Tyler and Lindy's Big Move

Tyler accepted a new job in South Texas. He is in a town named Mission, which is located by McAllen. He will be a district manager for a cell company called: Two Brother's Communication. He is very excited, and we are excited for him. Being the great salesman that he is, we are confident that he will be successful! My sister's son Justin is going to be working with Tyler, so the two of them left Utah, with Tyler's car and the company car. The moving van followed with all of their belongings, Phil and I flew down a few days later, and Lindy and her her mom flew down the next day... with the 2 pet cats. All went well, except for the fact that Tyler's new car broke down somewhere in the desert and had to be towed back to New Mexico.... where it is still being worked on. Here are some of the memories from our journey.
No one got off easy! As you can see... no child labor laws here! Roman was very excited to help Bompa empty the truck!

Good luck finding your stuff Lin! Two mother's helping can be a challenge! Just kidding... we all pitched in, and the organizing wasn't too bad!


Nicole... dressed for some manual labor! Gotta look cute.
Lindy's job was to keep us... and hopefully her stuff on track! We only ended up with a few of their things in Justin's apartment, and vice versa!
Some of the boxes proved to be a two man job! Who made moving boxes this big anyway? Tyler and Justin didn't seem too much worse for the wear.

OH... Who's the man now? Is Zach showing them up by carrying this one by himself? I guess Law school might build muscles after all.

Justin and Tyler's bikes made the trip without a scratch! Good thing... or else they may have been crying like babies!

I think this was because Lindy's dad had them packed so well that an egg wouldn't have cracked! Thanks Mike!

All went well! Nothing was broken... and everything made it! Who could ask for more?

Our Trip to Houston

We spent a day in Kemah, Roman loved the Rides!
He could ride them all day long for free.

Nicole is such a cute mom!
Roman is always happy just to be out! He is also quite a 'ham' for the camera!

Zach and Nicole had an event one evening at the Law School, so Mamma and Poppa got to 
baby sit! We had a fun time at the park!
Roman loved the statues... this was the Grandma and Grandpa statue. He was holding their hands... So precious!
Any little sit spot makes for a great photo op! Roman keeps his eyes open for them!
Grandpa was giving him 'underdogs' and Roman was loving it!

Roman and Grandpa take a break
Grandma and Grandpa on stroller duty...
We were in Heaven!
Nicole took us on a great walk down the bayou.
It goes all the way down town.
Nicole and Roman take a ride
Roman is taking Grandma flying!
We were able to attend a Houston Astro's game
They won in 'extra innings'... not to be confused with overtime!
we went to the battle ship...
The Space center
We were able to spend some time in Galveston with Phil's Nephew Brad, his wife Diane and their daughter Autumn.


Grandpa and Roman playing in 'Space'!
A windy day at the beach...
Is still a day at the beach!
Roman is the king of the Big Gulp!
Roman learned a new word this week...
School Bus!
He loved watching them on the freeway... so when we found a little one...
You know, he had to have it!
He loved playing cars with Grandpa!
We told him that this was his
"Go Cougars" Shirt!

What a fun trip!
We will miss being with this little guy very much!
But apparently we will being going back in May,
Tyler and his wife Lindy will be moving close to Corpus Christi
to work for Verizon. We are not sure what has happened to draw our kids to Texas!
Chelsea will be spending the summer in Rome for study abroad
Trent will be graduating...
Do I hear an empty nest???

More fun!

Romantic Evening on the beach to watch the sunset!




Great food all week! Can we live like this every day?

Old town shopping... you have to do that!

Julie's favorite place... the Ladies Room!

Fun on the beach

What fun when we ran into friends from Midway! Jim and Karen Schlieffarth... same flight, same car rental, hotel across the street!





These boys could have played all day on the beach with the sea weed... who needs toys?
