Today is the Day

of the much dreaded drive from Silverdale, WA to Centennial, CO. Mapquest says 20 hours 49 minutes, we will see what it is with four kiddos! I have much to blog about when we get settled until then we will miss everyone we have grown to love so much here in Washington, and we are excited to see people we haven't seen in forever in Colorado! 

Wish us luck on the drive!!!

Olivia's 5th Birthday Party

Olivia will turn 5 in August and has never had a birthday party with friends. We have always been on vacation in CO on her birthday and this year we will have moved by her birthday. So this year we decided to have a party a few months early so she could do what she wanted with all her little friends. She picked a gymnastics party!

Here she is in the car on the way to the party.

You have to go down the slide to get on the gym floor.

Everyone receiving instructions

Then let the fun begin!

Olivia in the foam pit! I love this girls laugh!

Then my camera ran out of batteries! LAME! She had a great birthday party and loved every minute!

Happy ALMOST Birthday Ollie!

Preschool Graduation

So this is really about before and after the graduation since I have no pictures of the actual graduation!

Here are the sweet babies before we left!

After the graduation we played games and ate treats to out hearts content. Well actually until it was time for Luke to eat! Kai and I played different games with the beach balls almost the whole time.

Olivia "went fishsing"

Ethan played the cake walk and was so happy when he won!

Here I am with Olivia's self portrait!

Kai at A LOT of cookies that he iced himself! YUM!

It was a great day! I cannot believe that Olivia will be in Kindergarten next year!

WE'RE MOVING!

After much prayer, many late night debates, and more pro/con lists then I wish to admit to, Brian and I have decided that will be moving our family at the end of June from the great state of Washington. 

We will go to Colorado and spend July there with a trip to Disney squeezed in there. While we are in Colorado we will be looking at houses there as well as in Dallas and Nashville. We are leaning a lot more toward Colorado but we are also trying to keep our options open. The kids are very excited to spend some time with family and play on the boat. 

We love Silverdale and it will not be easy to leave! Our 3 1/2 years here went by way too fast!

Since we can go really where ever we want since Brian is now out of the Navy, I would love to hear where you would live if you could go ANYWHERE! 

Once Upon A Time....

While I was playing out back on the water slide with Kai, he looked deep into my sunglasses. I just knew he was looking for my eyes so he could tell me how much he loved me and wanted to marry me. But then he said:

"I see the house and the big water slide in your glasses!"
