Ralph's day to day life away from home!

Ralph is currently working on his Masters in Nursing Anesthesia.  These are a few of his classmates.  He has been studying hard for all of his exams and is doing really well in school.

I am so PROUD of him!

SEA WORLD!

Oh my!
Shamu!
This is the coolest!

Lucas seems to be enjoying himself.
Dolphins!  He was loving every minute of it!

The end of the day!  After all the rides and shows.  Me and Ralph!
Someone has had quite the day!  Taking a little break! Or Snooze!

We had a wonderful time at Sea World!  Ralph and I had been once before but I had more fun sharing it with my family.  To see little Lucas excitement and my sister's.  She loved the shows just as much as Lucas.  It was a long day but a great day!  Ralph and Chris went on this one ride 5 times in a row!  We enjoyed a couple of water rides as well!  To help cool us off during the heat of the day!  Only in Texas!  

My Family came to Texas!

Lucas is fitting right in with his COWBOYS gear!!!
Hey where did everyone go?
My sister (Lisa) and her husband (Chris) and little Lucas at the Alamo.

I'm so glad my family came to visit me.  I loved being able to take them around and show them some of the sights of Texas.   How could they not want to come and enjoy our beautiful weather?  It is still in the 80's here!  Can't beat that! 

 I can't believe how much Lucas has grown since I last saw him 3 months ago.  He is on the move now!

Time Out for Women / Oct. 24-25

Oh the excitement!  We are so close!  We are next!  Can't believe it!
Finally!  Me, Michael McLean and Heidi!
It wouldn't be the same if there wasn't any singing!  Sharon singing her heart out along with Michael McLean!
Me with Sister Chieko Okazaki!!! LOVE HER!!!

We had a wonderful time at TOFW.  I went with several sister from my new ward.  It was very uplifting.  There were so many wonderful speaker and performers.  We only took pictures Friday night because Saturday was just a zoo.     

FHE / Pumpkin Carving

For the crazy over achievers!  That would be me!  I had no idea it was one of the most challenging ones until I was just about done!
For the Twilight Fans!  Heidi's favorite!  

Too cute!  One is Nathan and the other is Anna.  Nathan's little pumpkin even has two teeth just like him.

We did these the Monday before Halloween!  We had FHE with the Lybberts and carved pumpkins.  We had fun!  Blair did 3 pumpkins in the time it took me to do 1!  

Friends!

Kate, me, Heidi, and Sharon!  
Heidi and Sharon!
Heidi and Blair!
Matt and Kate!

As much as I didn't want to move away from family and friends that I have been around forever. We have made incredible friends in the short time we have been here.  They have made the move here so much better.  We always have tons of fun when we are with them.  I believe more than ever that God puts special people in our lives or along our path just when we need them most.  Thank you all!  Love you bunches!!!  You will never understand how much your friendships have and will mean to us!

Leg Guitar!!!
