It's Wednesday (sorry its been a while)






























So in the last few days we have gotten all the way to Phoenix, AZ!!  We have driven 1602 miles so far and have been going, going, going!!  It has been a lot of driving but the kids are holding on great!!  I am so proud of the kids.  There hasn't been much for them to do in the car but they have been Angels!!  I'm very happy with the trip over all.  With just over 1000 miles to go I think we are going to make it.  Pray that we can finish up strong.  Tonight we are driving 616 miles of the 1000.  So Friday should be a little lighter driving.  So Monday was Disneyland.  We had a lot of help getting in by friends and family.  Our wonderful friends Scotty and Dana Ast, Cousins Jimmy and Linda Farrah, and Grandma and Grandpa (Chris and Reg).  We didn't know if we could afford it but because of these guys we got in and had the best day ever!!  I'm going to put on some of the pictures but can't put them all on. We got there at 9am and stayed until after 11:30PM!!  We made a full day of it and the kids had a blast.  We rode splash mountain, space mountain, and tons of other rides.  We saw Princesses, Tigger, Mickey, and the entire parade of characters.  We ended the day at Disneyland store and Lego store so they could spend all the money Grandma and Grandpa gave them for souveniers.  We finally made it home and crashed, Emma made it to the first couch inside Cousin Jimmy's and Linda's house and crashed!!  Beth and Tyler made it all the way to bed but we didn't hear a peep out of them!!  We were all so tired we slept in and started our day a little late for Phoenix.  We got to the Jeffery Residents last night (Tuesday).  They were kind enough to let us crash at there house and Karen had even made us fresh cookies for when we arrived!!  Karen and Dain Jeffery are Dana Ast's Parents.  They live in Glendale, AZ.  That is just north a bid of Phoenix.  We have been here resting last night and today.  I have been asleep for the last few hours so that I can drive tonight.  I'm planning on taking it easy and getting there around 10 or 11am.  Then we will stay there until Friday and head to Texas.  All the days have been going together and with so many great people to visit and things to see it has been quite the week.  I will try to post more tomorrow night after we see the caverns.  Thanks for all the prayers and keep them coming.
