Dave, Vicki and Jud come to visit

As you might know David (Jen's brother) and Vicki were wed last year while visiting us here in South Texas. Jud and Jenny stood up for them and it was a wonderful time as they are truly matched souls.







Well they came back a few weeks ago and what a fun time we had. We jumped on the bikes for a trip to South Padre Island. Jud enjoyed Jen's scooter and David trailered the pumpkin down. And of course what would a trip be without a scooter break down? You guessed it, Dave broke a drive belt. The good news was it was under warranty and the local dealer got the job done the same day, saving the trip.








Next it was off to Mexico for a shopping trip to Progresso. The truck looked like Sanford & Son as they headed back north.



Loli, Jen & I had a wonderful time!

The Kids in the Valley

Our family came down to visit a week ago and it was a great time. Andrew, Tyler, Tracy & TEYA were here for a week away from the cold cold north. When the kids left Chicago it was -13*.

Uncle Andy enjoyed his time in the warm weather with Teya. We were also greeted with the good news that Andy has gotten a full time job with benefits. No doubt a blessing from God in this economy.

While here in the Rio Grand Valley we attended a Killer Bees Hockey Game, got international with a trip to Mexico, Off to the beach at South Padre Island, Fishing & Boat ride on the Rio Grande, Santa Ana Wildlife area & too much more to list. The time flew by & we sure do miss them now.

Here is Papi with Teya at the top of the hawk tower. She is so funny. When the wind blows she sticks out her tongue like Mylo use to do.

Oh yea that is a Mexican fish!

Loli Pop enjoyed her baby sitting and just hanging out. She stayed in our loft and gave her RV to the kids.
