SUCH EXCITING GOING ONS!!!!

1. Evalynn was sealed to us on Oct 17th in the Mesa, Arizona Temple. What a wonderful experience-and she slept through it, waking up just in time to give everyone hugs. We then blessed her at Mom & Dad Roberts house and had some YUMMY lunch! A HUGE thank you to Mom & Dad Roberts for letting us use their home and providing most of the food! WE LOVE YOU!

2. Evalynn has a baby brother! Her birth mom, Jesse, had a baby boy on Oct 10th. His name is Elijah James and he is such a cutie!!!!

3. I heard through the grapevine that my brother Jorden and his girlfriend Kristie will be tying the knot by the end of the year-YEAH!

4. Spencer got to work security at a movie set in Las Cruces for a movie called Due Date that comes out next year. Sorry-no autographs from the stars-bummer!

Hope you are all doing well! We are getting excited around here for the Holidays!!!

HELLO!

We know you are still out there and someday we will have internet at home-when we find a company that does it at our new house!

E now has 8 teeth and is going to be 15 months old on the 7th. She loves to climb, run, and play in the yard, especially on her new swing.

Spencer is still working hard and helping put a new engine and transmission in one of his buddies cars.

Elisa is trying to get a Branch choir up and going and tries to keep up with E.

Hope to see you all on Oct 17th!

HELLO ALL!

In case you haven't heard, Evalynn's adoption was final on Aug 19th!!! YEA!!! We are going to have her sealed to us on Sat Oct 17th at noon in the Mesa, AZ Templ-double YEA!!!!

We have FINALLY moved into our house in Las Palomas and are going through boxes and getting stuff put away. E loves the new yard and has the skinned up knees to prove it! She loves the grass and being outside with the dogs!

Spencer's work is going great and Elisa is bored at home but hoping to find a few kids to watch. Our friend James sometimes comes to our house after school and we talk about EVERYTHING Star Wars!

The mornings and evenings here are finally cooling off and we like to go outside and sit on our porch.

Thanks to all of you for your love and prayers concerning the death of my aunt Norene-we all love her and will miss her.

4th of July Pics

Below are some pics of Elisa & E's trip up to Questa for the 4th. Sorry-still working on ones from 1st birthday and lab computers are SLOW!

Hello all!

Just a quick update-no interenet at home so have to use the computer lab!!!

Evalynn is now 1 year old!!!!! Her bday was July 7th. She had a party on the 5th while she and mommy were in northern NM for the 4th. We got to see Amber, Junior, Elva, Lea, Ben, Rachel, Nick, Adrian, Angelica and Nevaeh! We had so much fun watching fireworks at the lake!

Then E had a party on the 6th at the park in T or C. The Elders were there along with the Armijo family and the Rojos. Lots of fun toys and cake! Have some pics and video but will have to post them later.

Then we all went camping with the Wright family and E got to see her cousins and all her aunts and uncles.

Our friend James just turned 8 and got baptized and we are excited to be going with him and his family on the 25th when they will be sealed in the Albuquerque Temple. YEA!!!!!!!!! That means we will not be at the Animas Ward Reunion. :(

That's about all!

Love you!

Happy & Sad

We found out that we will not be adopting Donavan-the judge ruled that each kid should be adopted by their current foster placement.

But we do have a finalization date for E's adoption: Aug 19!!!!! Yea!!! We were so worried that it would take MUCH longer to get a court date set up! Still waiting on our certification to come through but should hear something soon.

E's sealing will be on Aug 22nd at the Mesa, AZ temple at 4:30 pm. The temple has limited us to 35 people so we will be letting you know if you are invited. Please let us know ASAP if you will be able to attend.

We love you all and are so thankful for all of your prayers!!!!!
