Catch up!

So we had a pretty crazy summer! Here is the timeline - with pictures to document our travels!

We moved to Arizona at the beginning of June - for Anson's internship. We were lucky enough to be able to stay with Anson's family down there and spend time with them! We were finally able to go up to their property where we rode the Rhino and hung out by the fire. Shaef loved to pick up and eat anything he could fine. We found out in Arizona that Shaefer likes everything he eats to be "whole"! If you cut it up - nevermind - but if it is whole....it is devoured! Shaefer also learned to eat raw veggies, swim (a little)(I just realized I have NO pictures of him in the pool... ), mow the lawn (with dad), and open doors! He kept me on my toes and I was happy to have some extra hands (Thank you Toni and Ann!)






At the beginning of July - we went up to St. George for a family get to gether with my family! It was so much fun to have us all together again!! My mom is really good at finding activities for us to do and our condo had tonz of stuff (if we ever had free time)! One of the favorites for us was the "splash parks" that they have where water squirts out from pipes and the ground. Shaef was very brave and loved running in and getting soaked! We also got to go to Tarzan at Tuacahn - which was tonz of fun (especially because Toni watched Shaef so we could enjoy ourselves)!






Right after that we headed to Ceadar City where we went to Anson's Darger Family Reunion. His parents were in charge and they did an awesome job!! The company, entertainment, food, and lodging were are amazing!
(I don't have any pictures of this either!)

Why not just continue more north while we are at it....and go to POKY! We didn't get to be there for long but it was great to spend time with my family! We went swimming at Ross Park one of our first days there and also were able to take Shaef to the Pocatello Zoo (the bears were awesome!). We also saw Trissy in the 24th of July parade and attended the community festivities where Shaef tasted his first ear of corn and tried to ride a baby goat. At the end of our time in Idaho, we were able to go up to Island Park and spend time at the cabin. It was so relaxing and peaceful up there (even with a bunch of kiddos running around!) We had to leave early to turn around and drive south again! In Idaho - Shaef learned to ride a horse (and he loved it), jump on the tramp, master climbing stairs, and learned to smell flowers!







After all the visiting - we picked up our last load in Provo (Shaef was nice and cozy...) and drove back to Arizona. It was sooo fun seeing Brightyn and playing with grandma. We got there just in time for the most important event of all ... Austin and Britt's wedding!





After the wedding - we packed up the Uhaul and Anson and his Dad started to treck across the bottom of the U.S. to Florida. Shaef and I left a few days later (by plane) and met them here where we have been trying to get settled and unpack all our junk!
