We had a really fun time even though the weather didn't cooperate with the kids visit. Kyle turned 25 so we had a celebration with Granny, PaPa, and Bobbie down.
Lauren thought Kyle's girlfriend Carma was the greatest and I was definitely jealous. I can't complain as it's a treat just to have my family together.
Lauren had fun at Uncle Kyle's birthday celebration.
Aunt Bobbie, my sister is a big part of my boys life and we can always count on her to visit.
We travelled to Mesa, AZ in our Jimmy John's VW Bug to pick up our new winter home as that was the only vehicle we could tow back. I have to say it was alot more comfortable travelling home in the RV with room to move. We had a great side trip to Sedona, and what a beautiful place! 
We took off down a road to see Montezuma Hillside dwellings and Terry was pretty proud of making this corner with 60' of rig. We learned that you need to know what you're getting yourself into as you can't turn around just anywhere.
My blogging is going to have to improve with Terry's new toy as we'll be travelling and have lots to report. We are getting back into RVing now that we have more time to travel. We're off to Mesa, AZ to pick up our new home next week and we'll hopefully come across an oil well along the way with all of our gas guzzlers that we own. No more cold winters!!
We returned from the Florida Keys to snow and decided to head back to warmer weather and visit my parents in Harlingen, Texas. We went to our first jam and it was actually alot of fun. I secretly told them it was my Dad's 79th birthday and they surprised him with singing "happy birthday". 
The musicians at the jam were really good and anyone could get up to sing and participate. I would have joined in but they didn't know Mony, Mony. We also went into to Mexico where Terry got a pedicure and a $4.00 haircut. I'm glad we took this time with my parents as life's too short but they are more active than we are!
Mom & Dad called and wanted us to come visit them in Texas for a couple of weeks, so here we come. It doesn't take much to convince us to get out of this cold weather.
Where O where is RK & DK?? They never made it to The Keys to see us as they decided to stop in Mississippi and stay in a "DRY COUNTY". We sure missed you!!
I have to say that driving didn't seem as bad after their adventure.
We spent a few days down in Key West and the sunsets were beautiful. The sights were fun to see but we decided that we liked the quiet life in the Middle Keys better.
My brother, Mike and his girlfriend Pam came down for a few days to liven things up.
Debbie came down to make sure I was living a healthy lifestyle but she ended up being a bad influence. We had so much fun running, riding bikes, and of course happy hours.
In our backyard where we spent many happy hours by the pool. Terry told me we weren't on vacation but this is our new lifestyle & I sure fit into it well!
Terry decided he wasn't going to suffer through all of "Old Man Winter" so we went to the Keys for a month and had a great time. We rented a house in Marathon and our neighbors, Bill & Jan took us out fishing but the pelican was the only one that caught a fish.
I loved going to the fish market everyday for their fresh catch. Yellow tailed snapper was my favorite and yummilicious!
Evan's growing up so fast! He rolled over for the first time at Grandma & Papa T's. 
We had so much fun with Lauren this Christmas! One of her favorite gifts is the little travel bag that has a blowdryer and etc... in it and she loved using Kyle as her model.
I had the best birthday week ending with my new Infiniti that Terry bought me. Actually I made the deal myself in St. Louis while I was spending a fun Girlfriend week in St. Louis and Terry was nice enough to drive my BMW Z4 over to make the trade on Friday. What a guy!!
In Shanghai at the Pearl Market and it was fun!! They actually make the jewelry for you after you pick out the quality of pearls you want. 
Kat, my translator and I spent the day exploring and this is at the expo which is the view out of Terry's office window. The flowers were gorgeous in Nanning but since everything is concrete so they are in pots.
Kat, my translator and I went to the market and she was helping me buy a jade bracelet.
We took in the fresh market and this was the better part of it as there was everything, and I mean everything there.
This is the view out of Terry's office on the 24th floor.
We had dinner out at a place that you cook your meat and vegetables in a hotpot that is in the middle of the table. We had beef, goat, and lamb plus a lot of good wine.
We had such a great time in Chicago to watch Kyle run his first marathon. We were able to see him in four different spots and at the finish. Terry, myself, his friend Karma, and my sister Robin were there to cheer him on.
Terry had this crazy idea, let's go to the west coast on a harley. Well, shortly after that George & Bernie had an unfortunate accident so he decided we'd do the next best thing, let's take the Z4. By the way the BMW is for sale!!
I used RK's favorite word on this leg of the trip, how f____g long is this road? Utah and Neveda went on & on!!
We had to stop and have lunch at RK's favorite place, Giovannis!
This stop was by far my most favorite!! Terry let me stay two nights so I took advantage of spa treatments, good food and wine.
Rubicon Winery was one of my favorites.
Terry had to go back to Silver Oaks as the last time we were there they were rebuilding from a fire so we wanted to see their new winery and it was worth the stop.
