Blogger is Messing With My Head

This post is basicly a test to see if bloger will take more pictures. I was trying to change the current header picture and blogger keeps telling me, I have exceeded my photo storage limit......... However, it looks as if I can still post photos in the main body. I guess we'll see how long this holds out. If not, we'll have to begin anew. After 6 years of posting, I'm not surprised..........so we'll keep going here, until the bitter end.......See ya soon.

Pace Arrow Vision

We'll now that baby fever has settled down, I can show you our new to us motorhome. She's a 2000 Pace Arrow Vision, low miles and so far all is well with her. Compared to the Dodge this is a pleasure to drive and Sheryl's back is so much more comfortable in these Captain's Chairs. The added plus is driving around town in the little Chevy, much, much better gas mileage, and again so much more comfortable. The two large slides give us alot of room inside and we don't even miss the triple slide of the 5th wheel. Motorhomes do feel a bit smaller inside, but I believe alot of it is due to the lower ceiling height. Being a 2000 model, there are a couple issues, but that's to be expected and we planned for these unexpected issues by getting a extended maintenance warranty and roadside assistance. Next step will be getting the car set up to tow.

 We are looking forward to getting out and stretching her legs abit more on the road, but until then, we are parked at the Texan RV Ranch, here in Mansfield, TX, just a few miles from Chris and Kayla's (and now Easton's) place. We'll be here till the end of the month, then back up to OKC and parts unknown after that. So, until next time......................

Sheryl's Handy Work

Yesterday we got out and about alittle. First on the agenda was to visit Chris and Kayla to get our baby fix for the day (I'll spare you more baby pics for now...lol). Sheryl also wanted to deliver her special handmade baby quilt that she had been Cross Stitching on for several months now. I don't know where she finds the patients to do projects like that, but they sure are beautiful when there finished. Of course Chris and Kayla loved it and it will be a cherished memory for years to come.

After visiting for a while it was time to head home, on the way, Sheryl mentioned she wanted pizza for dinner. Well we just happen to know about a great little pizza place just down the street (more or less) in the town of Cedar Hill, TX. We turned the car around and headed that way. Pizza is always good, but after checking out the menu, Sheryl settled on a Calzone and it was a Sausage Parmesan Sub for me. The Internet here at the park is being alittle stubborn with loading of pics, so no shots of the inside or the great food. However if you ever find your self in the southern Dallas/Ft Worth area be sure to check out Sam's in Cedar Hill, you won't be disappointed.

So until next time, keep Lovin Your Life as we do ours and we'll see you back here soon!

Grandpa Time!!!

 Granpa got in a little Grandpa time with Easton yesterday. What a happy little baby he is, not a cryer or whiner, of course he's got good genes from both sides of the family. We stopped by for a bit and visited the kids and the rest of the family for abit before heading home. That's the nice part about being here with the RV, we don't have to spend every waking hour at their house or in some hotel room. We can come and go as we want to, sleep in our own bed and be in our own home when not visiting.

It just so happened when it was my turn to spend alittle time with him, he woke up and was a pretty bright eyed little boy for only being a few days old now. He is just one cute kid (gets that from me you know.....lol). The other thing he gets from our side of the family, and one day he'll either thank me or curse me, is large hands and feet. Monkey Toes as Sheryl likes to tell me, well they are good for picking things up off the floor with out bending over.....lol.

Ok, just a quick daily dose of Baby Easton. Take care and see you back here soon, maybe even with a different subject....lol.

Little Easton Comes Home

Kayla and Baby Easton were finally released from the hospital and headed home. Mom, Dad and Easton were greeted with a fully decorated home, lunch and a great dinner prepared by one of Kayla's friends.

A welcome home gathering was in order, besides all the family, several of Chris and Kayla's friends stopped by through out the day.

Kayla and Easton are doing fine and are looking forward to all the little bundle of joy will bring.

Just a quick update to say Mommy, Daddy and Baby are doing fine and home from the hospital. We have been enjoying our time with them and mainly just hanging out. So until next time...................

Presenting Baby Easton, Our Grandson.

There are few very special moments in life and the birth of your first grandson is one of them. How lucky we were to be here with Kayla and Chris to share their (and our) special moment. It seems like just yesterday when I was holding my son and little girl just as I was holding little Easton today. The little guy weighed in at 7lbs, 3ozs and 20 1/4" long.

Mommy and baby are doing just fine.

Sheryl was getting her turn in enjoying the little guy. Her nursing background took over and she was making sure the attending nurses were doing everything just so, it was great to see.

The other grand parents all flew in from FL for the big event, but it sure was nice just to have drove our home here and be able to stay as long as we want. Fulltiming is great!!!

That's it for now, we'll post up some more picks of little Easton and the proud parents later. Until then, take care and keep Lovin Your Life as we do ours!!!

Preparing for a New Style of Travel

Yup, were still alive, even though it's been a couple of weeks since hearing from us. Just living day to day life and preparing for a big move. Big Move you say?? I'll explain. With Sheryl's back issues, we've decided to give up the truck and 5th wheel and move to a Motorhome. The 3/4 ton truck has just been beating poor Sheryl (and me) to death, especially when just running around town.

Of course the first step was to find a Motorhome we liked at a price with in our budget, this meant an older one, but of course in good shape. After weeks of scouring the Internet and visiting dealers, we settled on one we found in TX. After working with the dealer by phone, a deal was struck and financing approved. Now we just have to take a trip down to look it over and if all is good, make the purchase. I'll save the type and pictures for after we pick it up.

Next on the agenda was a tow vehicle. Sheryl contacted her brother in KS, as he had acquired their mom's car after her death a few years back. He was not really using it, so they struck a deal and we made a mad dash to pick it up this week. Overall the car is in good shape and just needs alittle TLC. It's a 2002 Chevy Cavalier and the good thing is, it can be towed 4 down.

So we are on our way to a new to us rig and way of travel. The motorhome and car should make traveling and exploring the country much more comfortable.

We'll be heading out on Wed to look at and hopefully buy our new home, if so, we'll be coming back here to OKC for a week then back down to Dallas for the birth of our new grandson, fixing to be a busy few weeks, and much more to write about.

Ok, that's it for this episode, we'll see you next time right back here.
