We decided it was time to head south...We were able to enjoy 3 weeks in Arkansas, us girls anyway, Michael had a conference in Omaha, NE the second week.
The journey began on Wednesday May 12th we left Utah at 2p.m. and arrived in Cheyenne, WY around 10p.m. amid snow and slick conditions between Laramie and Cheyenne (interesting to experience in May) Thursday morning after breakfast at McDonalds we got on the road at 8am and believe it or not made it all the way to Fayetteville by 11pm. 15 hours on the road with two little ones was...exhausting, to say the least. We took turns riding in the back between them keeping them entertained..singing songs, coloring, peek-a-boo, etc. Madilynn did well with her movies for the most part.
Friday May 14th was Mama's birthday so we wanted to surprise her when we showed up and we did! Especially since we arrived at the party an hour late cause we had to take Elizabeth to the walk-in-clinic.
Mama & Elizabeth
It was so great to see everyone since we hadn't seen them since before Christmas!As if we hadn't done enough traveling already, we decided to head down to south Arkansas to visit more family! Saturday evening we made it to Daddy Gene & Ladonna's house.
Sunday after church we played outside awhile...we were quickly reminded of the heat & humidity (as was my hair)!
A colt arrived just 2 weeks before we got there and Madilynn couldn't wait to see the "baby horse" and she was even able to pet it!
Monday morning we went down to visit Michael's grandparents and had lunch with them.Granddad & Elizabeth

After lunch we headed over to see my Dad & Pam (aka Grandpa & Grandma). They hadn't seen Elizabeth yet! Just after we got there
They invited everyone over, so we got to visit with aunts, uncles, and cousins I haven't seen in years. They were meeting Madilynn & Elizabeth for the first time in person. We had a great time!
Daddy took a picture of all of us just before we left Elizabeth had already fallen asleep! Can't wait for Grandpa & Grandma to come visit us in Utah this fall!
Daddy Gene & Ladonna with the girls before we left out Tuesday morning headed back to Fayetteville...
We had a great visit with everyone and are so glad we were able to make it down...lots of memories and pictures!!
