Saying Good-Bye to Utah...


The week before we moved to Arizona we were able to say good-bye to many of our dear friends. I wish we were able to see EVERYONE we know but unfortunately time was a big factor. But we did manage to squeeze in some good times before we moved. Owen and I headed up to Farmington and got to meet our good friend's baby. Kate is such a doll but she was sleeping so we couldn't snap a picture. I completely forgot I had my camera to get a recent one of big brother Cole and Owen. But here is one of the two of them when Owen was just 2.5 months old. I love this family and we will miss them so much!Of course we had to spend some time with our dear friends Brit and Spence. They are the best friends anyone could ask for. We are going to miss laughing and hanging out. When we get together it's funny because Tyson and Spencer will just go off and talk and talk and Brit and I will do the same. I love it and I love them!


Beautiful Brittany.....many people have mistaken us for sisters. I take it as a total compliment!!

Owen sure loves them too!
My dear friend Kate. She is pregnant with triplets!!! She will be the best mom to those lucky boys. Doesn't she look great!? She is now 30 weeks along and measuring 45 weeks!! She carries these babies like a pro. I can't wait to meet her beautiful babies. Love you Kate!

This is one of my sweet first graders, Eadie. Isn't she the cutest!? She and her wonderful mom (and family) wanted to get together before we move. I am so happy we did. I almost started crying when she ran up and gave me a hug. I am going to miss her and all of my first graders.
Our other best friends, The Jacksons, had us up to their condo with some other dear friends for a going away over nighter. We are so grateful they did this. It meant the world to us to be with everyone before we made the big move. Before everyone got to Park City we went swimming with Pete and Jess and their 3 cute boys. This was Owen's very first time in the water! He did great and LOVED it. Look at his face in this picture. It cracks me up!

Trying to get his ducky.....cute little thing.

The boys playing with "uncle Tyson"

Cute Daniel

Jess and Joseph. Joseph was a pro at going underwater. I'm going to need to try that with Owen soon. I am going to miss my mommy time with Jess.

Here we are...happy in the water!
(side note: This was my first time wearing a one piece since I was 12! But I am putting the bikinis in the box (except for vacations with just my Tyson). I feel it's important for me to make this switch to just tankinis and one pieces. And you know what? I like it because I feel like I'm treating my body more like the SACRED temple it is). Now if only I did this more when I was a teenager, I think my mom would've been happier! ;)

Mike and Catherine

Jess and Pete

Wendy and Will. These guys have been in Utah for a long visit from the East. It was SO good to see them and their cute kids!

Just the two of us

I love this. Joe and Owen were totally enthralled in each other...just sitting up like big boys and looking at each other. Then John came along and decided they were too interesting not to stare at. I thought it was so cute!

Little buddies. Don't you just want to squeeze them!

I am going to miss mommy time with Catherine too. She always listens to my ramblings about Owen and gives me advice. Thank goodness for cell phones!

We are so grateful for wonderful friends. We are blessed to have so many surrounding us. I know these friendships will last forever. We love you guys so much and will miss you more then you know.
