Saying Good-bye to Nikki and Darrin in Ohio

Five beautiful Welch girls

As things have changed with our family we are trying to press forward. Nikki and Darrin were married June 10, 2009 and on August 13, 2010 we moved them to Dayton, Ohio were Darrin will start law school. Nikki found a job at a school nearby and started the Monday they got there.
Patrick is now Elder Patrick Welch. He has been serving in Peru, Lima Central Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He is loving the people and finds each day full of adventures. He will be marking his year anniversary August 19.
Emily is starting her junior year at Viewmont High. The classes she will be taking will have her very busy and alot of studying. But, just like her dad she is very smart.
Lizzy will the the oldest at the Farmington Junior High. 9th grade watch out!!! She to is taking after her older sister with hard classes. But, loves her percussion class. She plays a mean drumset.
Anna will be the big 6th grade at Farmington Elementary. She is lookng forward to doing all the fun things that she has seen her brother and sisters do.
Becca is the smartest one going into 2nd grade. She makes her dad look not too smart at times. She is always saying things that catch us all of gaurd.
Terry and Cyrrena stay busy with just keeping up with the family.

The family enjoyed a week long trip to Disneyland and California Adventures and then climbed aboard a cruise ship off to the Mexican Riviera. The best part of the trip for us was just spending time with each other. And of course the shopping, the eating, more shopping, swimming with dolphins, and even shopping. It is a good thing that dad is a good sport when it comes to shopping with 5 girls. We love you dad!!

Then enjoying another ride to Ohio. 26 hours in a car one way. But, it wasn't bad. We enjoyed singing and counting cows! (great car game) Then saying good-bye to Nikki and Darrin was hard. But, with great love we were excited to see their new adventure begin.

School is around the corner and everyone is so excited, but mom. She once again will have a empty house and really nothing to do. (haha) Maybe she will have time to keep the blog up to date.
