We Moved Again

We have moved to Jefferson City, Missouri. We moved the first week in January. David had to run an office here. I'm excited for him and he will be home a little more often. It had a small town feel and everyone is so friendly. I think we will be good here. and plus its closer to our family in Idaho. It's a good 2 day drive.

David went to find a house to rent about two weeks before the big move. We only had two to pick from. So David went ahead without me. He found a great house . It's a older home but its homing. It has 2 brick fireplaces. a big yard. A full basement where Josh has his room.



The Capital Building

We have really enjoyed it here so far. When we first got here the weather was very cold. Below 0. It was a nice change. The kids started school on Tuesday. They all liked their teachers and the other students are more friendly. For Michael , he will be home with me. Missouri doesn't have a free program that Florida did. I'm excited to have him home again.


I will have to send some pictures of the house decorated. BUT, we are without a camera. I found it in the washer machine in my jacket. So yes, we will have to found another. I hope to post some pictures soon, but for now I posted a few updates of the Holidays.

Good-bye Florida


Well, we were in Florida a short time. 12 months to the day. We found some great friends, enjoyed all most everything Florida had to offer. Went to the beach, experienced the everlades, winter camping, enjoyed Cuban food. Jen even learned to cook Italian food from a neighbor, Was apart of many baptisms. Our work must have been fullfilled.

We are happy to be in Missouri. And are excited for new adventures.





Our old house.


Miami.

We got to see the biggest ship in the world.

Camping in December

Our Ward had a camp out the first of December. The weather was perfect. We had a great time. Some good bonding time.




Kyndras good friend Sommer
Our Awesome Bishop

We will sure miss him and his wonderful family. He was helping the turtle get out of the road but first he had to finish peeing. And it took a long time. Then Mike put it in his trunk to show the rest of the crew. He's a crazy guy. We sure love him

My little crew. It was Bella first camp out.
