With just a bunch of adults at our home life isn't very exciting but I will try to catch up on the happenings in our lives the past few months...
Matt got to spend time in the MTC with one of his best friends Blake.
(I don't think the MTC will ever be the same after these two!!)
Matt also got to see some of his Northridge buddies. In February Matt was given a little DETOUR for his mission. None of the Visa's came through for the missionaries going to Argentina so he was reassigned to the Georgia Atlanta North Mission until their Visa's come.
His friend Jeff on the left side of him is in the same mission in Georgia.
Jordan had two friends return home from their missions. Boston Poll (in the center) returned home from New Zealand and Blake Smithing (on the far right) returned from Samoa. They all got home within a month or so of Jordan. It was fun to hear all the different languages and accents they each had. Gavin Farr on the left was home from SUU football recovering from elbow surgery.
Jordan's very first companion in Chile and trainer Sean Church came and spent the weekend with us. He is from Idaho and is attending BYU-I. It was really fun getting to meet him.
Coco continues to entertain us by hopping in the trunk of the car when it's open. She thinks she will get a ride if she sits in there long enough. She usually wont get out for a good 20 minutes either.
Just simply makes me laugh.

Jordan finally had surgery on his chest. He had something called pectus carinatum which is a birth defect that causes cartilage on his chest to grow out. Growing up he and his friends always called it his third boob or uni-boob. It was funny to see how many friends were sad to see it go...(they would rub it for good luck). He is recovering slowly and it will take some time before he can hit the gym again but he is happy to finally have it gone.
We said goodbye to our other son Sam Knowles. I didn't know how hard this would be but it was seriously like saying goodbye to my own son. He will be serving a mission in the Philippines for the next two years and I couldn't be more proud of him.
Whew....that should do it for awhile.
