Coming Home

Okay so the trip home is set to start this coming Friday (Feb. 27th). I will be traveling with my little sister Melody, Hyrum and Noah. Chris is will coming home at a later date still to be determined. Our trip should only take 3 days. Friday we will travel from Houston, TX to Albuquerque, NM which will take approximately 13 hours and 13 minutes. On Saturday we will be traveling from Albuquerque to Salt Lake City, UT which will take approximately 9 hours 59 minutes. We will be stopping in Salt Lake so we can visit with my brother Leigh Saturday night. On Sunday we will drive the last leg of our trip from Salt Lake City to Spokane, WA which will take approximately 10 hours 16 minutes. I can't wait to be home in my own bed, in my own house. I will update my blog when I return home and have plenty of pictures of our time in Houston and all the fun we have had. I look forward to seeing everyone again soon!

New Email Address

I had to cancel my comcast account because we now use a Sprint air card for the internet instead of comcast high speed so I have had to change my email address. Please update your information and send me a email so I can add you onto my address book. I have lost all my other information. The new email address is ** lisafarman@gmail.com **

Thanks,

Lisa

Updates from Texas

Things are still going okay here in Texas. Chris is doing his best to keep busy and keep his guys busy. Hyrum is doing well in his new school, but it turns out that he may need glasses. Noah and I have been getting a lot of bonding time in together. The weather has been nice and everyone that we meet is real friendly, but it doesn't compare to being home. The ward we are in seems nice enough and I'm sure if we were planning on living here we would make plenty of friends. That hasn't kept me from feeling homesick for Spokane. I miss my family, my friends and our ward there. The boys and I will be leaving for Spokane on the 25th of this month. Chris is going to be staying here for another month. I am getting anxious to get things ready for the baby. I look forward to seeing everyone again soon.

Children's Museum of Houston

Holly and I took the boys to the Children's Museum and they had a great time. Here is a picture of the boys after they got to color their faces. Don't they look scary.

Here they are hard at work getting their war paint on.

They had turtles in a creek outside.

The Flow Works part was tons of fun.

The kids got to milk a cow. Course the cow wasn't real, but they were able to get some water out.

They had a grocery store section where they had shopping lists and a check out register when you were all done. Here is all the food the boys collected.

Here's the way cool car the kids got to see all the insides of. They loved it.

Cute little Brody happy as can be. He was such a good, happy little boy. I think he just enjoyed watching all the kids running around and all the fun colors.

The pulley system where you could lift yourself up on a seat.

The phone center was pretty awesome too. I don't know if you can tell, but that is Noah on the screen and Porter is talking to him on the phone. If you looked on Noah's screen you would see Porter. The boys thought that was pretty cool.

The is the phone sculpture made out of all different kinds of phone. If you look closely you can see a hamburger, fries and coke phone. There is also and apple and banana phone as well. Can you see where they are?

Our Apartment

and the boys room. Pretty exciting I know. The apartment works great for what we need. We have a couch and are looking for a table, but may end up not getting one anyway. The apartment complex has two pools and a hot tub at each one and there's a fitness center. The apartment complex is close to town center and Hyrum's school.

Passing through Las Vegas

I didn't get many pictures of our drive down to Texas. I really only pulled the camera out once. These first two pictures are of the view from our hotel room the morning we were getting ready to leave Las Vegas.

We had to drive over the Hoover Dam and we saw that they were building a bridge across the dam. It was pretty cool to see the bridge in progress. The pictures just don't do it justice.

The last two pictures are just some of the landscape outside of Las Vegas. It was a beautiful day and the view was amazing. We are hoping we will have time to take the trip back through Las Vegas on our way home and maybe stop and spend some time in Las Vegas to see all the sites.
