Hanging out with the boys




We have made some great friends while here in Oregon.  One couple is the Whitings.  Our second week in the ward JD and Tyler saw each other and were confused and excited to see that we were both in Oregon going to school.  Tyler, who is here for dental school, served in India at the same time as JD, we have actually found out of a few others that have migrated to the Portland area for work and school, it is just odd because for such a small mission, especially for non-natives, it is crazy to have people from Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and Idaho all here for different reasons. Anyway, we love hanging out with the Whitings and their cute boys Cashen and Tate.  We got to watch them after church on Sunday while Mommio and Daddio went to the hospital to "get the baby out" as Cashen termed it.  They are cute boys and they love playing with JD.  I just thought it was so funny to turn around after cleaning up from dinner and see all three of them watching Cars and JD being stock piled with balls, trucks, cars, and planes.  We played outside for a bit and noticed that Cashen had been staring at the same plot of dirt for about 10 minutes-an eternity for a 3 year old.  Turns out they had planted flowers the previous day and he was waiting for them to 'pop their heads out, and for the worms'.  He was disappointed when we told him digging out the worms would ruin the flowers.  We had a fun sleep over, and are excited to meet baby Reed soon.
