Goodbye Spring Creek

Too much stress cannot be placed upon the importance of sharing your ideas with your friends. In Of Friendship (De amicitia), Cicero recounts an old saying common among the Romans: “If a man should ascend alone into heaven and behold clearly the structure of the universe and the beauty of the stars, there would be no pleasure for him in the awe-inspiring sight, which would have filled him with delight if he had had someone to whom he could describe what he had seen. Thus nature, loving nothing solitary, always strives for some sort of support, and man’s best support is a very dear friend” (De amicitia, 88).

We will miss Spring Creek. We will especcially miss living by Roxi, Ephraim, kids, Grandma and grandpa. I guess grandma and grandpa are gone on their mission anyway. They entered the MTC Monday Dec29. They fly to New Delhi, India on the 9th. But we will miss Rox, Eph, and their kids. We will also miss our nice house and most definatedly Lauras school. Her teacher Mrs. Kathy Mcleod was a blessing for Laurita. Here are some pictures to remind us of good old SC.

On The Road Again

Zeb and Daisy are on the move once more. But this time we are not only dragging an extra little Weeks, but the United States government is not paying a company to move our stuff for us. We got a 27' U-Hall and Zeb filled every little space of it. The day we moved was a very snowy one. Driving from Elko to Rexburg should take about 5 1/2 to 6 hours. It took us 8 hours. But hey, we made it safely. Good bye Spring Creek, hello Rexburg!

Mateo's Birthday

December 30th little sweetie pie Mateo turned Three!!! I love him sooo much. He is so grown up now.

His birthday came right after we had a hurricane of cousins so, lucky for me he loves pizza. Travis was the only one who was able to come. Mateo is now officially potty trained. I kept waiting and waiting to potty train him for this reason or that reason and when I finally got around to doing it he was so ready that it only took about two days or so. Mateo is very Hilarious and since he now talks pretty clearly his funny reasoning cracks us up. I love three year olds.

Lauras B-Day

November 30th was Lauras Birthday!!! She turned seven. I cannot believe it!!! Laura is a blessing to me. She helps me with the kids more than I even know. She has taught lot's and lot's of things to her sister Claudia. When I started teaching Claudia how to read, she was way ahead than I expected thanks to Laura. Laura is also an amazing big sister to Titus. She takeas care of him like an adult would. She is also a great reader and did VERY WELL in school at Spring Creek. We are soooo proud of you Laura!

A Day at the Park

There is a Marina by our house. We should go to it more often. It is very fun. The other day we went to feed the ducks and then went to the park. The kids had a blast!!! We laughed our heds off at Mateo because when he would throw the bread at the ducks he would drop half of the bread crums in the hood of his jacket. It was the funniest thing. Titus had the most fun. Oh! The good old days. Snore, Snore. I should probably get a picture of the marina before we move. It is very pretty.
