Road Trips, Graduations and Silly Times

The past two weeks of my life have been C-R-A-Z-Y.
Lots of family, two graduations and a new baby all rolled into a ball of fun.


It all started with my sister’s arrival.
Did I mention that she arrived on a plane
that landed at the Denver airport at 1:00 AM?
Yeah…that’s how we start this family party!


A couple days later my mother drove to my house.
We took a day to rest and hang out.
Oh, and of course we had to go out to dinner for some fine Mexican food.

Then we were off on a 13 hour road trip to Oklahoma.
I drove the whole trip. I know, who does that? 
I was pooped by the time we got to our hotel.
I think that was the best night of sleep I have had since 1982. ๐Ÿ™‚


Our reason for traveling to Oklahoma was because 
my nephew, Micheal graduated from high school. Woo hoo!

It’s rather easy to find the graduate in this picture, don’t ya think? ๐Ÿ˜‰


A nice added bonus on this trip 
was that my niece had also just had a baby girl, Ryah.
She is just 3 months old and loves to sleep in your arms.
Awwwwwwww.
Melt. Your. Heart.


It was a great opportunity to get a picture of four generations.



After a few days it was time to say our good-byes.
Back on the road we went.
And yes, I drove the whole time again.
(I think I got my fill of driving road trips for the year.)


The next day it was my son’s graduation from preschool.
All the little kids were so adorable. Although, I did favor one little boy. ๐Ÿ˜‰



I can’t believe my baby will be starting Kindergarten in the fall.
Talk about a transition. Not for him, but for me!


The following day my mother returned home and that left my sister
hangin’ with us for a couple more days.


We did a few of days of shopping,
taking full advantage of our time together by 
being silly and trying on
a few hats at Charming Charlies.



Can you believe the hats was my little man’s idea?
But I think he was right, yellow looks good on us!


My sister had to return home on Saturday. 
After I dropped her off at the airport,
I came home and watched the season final of Grey’s Anatomy.
I can’t believe they killed little Grey! What were they thinking?
(Sorry, just had to get that one of my chest.)
I enjoyed some more selfish T.V. time and then it was time to pack again.
Because…


The next morning we jumped into our car and headed
to Estes Park for some R&R at the cabin.



I actually think little man loves the mountains most of all…



We are now back home all tucked in our beds,
well except for me obviously. ๐Ÿ™‚
The bags are all unpacked.
The routines are starting once again.
Maybe life will start to be a little more normal again.


Naa…who wants normal?
