Ok I didn't think I would be emotional a week later doing this post but I'll blame the pregnancy on my tears. Last Monday I had to say good-bye to 2 of my FAVORITE people in the world and my cute little bug, Miss Briss. Abe (my big little brother) found a temp job in Colorado. They will stay there until Thanksgiving and then head up to Idaho where he will be going to school in Rexburg for 4 years. I know many families don't live by each other but it is going to be hard. I just love them and we are very close. Abe and I have always been the best of friends and Shantay is the best addition to the fam. Of course what can I say about my first niece, she is a doll and not being able to watch her grow during the first years of her life is one of the hardest parts. Abe and Shantay have been the BEST uncle and Aunt to my kids, they loved them as if they were their own....truley. My kids are wild and hard for some to love =) But I know this is what they need to be doing for their own little family. I guess I just need to find ways to make money so I can go visit them more often.
The whole Fam-Damly
Cousins!!! My kids LOVE Bristol. They ask about her all the time.
We are all cry babies and took a pictures right before they drove off.
Off they go. I week before, Abe and my dad took some stuff they don't need right now to Rexburg and put it in a storage unit up there.
This is out of order but the night before was Sunday so we had a big BBQ dinner. The boys played a little soccer.
Ryker Bday was in a few days so Auntie SuSu made him a big Oreo cake....The cream stuff was so good.
Well I love you guys and know you will do great. We will text and call often and Shantay you have to start a blog so I can see Briss Briss grow!!! Thank you for your great examples and being the bestest brother and sissy-in-law ever.

OH so sad! We're so close to my sis Becky and her husband Sean, I think we would be so lonely if they moved away! They need to get in touch with my sis Jessica and her husband Tyler up in Rexburg, they would have lots of fun together, who knows they'll prob be in the same ward. Well hopefully those school years will go by quick!
:( Sad that their gone but hopefully they will be back soon right? Happy birthday Ryker boy!
Tell Abe and his family good luck for me! We highly recommend living away for a while. This will be some of the bestest times in their lives. How cool for them!
Tears! :( That's hard to lose them and I'm sure it's hard for THEM to leave family. I wonder how that feels..... Well tell Aunt SuSu to get crackin' on some kids so you have another baby to drool on. Oh wait, YOU'LL be the one with a baby soon. Funny how you still don't look pregnant. I liked your family picture. So interesting to see how families change as everyone grows up and gets married!
Wow, they sure snuck out of here! I had no idea. What a bummer but neat that they are starting a new chapter in their lives. Im glad you guys are here to stay...just like us:)
Your mom looks awesome in those family pics! On the upside Abe can play baseball with Steven and Michael when he gets to Rexburg;)
