In May of 2010 we sold our house of 9 years leaving behind dear friends and family. Don Patton became a new name in our home. Joey hears the girls say, "MOM! Don's here!" Joey - "Who's Don?" Me - "The realtor, remember we're trying to sell the house."
Joey moved to Eagle, ID to live with now great friends (Jared and Lisa Young) from February to June. Life was crazy in Utah for awhile. New baby and and having showings was not fun. Brinlee asked if Joey and I were DIVORCED!
Grandma J made the trek up to our new home, I even pulled a U-haul trailer behind us. I couldn't have put my kitchen together without her!
Today was the day! We did it, along with 50 million other people. Brinlee recieved a free pass to Roaring Springs for a reading accomplishment. We stayed until close (8 p.m.) and the girls had a blast riding 'BIG' slides with dad. Emery and Mackelle enjoyed the kiddie area. Super nice life guard held Emery's hand the whole way down the slide because she was nervous. I was waiting at the end....
Megan did not like being in the boy body!
The waterpark can be seen from the freeway. Our favorite rides were Thunder Falls, Kiddie Kowabunga, Enless River and Double Trouble Drop Slides!
One year, two soccer seasons, 2nd grade and preschool complete later, we still miss our friends and fam, but couldn't be happier with our new family in Meridian. Brinlee was never worried about us having a social life. "Dad we've got a pool we're gonna have friends!"
