Fun, fun, and more fun!!!

So this is going to be like the longest post ever because we've done so many fun things lately and I haven't had a chance to blog about them. First off Anne and Lance moved to Arizona in the middle of August to go to Optometry school. We are so sad and miss them a lot but we're very happy for them and their new adventure. These are some pictures from their going away party.

Anne with the twins. She is such a good Aunt and is going to make the best mom someday.

The Friday night crew's last night together.

We've been having play dates with Julie Andersen and her twins and we love it. They are only two months older than Karter and Bella and they have so much fun playing together. I'm not sure who enjoys it more the twins or me. It is so good to talk to Julie about our twins because we know exactly what eachother is going through. She has been my lifesaver. So anyway this last time we got together her Kamree and Karter totally hit it off. Kamree kept giving Karter hugs and she actually gave him kisses. I tried to catch it in the picture but my camera has like a ten second delay and didn't get it but you get the idea. It was seriously so cute. And then the whole time Karter kept following her around.

Bella and Jeter played really well together too. We just love the Andersen Clan.

The weekend before Chad started his new internship we went up to the cabin and stayed the night. It was so nice to get away and it was beautiful in the mountains. I love how green it has been this year. We made hobo dinners and they were delish.

Then the next weekend we went up to Park City. Chad's parents have a timeshare up there and they had it for the whole week so we went there with Chad's sister Kym and her family just for the weekend. We went to the outlets and mostly just hung out at the hotel. It was really fun. On the way home we went through Heber and Midway. I lived there until I was 8 so its always fun to go back and see it. We went to this really fun park and had lunch and fed the ducks just like my family used to do when we were little.

Chad practicing with Karter to walk. He is so close.

Me and Bella just chillin.

We stopped to see Bridal Veil Falls on the way home.

So that following Wednesday me and the babies went back up to Park City with Chad's mom Ellen. We picked up our sister in law Amber and her new baby Haven. And then Kym and her boys came up on thursday. It was a girl slash lots of kids trip. It was exhausting but seriously so much fun. We went shopping around Park City on thursday and then went to Swiss Days in Midway on friday. Swiss Days was seriously insane. There were so many people there. I remember it from when I lived there but it has changed so much. There were so many different booths. We took turns watching each others kids so the we could look in the booths. I just couldn't believe how many people were there.

This was all of us. We missed Anne and our other sister in law Juli.

Just the girls

The babies just hanging out. There were so good the whole time we were there.

The monday we got back was Labor Day and we had to go to the Parowan festivities. It was amazing as always. The twins just watching with Grandpa and Grandma Westwood.

Karter enjoying his first sucker from BopBop. He loved it!

Bella enjoying her first sucker from BopBop. She also loved it!

We went to St.George and stopped at the park with Cher, Hudson, and Zoe. The babies loved Zoe in her carseat. They couldn't get enough of her.

Just this past weekend we went to the SUU football game. We tailgated before and then went to the game. It was a really good game but so weird to watch without Chad playing. This is Chad's first year of not playing football since middle school so it was a little weird for him to watch too. He was really nervous for them the whole time. I'm pretty sure he has no fingernails left.

The babies loved the game. Every time the music came on Bella would start dancing. And they would clap when everyone else did. It was really cute.
