For years Grammy and Papa have been traveling back and forth between their home in Idaho Falls, and their home in Arizona. Living in two places was becoming challenging for them, so they decided to sell both homes, build a new one in Arizona, and make that their permanent residents. We're so sad to see them go, but we totally get it. We're just grateful for the many years they lived by us, and could be there for our kids big events. And on the bright side, we have a great, sunny place to go visit! Most of Mark's family is in Arizona, so trips there will be fun!
We spent a few days going through their house, getting it ready to sell. Sawyer, Sam, and Christie helped get the yard and entry area looking good. Papa and Mark took lots of trips to DI, and the transfer station. Grammy and I went through the rooms organizing and deciding what to keep and what to get rid of. Bailey and Mason carried stuff out to the garage, and helped us sell tons of stuff.

| They found Bridget's old dog collar! |
 |
| Hahaha! Sawyer and Sam cleaning up the yard. |
 |
| We found a closet full of old pictures. Bailey and Mason got a kick out of our old high school pictures! |
 |
| I love this picture! Bailey and Mason carried the scary babies around, but Sawyer wouldn't even touch them! |
The house only took a few weeks to sell. Grammy and Papa had to come back up, and only had a few days to get everything packed up and moved! Mark was over there during the week getting stuffed packed up, and the rest of us went over on Thursday to help get the truck loaded.
 |
| So sad! So many memories in this house! |
 |
| Santa traveled here years ago from CA, and now will go live with Scott in Arizona! |
 |
| Mark was a good packer, but we still barley fit everything in the truck! |
 |
| These two were big helpers! |
 |
| Truck loaded and ready to head out! Sometimes the best decisions are also the hardest. We are actually glad they decided to do this. We knew having two places to maintain and traveling back and forth was starting to take a toll on them, but we sure hate to see them go. |
We love you Grammy and Papa, and we'll miss you!
