Where Has The Month of April Gone

Since Easter week end we have been busy doing spring clean up. Been working outside on the nice days which there has been a few really warm days. Barb got anxious to get a little garden planted so she got some plants and seeds and went to it.





Well look who is helping Barb plant the garden Ark and Saw wanted to get out in the sunshine too. Looks like they might we resting or goofing off.



Then decided to start spring cleaning on the inside. Did some rearranging of furniture and Jerry decided the small TV was to small so we shopped for a larger thin line one. Then Comcast had to come out and do the upgrade to digital this past week so we will be ready for the change which they had shut a lot of our channels off already.

On Sunday Kim and Noealani paid a visit and look at this Noealani is giving papa a love she is really growing. She will have a birthday in 4 weeks.

Spring Update

In Three days we will have been back in Wa two weeks. Don't seem like it has been that long but it has.

Barb fixed Easter dinner and Kim & Noelani and Teresa and Gabby joined us for dinner. The Easter bunny left some Easter baskets.

Gabby loves her key chain now that she has her drivers license and can drive.

Here is Mom and Baby getting ready to open their Easter baskets.

Here is Papa and Nana and baby Noelani showing off our Cubby caps. Jerry is happy he has another baseball team he can root for. It is between the Mariners and the Cubs he will be rooting for whoever is doing the best. Not Barb she will stick with the Mariners, Jerry is such a trader.

Papa and Nana worked at the spring training stadium in AZ for the Chicago Cubs so that is why we all have cubby caps.

Here is baby Noelani with her rabbit ears on not sure she likes them.

Here is Teresa and Barb getting ready to put together some dessert of strawberry short cake. Yum!

This is Barb's Easter gift Gabby giving her a neck massage. She gives good ones.

There was a real warm day this past week so Barb did a little yard work felt good to get out in the fresh air.

Jerry had doctor appointment on Thursday and a MRI the same day for his back. On Friday we drove to Chelan to get the boat out of storage.

Saturday afternoon Gabrelle had her piano recital she played very very well. She is amazing how much she has learned in the short time she has been taking lessons.

Watching the Mariners game to night and will call it a week.

The Journey Back to WA

We are headed back to WA and our neighbors are sad to see us go at least we got that impression. This is our next door neighbor from Portland OR great neighbors they say that about us also. Both of us have street rods and Jerry and Rich go to the Barrett Jackson show together in January. We really enjoy this couple we golf together and the guys talk cars and really enjoy each others company.

Rich and Nancy arrived back to AZ on April 1 and brought their daughter in law and grandson with them. Below you will see Rich and his grandson Brayln and Jerry and Ark and SAW. He loved the motor home he come inside and sat in the drivers seat wish I would have had a picture of that. Brayln will be 2 on April 17th.


Well we got on the road Saturday April 5 around 9:30 and headed north. We drove to Vegas area and stayed at a park near Sams town in the Hoover Dam area. Had some dinner and did a little gambling and Barb left Vegas with some of their money and Jerry broke even. On Sunday we got up had some breakfast at the casino and headed north to Jackpot NV close to the Idaho boarder. Long day and the state of Nevada is anything but beautiful. Apparently no industry so guess they have nothing going for them but the casino towns. We arrived Jackpot, NV at 5:30 pm so drove 7 1/2 hours. We had a dinner and then hit the slot machines for a couple hours and Barb walked out with some of their money played all night on their money and then even managed to take some with her. Jerry just held his own didn't leave much and didn't take any with him. Left Monday am and headed in to Idaho and then picked up I-84 which runs along the southern border of Idaho and the nothern border of OR. We had not been on this route but really enjoyed this route very pretty country and it also is the Lewis & Clark trail route. Drove to Pendleton OR and guess what found a Crazy Horse RV park which was a indian casino. YES! we have had our share of gambling but Jerry managed to take some of their money with him so all in all we done well. Barb only left 20.00 of her winnings from NV so that was good.

We arrived home Tuesday afternoon and we had sunny weather all the way it was a very good trip. Our Neighbors in Auburn was happy to see us come back. So guess we have friends & familly in both places that miss us when we are gone. That is a good thing.
