Jace and Kim arrived

Jace and Kimmy arrived for their Arizona holiday on Sunday and although the weather was a bit nasty, it was WAY BETTER than what they came from.   Apparently the roads were quite nasty on their way down and they were both happy to finally get into the warmer weather.

Playing Bones

Sunday was spent quietly with the kids chilling in the mancave and just resting after their trip down.  Both the kids LOVED the apartment.   Kimmy said it was "happy" and she loved the colors.  They will be quite comfortable there until it is needed for our March rental.
On Monday, Jace and Kimmy headed into Sky Harbour Airport to pick Scott, Jill and Tessa up.  They too are here for a vacation so we are all hoping for better weather.  Before Jace and Kim left for the airport though we took the quads out for a short ride so that Jace could send pictures to Scott while he was sitting on the plane!!

Kay's sister Kim flew in for a visit this weekend and has plans on coming out here for a couple of days too so we will certainly be full as far as accomodations go!!

Jace and Kim brought the game of Bones with them and we had several heated games while they were here.   There was quite a rivalry between Jace and Kay and he even had the balls to challenge her in a game of Horseshoes......such a silly boy!!  Needless to say, Kay beat him rather badly!!  She is pretty deadly when it comes to horseshoes!!
We have had our trailer for sale for a while now and have got a few bites but nothing really serious.   I scooted into town once this week to show it and the kids scooted into town as well for some much needed supplies.....like beer!!
Lorne and Marilyn arrived back from their southern holiday all tanned and rested.  Jace and Kimmy moved to the upper apartment and loved the view from up there.  Although it is nowhere near finished, it still provides the best views of the surrounding desert AND it has a bed, so really.....what more does one need!!  LOL

Kay cooking Tacos

We had a huge "taco" night thanks to Kay.  She knows the kids think that Taco Bell is real tacos so she was on a mission to feed them "real" tacos and of course, they were a hit.   We all pigged out and each of us ate three tacos too many!!  Scotty loved the big grill Kay used for cooking on and decided that it would work great for the lake so bought it from Kay!!  Jace will be hauling it home along with my electric rototiller!!

The kids took several trips out into the desert on the quads this week with one being at midnight!! Actually John and Kay joined then and I stayed home with Scott and Tessa.  Apparently one can not leave the big lights on while having an adult beverage as it kills the battery so Scott's quad had to make an emergency run home for booster cables so that both quads could get back.  Well.....I wasn't with them so was unable to say that there were booster cables in Henrietta all the time so no need to sprint home to get some!!   Oh well...no harm done and everyone made it home safe and sound.

On Saturday the kids went to the rock climbing event in Bagdad called WE ROCK.  They were over there for most of the day and loved it.  They were all amazed at what these vehicles can climb and yes....amazed at the rollovers as well!!  Kimmy and Jill came home supporting some really nice sunburns.
So, another week has come and gone and we are all sniffling and coughing.  Kimmy brought down her cold and saw fit to share it with all of us.  I think Scott, Jill and Tessa are the only ones not affected.  Looks like we are going to be needed lots of tissues and decongestant for this up coming week.........Holy Buckets Kimmy!!      Life is Good.....even with tissue in your hand!!
