Were getting closer...

Well for the past month or so Susan and I have been looking at, and trying to buy a house. We found a beautiful home and put in an offer; however; someone put in a higher offer and we didn't get it. So we started looking again. We found this house in the Queen Creek area. For those of you not familiar with Arizona, Queen Creek is located to the Southeast of Phoenix. The house has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and a pool in the backyard. So if you wanted to come visit we have room. We went into escrow on the house on Monday 6/23. Last Friday we had a home inspection done and the inspector said it was one of the cleanest bank owned properties he has seen. They are getting the appraisal done on Monday and we are expecting to close on Tuesday 7/15. I sure hope all goes according to plan.

Some nights are better then others

Well last night about 2:30am Sophia started running around the house barking. That part wasn't all that unusual, but she kept running around like something was wrong. Susan, being able to understand puppy language better then me realized something was wrong. She got up and looked outside. She saw a light flickering but didn't know what it was. She went and looked out a different window and sure enough someone had lit our trash can on fire. She went out in her bathrobe, grabbed the hose and became a fireman. As you can see the trash was a total loss.

What a trip....

Well we are finally back home in the land of the sun. Our flight comming home was delayed by 1 hour. We were supposed to get home Saturday at 10:20pm, but we acually arrived at 11:30pm. Even though it was that late Barry and Diana were kind enough to come and pick us up at the airport. We did have a good trip. Saturday we hung out in Salt Lake and visited with family and friends. It was fun to see everyone.

Were Here!!!!!!!!!

Well we came to Roosevelt to meet Baby Owen. Susan and Ann have been here for about a week and I just got here the other day. He is a really good baby and has been fun to get to know. Russ had to work so we couldn't spend as much time with him as we would have liked, but someone has to work. We stayed at Russ's parents house and it was nice to get to know them. Ann really likes the horses and other animals that Ray and Margaret have at their place. We will be leaving tomorrorw to go back to Salt Lake and then back to Mesa on Saturday night.

Ann's first time horse back riding....

This is Sherriff and Ann, she got to ride him yesterday while we were out at Ray and Margaret's. She has been asking us all week so far and we haven't been able to take her because the baby was born this week. So Ray and Russell took her out.

Here is our new grandson!!!!

This is Charles Owen Grant, born June 12, 2008 at 3:55am. He weighed 7 lbs 9 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. He loves his daddy very much... and knows the sound of his voice very well.
