"Walking in Memphis"

Capri on her first plane ride. We are getting ready for take off. 11pm!!!
Home of Elvis. We had to go and see "Graceland"
Alan and his grandfather "Earl". He is a very brillant man. We had a great time visiting with him.
This is Alan and his 3 uncles on his mom's side of the family. His mom had 12 brothers and sisters and this is the 3 siblings still alive.
Me hanging with the kids. Capri didn't want her picture taken.


So Capri went on her first plane ride to Memphis, Tennessee. We left on Thursday night and came back on Monday night. The flight out was not so bad until we got to Atlanta for our connecting flight to Memphis and we had a two hour lay over and then another two hour delay for mechanical error. That was fun with a two year old. We finally got to Memphis. We visited with lots of family. Had a few BBQ's....of course we are in the South!! Capri had a blast playing with all of the kids. We got to visit with Alan's grandfather it is amazing the stories he has to tell and all of the details he remembers. We stayed at a hotel not too far from the famous "Beale St". We were also in town for the "Elvis Week" it is fun to see how many travel to Memphis for this event. We saw the candlelight vigil they had on Saturday night for him at Graceland. The flight home was interesting. We hurried and did last minute visits and shopping before heading to the airport and when we got to the airport we find out that our flight had been canceled. Of course, first thought isn't that great. We already dropped the rental car off and checked out of the hotel. So we had to the counter to find out and we got "LUCKY". We got moved to a direct flight from Memphis to Phoenix with no lay over in Atlanta and we got to sit in "FIRST CLASS"! I bet the others in first class were happy to know that there would be a 2 year old in first class. She actually slept the entire way home. We got home almost 3 hours early because of the cancelation!!! YEAH!! We had a great time. Alan was so happy to see his family. I am spoiled and sometimes take it for granted that my family is all so close. It has been over 2 years since he has seen his family. Thank you to Teresa and Zach for taking care of the dog and cleaning for me.

Saturday we spent the day at Grandma's. Roxxi is in Omaha getting her stuff to move back to AZ and we went to help watch Eternity and Reign and Britni had a church function so we had Maizi and Soakai too. We had a house full. The kids had fun playing together.

Happy Birthday!!!!

We went to Dave and Busters to celebrate Alan's(8/5)closer to 40, Cody's(8/5) turned the big 16 and Cameron's(8/2) turned 14 birthdays. The boys came out winning almost 4000 tickets (holy moly).We got a ton of stuff at the prize store. Capri got a big Elmo stuffed doll. We played family trivia, basketball and tons of other games. We were there for almost 4 hours. The boys had the best time. We were all worn out by the end of the day. Capri loves her brothers. She wants to do everything with them as you can see by her playing the game with Cole. They love taking care of her. One more birthday celebration down.

Camping Trip

I decided to join everyone with the blogging. Don't expect too much. I am not very creative. So here it goes. This is from about 2 weeks ago. July 17-19th. We took the family camping with some friends of ours to Woods Canyon Lake. I think that Capri had the most fun out of all of us including the boys. She wanted to play in the rain and hail on Saturday. The boys went fishing and Capri and I stayed at the camp site. It was very relaxing and fun.
