Next week

We have a few days to get ready for another mad dash out of state. This time Stew is heading up to Salt Lake for a week with Kory for a new set of prosthetic legs, now that he is healed from his surgery. And I am headed to Denver with Mattea for her tonsil and adenoid surgery. Onny and Marisol are going with Dad, and Bubs is going with me. Another fun week off from work.

Lots of pics!







More pool pics!



Onny is starting to like the water!

Pool Pics

Okay, here's a new pic of our little princess in some new school clothes.Not sure if you can see or not, but she is newly missing her top front tooth, too! She is now a veteran walker, and no longer scooting around on her bottom.
Here's Mattea in the pool. Daddy didn't get outside in time for all of her antics. I just got a new camera though, and she also just got a new swim suit, so better pics soon. She totally LOVES the pool!

Here's Kory the Goof! He's enjoying the water after being off his feet from surgery 2 weeks ago.
Bubs is always the first one in and usually the last one out. He insists on having his latest group of action figures along with him for the swim. Last week it was Spiderman, this week it's Wolverine and Iron Man.

Back from another trip!

We just got in from a week in Salt Lake City for Kory's leg surgery. Kory is doing great, the surgery went fine. He will be on one leg and an adapted walker for a few weeks and hopefully a break from his chores.
I finally got to meet Alexander, my 3-week-old grandson and he is just adorable! He has a gentle, laid-back spirit and he is very handsome! It is going to be fun watching to see if he will be a blue-eyed blondie like his brother and sisters, or if he will have brown eyes or hair. Neither is apparent yet.
It was nice to visit and shop with my daughter Serena, and spend some time with my Mom. I wish we lived closer and could get together more often.
The little ones, Estuardo and Onnolee, and the grandchildren all had a large time with many fun events for the holiday weekend. Estuardo has fallen in love with waterslides and trampolines, and Onny is starting to break out of her shell and interact with the other kids. We went to a cook-out at the in-laws for 4th of July and had a great time except son-in-law Enoch had a mishap with a kitchen knife and ended up with some stitches in his hand.
Kory's got to go back up to Salt Lake the first week in August to have a new pair of legs built and we are trying to reschedule Mattea's tonsillectomy in Denver for that same week, so we can split the kids up and get it all done at the same time. This has been one busy summer!
I am managing to keep up with my school, but I am not sure how. It's been tricky! I am maintaining my weight loss too.
My digital camera is broken, so I had to take pics on a disposable. As soon as I get them developed I will post all the fun pics from the trip!
