There are two reasons a couple of our kids miss living in Utah and at least in part, resent the move altogether...2 1/2 years ago. Those reasons have names:
#1 Rachel
#2 Seth
in no particular order...
When we visit Utah, they are always the second thing on our agenda after seeing Ama. And lucky for us, they were in town last weekend on a Disney vacation. We scooped up the chance to meet them at Laguna Beach last Sunday after church for a family activity of flying kites, building sandcastles, and catching up. Ah, now that's a relaxing and wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon as a family!
Funny how when you move away you really truly see what friendships stand the test of time. Rachel and Seth Ogden were McKenzie and Monson's first friends, really. Kenz was just 22 months and Mons was 7 months when they first started playing in our great American Fork cul-de-sac. And I have to say...I miss Amy dearly as my next door neighbor, pilates partner (ha! that didn't last long!), rollerblading buddy, decorating & project sounding board, confidant, and friend.
We {heart} The Ogden Family!
My camera battery gave out before I got a picture of the whole gang...I'll post it as soon as I can get it from Amy.

We called that kind of friends golden because they need no polishing to keep them shinny... rare and beautiful gift. jan
Hello Shay, I was just stopping by to tell you that I will be keeping my kids home from school tomorrow because of prop 8. I know of several people that will be doing a sick out with their kids. I will sure be glad when all of this election stuff is over.
McKenzie looks SO grown up in that picture!
Way cute picture! Moving away from friends is always hard. Glad that you guys got to catch up with them.
Aw man...they actually make me feel really old!! I mean I babysat all of them when they were itty-bitty and I watched all of your kids grow up and now I'm having my own! How crazy!! I'm glad you've been able to keep in touch with all of us American Fork people! I miss the neighborhood as well! It's a hard one to replace...I just don't think it's possible.
Wow! It's been a while since I've checked your blog. This shout out to the kiddies is so sweet. We had such a nice time with y'all that Sunday afternoon. Thanks for being such great friends. I will email those pictures to you this week sometime.... I PROMISE!
We live in Utah too :)
