Howdy ya'll

I hope to be able to finsh this post in one setting, but that may be a difficult thing to do. Mostly because of our four daughters and my darling husband who is currently resting his head on my shoulder :P There are so many things that have happened since my last post! I do not think any of them are like Wow! That happened? kind of things, but things that happen none the less. Hmm. I believe the last time I wrote was when Arthur and I were both in the spring semester back in BYU-I. We have finished that and are so glad that we survived. We are both getting ready to start the fall semester. Both of us have a full load, but Arthur does have more credits than me. He is getting everything done as soon as possible so that he can graduate earlier! The plan is right now, for him to graduate in two semesters!!! So we will officially be done here in April of 2013. That is just amazing for us to even think about! Rydia is growing well. I sometimes worry about her development, but I know that every baby is different. Even though we have had three others, it is oftentimes hard to compare her to our other children. She is doing really well sitting up by herslef now. She hasn't shown any real interest in crawling though. She really likes to have me pull her up to a standing position a whole lot more than trying to crawl. Every time I put her on the floor to crawl, she always turns over instantaneously. It'll happen sooner or later I know. :) Just have to be patient I suppose. Claudia finished Kindergarten at the end of May. She had a great year and a wonderful teacher. She has since had summer break and started first grade. She just finished three days worth of it, and she is loving it. Now she goes for a full day which is nice I might say. After Arthur and I finished this last semester, we decided to make a trip down to Texas!!! It was soooo wonderful to do! We were gone from Idaho for about three weeks. We got to spend four days and three nights in Corpus Christi down by the beach so it was like a vacation in a vacation!! We got to swim in the ocean and the pool. Then we stayed at my mother-in-law's house which is so amazingly beautiful! We were all so sad to go "home" to Idaho, but we know that we will be back soon. We were going to be moving back once Claudia finished school, but we just cannot wait that long. Plus we will save on rent a bit. :) Every day is a day closer. I mean come on! August is almost done with!!!! In our church, our ward was split. Our ward is basically just another word for congregation. Ours was so huge that they built another building to accomodate all the growing in and around Rexburg. We attended our first day there today and it was a really nice building! It is very sad to not see people that I FINALLY got around to memorizing their names and faces,but oh well. Another chapter in our life right? I will stop writing for now because I am afraid Rydia might wake up soon and I want to lay down for a tiny bit :) Well, I wanted to upload pictures but it is not working so I will be on that soon.

TEXAN POTATOES OUT!!!!
