I'M TELLING I CAN'T HOLD IT IN ANYMORE

CONGRATS TO KIM, DANNY AND MADISON, WE HAVE ANOTHER GONZALEZ ON THE WAY!!
Still hanging out in Cornville Arizona and plan on staying here until around the end of April. Know we have to be in Bakersfield on April 28th because the next 2 days we are watching Miss Madison. We are debating now about making a quick trip to Victorville, Calif. because we just got in touch with some ex-neighbors of ours, from Simi Valley, Steve and Jill Quercio, who are promoting a car race at the fairgrounds. When they lived across the street from us, in Simi, we use to help them with working the car racing stuff, sold tickets, did their flyers ect. it was great hearing from them on Facebook.
On my last blog I had mentioned about renting our house out for the summer but the rental company said it isn't worth it for 1 summer, they would make all the money we wouldn't. So I guess if anyone wants to come to Cornville during the summer just let us know and we will leave the key somewhere, MAYBE.
Yes, we are still going to Iowa for our summer job, Kim's baby is due around September 15th so I will either
1. fly back for the birth of the baby and Dave can drive back by himself
2. fly back for the birth then fly back to Iowa so I can drive back with Dave
3. after our jobs are done, Sept. 26th, drive back and see the baby when we get to Bakersfield and not be there for the birth. What do you think, they plan on having 4 kids couldn't I miss 1 birth?
We did get some shocking news the other day, the amusement park we will be working at was on fire. Judy, across the street from us and is from Iowa, sent me a link about the fire. It was contained to 3 buildings, I believe, on main street but nothing happened to the rides. Today the news from Iowa is that the park will still open as scheduled and since Dave and I are working on the rides part we still have jobs.
The weather since we have been back has been pretty good, last week I was wearing shorts all week but this week it took a turn for the worst. Rain and very cold.
My knee hasn't been doing very good lately. After the surgery I did bike riding and alot of walking but since getting back to Arizona and the treadmill being fixed I started jogging again. My knee doubled in size and Dave made me call the doctor and get back in to see him. The doctor had told us after the surgery that my knee was so tight that he had never seen one like it before. When we went in and saw him he was surprised how swollen it was and was talking about 1/2 knee replacement but 1st wanted to start with steroids. So he did a steroid shot in my knee and it's been a week now and the knee has gone down but it is still not up to par. I believe I will have to go back for a series of shots to lubricate the knee, it's 3 shots in a 2 week period, will see. Last resort is 1/2 knee replacement, the doctor did say my knees are not made for running, both are just too tight. I guess it's a good thing, I've never been told I was too tight before. :)

Kim, Danny and Madison are driving up tomorrow, Tuesday, for a visit and staying a couple days. Will see how child proof our house is. Just wish we had better weather, although it is suppose to clear up for a few days. Will write more after their visit.

Congrats to Spanky for getting a job, Congrats to Kim and Danny, let's just hope this 2010 turns out better for everyone.
Love ya enough talk for now.
