Elder Reynolds


{I stole this awesome pic from his facebook}

Last night this cute kid found out where he will be spending the next 2 years...
DALLAS, TEXAS!!!

We are so excited for him and so proud of him!
He goes to the MTC December 1st so we will definitely be missing him at Christmas,
but he can't wait to get out there!

we will miss Josh's fun personality and sense of humor,

and his mouth-popping skills...


and his duets with Jer...


But we can't wait for him to start his adventure in the Lone Star State :)

life!

One of these days I will get this blog caught up with all we have been up to :)
-
We are in full football mode in the Whiting house...
going to watch the football guys (and daddy) at practice, traveling to games, O-line dinners, etc.
We love every minute, but mix football with everyday life, work, school, family, friends, playdates, and all the other stuff that seems to comes up, we are BUSY, BUSY, BUSY!

And lots more to come...
* home game this weekend with some of the Whiting family coming to stay
* I think I am going to take Dallas on the charter to the N. Dakota game next week. I hadn't even thought of taking him, but the President brought his 3-yr-old to the Texas State game this past weekend and he did great. Plus, Dallas would think flying on the plane with the football guys and staying at the hotel with them was about the coolest thing ever!
* Francis family and my parents coming to the next home game
* HALLOWEEN!
* Dal's first trip to Disneyland once football season is over
* CHRISTMAS is going to be here before we know it...ahhh!
* AND planning for my trip to Ethiopia to pick up my new niece! My parents will go on the first trip when they have their court date, then 6 weeks later Lisa and I will go with Kim & Steve to bring her home!!! They don't have their referral yet, so we don't know exactly when we will be going, but it will most likely be sometime between January and June 2011.

Fun stuff and fun times! I am so glad I have such great people to enjoy it all with. Life is Good :)

just had to share...

The other day Dallas and I were playing trains when out of the blue he came over and gave me a kiss on the cheek and said, "that's for being cute mom!"
How did I get so lucky?!?!
This boy absolutely melts my heart!
