Apple picking

Picking apples at the orchard was a hit. Luke had lots of fun with his cute friend Ashton and it cost $5 for half a bushel(a rounded bucket)of apples! So far our favorite thing that we have made with the apples has been apple turnovers. Ta-sty.






I repeat only $5!



Ahhhh, seasons! Welcome back. Where have you been? The past 4 years in Az, I craved the fall and actually being able to drink cider and wear fun things like pants and closed toe shoes without sweating bullets. I have forgotton how much I enjoy that cozy feeling. Thank you seasons, I feel like myself again!

100% potty trained!

duck pond

We really liked coming to this duck pond in the summer. It is a few minutes away from our house and Luke was so excited about sailing his cool juice box boat in it. It didn't work too well but he had fun anyway. P.S. this is his current favorite shirt. He switches off wearing this one and his Buzz and Woody shirt. Expect it to be in many more pics!

going, going, gone

We love a good backyard hill.

the move

10 states and 2500 miles later we made it to Pennsylvania.

3. Texas
4. Oklahoma
5. Missouri

10. Pennsylvania

We stayed in New Mexico with our good friends, Betsy and Jeremy. It was so great catching up with them. They slept on the couch while we slept in their comfy bed in their in their adorable apartment. Oh, and Betsy was about 8 months pregnant... I still feel bad about that one.

Thanks for making Dave's day with this one, Jeremy. {Note Luke's handcuffs}

Amarillo, Tx

Oklahoma- soaking in the hotel hot tub.
Luke slept like this everyday. Blanket over his head and holding the rubber snake.
Missouri (above). Wt style at the gas station. Just trying to fit in with the hillbillies!



Michigan (below). We had so much fun staying with Dave's sister Ali and husband Jade. We stayed with them for a few days in Grand Rapids. It was very pretty and we couldn't get enough of the river in their backyard. Luke loved hanging out with the four boys and it was so great to be there for Connor's birthday and baptism.
Luke and Pen (Spencer).
They caught a hey dude (turtle in Luke language).








Goodbye hugs


We also stayed a night in Ann Arbor with Jackson and Cara. It was great to have lots of family in Michigan.

No more car!!!


First peeks of Pennsylvania!

Hershey Greetings!

We are back! The computer is fixed and I have about 15 million pictures that I have to do something with, so I will try to post a few times this week. P.S. Luke is diggin' his new big boy bed and new big boy undies.

Last days in Az

AZCOM-med school graduation. With Dave's parents.
Yes, folks he is a doctor now... scary stuff.


Last time with the Mortensen's. We miss them and wish that we could see their cute new baby boy.Betrothed and we totally made them hold hands in this picture!Graduation dinner at Pizzeria Bianco. Tasty, it is Oprah's favorite pizzeria in the country.Are you sick of my green shirt yet?

The night before graduation, Dave's school put on a dinner party. Here we are with our ward/school friends. With the Mort's againMoving day=pure torture. I never want to move across the country again, or anywhere else for that matter , it was so miserable. Thankfully some of Dave's friends helped us move. Matt worked wonders on getting everything to fit in and what a friend, Dave was looking for something to stand on and Matt just bends right down and boosted Dave up in true cheerleader style!
Saying our goodbyes at the Mathie's house. Matt (showing his love for Dave), Dave and Morgan.Jack (on the couch) totally not as comfortable as his dad with the displays of affection for other men. Max gave Luke a nice big hug though.Baby London giving Luke some goodbye loves.

Sarah, me and Lindsay
Goodbye forever Arizona!
