On the Move

Our time in Vegas is done.  We packed out last week and are headed out to Monterey, CA...via Colorado!  We have time before Ed starts school and our house is ready so we're off to visit friends & family in Colorado.  
The girls did great on the 8+ hour days in the car.  Ed climbed back with them for part of the drive through Wyoming....snacks & daddy the ride doesn't get much better!
Our first stop in Colorado is in Estes Park at the YMCA of the Rockies.  The girls spent the first day in camp so Ed & I enjoyed a hike with the other two.   The weather is perfect - so nice to be out in trees, listening to the river and just enjoying God's creation!
Today we went into Rocky Mountain National Park.  The big hit of the trip was the elk that were all over as well as the snow that was still on the ground.  It was beautiful to get out and see all the views along the way...even the Continental Divide!  The younger 2 were asleep in the car when we made this stop... one I remember making as a child!  We're just so thankful to have this time together as a family after so many vacations at air show locations - it's wonderful!

Madison's Graduation

Madison Graduates PreK!

I'm a little behind with posting! Last Saturday, May 31st Madison had her PreK graduation. It was so sweet - they walked in and received their diploma, sang some songs and recited a Bible Verse. Makes me sad that our little girl is growing up...time goes way too fast sometimes!
My parents flew in for the graduation (and to babysit while Ed & I go house hunting!) Madison was just beaming up on stage looking out at us - she was thrilled to have us all there!

Our Family with the Graduate!I think Madison was most excited about her tassle! We have Hannah Kate's from 2 years ago - always been a coveted item in our house! She didn't let go of the flowers either - she loved her graduation celebration!

Madison's ready for Kindergarten!
