Perks of being back in Utah!

So the first weekend we were in Utah, we took advantage of Brent's Dad's boat!  We went out to Utah Lake and enjoyed the water!

Trey got to drive the boat!

Blake's TRICKS!

Driving to Utah

On our way back to UT, we stopped at the Hoover Dam & stayed overnight in Vegas.  The kids had a blast in the hotel's lazy river!

Ken & Glen were so nice not only to come down and help us pack but to drive with us back.

We kept making cracks about Glen looking like Papa Smurf! :)  Both Ken & Glen were growing out their beards for movie parts. (& no, it wasn't to play Santa.)

Trey took swimming lessons this summer with his pre school teacher, Mrs. Pacheco.  He was showing his mad skills at the pool in Vegas.  Brent was SO PROUD!

Packing Up

We had so many friends come and help us pack up to move to Utah.  I remember after they left, sitting in my bare kitchen bawling.  This was a hard move for me.  But good friendships will last forever, no matter the distance!

Going Away Party

Farewell Arizona!  I will miss you, terribly!

My sweet friend, Tina, threw our family a "farewell" party.  My parents were in town so it was fun to have them come as well.  I have made some dear friends here that will forever change my life.  I was not ready to leave, but when life gives you lemon... I guess you have to make lemonade.  My friend, Tina, has taught me to be a better, more giving person.  She and so many others in Arizona were supposed to come into my life to better me.  I will be forever grateful for the friendships I made in Arizona!

Alyssa & Briggs, Brett, me, Brent, Bryan, Eric, & AJ

I guess when the Rustand's have a party, someone always get thrown into the pool.  Brent was lucky enough to throw out his wallet first!

Bryan Tobler... You stink!  He got me!

Nothing like WET CLOTHES!

Tombstone w/ my parents

My parents were so sweet to come down to Tucson to help us pack for our move to Utah.  I made sure my dad attended this trip as well because I knew he would love Tombstone!  We put up with the 114 degrees for a while but went home a little exhausted and sweaty. 

Carriage ride around town

Yeehaw, cowboy!

Ghosts in Tombstone?  Or just creepy old miners... way old!

Birdcage Theater

After the "O.K. Corral Gunfight" show, Trey was too afraid to get pictures with the main stars.  They looked "too scary."  But this actor looked okay!

I wanted to stand by Doc Holladay who I think I liked the best because Val Kilmer played him in Tombstone.
