Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin

We jam packed each day with family and friends before we left.


Jess churning butter at Moyle Park in Alpine
Kate making a candle with Janita Neild at Moyle Park.



Washing clothes the Pioneer way with our cute cousin Kobe

We went to Thanksgiving Point with all the cousins (Jenny was in town so it was a real Party)
We swam and swam







We had sleepovers with our cousins.
Kyle and Ross and Jenny helped us clean and clear our the yard/shed. Jake and Mitch helped us move. We have such great family.

Goodbye House

Two of Spencer's best friends from his youth showed up to say goodbye.
On the Road
Wyoming had tons of these cool windmills.

We saw a lot of cool cars on the road.
Laramie, Wyoming.
North Platte, Nebraska

Kate said, "Why do they have their lights like this (as she tipped head) in this land?"
We found the coolest Pioneer Village in Nebraska. (Stuhr). We road our bikes around. They said the Temp was 93 but the heat index was 102, it really felt like 102.

I found this bike and ran and got Spencer-he wanted it sooooo bad.
Frogs everywhere
We pumped the coldest water over our feet, it felt so good.



There are Big things all over the states, this was our favorite, it was in someone's yard.
We were trying to take a picture of "Mitchellville" for Spencer's brother Mitch but the picture turned out cool, I was quilting with all this farmland in the background.

TREK bikes, just outside of Madison
The Capitol in Madison, it reminds us of Utah's
A boat harbor on Spencer's bike ride to school.
The path we take to get around on our bikes.
I took my bike to the Community gardens. it is about a block away from our Apt. It is acres and acres of garden plots, we get one next year.

The View from the Garden

Our Backyard. We have swings and slides and a sandbox and tons of room to run.

The park by the lake.

There is an Amish Community just outside our County. Cool!


Devin Mitchell and Granpa all came out to move our stuff.
It was pretty humid while they came. The girls loved playing with their cousin.

Go Badgers!!!!!!!
Chicago Style Pizza, they put the sauce on top. Our friends in Chicago introduced Spencer to it while he was interviewing for schools out here. Kate said she "Doesn't like the pizza in this land"

  3. I love all of Kate's "in this land" comments. Will keeps saying that everything in Wichita is new, even though it's just new to us. The other day we drove past a cemetery and he said, "I didn't know they had a new Wichita place that you bury people." :)

    Hope you guys are good! <3

  4. I have to agree with Rachel, Kate's comments got me laughing. Looks way funner than Athens (and don't worry, you don't know what humidity is until you've been to the South. :)
