As you can tell, these boys aren't the best at posing for pictures, or even looking at the camera, but we tried. I think it's hilarious to see how much taller Collin is than Chase. He'll get his growth spurt eventually!

Wheeler Farm
Chris decided that he was going to start working late one night week because he has a supervisor that works at night that he needs to work with a little more. Anywho.....he was gone one night so Chase and I went to Wheeler Farm with my friend Cammy, her husband and their little boy Collin. Collin is only 4 months older than Chase, it's fun having a friend so close in age. We brought dinner and had a picnic, then walked around and looked at all the animals. The boys loved the animals.

Girls weekend/River Run
Clara went to Missouri for a week and my mom brought her home so she was out here for a couple weeks after, which we always look forward to. Heidi's work has a timeshare at Zermatt in Heber and she was able to get it for two nights one weekend, so us girls decided to have a girls weekend. It was a lot of fun, we need to do it again soon!!
We ate at a really good pizza place that night, it was delish!
It was also the weekend of our annual river run and it was so fun! The weather was a little cooler up there than we were expecting it to be at first, but it turned out to be perfect. The river was a little faster than I remember it being last year, but that's what makes it fun! This year it was just immediate family that went.....everyone else didn't know what they were missing!
We went to Bajio for lunch afterwards which was a treat because I thought they all went out of business.
After the river run, Chris had a fun day with Chase. They went to Wheeler Farm where Chase saw all sorts of animals and loved the horses. Chris captured some really cute pics while they were there.
This little boy kills me!!! Doesn't he look so grown up?

Packin' up!
We put our house on the market at the beginning of June because we decided that we wanted a little more space and thought we would sell and buy a house while the market was still pretty good, and before the prices raised too much. I'm not sure we expected our house to sell in two weeks, but it did. I was thankful it sold fast but at that point we weren't exactly sure what we were going to do yet. We decided to build with Alpine Homes in Herriman. I am really excited!!( I'll give more details about that later.) We already had our trip to Missouri planned so we had to plan our move around that. We got back from MO on a Monday and had to move that following Saturday, which meant we had a lot of packing to do in a short time.
These are just pictures of the house being packed. It's kind of sad to move out of the house that we started our marriage in and had Chase in. We are moving on to better things, but it's still bitter sweet.
Here's what the front room looked like after everything was moved out. I really hope the new owner got new carpet because these carpets are NAST!
The last night we stayed in our house Chase was giving Chris the cutest smiles.
It's really sad to say goodbye to the house, but it won't be long until we are in our new house making new memories. Chris' dad and step mom were gracious enough to let us stay with them until our house is done, which we really appreciate!
The first couple nights after we moved we stayed at Chris' brothers house because his dad had company in town, so we moved on a Saturday and stayed at Neil's for three nights and moved into his dads house on Tuesday. Poor Chase slept in so many different rooms over the last couple months between going to MO and jumping from place to place, but he actually did really well. I was so proud at how well he adjusted to everything.
With that being said, there was one night when we moved in with his parent's that Chase woke
up in the middle of the night and would NOT let me put him down. So, I tried to bring him to our bed and let him sleep with us, but that didn't really work either. Finally, Chris took him to his bed and he cried for less than 15 seconds. I guess I should have done that an hour or two before. Oops!! I did get this cute pic though!
This will probably be the only time I'm able to get a pic of Chase in bed with us, he I'd definitely not a cuddler, nor will he sit still long enough to cuddle.

Trip to Missouri....over a month ago!
I'm a little behind on my blogging, but not that we are settled in one place for awhile, I hope to be more on top of it. We went to Missouri at the end of June for 11 days, it was so much fun and relaxing. I love going home!
Our flight was right around lunch time so we got through security, which was a little rough because my license was expired, then hit McD's for some lunch. (Chris' fave)
Chase had a lot of fun with Uncle Matt and Grandma and Grandpa, here are a few pics we got while we were in Branson.
Mom and dad bought a little swimming pool that was the perfect size for Chase. It wasn't too hot when we were there actually but it was still refreshing to get in the water. Chased LOVED the pool, it was so cute to see him in there, although he did try to drink the water and swallow some a couple times.
The missionaries came over one night and before they left they sang us a song, it was cute to watch Chase watch them sing.
We can't come to MO without seeing the Moore's!! They came up on the 4th of July and stayed the night, it's always a lot of fun to see them. Kenadee is just as sweet as ever. We love them!
You can't tell Chase had Lasagna for dinner can you??
The flight back was nothing less than miserable for all of us. I think Chase slept a total of 15 minutes the whole way home but was exhausted. Once we landed and got in the car, he was out in no time at all. When we got home and were changing him into his pj's he was drinking his bottle, still asleep! So glad to be home......little did he know, we would be moving in just a few days!!

One of the things I love the most about Missouri are the beautiful trees. I seriously love them so much. Chris was making fun of me because I couldn't get enough of them.
We left Chase for a night and went to Branson for a nice little getaway! It was a lot of fun. We went to the Price is Right show which was one of Chris' dreams. Funny story about that, the very first name they called to go up to bidding row was "Chris Spardle", which sounds a lot like Chris Wardle. Well I turned to Chris and said that his name was called and he went up screaming and high fiving everyone on the way just to find out that it wasn't his name that they called afterall. He had to do the walk of shame back to his seat. It was a lot of fun, even if they didn't give away very many prizes and we didn't get to play.
