The change...

This one makes me laugh, Jared looks like a pirate..."arrghhhh!"

Jeff was trying to kiss Flavio...and Flavio was having nothing to do with it...what a cute couple.

So, Flavio and his his counselors were released from the bishopric yesterday. This was truly a bitter-sweet day, as it is hard to make such a drastic change in our lives, yet we know that the new bishopric will be all that the 10th ward will need. We are once again, very grateful to all of our wonderful friends in Eagle Mountain and we hope to stay in touch for many years to come. Here are some pictures of the "old" young bishopric...I feel it captures who they really are at heart :)

Cute pictures from Hawaii

So, I took advantage of the great background Hawaii has to offer and took a family picture along with some of the girls. I love how they turned out. We had so much fun in Hawaii and with Flavio's family. I just wish it wasn't so far, so we could go there more often. I will try to get some other pictures from our trip up...as soon as I feel my house is in livable order. :)

Our new home...

Here is the front of our new home...

This, of course, is the back...

We have amazing views!

I fell in love with the kitchen...I will never be able to fill all of the cabinets! Yay!

Our entry

This is our family room. The house is very open and has a lot of great light. We were very blessed to be able to get this house...it was just a matter of timing. We are just trying to get used to being in a new place...it feels a little like we are on vacation...although we are working really hard. It always takes awhile to feel comfortable in a new place :) Miss you all!

Thank you.

So, some of you may know that we are moving this week. I wanted to take some time to say "thank you". This decision of moving was not an easy one, but we know it is right for us at this time. I want to say thank you to all of our wonderful friends here in Eagle Mountain, who have made it hard to leave, meaning, our next neighborhood will have big shoes to fill. We have loved so many of you and will always be grateful for our time out here in Eagle Mountain. We are not moving far, but we do understand how it works...even those of us who have been in ward splits have seemed to drift apart.... We hope to stay close to as many of you as we can. Our home will always be open to you. I am grateful for mediums like "facebook" and the ability we have to share our lives on our blogs. I hope that we can all stay in touch in some way. We love you and we will continue to pray for you. You are and will always be an important part of our lives. With much love and thanks.

Love,
Flavio, Niki, Hannah and Lia
