Our first week in Utah

 When we first arrived in Salt Lake we were able to have our first visitors... Kate and Becca.  These two girls were our best buddies in Kearney.  I love that they were willing to drive over and see us.  We miss them terribly! 


Pete and Linda were able to come and help with the move.  Although our stuff wasn't here, they still were a tremendous help.  Can you imagine entertaining your kids for days with a laptop and a couple my little ponies?  They saved the day!  

We were able to head down to Orem days and visit Brenden's cousin Kelsey and her family.  It was a blast. Despite Pete's face, he really did like the roller coaster.



We made many trips to the splash pad. 


We stopped by the mall one evening and they were having free pony rides.  Score. 


Jenna, Cora, Noah, and Lorinda were driving up to WA and stopped to stay at our house.  We had planned on being settled for about a week before they came. What we didn't plan on was not having any stuff!  It was fun having 5 kids and 5 adults staying in a completely empty house.  No really, it was.  We had a great time and no one seemed to mind that the only seating we had was one couch and a bunch of camping chairs. 



Everyone left and went back up to WA and our stuff was delivered the next day. Despite the speed bumps things have been great and we are slowly settling in.  We are so lucky to have such wonderful family who would drive an entire day to help us out.  We can't thank you enough!
