Texas R Us

As most of you know we have moved to Mexico. Well, not MEXICO, but our apartments are literally about an 8th of a mile away from the border. Think I'm kidding? I'm not. Once you exit the freeway if you perhaps miss our turn in you will shortly be driving up to the bridge to enter into mexico. The only thing that separates us and them is some fence and a lot of border patrol. A lot. I actually do love it here. We are about a 30 minute drive from south padre island and the water is so warm and there is just the perfect waves. Our apartment is AWESOME! Black leather furniture nice countertops... can't complain :) Oh and our view of the pool is spectacular. See below :)

I can actually lay out while my children sleep and leave the door open so I can hear them. It's fantastic. Our ward... the only english speaking ward in brownsville, consists of about 100 people. But it's nice and seems like a close knit ward. I am excited to get to know them a little more. We didn't pack up all of our stuff this time. We put the majority of it in storage and only took the necessities with us so unpacking only took a day. I wouldn't mind living here due to the closeness of the beach but would much rather prefer somewhere like california... the water is colder but people speak english. Here I go to walmart and no one speaks english and I am the only white blonde girl here so things get a little awkward. We live in student housing so our doors have A, B, C, and D on them. They are pretty small rooms but we have 4 of them so there is a lot of room. Being so close to the pool we get to expierence all the hundreds of pool parties people throw all day and part of the night. Luckily we are young so we open the door and listen to the music haha. Kai is a flirt with all the college girls. He like to sit on the porch and wave to them all and smile. He's a little stud. He LOVES the beach also. He likes to chase the water going back into the ocean and then when a waves comes and hits him he laughs. He also found his first prized seashell that he would not let go of. We are going to frame it.

Noah is Noah :) Just a 3 month old baby with the whole world to explore. He is now smiling at us and tries to talk to us. We just makes sounds back to us when we talk to him. He is so adorable. Casey's mom and sister flew down to help with the move and help me bring the kids down and also to get a little vacation.

I honestly don't think I could have flown without them. Just look at my baggage! haha.

Ready or not... another summer has begun and hopefully this one goes well :) And I am hoping to update my blog daily with the days events :) Love you all!!
