Boise Buddies

We are moving soon, and it's a bummer.  I know there are good things about moving, and I know it will be good once we move, but every time we start getting to really know people, we move on.  It is kind of annoying knowing that this isn't our last move either.  But we are expecting to stay at this next place for a little longer at least. This move will be our fourth in the 2 1/2 years we've been married.  

It is fun to look at all the places we've been though.  We have nothing but good memories.  We definitely haven't ever moved to get away from anyone.  We always meet fun people and that's what we miss the most when we move.  

Here are our friends Ryan and Ann.  We made ginger bread houses with them.  I volunteered to make one to decorate the tables as center pieces for the ward party and then they would be donated to the pediatrics unit at the hospital.  I invited Ryan and Ann over to make one with us.

Everyone thought they were just for fun, but then I told them what we were making them for.  This made everyone a little nervous.  It put pressure on them to make it look a little more presentable, which is tricky.  We are in no way design or construction experts.  This was Ann's first time making one, and the rest of us haven't ever made one that didn't fall over at least once while making it.

I would say it was a success!  Ryan and Ann's fell over once, and you wouldn't believe how many graham crackers and how much frosting is on the inside of their house to keep it up.  Ours is leaning, but standing strong. 

Here are the finished products!  How much more presentable can they get?!  

Ryan and Ann don't have any kids yet, and they love to snatch up a baby any time they can.  They approve of  Katelyn and she doesn't scowl at them anymore, so they must be friends now :)

These last three pictures make me laugh.  Each time we set the timer and had the camera take three quick shots. . . in hopes that we would get one of Katelyn not moving.  We decided to do some goofy faces and counted down with the timer and said ready, set, go!  I guess Ryan and Ann didn't realize how quick the three shots would be and didn't change much.  Katelyn looks like she's heading for their candies on their house.  David and I tried to be silly. 

 We will miss Ryan and Ann and all our friends here, but hopefully there will be nice people at our new place or we are coming back!
