Jillyn & I went to Walmart to get a couple of things. I had to get nails. As we were walking down the aisle, Cooper had to get out so he could touch every little screw, or nail, or anything he could reach. He was in heaven in the hardware aisle.
Crazy Aunt Jillyn!
Jeff bought a basketball so the girls could shoot some hoops. They both really like it. Daisy is actually really good at making baskets.
We ended the night with a walk to get some shaved ice. Yummy! Not good that it is super close to my house. Cooper and I might just walk down there everyday.
I happened to have taken a picture of her that morning. Because for 1. She was wearing a shrug and 2. She was wearing a head band. We're branching out.
So this is Cooper's latest thing. He rides his bike down the sidewalk and tips his bike on purpose and lets it run him over. He then lays there for a couple of minutes and pretends to be dead.
Then he wakes up and is an animal. In this case he was a cat. He starts crawling towards us and meows. Weird I know. I have no clue where he comes up with this stuff. But he gets a good laugh so he keeps doing it over and over. Nice diaper.
The horses aren't usually out in the morning but we took this walk on a Saturday evening so they were out. There were 2 of them and the kids were picking the grass for them to eat. They were super friendly. It's a good thing they aren't out in the morning cause there would be alot of kids late for school. We spent a good 15 minutes there.
The girls had to show us their playgrounds so this is the back of the school. I still can't get over the view. So beautiful.
And that's the fun trip we get to take every morning and afternoon. I love it.
We made brownies for the girls when they got home. Notice the long sleeve shirt. It's Aug. 25th. We ran to Costco in the morning and it was actually really cold outside. Love it.
When we came out it was raining and when we pulled into Jillyn's parking lot this is what I saw. Daisy and I started laughing.
We went home and took naps then we went to the Provo temple and walked around. I think we found our new Sunday spot. It was so beautiful to walk around. The kids beg daily to go.
Anyways the real post. Our backyard. I love this place. So many tall trees and shade. Cooper is in heaven. 
There's a spot that grass doesn't grow and of course that's his favorite spot.
Daisy is in 4th grade. She got a male teacher, Mr. Bellak. He seems really cool.
Lindsay is in 1st grade and has 2 teachers, Mrs. McKinney, Mrs. Torres.
Jeff kept trying to guess all these animals that the mascot could be. Like wolves or cougars,something that has to do with living in Utah or the mountains. Nope. They're the Rock Canyon Roadrunners. Good thing we left AZ to be a roadrunner. The girls were kind of disappointed until I told them I was a roadrunner when I lived in MO. Didn't help too much.
You should have seen this kid walking the halls with us. He thought he was large and in charge. I really think he thought he was at his school.
The principal walked us to Lindsays classroom first. She met one of her teachers and she took her to her desk and said she could just wait for the kids to come in. We took Daisy to her class and she met her teacher and he had a girl in the class help her find a desk and get situated. It was actually harder this year to leave Daisy. She was super uneasy about not knowing a soul.
This is the view from there school. You actually can see Angel Moroni from their school. How cool is that?
I couldn't wait to pick them up! This is how they looked when they came out. I would say they had a great day! Even Daisy. The first thing she said to me was, "Guess what mom, all my friends are mormon!"
Cooper didn't know what was going on and he didn't like the fact that we packed his pack n play. I walked into his room to vacuum and he was laying on the floor with all his blankets and toys.
Daisy and Lindsay's room.
Our friends, The Moore's, were also moving that week so we had to have one last play date with them. This is Alyssa & Lindsay. They played so good together.
The Hall kids and the Moore kids.
Jenny, me, and our fun bunch of kids. They all had so much fun together. They were the one reason it was hard for us to leave. But I knew they were leaving too so it made it a little easier for us. Not really, but kind of.
Daisy and Megan. 2 peas in a pod. Seriously, Daisy has never had such a good friend like her before. They played every single day together. I sure hope she finds more friends like Megan in her life.
Lindsay & Alyssa. The 2 crazies.
One last picture of our apartment. Just to remember that we had to walk 3 flights of stairs everytime we went anywhere. Grocery shopping=not fun.
Beverly Hillbillies, that's us. So much cheaper that renting a Uhaul. I got to follow Jeff the whole way to Utah. Such a fun view. These were seriously some very trying and exhausting times, but also some of the best months too.
