We finally made it to Beaumont Texas!! Kev drove out with his friend Reno, it took 24 hours or so, that's why I decided to fly. My mom offered to fly with the kids and I. She is so sweet, I feel so blessed to have her as my mom. It ended up being such a long day for her. We left at 5 a.m. to make it to the airport on time. Not to mention, my mom stayed up until midnight to help me finish packing! We had a layover in Pheonix and then we made it after a 4 1/2 hour flight. We arrived in Houston at 2 in the afternoon, my mom had to get right back on a different flight and go home. I tried to get her to stay for a while but she didn't want to intrude. (we would have loved it though) She had a layover again in Denver and when they were about to land in SLC the pilot decided to wait because there was a storm, so he circled around until it looked clear. I felt so bad, I would have been so sick. She said she was fine, but I don't usually believe anything she says, she never complains!!! I could never have done it without her. I would have been so stressed and sad to leave. She made everything better! I hated leaving her at the gate, I cried and cried (now I'm crying again) I Love you mom, I owe you big!! The picture above is where we will be living for the summer. It's such a beautiful area. We like it a lot. There are so many fun shops and they have a really neat pool at the club house. We haven't had a chance to swim yet but we will soon. It is really humid and warm here, it's not as bad as I thought but it will get worse, we've beeb warned. We met our new ward on Sunday and they are all so nice. It is such a small ward, I think we met everyone already. I feel like we've been here for a long time. I am so happy we have Jodi, Troy, and Reno here to hang out with. Jodi and I hang out during the day and I love her, she is so fun to be with. We can't wait for Mel, Reno's wife to get here and hang with us all day! We miss home and our family and friends so much but we are doing good.
This is Jodi's little guy, Noah. He's a little stud. The boys love him, how could you not? He's got the cutest face ever! You should see him in person, he's even cuter! We're so glad he's here to entertain the boys.
G and West have been getting along better lately, they are so fun to watch. West just follows G around everywhere. He's a little tag-along, and I think G loves it!
Thank goodness we have a Maggie Moo's ice cream shop close by. The boys loved it! It's perfect for the hot weather.
Jodi and I took the kids to a park today. It was fun but we only lasted about a half hour because of the humidity. I think we will be hanging out at the pool a lot more!
West loved going down the slide backwards.
G carried his scooter all the way up FOUR flights of stairs!! I tried to take it for him but he was determined to take it himself. I wish I had a picture of his face when he was done. He never complains about the stairs, sometimes he'll even help me carry groceries up them. He's a good little guy!
