What a month this has been. We started off in Idaho where we were able to see all of our family....and so many parties! No one can say that that week was not GREAT. We ended up back in Vegas for Nick and Sierra's Grad. What a blast it was to see everyone, and simply relax by a pool. I don't think that it could have come to soon. Relaxing was just what was needed. Mom stayed in Vegas to help us finish up all the last minute details. I could never express how much help she was and is. After what seems like a never ending move, she helped me to survive this. Around the 27th we finally have Sara and Jessica back in our arms. It truly is so hard without them in our lives every day. We have been enjoying every minute of having them with us. Now that all of our stuff is on a boat, or plane we have finally been able to play....and we have. We started off riding horses in the back yard. Of course Jessica would not get off, but others had fun riding behind her. And just the other night she let Kendrick know that she does not want to be a horse anymore...it did make us a bit sad. But she is over it. Moving on to the next best thing in life. Babies are all she is consumed with. The day before Solee came to our lives we all went on a hike to Mossy Cave. The kids played in the river, and Sara learned to skip rocks. It was a wonderful hike up to the water falls.

The next day we had an early start to have Solee arrive. Kendrick watched all the little ones, and they joined us a couple of hours later, to see their new cousin and sister. She is so cute, and the little kids are adorable with her. It has been nice to have everyone enjoying her. The next day Sara, Jessye and Jake went to the Wild life Museum... It was really great for this little town.

On Saturday our little fam took a hike in Bryce Canyon. We did the Navajo loop, as well as the Queens Garden. The girls loved it, and Sara could not get over her climbing skills!!! At the end it was a bit hard, but all was great at the days end. We needed to take off to Kim and Carols house to drop off Sir Deagan before we take off. It was so great to really relax with our family. We went swimming, stayed at a GREAT hotel with a fab dinner, had a camp fire with marshmallows, and we even had a chance to see Great Grandma Passey before we leave. I regret to admit that I did not have my camera on me all weekend. I did not get to record Sara and Jessica giving their papa his presents that they picked out themselves. Sara had to get him a Blue Power aid, and other such gifts. Jessica also was so proud of her presents she chose for him. It was a great fathers day! The girls were able to take a ride in the side Car. And it was so exciting for them.

Well we finally have received our visas from the fiasco that it was, and our plane is set to take off Thursday morning. The girls are getting so excited, and the plane could not take off any faster if it were up to Kendrick or I. Finally the adventure is truly setting in to action. We love all of you that have helped out in this move, and continue to support us. As far away as we are, you all hold a special place in our hearts. And we hope to see you all soon.

Bon Voyage!!

Kendrick, Karlee, Sara, and Jessye
