New things!!!

Sooo I forgot to tell everyone, Faith got a TOOTH FINALLY, when we were traveling, she did really good, not too fussy, but I think she is getting her other bottom one right now...she is pretty grumpy!!

Also...drum roll please....we are ALMOST crawling, and I think if all the floors she was on wasn't wood, or tile, she would be crawling :) I have more video, but my cord is in the trailer, so this short & sweet one will do for now :) Hope everyone is doing wonderful!!!

On the road again...

This seems to be the Perry Family theme song! We thought we were settled in Portland, but alas we are back in Texas. It happened quite fast, and I wasn't able to say goodbye to everyone I wanted to, but I know God has a plan for us & I am trusting him in everything we do!

We decided Friday evening we would leave, so Saturday (April 17th) we left around Faith's bedtime, with hopes of making it 8 hours to Reno. But...we didn't we got almost to Salem, and Josh's truck was acting weird, so we stoped 4 hours from Portland, in Central Point & stayed with Rox, Don & Griffin. Unfortunatley Wyatt & Chey were at there dads house! It was nice to spend time with them before we left the area, and for Faith to see her cousin, who is way bigger than her, but 3 months younger!!!

On Monday morning, we did a little work on his truck, and seemed to have the problem fixed!! YAY, so we left for Reno, to pick up the motorcycle trailer, and visit with friends. Monday was probably our BEST traveling day, Faith was great, she watched her baby einstein dvds, and slept, I was very impressed!!! We made it to Mike & Shelley's house around 4 pm, and hung out with them until about 8:30, when we decided to push on to Vegas, YES we are NUTS!

Faith did great from Reno to Vegas, it was about an 8 hour drive, long & boring, and I will say this now & please hold me to it...I WILL NEVER MAKE THAT DRIVE AGAIN!! It is probably the longest most boring drive in the WHOLE world! I do LOVE LOVE LOVE driving through Hawthorne, NV and it brings tears to my eyes every time, because my great grandparents & my grandma Sharon lived there at one time, just driving down the road, knowing they were there makes me soo happy!!! We made it to Vegas about 5 am Tuesday, and slept till about 8, and Faith was not wanting to be with her Yaya & not her mommy..so we got up, and all had a cold, oh and a flat tire on my truck :( so we just layed around, and met Chelle & Angelina for dinner! Then left Wednesday morning, destination: new mexico....

We ended up in Laughlin, NV, about an hour & half from Las Veags!! Josh blew out the Turbo on his welding truck :( So we had to take it to Kingman, AZ to get fixed, we got a hotel in Laughlin, and hung out there, because it was River Run weekend (huge bike ralley), so if there were a place to be stuck that was it!! We made the best of it, and when his truck wasn't finised Thursday we decided to get a hotel in Kingman so we were close to the truck, so we got a hotel & watched the NFL Draft, Josh's 2nd cousin, Ryan Matthews was a first round draft pick! #12 to be exact, it was VERY exciting to watch, and we are officially San Diego Charger Fans!!!!!! Faith also went swimming for the first time!!!!

Friday morning we got a call the truck was FINALLY finished :) WOO HOO, so we headed to New Mexico, about 60 miles from Albuquerque we had a tire blow out on the travel trailer, so finally around 1 am we made it to Santa Rosa, NM, and stayed the night, got up the next morning, and was TEXAS bound!!! We made it about 90 miles from Josh's dad's house & I had a tire blow out on the motorcycle trailer that I was pulling!! But finally Saturday evening around 8:30 pm we made it to Ken's house in Crowley! We are here for a couple days before heading to either Carthage for work, or to John & Jessie's house in Newton, Tx, until the job starts!!! Thanks for all the prayers & well wishes on our long journey, I am so glad we made it here safely!

Beautiful weather & Drama Queens...;)

FINALLY the weather is good!!! It literally has been raining since we got home from Las Vegas!! The sun has finally been out for a couple days & Faith & I are soaking up every second of it!!!! Today before nap time we spent some time out side, and took a couple pictures, mostly because I LOVE Faith's new shirt & I wanted to show it off, with some pictures! It says "Miss Drama Queen" which fits her PERFECTLY she is soo dramatic sometimes, especially when she just wants me to hold her, she will whine like crazy & the second I pick her up she is ALL smiles! I wonder where she gets it from...must be Josh! Well here are some pics of her new shirt!!

Swings!!

So this weekend we discovered that Faith LOVES swings!! This weekend was her first time on a swing, and she was laughing the whole time!! I wish I would've caught it on video on Saturday, but I did on Sunday!! Saturday we had a great day, we went to an Auto Swapmeet...which was not fun, but Josh enjoyed it! Then we went to the Market in Vancouver, which is kind of like a farmers market!! Then there is a big park right next to it! It was a lot of fun!! Here are some pictures & video!!!

I hope everyone had as great of a weekend as we did!!!

Happy Easter!

I hope everyone had an amazing easter! Our was a little crazy, but VERY good!! Saturday we got some bad news, but hopefully everything will be ok. My grandpa Butch was admitted to the hospital, to the ICU in Critical condition, he seems to be getting better but isn't out of the woods yet. Easter weekend was spent praying A LOT for him, and my Grandma, that he will pull through. He is one tough guy, and I know he will come out of this even more fistey than ever!!

Here are a few pictures from the weekend!!! And thank you everyone who was and still is praying for my grandpa, it really means a lot to me & my family!
