Helping the Milton Family unpack in Jonesboro

Emily and Dan's new house in Arkansas.  Kaylee and I drove over from Gatlinburg after the family reunion to help them move in. It was a lot of fun!!

Emily's kids decided to have a campout under the bed.  They even pulled the crib mattress under there and Caitlyn was sleeping in the tiny space between the mattress and the bottom of the bed.

 Kaylee was invaluable in keeping the kids busy so Emily and I could unpack!!

Matchy matchy - and not even on purpose!  Their mothers must both shop at the same clearance rack :).

Drive to Utah with Emily and kids

I had the pleasure of taking an "all-expense paid vacation" to Utah at the end of July. I accompanied Emily and her children (very cute traveling companions) on a 4 day trip to their new home in Springville. Dan went ahead with his dad and the moving truck while we made more frequent stops and arrived a day and a half behind them. After a few days of unpacking and a nice visit to the temple, they flew me back to Florida. It was a really good time.

Adam took us on base to see his home away from home.

Yummy oatmeal for breakfast before church!

We also stopped in Albuquerque and stayed with one of Emily's mission friends, Hermana Gardner.

I couldn't get over the wheat and #10 cans in the Utah grocery stores.

Beautiful view outside the Provo temple with PERFECT weather!

Trip to Tallahassee to see Milton cousins

We visited Emily and the kids for the day and went to the old and new Capitol buildings in Tallahassee. It was a little reminiscent of Kaylee's fieldtrip! There were enough bigger kids to keep an eye on each smaller kid, and we had a good time!

Another visit from the Milton cousins

It is ironic that even though we are moving closer to Emily & Dan, we likely won't see them as often. We have loved having them come to visit every month when they attend the temple. On their last visit to Lakeland, we took a side trip to the park.Derek comforting Jeffrey after a run-in on the big hill.

Caitlyn could have done this all day!
