The last few months in Provo were bitter sweet. All of our friends were slowly going their way. Dave was heading to California early to start his new job and I decided to stay with the children so that they could finish school and spend some of the summer here and spend a bit more time with our friends before we finally moved. Dave and I were apart for 6 weeks and in that time he visited twice. 
We were fortunate to still be in Provo for the blessing of the Woodruff's baby Sawyer. Dave has known Tyson they were at BYU as 18 year olds in 1993. So we were stoked to be there for it and be part of the baby blessing.
It was sad to see the Woodruff's leave for Washington DC. They were our fun brigade! Life is definitely a little more boring without Diana ringing to ask if I want to run in a snow shoe race, make s'mores up in the canyon or go camping. I am so glad Dave and Tyson organized for Dianna and I to go on a blind running date when we had first moved to Provo.
Good times!!!
We have been in California for 7 months now and my children are still talking about the crazy Woodruffs and when we will see them again...... they also miss all the birthday cakes she made for them. I am not so good : (
The boy's primary teacher came over and took them for a ride and to say goodbye. The boys were stoked!!!
5th grade goodbyes. This was a real sad time for Goannah! She had made some incredible friends and it was very difficult for her to say goodbye : (
Loved her teacher!!!! She had 2 incredible teachers while in Utah.
The photos are out of order, but we got to go on one last hike with the Woodruffs near Sundance. 
Yep, Diana is hiking with a new born!
Love Summer!
Just hanging. Now that we are in California in a house I can honestly say that I don't know how we lived in a tiny 3 bedroom apartment. We also had more children hanging out our place than ever. Four of the neighbours were over in this photo. Something we strangely miss. It was one big exhausting and fun party.
Below is some of the girls in block 16. Some of the great neighbours that I learned to lean on and (borrow an egg) every now and then. Gorgeous Connie was leaving with her family to L.A and we were all out for a girls night.
For mothers day I like to go on a date with each of my children. I decided a few years ago that it was going to be a tradition. A good excuse to spend one on one time with them and do the fun mum things I keep meaning to do.
With H'bomb, we went to the nickel arcade and had dinner at Sushi Ya!! Yummy.
A picture say's a thousand words!!! 
For Beth she wanted a picnic in the sun with friends of course!
Can't be a date unless you buy a treat or two!
Edgar was doing the MBA program with Dave and Daniella helped me with the international committee at BYU and helped translate Portugese. She really helped integrate the Brazillian girls. Best cook ever!!! We loved learning more about Brazil from them and can't wait to visit them in Brazil one day. We loved spending Christmas eve with them and others Brazilian style.
Goodbye beautiful Alex. Alex wanted to do a special movie night. Diana had just had her gorgeous baby and it was to be our last official girls night out. It was a blast! Tyson was there too. But he is one of the girls and we talked, talked, ate and watched Avatar. I miss my gym buddy!
