The Wilshire Suite

Welcome to Texas home of the Alamo! Where everything is bigger! including the insects. Steve and I were able to find a furnished apartment here in San Antonio. We are about 5 minutes from Fort Sam Houston. This will be nice for Steve when he starts classes and has to get up at o'dark thirty for PT. Any ways here are some picture of our cute apartment. It came with towels, pots, pans, pillows, and sheets. All we needed were our clothes and to go buy some food. The apartment complex has 3 swimming pools, a kids center, and fitness center. Its also gated for that extra protection against wandering animals ;)

UP UP and AWAY

Steve loves planes and now helicopters. He got himself a fun toy... a remote control helicopter. He says that this one is pretty easy to fly and he was flying it whenever he got the chance.

Hogle ZOO

Sabrinna loves animals! So our trip to the ZOO was a thrill for her. They have made a lot of great improvements to the park since the last time we were there. We saw an albino alligator...well actually it just has a genetic mutation and does not have any pigment in her skin. We also saw the elephants, giraffes, lions, tigers, and bears. The trip home was a little stressful. We hit really bad traffic, and then the car broke down. But to top it all off Sabrinna had a poppy diaper. Even with the bad adventure on the way home the trip was wonderful and we had a great time.

Johnson Clan

Our good friends from Cedar City moved to Idaho a little while before we moved. We had the privilege to get together to have dinner and dutch oven cobbler. We liked to make dutch oven dinners together; we made dinner together almost weekly. It was a fun reunion and as if we never parted. They are good friends and we hope to always remain close.

Sanchez

One of Steve's missionary companions from Santiago Chile moved to Salt Lake last month. While Steve was in town we were able to go up and say hi. Steve had a great time talking to him and reminiscing about his mission. The girl in the picture is Juan Sanchez's girlfriend. We were able to go to dinner at a Chilean restaurant. The food was pretty good.

Family Pix

Michelle wanted to get an updated picture for her Christmas cards and this is the last time that we will all be together until Christmas. We went to a park and took so great family pictures. It was a little windy but they still turned out well. Our family has some great photographers.

Row Row Row Your Boat

While Steve was in Seattle he found a fishing boat for my mom. She was so excited and loves it! We decided to try it out. We went up to Tibblefork inflated the boat to take for a little fun on the lake. We all got very muddy but had a wonderful time.

Gentle Breeze

For a fun family activity we went to Willow Park over in Lehi. They have this bike path that follows the Jordan River and Thanksgiving Points Golf Course. We loaded up the bikes and went for a little ride. We did not have enough bikes for everyone so Kellie got to ride with Sabrinna in the bike carrier. We got rained on a little but the gentle breeze made the ride nice and refreshing. We all had a great time!

Green Thumb

The great outdoors offers so many activities for a young, adventurous, brave little girl. Sabrinna has found that rocks and dirt taste very good. At least so she thinks right now. A favorite past time is to play in the dirt and help grandma do some yard work. She is very cute with mud all over her face.

Wreckless Driver...Stay Clear

My parents have a Flinestones car for the grandkids to play with. Sabrinna loves to play with it. Whenever we go outside she crawls over to the car and starts pushing it around the patio. She gets going to fast for herself and has soon ran into the flower pots and table. She has learned how to open the door and climb in. The other day she climbed in on the side that doesn't have a door. She went in head first and basically feel into the car. It took some effort but she as able to get herself turned around and sitting in the car ready to drive away.

New Fashion!

Sabrinna likes to put things on top of her head, although most things just fall behind her and onto the ground. The Cool Whip container became the exception. (So we helped a little, thats alright she looks cute.)

Who knew?

Who knew that a hamper could be so much fun for a little girl. Sabrinna crawled into the hamper and thought it was the lots of fun. We couldn't help but make the experience more enjoyable.
