Moving Away

So when we were planning on moving to Arizona months ago, we told Jared that if he caught a lizard we would let him keep it.

Well. I got lucky and he never caught a lizard. That is until two days before we were planning on moving.

It was so tiny. After one day it had enough of the jar it was in and I convinced my kind hearted Jared to set it free.

Here is the little fella.



This is how we found Novalee on one of our packing days.

She has no fear.

Just for fun. "Sisters"

When you're moving sometimes you just have to eat your cheesecake and little sausages outside. :)



All packed up Monday November 8th, we spent the night in Casa Grande. But then Jared, Sadie and I got up super early and drove to Tucson, so Jared could go to school one more day there.

Jared brought cupcakes for his class.


This little girl, "Kylie" held Jared's hand going outside and then jumped into this picture with him. It was kind of cute.
After cupcakes, everyone took turns saying why they liked about Jared. It was really sweet.

Sadie had her two month check up that day too.

Look how peaceful she is just sleeping while we waited for our turn with the doctor.



She was 12.1 pounds and 23 3/4 inches long.

And she got SHOTS!

What we left behind in Arizona.

Bye Bye pool side.

On our way to Utah we stopped at Montezuma's Castle.

Here's one of the fam, just outside the park.



I loved seeing trees again! And look at all the Fall colors!




Here's the castle.


Perhaps not grand, but definitely neat.



Sadie's been to a lot of places already and she's only two months old.

She can add the Marble Canyon to the list now too.



I think Jared will love this picture when he is older. It's pretty cool!


On the way to Bountiful, we got to spend a few nights with Grandma Beatty in Hurricane. It was great to get to meet her and visit for a couple of days. I thought it was great that we got a picture of this...

While there we went to Zion's National Park (We love our annual National Park Pass).

Can you tell our camera is on a timer? Wes is counting, he will be forever captured saying, "twoooooooo." :)



Here are some more pictures of our hike.

Now I know that Novalee is my daughter and therefore I am bias. I also know that a person's looks aren't that important. But you can't deny that she is charming. I just love her!

We made it to Bountiful without any real issues. We loved our apartment as soon as we saw it. I just love everything about Bountiful! I was giddy for the first three days or so we were here about the whole thing. I probably even squealed a few times. (I try to stay pretty even mannered most of the time). :)

Anyways, in case you were wondering, we're really happy here.

I have photos of it here but seeing as it is after 10pm and sleep is precious when you have an infant, they will probably have to wait for another day and another post.
