GRANDMA & MASON HAVING A MOMENT

We left SLC on 10/17/08 for Gulfport to visit with JoJo and her family. Randy hadn't met Mason yet. We flew thru Denver and had a smooth flight. We landed in New Orleans and rented a van and drove the one hour or so to JoJo's. We had a beautiful time just visiting with the kids. We went fishing, bowling, out to dinner and played the Wii. Jo and I went shopping and out to lunch. We also went to the Fall Festival, where there was a downtown parade and instead of candy, they threw out Madi Gras beads (good thing for little kids to learn I think!) Anyway, they was fun just listening to the jazz band the walking around all the festival booths, etc. It was wondeful weather,.

Randy was pretty worried there would be an Amber Alert the day we left on two little boys, and I must admit it is pretty hard to leave them behind, but they are in good hands!

We have really been on the move lately. Randy's been over to Afton to help Tory and Joe put in their new kitchen, just beautiful hickory cupboards and red mahogany flooring. Then off to Pocatello to help Bran and Christie with their project of remodeling a trailer. It will be a nice home when it is finished.

We put our home up for sale the first part of Sept as Randy had a job offer to teach at Idaho State in Pocatello. Haven't had any bites yet, but that's okay as he had to turn the job down anyhow. But it would have been nice to be back closer to "home".
