Our New Life in KANSAS



I have been wanting to post some pictures for some time now but I couldn't find the box with my camera cord in it! Now that it has been found, I'm going to give just a little update. We left our home sweet home in IDAHO on Friday August 14 and headed on a LONG move to Kansas. We gave ourselves two days to travel and both days were just driving ALL DAY LONG!! Part of the reason it took so long was the moving truck was so slow. We stayed in a hotel in Laramie WY Friday night and then got back up and headed out Saturday morning to finish the other half of the drive. Monte called our new Bishop to let him know we were on our way and he said he would have people ready for us. When we arrived at 8 that night we had 6 ready and willing men from the ward there to help us. It was so great. We were exhausted from such a long drive and it would have taken us forever to unload that massive truck.

Sunday church started at 8:30 which was 7:30 Idaho time!! It was a killer! But church was great and there were lots of friendly people. One Sister came up to me after church and asked if we had a fridge-which we didn't- and offered to bring us dinner. It was so nice.

Anyway, I could go on, but I would be up all night. Here are some pictures of our house and what we have been up to the last couple of weeks.



Monte got a NEW GRILL from my parents for his birthday!! Its been fun great to have-we have used it 3 times already this week!

The girls love being outside. It is so nice to just let them play and not worry they will wonder off or fall into a ditch.

GAME DAY!!

Makayla is such a fun, cute and good little girl. I cannot believe how much she is looking like a toddler now. I miss my little baby! She is getting so good at saying little words. This week she learned how to say "Nanny"


We have been super busy with work since we got here but things are supposed to start slowing down here soon. Its been crazy learning everything and getting all the office work done! We enjoy Kansas so far and hope to have a great and successful future here!
