Best Friends in Kansas

Rylie and Marie - her best friend



















Ashlynn and Kelsey - her best friend













Brooke and Delaysia - her best friend













Here is a picture with the girls and their best friends that they met in Kansas! They will all be missed, but we are so glad we had the chance to meet them! They are all great girls, they brought the best out of our girls. Now we sing the song - Meet new friends, but keep the old, one is silver the others gold :)

Silver Dollar City

We had a great time in Branson!! Cade just hit the 36" mark so he was able to ride most of the rides. He had his eyes covered on the bigger rides, but was a trooper throughout our two day trip to Silver Dollar City. We also went to The Dixie Stampede one night for the dinner show. They picked Braum and me out of the crowd to do stick horse races, our team won of course :). We were so glad Gramere and Grandpa came out for our trip - it was great to see them and do something different. We are excited to see them and the rest of the Utah gang in only 10 more days. We say good-bye to Fort Leavenworth on the 13th of June - its been a fun 3 years!!

Silver Dollar City

Here is a little story about two adults walking into an
amusement park and magically turning 12. They had to ride every ride, the
one with 4 loops they went twice. Running from one ride to the next
and joyfully telling everyone how fun it is to go from 0 to 60 in 2.4 seconds on
the powder keg ride, or riding in this swing you see here with a speed of 45 mph and hanging upside
down, or spinning as fast as you can as you feel like you are getting
thrown out to outer
space - the list goes on! The Disney Land commercials must be
true in Silver Dollar City as well; we all passed by a mirror and the reflection showed
Vic and me with 6 kids.

Rylie's Last Day of School

This is Mrs. Jorgensen, Rylie's 4th grade teacher. She is a very nice young teacher - that kept Rylie on her toes and loving school. We will miss her.

This is Mrs. Higginbotham - This was also Brooke's Kindergarten teacher. I just love her! The best Kindergarten Teacher ever, bar none!!!

With our Best Friends

Here we are in St. Louis, Missouri visiting our old best friends we met in Germany. We met in St. Louis for sad reasons, Michelle' s mom lost a year plus long battle to lung cancer. It was so nice to be able to be there and see them! It was too short of a trip. We just missed Liam, thier 4 year old who stayed home with Lance's mom. Hopefully we will see them again in June!
