Cousins

We miss our Utah family so much! Will was beside himself when he had to say goodbye at Mitch's wedding. It's hard for Will and Van to make friends here in Tempe. There's not a lot of time left in the day to play with friends when you get home each day between 4:30 and 5:00. I really hope when we move again, that we can be in a well established neighborhood with plenty of families and kids to hang with. I've heard many times since our trip to Utah this summer, "I wanna go back to Utah!"

Garrett is not a biological cousin, but these two have been playing together since babies so we consider the Lewis's our family! Typical boys making fart noises with their armpits. 

Just like old times. We took the kids to the Edutainment Center at the West Valley Fitness Center.

Gwen and Van got to ride with us! I love that girl!

Deacon accompanied us to Uncle Terry's customer appreciation night. There were bounce house obstacle courses, ice cream and free balloons. The boys had a blast!

Will is "thrilled" to be playing at the park with his younger brother and cousin Nellie. Ha! Aunt Lana made that sword for Van out of styrofoam.

Here we are at a cute locally owned Pizza parlor in Holladay. 

Enjoying the new grass at the Leasure's with a slip n' slide party! 

Go Isaac!

I love this newborn Naomi so much! She was so soft and cuddly.

Go Gwennie Go!

Having fun at City Creek Center with Lana and her kids

There's an indoor play place at City Creek. William found another 7 year old to play with so that was fun for him.

Say Cheese!

Playing with Lauren and Ava at Grandma Mayzee's. 

Hiking the Bonneville shoreline trail

It's a tight squeeze in the back seat! 

I miss the Utah mountains! We didn't get to hike to the waterfall due to construction, but we could see it from a distance.

There's Sadie! Van has his favorite thing--bananas!

Right at the end, it started to rain. It was beautiful!
