Off to Sanger, Texas!


Luke really gets into playing games, what a smile!



Chad found a friend in Charlie (what a cute boxer)



These two will make such a good mommy and daddy someday!



Jake really loves his Wii!



Lexi really loves babies!



Keleigh was exhausted and Jody was getting a kick out of watching her faces!



Nana and Grandpa Chad with the cutest bunch of grandkids! (Lexi, Jake, and Luke)


We headed to Sanger for a couple days to visit with our sons Jody and Jarrod and their families! We had a good time with the grandkids and boy have they grown a ton. We did lots of catching up and eating of some fine Mexican food, there is no place like Texas for the Mexican food appetite! It was great! Lexi got to show us one of her cheers and dances she is competing with, it is so great to see them so grown up and we played games on the Wii too with Jake and Luke, we had a wonderful time and didn't want to leave it is always so sad to have to leave and come so far back here to Utah and be away from them all! (I have to download more pics of the grandkids)
We also visited with a friend from our days in Texas. Alison was like a daughter to me, she was around all the time, she and Jennifer were friends for many years! It was good to see her while we were there and meet her husband,Don and her new little boy, Dalton. Alison and Sarah have decided that Dalton and Keleigh will date when they get older, it's gonna be one of those "arranged" marriages!



Me and Sarah with my boys Jarrod and Jody and Keleigh too!





Jody and Jarrod and Mom jumped into the photo oh and Keleigh too!

Amarillo by mornin...





Well we'll be in Oklahoma tomorrow! We arrived in Amarillo just a little while ago! We have had a quite nice drive, checking out the Monument Valley...I'll post a couple pics of that, it was really beautiful if you are amazed at rock formations and see the beauty in them, like we do! The baby has done very well for the most part. We have been taking a little time to get to Oklahoma just so we could see some sights and not keep her in a car seat for a long time. She is kinda having a tummy issue but hopefully it is going to remedy itself when we are settled for a few days. Sarah is doing well since her illness and feeling great!

Keleigh's first trip!

Keleigh is only 21 days old and she has already been to 4 of the 50 states! She will visit 6 states by the time we get back home! Quite a trip for a 21 day old...I hope this means she will be a seasoned traveler!

Keleigh resting after a long day!







Stretching out after being in her car seat for several hours!

Say a little prayer...


I don't know how many look at my blog but for those of you who do, please say a little prayer for Sarah. I had to take her to the emergency room this morning and we were there all day. Seems she has had a little complication from her surgery. Her lungs are not expanding like they should because she has been so guarded in her breathing. She was in a great deal of pain which has caused her back to spasm. So they gave her a breathing machine she has to use every hour and some pain meds IV and some to take while home. She is miserable right now so I am getting to take care of Keleigh, but she misses her mommy's care. So if you would say a prayer for her quick recovery!

Jake and Tinas family photo shoot 2009!

Our son Jake and Tina's little family had a photo shoot for 2009! They sent us a few of their photos and they are great! I just had to post this good looking family so I could show them off a little! You have to agree they are quite cute! Hoorah for 2009!
