We reached Montana on Thursday night and spent all day Friday there and left for Spokane Sat. Morning. We had a blast hanging out with the Browns.
On Thursday we headed off for Linda's house in Bozeman but we got to take a nice little break half way through in Rexburg, where Jill's Fiance Dane was living. He was living in the apartment he and Jill would move into after the Wedding in June and taking some classes but they had to do the long-distance thing for a couple of months which isn't easy so it was nice that we could stop by for a couple hours and see future Uncle Dane. :)
Grandma Chris
Mia and Ayden
Grandma Tresa
Kathleen's Gradparents
Lisa and Joel, Aiden, and Grecia
Next stop Utah. We stayed with Lance's Sister Lorie from Monday night thru /thursday Morning. The girls had a blast swimming in Aunt Lorie's pool. Maddi true to her fearless nature was even jumping of the diving board. We also got to see Leslie and her family and the girls just loved getting to hang out with their cousins. An sadly I have NO pics of our stay with Lorie (that just tells you how tired we were that first day) We also took a day to drive up tp Provo and see my Gradparents, Lisa and Joel, and my Mom and pick up a dresser, and then head to Sandy to see Grandma Chris.
My cute cute Niece Grecia
From Indiana our 1st stop was in Nebraska where we stayed at a hotel that had a small water park. this was a nice break for the girls.
The Moving Truck also had this lulling effect where anyone riding in it just drifted off to sleep (this would include Lance...poor guy....drove the whole way with no breaks....I think we must have had a little divine intervention because I don't know how he stayed awake....or maybe I should say...how he didn't crash when he wasn't awake.)
Lance drove the Moving Truck that was also towing our little Truck and Jill and I drove the Mini Van. The Moving Truck was DEFINATELY the cool place to be though and the Girls let me know that almost every time they were in the Van. :)
Off we Go! Jill and I in all our "No Make-up, We haven't slept in 2 days, Bliss!"
For a more detailed/hillarious account of our trip I will refer you to my sister Jill's Blog where she did her own post on our little adventure.

Wow! just thinking about your trip makes me tired. Moving across country is so hard. I love picutre of Ella peeking out the blankets with your sister holding her. Your sister is so pretty. I was sad to read you were so close here in Utah and I didn't get to see you. But I understand how busy you were and there are no hard feelings. :0)

I am SO sorry! It didn't even cross my mind that you guys are there now! How sad...we would have loved to have seen you guys.
Wow! What a lot of posts. I love all the pics and it was great to see Lisa and Jill, too. I still have a really hard time when we got rid of our Subaru because it was our car we brought our other babies home in. Now on to making memories with the Honda. Missing you and wish you had moved closer.
Kaz, those pictures are so cute. I miss the girls. That pic. of ella at the fire with me is SOO cute. She is sooo itty bitty. She has already gotten so much bigger! by the way it was so good to see you in Kennewick! thanks for coming!
Loved reading your sister's post. Marcus and I pretty much dread the cross-country drives. I can't imagine doing it with three kids (at Christmas that will be a reality though;).
It looks like you were able to see a ton of family and I am glad to hear you had a welcoming party when you arrived. It really makes such a difference!
Kathleen, I need to take a nap after reading all that. You make me want to get out of the house more. I can not believe that you did it all and stopped is so many places and you are happy in all of the photos. We miss you guys. How much does Ella weigh now and hows the dairy going?
