Texans

This time next year, we'll be Texans!

Justin finished consulting interviews and received two offers and both locations are in Dallas, Texas! We are so thrilled! We are heading to Dallas next weekend for offeree weekend to help make the decision of which one is a better fit for us. Justin's brother, Matt, and his family live there so we are thrilled to move near family. My sister, Shanda, lives six hours away so it will be fun being closer to her as well. We feel blessed to know where we will be heading already and that we have time to plan and figure it all out. A cowboy hat filled with goodies came in the mail the other day so Jorgen and Shelley have had fun trying it on for size (and note Shelley's shirt).

Halloween and then some....

We had a great Halloween! Jorgen was a dinosaur like last year and Shelley was a Russian gypsy (who loved to 'shake it!').


Jorgen and his friend, Kimball, at the ward party.
Shelley and her friend, Livvy, at the GSB trick-or-treating.We went to the Stanford/Oregon game yesterday and had a blast. We actually showed up with only five minutes to go before it ended but it was free and so much fun!
We ran into our friends, the Prows', and they had their camera on hand so we were thankful for that. Everyone ran onto the field at the end of the game and our children had so much fun playing and running around.
One year old Shells.
Shelley got a little nervous when we were taking pictures of her so Jorgen went over to comfort and calm her down. He is the best big brother ever! So sweet and good to her! Our girls are lucky to have Jorgs as their older brother!
Three year old Jorgen!Running yards, and yards, and yards!

A few other random things we have been up to...

Jorgen and Shelley love to play together, especially if it involved jumping on each other or wrestling. Shelley is going to be a tough gal for sure!

This picture is so funny to me. It looks like we just snapped it while his eyes were blinking but Jorgen was actually falling asleep at dinner time. It was not even six o'clock yet. Since we cut out his afternoon nap, he often is so exhausted from running all day long that he just starts to fall asleep when he eats. It is quite amusing!
My two yoga bears!
These two love to try out there yoga moves when I get out my mat to exercise. They love doing poses with me!
I have been working with Jorgen on recognizing numbers and these are two new things we have tried.
Bingo!
Hop scotch!
Shelley likes to join in the beanbag-hopping fun when we do it.
