Our Family Is Growing!

Our Family Is Growing!

We just heard within the past 2 weeks that 2 new grandbabies are "in the oven"!!! The Hurds and the Pollards will add to their families in early April and early June respectively! We know that a few more of our married children are planning to add to their families in 2010 as well, so our family might be growing more than we presently know ! How exciting! There may even be couple of wedding in 2010 for all we know! (Update as of 10/21/09 The Pollard family is going through some medical problems and a miscarriage :-( We are sad and our thoughts and prayers and support are with them. They are doing fine and understand that this is nature's way of dealing with problems sometimes. They are happy to have their sweet Brynlyn and hope to add to their family at some time in the future.)
During Fall break last week, we worked really hard on our back yard. We got the windmill water pipes unplugged with the help of 4 huge rigs and lots of sophisticated equipment, Craig got the solar panel tower welded and put up, the kids pulled weeds till their hands bled, and Kelli sneezed from all the dust and weed stuff in the air till her eyes swelled almost shut!! No pictures of any of this yet, but are forthcoming (minus the swelled eyes!)
Happy Halloween Everyone!

Still Feels Like Summer!

We haven't taken any pictures since we've been home from our RV vacation, so I thought I'd share a few more of those! We should be adding to our picture library real soon as fall is my favorite time of year and fall pictures show all the pretty colors that Arizona offers.
This pic to the right shows Weston holding an indian ruin in his hand! Well, at least it looks that way from this side of the camera!

The picture below shows 4 tired,sweaty, smelly hikers who just got to the Mesa Verde ruins. They don't know just how hot, tired, sweaty and stinky they will be after they have climbed UP the mile high trail!

A cute family picture below taken at the Riordan Mansion in flagstaff. We are all smiling

except for Weston!
