Good Bye El Paso--We'll miss you!

It poured our second to last night in El Paso.
Joey and all the friends: Hailey Toleman, Madison and Ethan (in the back) Keifer, and Lauren and Mathew Anderson. It was really funny and cute because Joey seemed to develop a crush on Lauren right before we moved. He LOVED to play with Lauren and would follow her around. I even caught him putting his arm around her while they talked during dinner. He told me the next day that he liked lauren's pretty purple shirt--it was so sweet. At least I know he'll be a kind boy who notices details.

Mike and Bonnie Anderson puttinga sprig of mint in the desert they made for our going away dinner.
Joey and sweet Lily. Lily was a friend of mine who is single and so she became one of our many babysitters. Joey loves her and always requested her whenever he knew he was going to have a baby sitter. Lily also helped in Joey's sunbeam class.
Delilah is a new convert that I love! She cracks me up. She's hiding to take 10 punds off.
My sweet friend Carmela Zargarnaga. Either she was born 35 years too early, or I was born 35 years too late, but we ended up being great friends. She is hilarious! And a butter addict. She would buy those ridiculously sweet krispy cream doughnuts and eat a pat of butter on each bite of doughnut--it makes me sick just thinking about it.

Things we loved about El Paso: the constant sunshine--I really needed an overdose of it after living in Buffalo; the wonderful, sweet people; our amazing ward (11th ward)--it really felt like family; getting to hike in the mountains and go up the mountain tram; brisket burritos and doughnuts from Vista Market on Zaragoza--yummmmmm! Seeing an actual Road Runner running across the road; Joey thought the tumbleweed was hilarious; Peter loved the great staff at Ocean Dental; The hummingbirds that came to our house; and mostly our amazing friends who were so welcoming and loving--we will miss you all a lot!

This video is of Kimball being so cute at silly. We were at the Keifers where Jasmine made us an amazingly delicious dinner, and Kimball was going crazy.

I agree, you are so beautiful! And it looks like you had some neat friends in El Paso. It's so fun to have older friends like that...I love her butter addiction! Yuck! :) I hope all is going well in San Antonio so far! I'm impressed you're already blogging!

What cute friends you had! That lady must be Ashley in the future - she used to always eat chunks of butter.
