And video:

Jackson Family Reunion

Shelley's mother, Gloria = an original Jackson! The following pics are from the reunion held at Fort Richardson in Jacksboro, Texas, on Oct 4, 2008. Coming from San Diego, Texas...I'm not used to such nice parks...our 'Fort' is "The Casa Blanca" (but that's a long story...).

Here are the pics:
















Quick update - trip to J-boro

Amigos, familia...sorry it's been so long since we've updated the blog. We actually have a lot of photos and videos...but I'm skim'n through em really quick to find the best ones.

I'm on my 4th Sam Adam's Octoberfest (great beer) and jam'n to some Ricky Naranjo y los Gamblers (if you follow the link...skip the "hip hop" version and save yourself a headache...go straight to the cumbia's and rancheras) -- oh yeah...si seƱor!!

Here we go -- the pics below are from our trip up north to Jacksboro, TX (430 miles...one way from our new home Corpitos...I mean, Corpus Christi, TX):

Thanks for all the help familia and friends...

Aaron -- yeah, the poker guy -- I knew I could count on you bro. Thanks for coming out and helping me clear out the storage building.

G - thank you as well for helping me out packing up that big ol uhaul truck!

Thank you Aimee for the great grub you cooked up for us Friday night!

Dell - our lovely neighbor and adopted grandma - we love you. Thank you for all you did for us: taking care of our dogs, our house, our belongings...etc...

Corey and Melissa - Thanks again for coming through for us during such a stressful time!

Papa Ken (Kendall) and Glo (Gloria) - thanks for coming down over and over to help us out. You guys and Corey & Melissa were great -- thanks for "literally" going the extra mile (all the way to 78412) to help us pack and unpack!

Cho-che (George) and Becca - thanks for helping us unpack!

Dad and Laura - Thank for not only helping us unpack and getting us some drinks during the hot summer night.

And of course...Abuela - Mom - Nelda B -- thank you for not only helping us unpack, but also for "baby sitting" Grace while we Shelley and I "roomed in" with Genevieve. Thanks for "rooming in" with us during our first few nights here in CC -- we really appreciate your help!

Thank you ALL!!!!

I feel like I'm forgetting someone...and I know I did...so please forgive me if I did. I gotta hit the sack...Genevieve is up for a feeding in about 1.5 hours...then again every 3 hours...so sleep is very much needed...

OH - and we see our NEW pediatrician tomorrow -- pray that goes well!

ni-night...
