A short update from the Arizonians! (If thats what people call themselves here!)

 Well, we have officially left our home in Utah. We've known all along that this day would come but it didn't make it any easier when it came time to pack up and leave. Here are our picture diaries of saying see-ya later to our awesome family.

 Taylor, Jentry, Brinlee, Raigen, and Hallie :)

 This wasn't the same day- but we made sure to visit

great-grandma Canova so she could meet Jentry before we moved!

 Me, Cheyenne, Jentry, McKenna, and Trevin :)

 Our official we're outta here picture with the moving truck that was nicknamed "hippo" on the drive :)

 Jentry all ready to go in her carseat saying goodbye to Chief with me.

 Mike givin' his momma a bear hug. He misses her :)

 Me and my Mom. We look happy, but we're sad....funny how we do that for pictures, huh!

 Travis and Mike drove down in the moving truck and towed my car behind them. Janae, myself, and Jentry drove Mike's car down. We used walkie talkies to communicate between cars part of the way, our name in Mike's black Accord was "Blackhawk", and their name in the big, maximum speed of 70, and more like 35 up hills was deemed "Hippo." As you can tell we tried to keep our distance just in case my car came loose and rolled off the trailer, that would have been ugly! Luckily the drive went smooth!

 We stayed the night in St. George at Mike's aunt and uncle's house, and made sure to visit Biker and Nuny the following morning before we started leg 2 of our long drive to Arizona! Here is Jentry with Nuny :)

 Biker got his turn for a cuddle too :)

 We were met by the EQ in our new ward to help us unload the truck so it went really quick! We're mostly settled here in our new place and it is SOOO much nicer than our last apartment, other than the fact that we were much closer to family there! Jentry seems to like it. She pretty much hates tummy time, but her Daddy likes to improvise and let's her practice holding her head up while he holds her. She's getting so good at it! (P.S. She hangs out in her diaper alot for two reasons, 1) it is so darn hot here, and 2) she spits up on her outfits like you wouldn't believe :) I stay nice and busy with the laundry!

 She is so happy for about 30 minutes after she eats. I've tried and tried to catch a smile but to no avail so far. Here's our cute girl hanging out on mommy and daddy's bed. She is pretty consistant now at smiling at me when I smile at her, or talk to her. It's so fun. She's also started to discover her voice and does this cute little high pitched sound when she's giddy, and goos at us too. Its so adorable, I just love her!



and so, we've begun our life in Arizona. Med school is in full swing for Mike and he seems really busy already, but he's taking it all in stride. Jentry and I stay home pretty much all the time, but we enjoy our time together and look forward to making more friends to have play dates with. Til then we just take care of our daddy and make sure he has all the love and support he needs :)

Hugs and Kisses to our all of our family back in Utah. (and Iowa!)

We miss you so much and can't wait til the Holidays when we get to come visit!

--Love, Mommy and Jentry--
