It's us! : May 2013

This Memorial Day we were able to make it more meaningful! Velzy's teacher asked if anyone could help put flags on the Veteran's graves at Midway Cemetery.

Velzy gladly volunteered us!

We were all happy to do it!

Nathan had a list of names, we walked around to find the graves, and the kids put the flags on.

It was a great family activity!

Thanks Velzy for singing us up!

Time for some hiking

On Memorial Day we took our first hike in Midway. It was too fun. It was more like a stroll along the Provo River. But, the kids thought it was pretty darn fun.

Throwing rocks in the river was definitely the highlight.

Even Daddy loved it.

First shot at a family picture.

Then some nice Utahn offered to take it.

Then we headed into Heber for shakes at Dairy Keen.

Everyone has to have there own favorite flavor. Chocolate mint is pretty popular along with cake batter.

We even saw the Stirlands there!

Then we headed home for a BBQ.

The Wingars were supposed to come but they were all sick. We missed them.

Colin enjoyed the chocolate lasagna. He has rubbed everything chocolate on his face forever! Oreo's, pudding, ice cream! It's pretty funny.

Oh and pasta now too.

First some dinner with some lovely ladies!

Sure going to miss them!!

Then the packing and the loading begins!

We had so much help from our church friends it was unbelievable!!

I love this picture! We had so much help there are 5 people here working on wrapping our entertainment center.

Gonna miss these folks!

Caleb Zollinger helping with the toys.

Getting down to the end of it. Is it all gonna fit? (Nope!)

Friends stopping by to say goodbye and drop off treats for the kids on the car ride. So sweet!

My guys sure are gonna miss this guy!

Halle and Jillian on the run way!

We had cookies and pizza for all our helpers. I'm not sure Colin helped at all...and I'm not sure how many cookies he ate.

Shoving it all in with the little bit of sunlight that's left.

Eating pizza with Daddy.

Saying our last good byes.

Now on to our new adventure!

Papa Carl came our our trip to help us out.

I think we have all the toys, treats, snacks, coloring, and more that we need!

Ready to roll!

What do you do on a 10 hour car ride besides eat?

Color your whole hand purple of coarse.

Sleep too!

Hijack someones pink glasses.

Oh and play follow that yellow truck.

We made it!

Our new temporary home.

Uncle Aaron lives in Utah!!! Yea! He met us at our storage to help us unload. We are living in a furnished condo until we get our build a house.

Monte came to help too. Our best friends moved to Heber in November too!

The Papa's were sooooo much help.

The kids sure love to have them around. And Grammy too. She helped me more that I could imagine!

Avery couldn't wait to start school. She went to Midway Elementary. We got there on Sunday and she started on Wednesday. She rides the bus 11 miles one way to her school.

Halle got to hang out with Papa and clean and organize the garage.

We also discovered our new surroundings for a few days with Grammy and Papa.

At Kneaders in Park City.

Velzy started school that Friday. She was such a trooper!! She went from Lightfoot Elementary School where she was top dog (It only went to 5th grade) to Timpanogos Middle School. I was so worried and she was a champ. She even road the bus to school that Monday. She really enjoyed her time there and I was so proud of her!
