We are Home!

We made it back home safe and sound in just 14-hours. It was so sad to see that the further we drove away from Oregon the less and less green it got. As we drove into the valley though, it was home! I think we'll just consider both places as home.

Our first full day home we were able to finally meet our new grandbaby, Will. What a beautiful baby he is. I know we are prejudice being the grandparents and all, but he really is a beautiful baby. His hair is wild and awesome!! We had a pizza party at our home with the kids and Grandma Garrison Friday evening and we all passed him around. We also went to Carson's first scrimage football game before the party and watched as Carson led his team to a "win" with him making 5 of their 8 touchdowns.....way to go Carson!!!

We also got to see how much Diesel had grown....he's our grandpuppy. He is a great dane and is suppose to grow to weigh about 180 pounds. He's already huge! Kortney and Chase are so cute with him and they have already taught him how to shake, sit, lay down and rollover. Tank doesn't like him though. We think he feels replaced by Diesel, since Chase and Kortney use to dote on him so much. Gunner likes him though, but probably in a way that isn't so good to tell you about. (Gunner was never neutered :)

Today we are having lunch with Grammy and Papa who are here tending Isabella, Kris and Steve's little dog, who didn't get to go on vacation with them to a "no pets" cabin up in Yellowstone. We have Daxton with us who was happy that we are finally home. He slept over and is spending the day with us. It was so good to see him and little Jetters again. I was so happy to see that Jett didn't forget who we were. He sat with us at the football game and smiled and laughed the whole time. I just love those two boys!

We are happy to be home and get back to our normal lives. School starts Monday morning and I think we're ready. The kids are actually anxious to start. They really missed their friends and are more excited to see them than the homework I'm sure. Mark will be with us until tomorrow evening then he has to go back to Oregon without us. It will be hard adjusting back to being separated again. We loved being all together. I'm sure we'll handle it like we did all last year though, just fine. We will look forward to our weekends with him that is for sure!!
