Hi Bloggin' friends and fam...I am just logging in to give you a preview of my last month on the road. I have been to Sierra Vista, Arizona (Fort Huachuca) just about 15 miles from the Mexican border....to visit Shon and Roxanne and family. I was joined after two weeks by Ray and Brett and Annie's family for the blessing of little Kali Anne Conover, Shon's little angel.

Life with Shon is always an adventure and he took us all to Parker Canyon Lake to enjoy the cool breeze, water and fun. The kids had so much fun with grandpa and Uncle Shon on the lake.This is our # 27 grandchild (the girls are ahead by one now but with the birth of Jared and Lindsay's little boy in Sept. it will be 'even- steven' again) Meet beautiful Kali Anne Conover. We all got together in Utah at John and Melanie's for a (Shon to Afgahnistan) sendoff a month or so ago and while the guys played the girls made Kali's blessing dress. Thanks all you wonderful daughters for helping us get this done. It was pure joy to be there when this one came to Earth. She is delicate and beautiful and so mellow and hugable.

Kali Anne in all her finery. She really is a darling. It was amazing how Cody (big Brother now) grew the day they brought Kali home from the hospital.

It was so fun to have grandpa come for the blessing day. Thanks Annie and Family for bringing him to Arizona. John and Melanie deserve a big Thank you for fitting me in to their vacation and getting me to Mesa too. Life is so precious and children and grandchildren grow up all too fast. I am so grateful to be able to be a part of the grandchildren's lives and special days. I am also thankful for wonderful children and son and daughter-in laws that make me feel welcome and loved while I am with them. Thank you all so very much. Dad and I appreciate and love you all so dearly.
