An Oliver Update

Guess what? We're in Arizona! And to celebrate, I will show you a photo journal of our trip. (Lucky you!)

My mom and three great, service oriented friends. They were there when I needed them. Thanks girls!
One last family gathering. My picture of Rose and Cooper didn't turn out.

My dad after working on our 1991 Suburban. Thanks to him and Dave doing a little work on it, it made it to Arizona with no problems at all!
The Browns loaned us their trailers, one for donations, one for dump. This one was heading for the dump.
My dad painted much of the house himself. He did have some help upstairs from some of my friends, and a little help downstairs from Landon. He admitted in the end that he is the one that spilled the paint!
Regan saying goodbye to her teacher. She loved her. She was also Porter's sixth grade teacher, bless her.
Our sweet neighbor Mari, who not only stole Cooper while we were trying to get last minute things done, but also made a travel kit for each of the children. She has always been a great neighbor, very kind and giving. We will miss her and her family for sure!
Another great neighbor, Lani. She was like another grandma to the little boys, especially when Grandma and Grandpa were on their mission. Landon will especially miss her grandson who was one of his best friends.
I didn't get pictures of everyone who helped us out, or even all of our neighbors. Just because I don't have a picture, or don't mention your name, please don't think you aren't appreciated. I was completely overwhelmed with people dropping things off for our trip, stopping by to lend a hand, or just giving a hug when I needed it. We have been so blessed the last three years to be surrounded by so many family members and friends that have supported us.
