June 2022--Graduation and Goodbye Arizona

GOODBYE NORTH CANYON WARD

We have absolutely loved this ward. They do preludes and musical numbers every week. Many other wards follow the 20/80 rule where 20% of the people do 80% of the work, but the opposite is true in this ward. The members in North Canyon are always ready to serve and help out. The youth leaders have been amazing with our kids, and Jared and I have enjoyed serving in the Primary during our time here.
We had many wonderful ward members come and help us load the moving trailer. 

Brooklyn with her amazing Sunbeam/CTR 4 teachers. 
They were sweet and gave her a stuffed animal tiger as a good-bye gift. Now Rory has a friend.

A picture with our good friends, the Bergeron family. The girls have grown really close over the last 4 years. There may have been a few tears shed. 

GOOD-BYE TOOTH

In all the craziness of the move, Audrey lost another tooth.

GOODBYE HOUSE


The kids in front of our house for one last picture. This has been a great house for our family for the last 4 years. We will miss it!

HELLO MILITARY LIFE

We spent 10 days of TLE living on Luke Air Force Base while we finished getting our house ready to sell and while Abby, Maddy, and Nathan attended our stake youth camp called Moroni's Quest. The kids enjoyed swimming at the base pool and playing at the aircraft themed playgrounds.


JARED'S GRADUATION
Jared gave a really inspiring speech at graduation.

Jared with his parents and his brother Bryan who all flew out to see him graduate. Afton and their girls came too, but Afton was kind enough to stay at house with Brooklyn (who was feeling sick) so I could attend the ceremony. 

Jared with our family, minus Brooklyn who was home sick.
The Graduate! We are all so proud of him and his hard work.

SIGHT SEEING 

Bryan and Afton came down for graduation and to do some sight seeing with us. It was a nice break from all the packing and moving.


We took a tour of this interesting historic house in Phoenix's historic district.


The kids had fun playing in the hotel pool with Carissa and Dantzel.










The kids had fun at the McCormick-Stillman RR park!
