THAT's NEW JERSEY????

We had a fabulous week in NJ. The weather was great...I wore my favorite jeans just about every day! It was raining the day before we left and 58 the morning we headed home to Mars...I mean Yuma. Summers in NJ are beautiful and we spent lots of time on big kid toys...boat, jet ski, wake board and inner tube, not to mention the beach and boardwalk. We spent most of our time with Niki's Mom and bro Ryan, but also visited with Aunt Renee, Uncle Bob and Aunt Beth, Brent & Jennifer (Nik's 1st cousins) and their daughter Riley, who was a joy! Scott and Nik visited Nik's Dad several times. Thank God the hip surgery was successful and he is up and around! We also got to catch up with Travis and A, Nik's high school friend and meet their daughter Abigail! All in all, it was a busy, but fun filled week. We were sad to leave everyone, but SO thankful for our visit!

Happy 4th of July!!!

We've had a fun 4th of July week!!! Aunt Ang met us in San Diego for a few days where we savored every moment of the FABULOUS weather! What a break from the 121 degrees we left in Yuma. While we were there we spent some good time with Uncle Jake, Aunt Shelly, Madison and Drew, including watching the fireworks on Coronado island. (If we could just figure out how to get a few million to buy a house there!) Niki had the JOY of visiting Justin in the NICU one afternoon with Shel. We're excited to report he's weighing in at 4 pounds, 8 ounces and was moved to the 'lesser' nicu...one step closer to home. PRAISE GOD! Eric returned back to deployment this morning, so your continued prayers for their family are welcomed! The kids had a FUN time with Ang and were sad to see her leave this morning...especially because she fed them ice cream for lunch! :)
