picture's from the MTC

Here are some pics from Elder Fowlks, The top left pic says on the the back "This is me Elder Fowlks" as if we didn't know that. Next says "Men in Black, My companion Elder Edemenang, pronounced Ed-ay-may-nong" Next is the four rooming together "The Companions" The next pic is the two of them standing with "Next to one of the greatest men ever...Joseph Smith" The group is "Our Branch before people Left!" Next is "My bed" with the blanket Chantelle made for him. Then a picture of him and Logan before we left for the MTC. His letters are great, he is having a great time. Hope it continues.

last of the 70's carpet Hoooray!!!!

Ok so Sharise figured since Daniel is away for 2 years, that it is time for her to move on into the big room. But that room has the original carpet in it. The house was built in 1978, so we decieded it was about time for a carpet change. Funny thing is, that carpet was still good ugly as it is it wasn't worn out yet. So we are painting the room and new carpet then she can move her things into the room. Daniel did approve this change but there was one thing she could not remove and that was his small basketball hoop over the closet he told her it would be fun for her to play basketball. So that will remain there. It doesn't look to bad with her palm tree theme. Palms trees... imagine that.

First letter "Hoooray"

A little up date we recieved our first letter and oh how that helped. Elder Fowlks is doing great. He did say that the separation was harder than he thought it was going to be. But he is doing good. Likes his companion and the other two Elders rooming with them. He even said the food wasn't to bad at the MTC which I was happy to hear because he is a picky eater. I can say the letter did help my over active tears, they have seemed to dry alittle. I can even think about him now without the water works.

He's on his way

Well he is on his way. We left for SLC Tuesday morning to visit with family up there. Then Wednesday we took him to the MTC(missionary training center) at about 11:45 had time to take a few pictures and then went inside and for instruction for about 45 mins. then it was time to kiss and hug and say our good-bye's the missionaries exit out one side of the building and the families out the other. I can say it was a very hard thing to do knowing that for 2 years I wouldn't see him and could only communicate by letters, nomore calling him on his cell phone or texting him. At least I will know where he is and what he is doing, that more than I could say before he left. I never knew what he was up too! We love him and we're going to miss him but he is where he needs to be at this time.

Cutest kids in the world

Finally got my picture with the cute dresses but little Abbie wasn't to happy that day so mom had to be in the picture and it still didn't help much but it's a cute picture anyway. Then my two boys in their Alien shirts we brought back from Roswell, NM.

Fowlks Family all together again

Saturday the 14th we had some family pictures taken because we are missing 5 family members in our previous picture so we figured it was time before Daniel leaves. We had our pictures taken at Red Cliffs and Fran took many fun pictures along with family pictures. We had a great time, we had many family members here on Sunday for Daniels farewell it was great, not to mention how nice the addition to the house was to have more space for everyone. Every one that looks at the pictures says it looks like there is kinda of a glow around me, and I tell them that I am glowing because the whole family is together, but really I don't know what it is.

Fun slideshow pictures

Here are my cuties.
