New Mexico

Hi everyone,

We are in New Mexico. We spent Monday night we Red's Grandma in Hemet. Had a great time just letting the kids run around. Justin got sick with some thing were visiting her. Sore thoart and fever. He was feeling better on Tuesday so we drove on. What a long day that was. We finally made it into Flagstaff at about 6pm. A quick dinner then bed for us. The boys are getting tired of being in the car. Justin is always asking when we are getting to the hotel. Today we only made it to Albuquerque. Even I am getting tired of being in the car. We have driven though some beautiful county and some not so beautiful. Looking forward to getting some where were we can stop for more then the night.

Were are we??

We made it to Bakersfield. The boys did good on the drive down. Justin is asking the the worst question ever "When are we going to get there". The cat settled right down. Molly did great too. The hotel I picked is dump. Looked good online. Oh well, we just need a place to sleep.

North Carolina

We leave today at noon. Are we ready we think that we are. I am not really sure that leaving is going to hit me until some where outside of Califorina. I will miss you all. Watch as we blog our way across america. Love and hugs to you all.

Giddy up let's ride

I bought Jacob a stick horse to go with Justin's stick horse. So last night we had stick horse races though out the house. What a great way to spend some family time together. Both Red and I chased the boys and played horse too. The boys love to get on the horse's and go. Giddy up let's ride.

Jacob's Cake

I had a weak moment and bought Jacob a cake at Sam's Club. Not like we need any more cake. So it had to sit in the fridge waiting for his birthday. Every day he would open the fridge and look at the cake and say "me me me". Then after some talking to he would close the fridge. The cake was yummy!! He loved eating it.

Jacobs Party 2

The dino cake. Every peice was eaten. Yummy
We had another party for Jacob this last weekend. What a lucky kid to get two party's. Somebody sure loves him. We had a great time with everyone. Thanks for coming and sharing Jacob's birthday with us.

Some great eats and fun seats at the Rain Forest Cafe


Riding the carousal with Daddy
Stinky sea lions

Last Friday we took Red's mom and grandmother to the Jelly Belly factory and then off to San Francisco for the afternoon. San Francisco was the coldest I think that it could have ever been. The wind was blowing, it was really miserable. We made the best of it. We rode the ferry from Oakland, saw the sea lions, the boys rode the carousal, we browsed the shops and ate dinner at the Rain Forest Cafe. Over a cold day but really fun.
