Before we left Utah

In the month before we moved to Iowa, we mostly hung out with our family and friends and soaked up as much of them as we could. I cried a lot. Gabe began to refuse to say good-bye to anyone, even if we were going to see them the next day. BUT we also did some really fun things. Here are a few pictures of those fun things.

Trying to take a photo of all the Balzotti boys. These are all of Gabe's cousins on Jon's side. I stole this from Debbie's blog. I think there are better pictures out there but I haven't seen them yet, hint hint Tyfani! It was hilarious!

We went to the Annual Springville Folkfest. Again, I stole the picture from Debbie. It is the only one any of us took so I am using it but don't believe for a second these boys just sat there. They were up and dancing and running around. Fun was had by all.


Gabe got to ride Will, one of the beautiful horses belonging to our friends Ken and Jane Naylor.



We got to live at my mom's house. This is the only picture I have there but it is a lovely place and we are so grateful for her generosity. These boys are pretty cute!


And of course, one last trip out on Aimee's boat. Gabe now thinks all boats belong to Aimee and is always disappointed when he sees one and Aimee isn't on it.

We love all you Utah folk and miss you terribly.
