Random Picture Update

So much has been going on that I need to update this little blog of ours. Here are some pictures. These first ones are from when we came to Texas to check it out. We went to what is called the Kemah Boardwalk. It's a fun place to go and the view was spectacular!

This is the ride that you can go up and it slowly spins around so you can see the whole bay.

Look at my handsome husband!

This is kinda cheesy but it's one of the few good ones from that trip of us together. :)

This is so you can see the size of the pelicans. They are huge! But I love them. We watched them for about and hour....

They fly over the water...

Then dive right into it and come up with a mouth/gull FULL of water and fish! They drain the water out and they are left with all the little fish. It was so fun to watch!

Those are catfish in the water. SO many of them!

This is us in our rental car. It was a Black Dodge Caliber named Steven. Jordin didn't really like him, but I let him pick and it was either this or an ugly Nissan Sentra. (No offense if you have a Sentra- just not our cup of tea.) :)

This was so funny to me, we pulled over in the church parking lot and walked over to this sign to take a picture. You know you are out of the bubble when you see a sign announcing a church coming up.

Okay, this is when we were back in Utah. Jordin's mom came into town and we went swimming at their hotel pool. Look at little miss P-Cakes!

Moving right along, This is now in Colorado on the fourth of July. Jordin's cousin, Tyler, gave us one of these things that you can light and it rises into the air. Have you seen Tangled, it's like that. Eventually it'll burn up and all that comes down is a little wire. It was so SO cool!

I must admit, once Jordin got the bottom igniter lit, all of us (Jordin, his parents, and I) at the same time thought "We just let a flaming balloon-type thing go into the air with no way of controlling where it goes. This could be bad!" Haha! Hindsight, eh?

But it went up, up, and away!

And we watched it sail away until it was a tiny dot and then it burnt itself out. It was WAY cool!
 Alright Fast Forward to this week. We're now in Texas. We found a house that we are renting for a year and we are really liking our decision to move here. Jordin really is loving his job. The people are great and the work he is doing really satisfies him. The social life is still lacking, but the ward looks like it's gonna be good and we're still new, so there's time. :)
P-Cakes was looking particularly adorable a couple days ago and so we played together with the camera.

She's so big! I can't believe it.


Rwarr. She's gonna eat you!

She was so infatuated with the mirror. She's cute and she knows it!

Well, I don't know how much of an actual update those pictures were, but those are all I've taken that can show what's been going on.

Oh! A very important update is that we FINALLY got to see Harry Potter 7.2! We have gone to all the other ones when they open at midnight, but because we are new here we didn't have a babysitter. So today I went to the matinee and Jordin went to the evening one. He's still there in fact. It was SO good! I cried like a baby. Kind of a random way to go see it, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. ;)

Anyway, we're all happy and well. We miss all our friends and family (I especially miss my sister as she went to Burley this week and we're here instead. :( ....Hi, Meg!)

But all is well. Love you all!
