Skype and September Birthdays!

We would talk to Keleigh on the phone, well I would start but she would always ask for "PaPaw" within a few seconds so we would talk to her but it was hard for her because she couldn't see us! Skype is a great thing, we had not used it before last night but Sarah loaded it on her computer and we on ours so we could chat with Keleigh and she could see us talking to her, it was so funny! She was in shock when Sarah answered and we popped up on her computer! It was fun talking to her and being able to see her little face getting tickled! She kept wanting to see Bella even though when she was here to visit she didn't care much at all for Bella! Anyway Skype is free and wonderful to use when you are long distance from babies you can't visit often! Soon as Jennifer gets a camera we will use it to see the kiddos there too!

We have a few birthdays in September we have to send a shout out to these special people in our lives! Jake will have his birthday on the 7th, and grandson Lukas will have his on the 27th! Happy Birthday guys!

July and August

July was spent packing up our stuff, giving away our stuff and hauling some stuff to the dump! It was busy busy, and took a lot of energy! We made 4 trips to Bend with our stuff. But we finally got here on July 23. We have a new blog now and I'm making a scrapbook of this one and will not be posting on it anymore. Things change, and circumstances are different so we have started a new blog to document our time in Oregon! This blog has been for our time in Utah.

We have a few July birthday's to mention and shout out Happy Birthday to...Colton celebrates his birthday on the 27th. Our sis Pat celebrates her birth on the 8th, and one of our nephews, Peter celebrates his birth on the 28th!

We also have some August birthdays to celebrate! Jessica will celebrate her birth on the 4th, and a niece Stephani will celebrate her birthday on the 9th.

Post Script: We may have forgotten some, we are still working on getting everyone's birthdays on our list :) Please forgive us if we slighted you!

LIFE IS A JOURNEY NOT A DESTINATION: Sometimes our journey is like a rollercoaster! Sometimes it seems it's all uphill. But a lot of the time we get to just enjoy the beach!
We're going to live by this and believe it! We are going to enjoy this part of our journey and look forward to the new things we'll get to experience on this part of our journey. Life is an adventure, enjoy!!

June stuff

I miss my home, but I'm doing ok here in Bend :) Chad is doing better than ok, he loves loves loves it here!

Just a little catching up. We got our house ready for listing and then found a realtor thanks to Joe & Stacy. She showed up at our door and we realized we had met her previously when Chad played the Outlaw a lot with Joe. She was previously married to a concrete contractor that Chad worked with a lot in the past. Nickie was a good realtor, and got our listings out and we had a buyer within just a couple weeks! He wanted to close right away but we held our ground and closed July 22, because there was no way we could get all our stuff out before this date! We miss our house! But Chad said yesterday he didn't miss Utah, I was shocked because he has lived there his whole life, but he said he just needed to be away from there now, oh well I guess he has his reasons! We talk to Sarah & Keleigh every other day and that's fun. Jennifer calls and Jordan talks to us, it will be more fun when we can understand both Keleigh and Jordan because they seem to want to tell us stories! Keleigh will talk to me for only a minute or two then she says to me, "papaw need papaw" ugh she likes him better than me! Griffin, Jada and Madi never have much to say but they will get online and tell us hello :)

We have a couple birthdays in June...Mine on the 26th and Gary P's on the 22nd...we cannot elaborate on what year we are celebrating we are so old we either stopped counting or forgot! :)

May Birthdays!

We have a couple of May birthdays we need to mention and celebrate! Sarah is 28 this year and Scott is 39! (wow Scott you're getting as old as me!)
We celebrated Sarah's birthday by going out for manicures and pedicures, it was a great afternoon! Me, Jennifer and Sarah plus we had lunch at Red Robin. Later the whole family had an ice cream cake and boy was it yummy!

Mexico again!

We went to the Riviera Maya in Mexico May 3-12th and it was wonderful! I don't have pics yet because we broke my laptop in route there! So I'm waiting on Chad to upload them to his computer. He went scuba diving and so we have some we have to also get developed I can't wait to see those, because he did cave diving and said it was great! We went snorkeling and had a wonderful time too! We did a cove where we saw turtles, then a lagoon where we saw a ton of beautiful fish, I love the tiger fish and those great big purple ones! Then we went to a Senota and that was beautiful! Didn't see a lot of fish there but still it was beautiful to snorkel in and the water was COLD! We did some sunburning, now we are doing the peeling! :) We ate some great Mexican food, and collected a few souvenirs but mostly we did a lot of relaxing! I read two fun books, not school books, although I should have read school books, but I couldn't get on the computer to do my classwork so I just didn't bother with it. So I'm almost all caught up now! We met some really cool people from Texas, and they live at the Trophy Club and that's just a few miles from where I raised my kids! They ride Harleys and so we may visit them and go for a ride!
