Hello Cleveland

Now that we are finally settled I feel like I can blog again.  We have loved Cleveland so far.  We love our house, our neighborhood, and our ward.  The week after we moved in our good friend Ann came to visit from Wisconsin.  Carly was so excited to have Ann come play with her for and entire week!  We went to a farm, the zoo, and then hung out at home for 5 days because Carly and Holland (and me) got strep throat.  Ann was SO kind to clean up throw up, and help me deal with ornery, sick kids.  My camera was lost in an unpacked box while she was visiting so I didn’t get any pictures :( 

The week after Ann came our BFFs from Wisconsin, the Callisters, came to visit on their way back from visiting family in PA.  We had a blast with them.  We went to see the Kirtland sites, to one of Michael Symon’s restaurants, B-Spot, just a couple minutes away from our house. We also went to the Christmas Story House, and an Indians game.  We stayed up late and played games like the old days, and The Callisters even brought us a 24 pack of  our favorite soda ever…Sprecher Root Beer!  Sadly it only lasted like 3 days!

 

 

Thanks for coming to visit!

Saying Goodbye

A few weeks before we moved we tried to cram all our parties in so we could spend as much time as possible with everyone before we moved.  We got together with Casey’s best friends and their families. I love getting together with this group because all these guys’ wives are my besties now too!  Casey has been friends with these guys since High School!

The wives, I love these girls!

We got together with my family on my birthday a few weeks before we moved.  I was trying to take in all my favorite things that I already miss so much about Utah.

My sister Brooke.  My sister Kristen was at the party too, but she had to leave to teach a cake deco class.

The 4-3 year olds, or aka “the terrible foursome.” I just came up with that, but it’s so true! 

Carly’s other best friend cousins on the Green side. Carly and Emersyn (Left) are 2 weeks apart.

Carly’s BFF neighbor, Maddie.  Carly and Maddie got matching tricycles and rode them around our four-plex parking lot almost everyday!  Zach, in the background, loved to join in too.
