Nauvoo

We recently went to Nauvoo with Dave's sister and brother-in-law. It was a very fun trip and there was so much to see that we are planning to go back. They don't tell you that to get it all in you need 3 days. These are only a few of the buildings that we were able to see. The bottom house next to the Gunsmith shop was actually Carthage Jail. That was a pretty neat experience. You got to see the Dungeon where they were kept first and then taken to the room where they were later Martyred. It was really neat.

Kaitlyn's birthday party with her school friends. It was a little crazy with 12 1st graders in a very small space. We had a lot of fun and I can't believe that she is 7. Where do the years go?

This was a very interesting race. They called it the groundhog race. You run underground. It was fun and warm. We had a great time doing it. This is where dealers hold their vehicles until they need it. Very cool.

This is our new addition. She is 5 months old and her name is Zoey. She is definitely a puppy. Since we lost Scooby the kids have been wanting a new dog and found her at the Humane Society.

She is fun and will hopefully not be as big as Scooby was. She is Lab/English Pointer and should get only to be about 50 lbs.

Moving

I didn't think we would ever find out where we were going next, but we have. We will be returning back to our home in El Paso. The kids are really excited to have their rooms back and not be in the middle of anyone else. It has been an interesting year but we are ready to get to things that are familiar. Dave maybe deploying which is why we decided to try and get back. It is close to family and we know our way around things. Anyway, I have a couple of pictures that have the snow that we had on Saturday. It is amazing the weather we have had around here. The day before it snowed it was 60. We are ready to thaw. Tyler is now sick of the snow and the cold. Anyway, I will write more soon.
