SUPRISE!!!!!

Mom got a phone call and when she answered a guy said "Como Es Ta?" Who could it be you may ask? IT WAS COLTEN!!!!! He called home to tell Mom that they didn't get thier visas, and they have to stay in the MTC for 3 more weeks and if they don't get then by then, he will be sent to a different mission. Bummer! But hopefully they get them!!! Mom talked to him for a few mins then i got to talk to him and let him know about Josh and I being able to go through the temple as early as september!!! He was so excited! his words were... "that..is...AWESOME!!! I can't tell you how excited i am!!! i have been praying for you guys!!!!" I said i know we decided to do it here in Houston Texas and he said "That is so cool you will love the Houston Temple!!" Then i told him i loved him and he told me about a package he is sending mom and he said, i have a suprise in there just for me!!! i can't wait to get it!!! it totally made my day!! Even though he only had 5 minutes mom, me and jace were the only ones that got to talk to him! It was really weird to hear his voice because he sounded so grown up. It's amazing what a mission can do for them. I am so greatful for the gospel and even more seeing how its changed his life. I love you Elder Houston!!! Miss ya!!!!

Exciting News!!!

Josh and I found out on sunday that we could go through the Temple as early as September! We are so excited we finally have this wonderful opportunity to go through! We have a time frame set up so hopefully everything goes according to plan. Our stake president does temple recomend interviews at the end of every month, but we just missed the dead line for this month so we can go get it done at the end of august! We talked about where we should get sealed since we have some family in AZ, NV and ID. And we thought long and hard over it and had a very difficult time. So we asked our bishop for some advice. He said don't worry about where your family is and what would be easier, Pray about what is good for the Josh, Amber, Braiden, and Houston Jarvis family. What would be perfect for you guys, and everything else will fall into place. We decided it was going to be hard to decide either way, so we prayed. We both feel like we need to do it here in Texas. We feel like that was the answer to our prayers. This is our home and where we live now. We don't have a date yet because we have to talk to our stake president first, but we are shooting for the end of september. Which works out perfectly because our anniversary is september 19th, but it's on a sunday this year, so we are hoping to do it that saturday the 18th. If not hopefully that following saturday around Braiden's birthday!

We know some family and friends won't be able to make it and i hope we don't offend anyone, but this is where we need to do it. and we are sorry if we do. We won't hold it against anyone if you can't come but we sure do hope all of you can make it. We will give everyone more information when we get it. If anyone would like Josh and I to reserve you a cabin at the KOA, let us know. We can get it for cheap, because our home teacher owns it and he wants to help us out. I hope we gave you time to set enough money aside to come. Gram Sue and PaPa Ray, we know papa ray can't travel and we are so so sorry you won't be able to make it. I hope you can understand why we are doing it here. We love you so much, and hope you can still support our decision. We appreciate all the love and support everyone has given us!

Kisses and Hugs!

Summer Cuts!

Braiden and Houston got hair cuts 2 days ago. Both of my boys hair were getting pretty shaggy, so I was going to buz their heads but my mom said she wanted to try and cut their hair, and it she did a terrible job then we just buz over it. She did a really good job for someone who has never cut hair before!!!

Braiden being silly

His pouty face because he wanted to take pictures of me and I said no because i looked scary!!!

And Baby Houston! He is all blonde now!!!

I think he likes his hair cut!
