MORE IN TEXAS

Ross and I took a day trip to Houston where Robert and Julie Sorenson took us out to lunch and then Ross spent some time at Rice University checking out some family history. Apparently one of his great grandfathers had dealings with Sam Houston before Texas was even a state.
I Loved getting to spend time giggling with Julie

Nate's real birthday isn't until tomorrow but we had a cake a candles for him before we left.



Arches

During our trip to Texas we decided to take our time and visit some places we had never been. Arches was the first on our itinerary. The next day we spent some time in Santa Fe and enjoyed it so much we stopped there again on the way home. We also stopped at Carlsbad Cavern. Unfortunately we didn't get any pictures of the Caverns or Santa Fe.

If you look very closely you can see the delicate arch in the background of this picture. We did get up closer but the wind was blowing so hard it made picture taking a challenge.

April in Texas

Just thought you might be interested in a little of what we have been doing this month. We will start with the last.
We were able to drive to San Antonio to spend some time with Nate and famly. Ross and Nate did some remodeling to their kitchen ceiling. This is Grandpa and Ian doing some work together.
We also had a chance to get to play with the kids. Here Ian is holding his new "little" brother Luke.
And here is Kaelyn holding that same sweet "little" two month old baby.
We celebrated Debbie's birthday with cake and a near house fire!
Nate brought her tulips. What else would you give a wife from Holland?
We all spent a lot of time cuddling and playing with Luke Emil Clement.
He was blessed on Sunday, April 19th by his father Nathan Floyd Clement.
Grandpa and Grandma had the most fun playing with the kids and visiting with Nate and Debbie.
This is the morning of Luke's blessing just before leaving for church. What a fun little family!

April Showers Bring

April brings a third birthday for Mason. We were out of town for the actual day but here is a picture of the birthday boy. We also had two of our favorite boys from Oregon come to visit.
Steve and Alex and Ben came for conference Saturday. Unfortunately Heather wasn't feeling well enough to come by.




Becca and Darci also have birthdays this month and we hope to post something regarding their birthdays later.
