I'd wait until fall so that the transplantation doesn't stress them out as badly.

Definitely wait until fall.

How big are they?

They are probably around 3 feet tall. I have some great pictures, but don't know how to post them!

That's gonna be some big rootballs to move manually. You might consider starting to shovel root prune them now to allow for a somewhat smaller rootball when they are moved.

Shovel root pruning involves taking a sharp shovel and sinking it about 12 inches straight down into the soil in a circle around the plant. The circle should be at a point a few inches back from where you intend to dig out the root ball. This will stimulate smaller feeder roots to grow from just behind the point where the shovel cuts the larger roots. The extra feeder roots inside the root ball give the plant a better chance of survival and allow for a smaller rootball.

Good tip, Brandon.

Just don't get too overzealous with trying to make a smaller root ball. If you aren't careful you can cause too much stress, particularly during the hot dry months.

Thanks for the advice! I may chicken out and decide not to try it. I would sure hate to lose those beautiful bushes. I appreciate all your advice!

Don't chicken out. Just take your time and do it slowly. You could root prune (if you decide to do that) in about 10 minutes one day. Then next fall, you could dig the new planting holes one day. Dig, remove, and replant one of the shrubs on the second day. Dig, remove, and replant the second one on the third day. That way you donÂt have to do a lot of work in a single day. Don't forget it's cooler in the fall too, so you won't burn up working outside. You may get so excited that first day, you decide to complete the job right then.

Thanks to everyone for the advice. If someone is willing to give me a quick lesson on posting photos here, I would love to post mine to see if everyone else thinks the azaleas should be moved. Thanks in advance!!
