we made it!

 Vegas or Bust! We didn't bust----we made it! Our vehicles did great,,,the girls did great...the animals did great! It was ALMOST fun.....maybe not.....but it was NOT bad.

The girls kept saying "look we are in New York, look there is Paris!"
They were so excited.
We watched the sun set over the mountains as we drove to our new home.
It was breathtakingly georgous!

The girls were DYING to do to the M&M store

 Press on Hello Kitty nails are always fun too!

 Kate was so silly with them---they acted like the paint was wet and couldn't do ANYTHING with those nails on....they took them off about an hour later.

We took the girls to see the flowers at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino.

Then had lunch at Serendipity

We are slowly getting settled. Eric has started his new job. We have joined the YMCA to begin training for the 1/2 marathon in December. Madison went to her first Girl Scout meeting last night and is registered for 1st grade at her new school (OH MY). We are meeting our neighbors....they all have kids that play in the streets at night (don't worry---we live on a cul-de-sac)...and one is an Aggie family from Beaumont, Texas! What are the odds????

Hello Vegas----we are home!

the long drive....

This was my view for 21 hours....the back of the boat!

There were mountains and dust storms all around us.

If you are ever in Deming, NM, go to the Brewery. It is a little place downtown that brews its own beer and serves the best turkey burgers and sweet potato fries.

The travelers-Deming, NM

It all started...

our move began when the girls went to Texas with Nana and Pops

We celebrated the 4th with just Chloe....she had fun!

Then the packers arrived---they packed for two entire days---we were up to our eyeballs in boxes

Then the truck arrived! And then our stuff was gone----heading to Vegas!
Next for us was Katelyn's birthday parties
A Luau!

Our family and friends were there-to sing Happy Birthday and see us off to Vegas!

Then we drove to San Antonio for a party there too
Chuck E. Cheese

 Chloe met Chuck

 Uncle Jared and Aunt Cici with Katelyn

Strawberry Shortcake was requested....and Mimi delivered! An Ice Cream Cake! YUM-O

 Cousin Sabrina with Coco and Kate

 Aunt Cici danced on stage!

The girls had a great time seeing our San Antonio family before we left Texas.
