Surprise!!

As I type this post we are traveling through New Mexico on our way to CA! I am typing on Scott's new iPad that I am absolutely in love with!!! It has made this trip so far much more enjoyable. It's amazing the way we travel compared to the "old days." At one point this morning, Easton was watching a movie on netflix(on the iPad), Isabelle was watching a movie on the portable tv, Emarie was watching a movie on the car tv, Scott had his phone plugged into the radio listening to pandora, and I was on my cell phone. I thought,"what in the world would we do without all these electronics?" So with that being said I can add that the kids have been amazing. I'm very fortunate to have 3 little travelers, or 3 little kids that like to watch tv and play on their ds.

We left yesterday, Friday Dec 16, at 1:30 and drove to Van Horn, Tx. We got there about 2:30 am. The kids were delirious once we got them inside and in the bed. Especially Emarie, she had us laughing. But, we got a good 5 hours of sleep and got back on the road. Funny story about Emarie, I was getting in the shower and she says,"I come in there wiff you." I said,"whatever dude." She gave me this funny look and as serious as could be says,"I not dude, I emma-ee." She cracks me up!

I titled the post "surprise" so I guess I should explain why. Grandma does not know we are coming. Well, she knows we are coming but not this soon. She's expecting us next week. The even bigger surprise though is that the Crutchers are coming! I can't wait to see the look on her face when we show up at her door. Thank you Aunt Doreen and Uncle Tom for the fabulous idea and helping to make it happen! I can't wait to spend the Christmas holidays with the family. I hope grandma doesn't mind the early and extra company. Pretty sure she'll be ok with it! =)
