Our New Lives!

This is all new to me but Chris and Jamie called and really wanted me to blog so that we could all keep in touch. I remember before Tammy left St. George she also wanted to help me get set up. I was just lazy and didn't do it. Now that Mike and I have moved and I am so far from everyone, I can see the wisdom in this sight. I miss everyone and love looking at their blogs more and more. Some of you need to update. Hint, Hint!!!

Mike and I have moved from St. George, Utah. Wow! we never thought that would happen. We have moved to Brenham, Texas. Who would have thought! We are now however, closer to Cindy and Donna and their families, and we are enjoying them and their sweet families.

We had lots of help!

Kameha and Donna


Mike and Chris


Jamie and Donna


Mike and I hadn't even been in the Branch a week and we got callings. Mike is 2nd counslor in the YM's and Scoutmaster and I am YW's President. Nothing like jumping in with both feet! And we have all ready been asked to work at the Temple.

We no sooner got here when Mikes Father passed away and so Mike went to Oregon for 3 weeks. I went a little later. Mike's Mother is such an example to me. She understands the plan of salvation and the gospel and is very strong at this time. We pray for her in what is ahead and we know she will do well. We love her.

Cindy, Grandma Knudsen and Jen












We are home now and slowly unpacking. We just keep doing fun things and packing can always be put off. Like we went to the zoo:

Next we went to a Renascence fair. Both of these occations were free so we just had to go. fun, fun!!!

Cindy, Dallas and Lydia road on an Elephant!


We all enjoyed a giant turkey leg. (Karen)


It was almost a big as Elise's head!


Cindy, Dallas and Lydia got to stand with a great warrior!



All in all, we love it here in Texas. We never thought we would ever be here but we are glad we are. We miss everyone and hope that you are all doing well.

Okay mom - so there are a few rules that must be followed when owning a blog.

#1. You must update at least 2-3 times a month
#2. Pictures are recommended; however, not necessary required.
#3. In your case - since I can't get cindy to do a blog - be sure to keep us updated on her as well. Prego belly pictures are always fun!
#4. Because Donna goes to your house - when she's there - make sure she follows these rules as well.
#5. There are consequences for not following the rules ... don't know what they are - but I'm pretty sure you don't want to have to deal with them!

LOVE YOU AND DAD AND DONNA AND CINDY AND THEIR FAMILIES OH SO MUCH!
