Rogers have relocated....... AGAIN!






Well, I thought I would let everyone know that we have moved again. This time, however, it is to a place that we are familiar with. Jace was born here. That's right we are back in San Antonio. It has been 9 years since the last time we were here and things have changed a little. There are a lot more neighborhoods, for one. H.E.B. is still the only grocery store, but there are some H.E.B. plus stores to compete with the Super Wal-mart's and Super Target's. It's still hot and muggy in the summer. That was a nice shock to the system. (When we left Colorado Springs, on May 20th, it had snowed the day before). Crazy huh? Jason is going back to school, but this time it is to enter a fellowship program for P.A.'s to specialize in ENT (Ear Nose and Throat). His actual training begins in a week. All this time up until now he has been "in processing" what a headache. Some other changes is that all my children will be in school!! What will I do with the day, I haven't got a clue, OH YES I DO!!! Jensen also graduated, I can't believe that he is old enough to be this old. He will turn 18 here in a few days, and I am trying really hard at nagging him to get a job. He has been a big help with his brothers and sister, so I don't know how I will cope with that change.



Slowly but surely James and Jace are making the adjustment to their new home. James loves having his own room. It's like a museum, all of his Star Wars action figures and spaceships are on display and the rest of his room is organized and CLEAN! Now I just need him to keep his bathroom the same way and we're in business. I will include a few pictures so everyone can see some of our family updates.




This is Jensen and James retiring our Flag. It was given to Jason when he graduated OCS in June of 98.




This flag has been to Morroco, Afghanistan, Montana, South Carolina, Alabama, and a few other places that I can't think of right now. It has flown in many missions, and has flown over several places of honor. Montana National Guard Headquarters for one. We now have it on display in our home.







Jensen getting ready to graduate from Air Academy High School. May 19, 2011.






If you notice the boxes we had movers that day loading up our stuff so we could leave the next day. Such is the life of the military family. At least Jensen didn't miss his graduation.
Love to you all!!


































Back Again

Well it has been quite a while and so I thought that I would take the advice of my sister and start updating the blog.



Yesterday being Sunday, our family usually has the spiritual side of FHE because our children need to have things broken up. There has been some fun trivia about our prophets in the Ensign. So what I thought I would do is have a "game-show" type FHE about our Prophets. The June Ensign p. 72 is where you will find the most recent information. I went and found clip art for displaying the clues. (I already have printed out the pictures of the Prophets). Then I set it up in a multiple choice format. It was fun. Jason read the questions and it was neat to learn things about our church presidents that we didn't know before. Here is an example. (I usually use my whiteboard). The clue is the flower lei. The question is this president of the Church was called on a mission to the Hawaiian Islands when he was 15 years old. Do you know the answer?







The Ensign Jan. issue has another bit of trivia about our Prophets, it's in the section Small and Simple Things.

It sure makes for some fun family time. Try it I think you will have fun.
