June and July 2016

Sharing nachos at Nando's one last time before moving out of state.

This is a picture of Jennie's brother, Brent Taylor.

Charlie bought me a haircut and highlights for Mother's Day.

Getting packed and ready to move
The day we moved, just before heading out on our new adventure
Goodbye Mesa!
We met up with Chuck's friend and old mission companion, Ryan Clement
when we drove through Houston. 

We packed our whole house into three storage pods from Pack Rat

It was a long drive to FL!  Took us 30 hours to get there.

In a hotel on our drive across the country.

Dina had some groceries ready for us at Mom's house, and this delicious cookie cake.

One of our favorite things to do in New York is get ice cream at Stewart's!

You don't get views like these in Arizona!

 Going on a walk in New York, I was amazed by all of the beautiful flowers growing wild everywhere you look.

 We flew from Florida to New York so we could be there for Mom and Beecher's "surprise" birthday party.  Mom turned 70 this year, and Beecher turned 80 this year, so Dina and Brenda threw this fun party to celebrate.




Driving from Lanesville to Tannersville we saw Black Bears like this one a few times.

Duncan found a comfy place to sleep at Grandma's house.

Here's the listing for selling our house. 




Duncan is the cutest!


Cade at Grandma's house in Oviedo, FL

Duncan and I went on lots of walks around this neighborhood in Oviedo. The walking paths are so pretty!

Florida is so hot and humid!  This is Duncan trying to recover after a walk.

There were armadillos just chillin around the neighborhood. Alafaya Woods

On the plus side, it's not too hot to run in FL in the summer.
On the other hand, it is so crazy humid that I sweat a ton every time I step outside.

We enjoyed taking Duncan swimming in Dina's pool in Oviedo.  Duncan did not enjoy it very much. 

We had fun swimming in Dina's pool.  

Cade walked into the pool with his iPhone in
his pocket and that was the end of that phone!

Duncan brought us so much happiness and love during the move.
