Back and Forth

Birch has been working in Flagstaff the last six weeks. It was his last rotation of med school and this Friday is the big graduation!!!

I stayed in Tucson with the kids during the week and Birch and I took turns driving back and forth on the weekends. I didn't think it would be too bad being alone since Trevor and Haley are a little older, almost 2 and 4. But it was rough. I am so glad to be back home with our family together.


Dad and Haley enjoying some time together.

Giving mom a few minutes alone: painting the house with water kept them busy!

In Flagstaff we played outside with the kids as much as we could. Here's a little hike we took by Birch's parents' house.




Conference weekend was amazing with four adults and two kids. I was able to listen and learn and understand answers to questions I had.


My sister Becca went to prom one weekend we were in Flag so Haley got to play dress-up. She was so sad when she couldn't go with her to the dance.


Trevor had his 4th birthday and all he wanted was brownies--easy!


These are his huge Superman muscles. :)

Been there, done that, with the driving back and forth and being alone during the week. It is rough! I'm glad you survived and get to be together now!

Wow-- your kids are HUGE! They are so sweet! And, about cleaning-- I have decided with all I have going on in my life, I am not going to stress about deep cleaning. :) So I keep up with the basics, but only deep clean when I get to it. Our bathroom is messy, but I'd rather spend time with Ren & Tristan when I can. Maybe when I get released from this calling I will clean again. haha!!!

I wish I could have gone and seen you guys while you were in Flagstaff! Trevor and Haley are so dang cute, I wish I could see them all the time! I bet it's nice for all that to be over, I don't like it when Josh leaves for even a couple days, I'm sure it would be harder with kids!
