Let the Craziness begin . . .

           At the fourth of July we made the difficult decision to move from New Mexico back to California.  The few people who look at this blog already know all the details so I will spare them.  Plus it will make me cry.  We spent the month we had left working non-stop on the house--CURT and me keeping the kids out of his way and trying to do things with friends.
             Anyway . . . Every summer we get these two awesome cousin/friends together and Brynne got to stay with us for a little while.  It was just going to be 4 days, but we were able to extend it to about 10 which everyone was super excited about, AND neither us nor my brother had to do any driving!!  I have a friend in our Albuquerque ward who had a sister in my brothers ward and they took Brynne both ways for us since they were already going!  I did a little babysitting in return.

writing with quill pens!?

 Trips to the zoo (so thankful for the double stroller than can fit an infant and Brett AND Heidi if need be)


 water feature turned out to be the favorite thing there--it was pretty hot




 Since we were moving we spent as much time as we could with friends--Ryan with Lars-one of his two bosom buddies, and below with his other Scottie at the skate park on their scooters.

 Brett learning the ways of the scooter (Nicole and Brynne in the background)

 Making a million really cool Harry Potter wands --should have taken an after shot of all their completed ones they turned out really cool.
 Nicole and Brynne got to take a week long, hour a day synchronized swimming class while Brynne was here with a performance at the end of the week. 



Warning extreme cuteness



 Lots of friends. . .





Here are the four of us that are moving.  Laura and Jaime (on the left) to DC for a Sandia program and will be back to ALBQ in 2 years. Summer, the friend next to me moved to Idaho to be close to both her and her husbands families AND get her family of 6 out of a little apartment and into a home!

I so wish I could have been in at least one of those pictures! So sad we were gone.
