Hangin' at the Fosters...

Last weekend we visited Paul and Molly in Richfield, UT for a few days. Brad found out there was a job available at the middle school there after having visited a number of the schools in the area. It sure would be fun to end up in Richfield so that we could live close to Paul and Molly again. When we lived near each other in Utah county we were able to do so much with them and we had TONS of fun.

This trip wasn't all business, though. We watch a few "Office" episodes that we had missed, played Settlers of Catan (Cities and Knights version) late into the night, watched City of Ember with the kids, rode the Rhino, played a the park and even got in a little shopping (yes, in Richfield).

Noah and Hyrum hung out with each other at the bar for every meal. The two had apparently had such a good time that when we took Noah away for a bath, Hyrum cried because he thought that he had lost his friend!


Ian is quite the narcissist (who isn't at 3) and always has to drive--good thing that his cousin, Lucas, is a good sport. These two were the best of friends and the most bitter enemies depending on the time of day--we think that they parted on good terms, however, and are looking forward to seeing each other again.


We threw almost all of the kids into the Rhino and headed out for a little jaunt in the hills just outside of town. The kids had a great time and begged to stay longer, but because we ran out of cookies we had to head home.


Nora and Mae had TONS of fun on this trip (we credit Avery and Lydia for being good enough sports to play with the "younger kids"). They had so much fun, in fact, that they spooned well into the night.


Thanks, Fosters, for showing us such a GREAT time! We will be back again soon--this time, however, you may only provide ONE yummy dessert dish per day, Brad got sick because he ate so many of your chocolate-chip cranberry cookies and ice-cream pudding--not to mention the black-tie Cheesecake Factory cheesecake we had for his birthday!

Hope to see you guys again soon!

How fun! So, when are you coming out to Ohio to visit us? We wish you the best with your job search. That would be fun for you to live near Paul and Molly again. Their kids have grown up a ton! I remember seeing a photo of the girls with Mae when they were a lot smaller! Noah and Hyrum look too cute up at the bar. I love the classic Ian photos--always in a car. Looks like you had a great time!

Sounds like you had a ton of fun, but no moving by them. We need you here in Davis County!

Noah is getting to be so big now, and I can't believe how much Mae has grown. Good greif ya'll haven't been gone that long and she looks so mature. Aubrey's Samuel is getting so big and we enjoy him soooo much.
