Mom and Dad are leaving

Mom and Dad are leaving next Monday to head out west for their mission. They're going to spend Thanksgiving with Russell and Emily and then up and spend some time with those in Utah. I'm excited for them to go on a mission, however, I am sad that they won't be around here.

Last Sunday we held an Open House for people to come and say their farewells. The day before we spent the day getting their house ready. We even put Isabella to work. Nothing like starting them early.





Mom and Dad took us out to El Charro that night for dinner as a thank you. Afterwards, a few people crashed on Mom and Dad's couch.



I couldn't resist adding in this video of my crazy child!



And doesn't she look just darn cute today.


She also now moos and meows. We're working on some other animals with her too. She can also say flower. She's saying more and more every day. I'm excited because maybe soon we'll actually know what the heck she's saying.

I can't believe it's almost that time..... I know you'll miss your parents. I guess you kids get to have a taste of what it felt like when you all left the nest, huh?

Loved the picture of Linda passed out on the couch. (Sure she appreciated that one.) And your hubby too! :)

My parents are estatic that yours are coming to Utah!! They have the date circled and have talked about it. Mine have turned in their papers for Nauvoo and Palmyra-we are waiting to see what the word will be:) It is only a 6 month mission so it will be short and sweet. I told them if they go I want the keys to their condo in Sandy, Utah and the keys to their new BMW-sometimes it is nice being the only daughter:)
