Lehi Friends in Midway

I tried to gather up our old Lehi playmates to have a play time in Midway at our cabin.  I thought that it would be easier with all the kids to be able to run around there.  We had the Masers, Summers and Rex family.  It was too short and I was too deliriously sleep deprived to be much fun I'm afraid.  The kids seemed to have a great time playing together however despite my attempts to sleep through the night with a newborn and play hostess.  Sabrina took the reins in the morning and took them all to the Homestead to see the volcano.  It still makes be tired to remember how tired I was.  It was such a difficult return home for me after visiting.  I missed everything about my old life and was pretty miserable the first month back.  Additionally our house just sold this summer which made the move feel so much more permanent.  That made adjusting back to our life in Pleasanton seem even harder.

Emily, Alice and sleepy me!

Sam and Claire-bear.  Kate keeps telling me that she wants Claire to come to her birthday party.

How silly that I didn't get a group picture of everyone and that this is the only picture I have of Sabrina!  This one really is of silly TJ trying to ruin his mom's pictures and not be in any at the same time.

Meg and Shaylee.

Meg and McKenzie.

Kate, Conner and Brayden Rex.

One of Sam's Creations...a fort swing he figured out how to hang it, knot it and swing!

Sam and Calvin Summers....I still can't believe how much darker Calvin's hair has gotten!  

Below is a picture of Rachel holding Alice.  It was so wonderful to be able to make more memories with such wonderful friends.  How it made us all miss the good of days of running across the street or yards to play together.  Our distance has lengthened but hopefully our friendships will still remain throughout the years!
