Provo Friends

Fitting right in with our theme from August of "friends coming to visit"

we had several fun visits with our Provo friends!

Our time at BYU will always hold a special place in my heart. We loved that apartment

complex we lived in. We absolutely loved the wonderful people we got to know there.

It kind of broke my heart when we all moved away and went our separate ways-

it's a lot harder to maintain friendships like that long distance.

But luckily, and thankfully, in this age of technology it isn't too bad,

and although we'd love to see these people all the time like the good old days,

facebook, blogs, phones and emails have kept us in touch with those amazing friends!

My sweet friend Heidi Goodyear came into town to visit with her two beautifully kiddos. 

We met at City Creek and let the little guys play in the fountains there.

Besides the grumpy security man who was constantly telling us we were doing something

wrong and against the rules, it was a wonderful time!

Chase loved playing with Jack and Lily

and I loved catching up with Heidi.

Next we had our fun friends the Bennetts over. It ended up being the day we moved into our new house, but they were gracious about all the mess and we had a blast with them! Here's Chase and their sweet Ryder! Ryder is almost exactly in between our two in age, and while Chase loved running around with him, he also definitely took advantage of being the bigger kid and was a little awful about taking his toys away. Ryder got him back later that evening when he threw up on Chase's head :)

Our last visit came from my friend Ashley are her beautiful little girls. Chase had been talking for days about wanting to play with Brooklynn and Kynlee. Even though we see them pretty often, I always get caught up in talking to Ashley and can never remember to take a picture. So I tried this time and this was the best I got! My intention was to line them up on the bed and have them smile at me. I love how much Chase enjoys playing with these sweet kids, and sitting and talking to Ashley is one of my favorite things ever! 

I loved that we got to see so many of our wonderful Provo friends during August! All we really need was to see the Alders and it would have been complete!
