family update

Hi everyone! we STILL don't have internet :( i thought i had better take this chance that i have with internet to let you all know what we have been up too!

my little brother left on his mission in july to guatamala. we miss him dearly, but know he is an amazing missionary doing what the lord has asked of him! he is such a wonderful example for our little boy and we couldn't be more proud of him! love you elder hall!











greg had a gret deer hunt. he spent several days with his dad and brothers in koosharem. unfortunatly there wasn't much there to hunt. the night we got back to tropic greg went out to the ranch and within 30 min he got what is know as "the monster". technically it is a 6x7 with an aproximate score of 200. from what i understand that is really good!:)








as many of you know greg has been working as a therapist at a residential school for at risk teen girls. about the first of oct we found out that the owners had decided to close the school. the last day was the end of october. not quite what we had expected for the near future but that was what life threw at us! the owners of the school also own a motel and resturant. we are in the process of working some things out for greg to work with them in building their business and corporate retreats.

one of the girls from the school has come to live with us and attend the local high school. she is a great girl who needs to work on graduating H.S. and we are hoping this will be a great opportunity for her to finish school and learn and grow. so our family has increased to 4!

Jaxon is becomming even MORE of a charactor then he was before! he really like to read books, more specifically he likes to read them to us! he LOVE to talk on the phone and is very animated about it! he has quite the intense conversations! he is full of energy and is such a BOY! he says about 40-50 words, most of which no one understands but mommy and daddy! he is very musically inclined! he loves listening to music and making music. he dances like nobodys business. he also loves to "sing"! he got his first haircut last week. so sorry for all of you mullet lovers, but his is FINALLY GONE! it is still "long" and curly! he is growing so much and we are loving every day of it!










so in the middle of all this happening we have received more life changing news that will affect our future as well as the above mention items. as you will soon see that we have had a very "exciting" past month and a half. not only has Jaxon gained and "older sister" (which he adores and follows around EVERYWHERE!) he is also gaining a younger brother or sister. i am only 8 weeks along and the projected due date is June 25th. i have been much sicker this go round so it has been nice haveing greg home! he gets up and takes savy to school gets jax up, feeds, changes, and dresses him. he has basically taking on all household responsiblitites! i don't know what i am going to do when he starts working again!
















we hope you all are doing well and we miss all of you!
