The Exodus Continues

Whether we like it or not, Royce and AubRee left for California today.  I am a bit teary eyed once again.  We have been so happy to have them here, so close to us.  Royce has just three months of school left and he will be a real live optometrist.  That has got to be a pretty exciting milestone to look toward.  Russell was out of town most of this week but I was able to spend some last fun times with them.  I went over Valentine's night and watched the kids while Royce and AubRee had an actual date night. Think they had a fun time
Last night we went to Juicy Berry for Grace's actual birthday: 

Always a smile on little Grace's face, she is a little ray of sunshine, (usually).

Four years old today.

This morning I went over to help them get ready to leave and they were mostly ready to go but  I did get this cute picture of the sleepy kids:

Sleepy little angels

 Russell got home from a business trip just in time to repack and head to California with them, to help them by driving their pickup.  We had one last lunch together and then it was time to tell them goodbye, good bye Royce, AubRee, Grace and Kruz, we love you and will miss you. Thanks for all the fun times together.

Getting ready to load into the car and head to California.

I think we are going to have to hog-tie Colby and Jim to Provo so they don't leave also!!!!
