Walker & Jackson's tub time.

Hi All, What a past few weeks it's been. Drove my Kenworth from Pennsylvania to Arizona, jumped in our dodge van and drove to Oregon with Kerry, then jumped into our Toyota and drove back to Arizona, where I then jumped back into my Kenworth and drove to Monett, Missouri, then drove to Dodge City, Kansas to get my trailer reefer fixed, then rolled South to Liberal, Kansas to pick up a hoof run (Meat Load) and now I'm on my way to Saint Michael, Minnesota to drop this load and then run to Melrose, Minnesota to pick up a load of Kraft Foods that goes to Joliet, Illinois. OK take a breath. Kerry and I had a great time on vacation. We got to see our two son's and our daughter that lives in Oregon and Katie was there already for the birth and I got to see Katie for a day when we got back to Arizona, plus our two Oregon grandsons, plus our newest and only granddaughter, plus my Dad, sister and brother and of course their spouses and kids as well. Spending that much time with Kerry and the family has made me real home sick. I'm ready to hang it up right now and go home. I miss talking to my wife without ever saying a word. (Kerry knows what that means and it's not what you think) I got to see Mike and Rebecca for a bit when I was in Phoenix and Walker and Jackson too. It was a great trip to see all 5 kids and all 5 grand kids. I'm looking for the pics that I took at mike's house. I will find them and post them tonight.
Enjoy the pics and hope all of you are well.

How times are changing. We gave Sammie & Austin our mini van, cause you know with one baby, you need all the room you can get. Heck when our kids were young we stuffed all 7 of us in a Bug. I thought I died and went to heaven when we got our Chevy Caprice.
Just some shots of our road trip to Oregon.

Oregon was just like I remembered it... Rain, rain and more rain.

Hey Wyatt, I'm Back. Dodge City, Kansas
Tornado Alley, Buckley, Kansas. Look at the poles leaning.

My new friend in Dodge City, Kansas.

A stray cat in the middle of nowhere. We BBQ'ed hot dogs together.

She loved her hot dog and her bowl of milk.

IT"S A GIRL!!! Enjoying a product of Cuba and Mexico and I had good company.

The best company I could have in the whole world.

Footnote: Kerry was not really smoking a cigar

Look at that mug. Looks just like Sammie did when she was born

Hi All, We made it to Oregon late Monday night. We set up base camp at my sisters house. Tonight (Thursday) is a big Family dinner at Sister Lori's house. Then Friday we will go to Portland to see Tim and our other Oregon Grand son Cassius. We will stay Friday night at Sammie & Austin's house and then hit the road back to Arizona Saturday morning. Today we will go to Sammie's and I will get some good pictures of our new little Maisie. I got lots of pictures of her sleeping, but none with her eyes open. I forgot just how small a 4 day old baby is, but I remembered all the right moves to hold her safely. I got a good picture of me hanging her over the balcony so her fans could get a look at her. (not really, I'm no Michael Jackson) I will be updating pictures as i get them.
Have a great day!
