Happiest Place on Earth x2

okay, it's been a crazy month and a half.  We put our house on the market and we had accepted an offer after showing the house for about 48 hours!  It was a perfect situation because they would allow us to rent back from them until school is out so we wouldn't be scrambling for a place to stay.  This was such a blessing to have it go fast. We didn't have to stress about keeping the house perfect for too long.  Shortly after selling our home we made an offer on a home in AZ before we had even seen it in person.  We had looked at pictures, looked into the schools in the area, and neighborhood.  When we felt really good about that particular house we had some of the AZ Partridges walk through for us.  It was a little scary, but we feel that Heavenly Father is leading us there at this time. This is a bit of a leap of faith.  Brett will be working remotely from home once we get down there and travel up to Utah occasionally to make sure everything is running smoothly here.  We are really looking forward to this new adventure in our lives. We will leave a piece of our hearts here in Utah too.  Every night as I'm doing dishes I look out our window above the sink to the amazing view of Utah valley and I think about the people and things that I will miss.  It's funny because when I was young I never would have imagined myself living in Utah, but after 11 years it has really become home. 
  Over Spring Break we took a truckload of our things down to AZ to store at Grandma and Grandpa's house until we can come down and move it into our new home.  We were also able to take the kids to see the new house.  They are really excited, mostly about the pool.  Then we caravaned over to Disneyland!  It was the perfect vacation and a great get away from everything.  The boys had so much fun with their cousins and loved watching a few of their cousins perform on the stage.




I think out of everything Owen and Emmett were most excited about meeting Captain America and Spiderman.  They waited in line really well.  Owen drank a little bit of his water and then shut the lid and said he wanted to save the rest for Captain America because 'he was probably really thirsty'.  He was so cute giving him his used water.  Cap' took it happily and was so sweet with the boys. 

 Spiderman was funny and such a great character.  The boys had a hard time making webs with their wrists and fingers so he stopped to help them get it just right. . . or at least mostly.  


 Hyrum liked meeting Pluto and they all liked meeting Chip and Dale.
