Utah and the final MOVE to California

As the school year ended we knew we would be heading to Utah to collect our final things and make a more permanent move to California. We had kept most of our belongings in storage in hopes that we may one day return. As we had now lived in CA for over 2 years we have loved living here and decided to make this our permanent home unless we have a greater opportunity elsewhere. It was a bitter sweet time because we love Utah and moving our stuff was a final goodbye. This would now be our fun vacation state and we will create many memories as we come to visit with family and friends.

The first day we arrived we had our a bunch of friends over to swim. These girls are #1's dearest friends (practically like cousins.) When these girls and #2 get together it's as if they have never lived apart from each other, everything is so comfortable and normal. It's amazing to think they have been best buddies for 6 years and it continues to stay that way. The girls were excited to meet our newest addition. Unfortunately the last few times we have tried to get together with them and Lisa a major trama in their family has occurred. We missed Lisa but were very happy to see the girls. 

 Later that day we were lucky and got to have our best boy buddies over as well. We enjoyed time spent with Michelle and Colby and love to see the kids interact with so much love for each other. These 3 kiddos were born within 3 months of each other and its fun to remember all of us being pregnant together and to see them now growing up.

We really enjoyed watching Tessa swim and play as her mom had told us she would be too scared to get in. Oh the things kids do when mom is not around...

 During the week I was able to meet Alexander. My niece placed her baby with a darling family a few months back and I unfortunately was not able to meet him since I was recovering from having #3. He is a sweet little guy and I have peace knowing these too knew each other in the pre-existence and I'm sure have a bond that was created before they came to earth. They are about 1 1/2 months apart (we can see who is older...)

His adoptive family was so sweet and kind to let us come and meet his sweet spirit and I hope they felt of our love for him as well as our gratitude and love for them for raising him, loving him and giving my niece so many opportunities in her future. 

We had many people who wanted to meet little #3 and we were so sad (as typical) to not be able to get to everyone . 

                                       

#2 Loves spending time with his boy buddies and spend quality time without his sister in the way playing girly things.

 We had our traditional Taco Amigo lunch and savored every bite.

 After and eventful week Jared had wanted to see his Grandma Irene and wanted to have her meet #3. Unfortunately we never have enough time to do all the things we want in Utah so while he packed up our U-hual I made a secret stop to visit. She and Jared didn't know I was stopping by but had some time to spare and I knew both would appreciate it.
