Pictures

Here are some pictures from our trip.

When you have been driving for a long time you get really bored

Ethan played pinball on our laptop to pass time going to AZ.

On Christmas Eve we opened gift at Memaw and Pepaw's house with cousin Gavin and baby Jasmine. The pile of gifts for the four kids was gigantic! Jasmine watched on as the boys tore into there piles.

We spent Christmas Day at Great Grandma's house with the big family.
It was chaos with 5 great grand-boys running around screaming and wrestling!
We did manage to get them to set down for a small break.
Gavin(3), Tony(3), Chavez(6), Mac(4) and Ethan(4)

Then we tried getting all 6 of the boys to sit for a picture.

Then finally, we got all 7 of the great grand children to sit together. This time we got some major resistance. Little Jasmine thought the whole thing a little amusing.

We made it!!

After two days, 16 hours of driving, 2 movies, several video games and one night in a crappy hotel we are finally home. I have to say that the boys did very well considering that they were strapped down in there car seats for very long periods of time. E of course did very well. He had loads of toys, games and movies to keep him occupied (Thanks to Aunt Josette & Uncle Bear). We are mostly surprised at how well Isaak did. I sat in back with both the boys which helped, but he didn't really cry until the very end of day one and the end of day two. Who can blame him.

Boy were we relieved to pull into our drive way. We may not like Dallas, but it sure felt good to know we wouldn't have to pack and unpack the sub-hog for a long time. Now that we are home, we can focus on getting the house ready to sell and start liquidating. I am very excited.

Thank you very much to all our friends and family who welcomed us into their cozy homes during our trip. We had a wonderful time. E truly did not want to leave.

We're on our way.

We are getting ready for our big trip to AZ. We are super excited to see all of our family and friends. Our first stop will be Tubac, then Tucson, then Casa Grande, then Spring Valley and finally Prescott and Prescott Valley. We only have 8 days to go everywhere and see everyone so we should be quite busy. We have our timeline all planned out.

Most of all, we are dreading the 15-16 hour drive to AZ then back. It will be our first time driving that long with Isaak. I'll be sitting in the back seat with the boys most of the time and I have an arsenal of toys, games and books that E has never seen to keep him busy and happy. So, think of as as we embark on our long journey.

We can't wait to see everyone!!
