Miss you Nic


Eric's little bro Nic is all grown up and down at the mtc. Payton and Eric made the trek to see him off. Funny thing (i think) Payton said we should go get him back from there and hide him out for 2 years at our house. He really loves nic they have a great relationship. Payton has already drawn him a few pictures and a letter. Payton is a little unsure about a mission at this time because he feels bad for leaving his family behind, but im sure with age he will learn the importance of sharing the gospel on a mission. Elli shed a few tears when he came and said bye to her, and the next day she said nic forgot to come to lunch with me at school maybe he will come home and go one more time with me. In a few years Elli. As for Hudson "Goose" as Nic would call him he is a little clueless but will really be grown up when he gets back. And as for Nic he better keep our secret. Your a great example Nic you will be a great missionary!!!

Cali trip


We took our trip to San Diego and we have been home a few weeks and i am barely getting to posting it. Life just gets to crazy and not to mention the count down is so on i have 5 weeks left (according to the doctor). So our trip it was so fun and so needed, it was hilarious on the plane as it was taking off Hudson yelled "holy cow, holy cow" so loud, he had the people by us laughing hysterically. We got so many eyes in the airport a very prego lady with 3 excited kids and a poor husband carrying 5 suitcases and a car seat. Once we got settled the fun began we hit the beach and i didn't do the sunscreen thing so we all got fried the first day we were there. We ment up with some old friends and had a blast. The fun continued everyday and didn't stop until it was bed time. We went to sea world and Payton was asked to be the child helper for the believe show he got to go down and pet shamu and do a wave thing it totally made his year. We went to Lego land and i loved it! It was perfect for the kids they liked that the best too. we went to wild animal kingdom i really wouldn't suggest that- its a rediculous amount of money and the animals are so far away just a glorified zoo. Payton and Eric went touring on a airline craft carrier on the water while me, Elli and Hudson went shopping. We swam eveyday and tried to get to the beach as often as we could. The weather was awesome and it was good to do a family trip with the 5 of us. I posted a few pictures for all to enjoy!
