Andy's Graduation and Moving

We made it!  Andy is done with school forever (we hope)!  We got to Kansas in one piece!  The end of April was full of activities as we packed up our life in Utah and got ready to move to Kansas.

We were lucky enough to have my mom fly in on the Tuesday of graduation week to help us with packing and getting ready to move.  Really, we just wanted another person for Isaac to play with.  And play we did!

Isaac has decided that apples are AWESOME! I can't eat one anymore without him giving me big eyes and wondering when I'm going to share.

Isaac loves playing tug-of-war!

Andy's graduation was a little long for a 5 1/2 month old like Isaac.  Luckily he is turning into a pro at sleeping wherever we happen to be... as long as there's no organ music.  Seriously... the kid doesn't like organ music!  He was fussy all through the processional at commencement and then fell asleep as soon as it was over.  Gotta love it!  Same thing happened at convocation the next day.

The day after graduation, we loaded up the moving truck with some help from Andy's brother Chris, both sets of parents, and some of the awesome guys from our current and old ward in Provo.  Since time had got away from me, any thoughts of having a nicely organized box inventory listing exactly what is in every box went out the window as we threw things into boxes and put them into the truck.

The actual drive out to Kansas really wasn't too bad!  It took us a little longer than normal since we took longer breaks every time we stopped for gas so that Isaac could move around a little.  When it came to the actual travelling part though he was an awesome travel buddy.  We sang songs and played with a little tin bucket and there was minimal fussing.  I was so grateful because I had just had nightmares of him screaming the whole way to Kansas!  The thing that helped the most was leaving Denver early in the morning so that we could drive for a few hours before Isaac woke up for the day.

We were very happy when we got in to Kansas and my sisters had dinner all ready for us!  Now we are loving life here.  Isaac is so happy to have more people to play with him during the day!!
