The move

 We had many tearful goodbyes to our good friends before we left.  My best friend Hailey with her new baby Miles.  Weston and Miles will be best friends too one day!
These two sweet girls were so sad to be separated.  Stella and Penny.  Best friends!
 We stayed a week at a friends' house in California while I recovered.  We had to be out of the Ritz's house the beginning of August, so this worked out great.  We finally left once I felt a little better and made the trip out to St. George.  Harrison watching "Cars" with his Cars snuggles.
We had a night from hell in the hotel room, and then headed up to Layton in the morning.  Weston got to meet his Great Grandma Melville.
 We got to spend time with Grammy and Popcan and cousins.
 We got to move into our house the second week of August.  The movers got all our stuff here undamaged and on time!  We were super happy with them.
 Since then we have tried getting settled.  The yard needed lots of work.  The garden was completely overgrown, but we are happy to inherit a cherry, plum and pear tree.  Tyler has already planted 2 apple trees.

We have been working on decorating the house and getting tons of furniture.  Tyler got me this big picture of Newport Beach for my birthday.  I love it and it reminds us of California.
 Snuggling in the new chair.
 Penny finally got a big bed!
 
I bought this beautiful Baldwin Baby Grand piano.  We were gifted some money from my Grandma Tucker, so I used that money towards this.  I have LOVED having a piano again.  It sounds and looks amazing.
We have been exploring Vernal.  We took the kids out to Dinosaur National Monument.  They loved riding the tram up.  We think the bones are awesome, but the kids ran through it in 5 minutes.
 We got passes to the Rec Center and Bridgette loves the climbing wall.  We go swimming often too (indoor pool!).
 Tyler started his job and has been pretty busy already. 
 The kids thought it was hilarious Tyler kept being advertised in the local newspaper.
So far, it's been okay, but moving is hard!
