Addendum to Yesterday's Post







I just wanted to finish reporting our vacation the last of February thru the first week in March. After visiting with Paul for 10 days (see previous post) we traveled another 12+ hours to Yuma, Arizona to visit with Patrick and Jenn - and celebrate his passing his PA test. It was so good to visit with them, and I just had so much fun, I neglected to take very many pictures - but Jenn had some on her blog of that visit. We enjoyed a picnic at the park, where the kids had a ball. Saige found her way to our bed every night and slept with us and said she was going to miss us when we left. Such love, we do miss. But looking forward to our next visit. On Saturday, Jenn and I went to a Stake Relief Society Celebration where they had a guest speaker from Salt Lake and the topic was something along the Joy of Womanhood - wonderful message and a great lunch. Sunday evening, we visited with some old friends from Yuma, Cheryl Fell and Angela Snyder - my sidekicks while living in Yuma. It was great. We ate Chili Pepper at least 3 times while there in 5 days. We left there on Monday, and drove to Mesa to spend the evening and night with Scott, Lori and boys. Before we all went out for Pizza, they told us of their new expectancy the last of September. That will make them 6 and us 17 (the same as my parents had). We are all excited, hoping for a girl - but another little boy would be just fine. Scott is very busy with his rotations, so we did not get to spend a long time with them, on this tripp. We left their home on Tuesday morning, after the boys left for school and went over to visit with Lorenza and Dale for a couple of days. They are sooo good at being there for our family all the time, and I just wanted to let them know how much we love them and appreciate their love for us. We had a great time with them. On Thursday, March 5th, we left early a.m. and drove another 12 hours home. It was a wonderful vacation, and we got home just in time for some snow - had not snowed while we were gone. Go figure. Here are a few pictures that I got at Patrick's. Little angels and a T-pee that Jennifer made for Garrett. Enjoy.

We loved our visit with you guys and can't wait to come stay at the end of April in CC (Cold Country). Thank you for traveling the 12 plus hours to spend time with us we enjoyed every minute of it.
