Visit to Texas

I had a very enjoyable time in Texas during the month of February! I flew to Dallas, Texas on February 13th to see my cute brother Jeff and his darling little family. I was there just a short time but it was so well worth it! I got there on a Friday night and Jeff picked me up at the airport. Ashley greeted us when we got to their home and I was given a fun tour of their cute house. They seriously have it decorated so cute! I love the pictures that they got at the time of their wedding that they have on their walls. What a cute family! It was late and so we just went to bed. The next day we woke up bright and early and went and saw Ty and Charlie in their swimming lessons. Charlie was lucky and ended up being the only child in his class that day so he got the attention of his teacher all to himself. Can I even tell you how cute these little guys are? Love them! After swimming we went to lunch at a really yummy sushi place. It was delish! We then went back to their house and hung and out and played with the boys. We also got to go and see my cousin Dave's son, Austin, play in a basketball game. It was so fun to see Dave and Tiff and their cute family! They have been so good to Jeff and Ashley since they moved down to Texas. That night we had yummy subs from Firehouse Subs. They were also scrumptious! Once we got the boys to bed, Jeff, Ashley and I played some fun games of Clue and Skip Bo. In fact, they inspired me and when I returned to Washington I bought these games so that I can continue to have some fun. Especially with the "POISON" that is used in Clue. Thanks for the laughs, guys! On Sunday, we went to church and I was lucky enough to be at sacrament meeting when the Primary was singing. It was Charlie's first time ever to sing in sacrament meeting. It was neat to be there. Then, to top it all off, I got to be in Primary when Ty gave a talk on the importance of the priesthood in their family. It was very special to be there as Jeff helped his little boy give a talk...of course, Ashley deserves the props for preparing the talk and Ty for the big event. After church, we drove to the Dallas temple. It was neat to be able to see it. We then went to Dave and Tiff's for dinner and some good family bonding time. On Monday, I had to go home way too soon. Jeff took me and got some yummy BBQ on the way to the airport. I definitely was spoiled. A big shout out and thank you to Jeff, Ashley, Ty and Charlie! Love you!!!
