Brrrr....take me to the tropics!

I would rather be somewhere warm right now! It is so cold and it just got me thinking about all the really beautiful places we have gotten to travel to and wishing we were somewhere warm right now. We love tropical places and have visited many islands and someday we are going to retire on one of those islands! Hawaii, Mexico, Aruba, St. Martins...we love them all! Here are a few photos from our many wonderful vacations to warm islands! We have seen these places and they are all so warm and sunny...and simple! I love simple...

Just a really cool picture I took at Xcaret, Mexico (Riviera Maya)
Chad in Mexico!
We were just having a good time at dinner (mexico again) those are not our legs by the way! We were shocked when these guys came dragging these to our table!
One more that night!












Volcano on the Big Island or at least the steam coming off it very early in the morning!










Me in a lava tube on the Big Island, Hawaii!

We aren't finished at 15 either!

We actually are expecting grandchild number 16 to arrive in April 2009. We don't know whether we are getting a girl or boy but we are supposed to find out on Friday if the baby cooperates!! We love grandbabies! We will post pictures of the lucky mommy as soon as we have some!

Number 15!

We are about to be grandparents for the 15th time...and I'm sure it isn't our last! Sarah's due date is the 30th of December however she (Keleigh) is measuring a week or so older than her due date and so we are expecting to have her in person at our Christmas holiday! Here are a few pics of all the things we have collected and assembled for her arrival.

Chuck E. Cheese Birthday Celebration!

Jennifer's three older children have birthdays all very close to each other and they are in to parties with their friends so I don't usually see them on their birthdays so we had a combined birthday celebration yesterday for them at Chuck E. Cheese! We had a great time playing games, the kids really had a blast! Even Jordan did really well! Here are a few pics of our adventure with the Chuck man!

Cute Fall Photos :)

I just wanted to post a few of the fall pictures of Jennifers cute little kiddos!
