! You can wear summer clothes on Halloween. It is great!

what we've been up to cont.

The boys and I went to the Children's museum in HOuston. Wesley loved to drive this VW van. Wesley also liked to drive this car. I think he is taking Sam to school, or maybe HEB. I forgot.

Sam liked this Mustsang. He's a lot like his brother. ANything with wheels. He even has learned to push cars along as he crawls.

We went to the alligator park with Errin and Brandon. NO fenses, they say you should "be prepared to defend your self, or run away." I vote run away.

Sam loves to feed himself. Here he is eating his stars.

what we've been up to cont.

I am able to post a few pictures again so here goes. We had a great time at Errin and Brandon's wedding. Wesley got to carry cousin Gina's boquet for her. Gina was carrying Voilet who was suppose to "march" with Wesley, and yeah, if you want the full eye witness story talk to Gina. Anyhow, we had a nice time and have been lucky enough to get to spend time with Errin and Brandon since they have been living in Louisiana.
Sam realized that he loves balls at Grandma's. What a cutie.
One of the attempts to get the grand children all looking for a picture. Maybe we'll have better luck now that every one will live close again.

We returned home from Olympia on MOnday night, really late. That Friday Hurricane Ike hit. Our neighborhood was very fortunate and did not sustain very much damage. Lots of leaning trees, oh and we had a little flooding, nothing too big. We just need a new carpet pad.

We evacuated to the Stake Center in College Station. Each family got a class room and a we just camped out. There were a whole bunch of people from the Spanish Branch in Pasedena. They were so kind to us and fed us for every meal. We brought MRE's and were prepared to really rough it, but we were very well off.

He made it!

Peter's in Houston at Emily's house. He's exhausted but everything went smoothly with the drive. I am really glad he's there. I'm sure in the coming weeks we will have a lot of new things happening and we'll keep you posted on when Violet and I are going down.

Thanks Emily and Jonathan for letting Peter stay at your place for a while.

last travel day!

Peter just called and he is in Bowie, TX (as in David Bowie) which is about 5 hours from Houston. So he should be there by 6 pm Houston time.
