We got to go out on Halloween with our neighbors across the street and their kids. Hyrum and Eva both loved it. As you can probably tell...

"Dont even think about taking my candy!"

"Did I get a lot of candy? you bet I did."

Eva's happy she got to go trick or treating, but

She is even happier mom and dad let her have that rice krispy treat.

Well, he did wear the mask for a few minutes.

Hyrum Smith, Tae Kwon Do MASTER!!!

Dinner can get a little messy.....

or a lot messy!!!!!

Our first Texan Halloween party--adults only.

Five years, YEAH BABY!

5 YEARS

Well, today Elisa and I celebrated our 5th anniversary. It is hard to believe that it has been that long already! We have been so blessed and can't imagine our lives being any different. We were lucky enough to go to dinner to celebrate (to a restaurant I wouldn't really suggest) but afterwards we went and walked around the Houston Temple grounds. What a blessing it is to have a house of the Lord so close, and to feel of the presence that is there. We are loving Texas, although we miss our families a ton!

The two luckiest people in the world:

And here is why....

Bath time

Getting ready for Halloween?,

and for church!

I think I will try to write at least once a week now. Things are going really well here in Texas. It is hard to believe we have been here a month already. This weekend is Elisa and I's fifth wedding anniversary. Time flies when you are having fun doesn't it. Some fun stuff has happened just in the last week. First off, Elisa was called to be the new ward choir director. She is really excited, and she had a lot of people sign up to sing in church today. She is getting ready to start teaching piano and voice as well, so that should happen pretty soon. Me, I'm still waiting on a calling, but that is o.k. The kids are doing great! They are getting so big! We just started Hyrum in karate, and he really likes it. I love being able to take him, and he is already learning to be more disciplined. He is also making quite a few friends, as you can see. Eva is growing like a weed, and is standing up all by herself. She is even starting to take a few steps. It is hard to believe that she is already almost a year old. Also I will be starting to play in an indoor soccoer league with some of the guys in the ward. They have really taken us in even though we haven't been here that long. I really think we are going to like Texas.
