getting around the blog

with this blog I am going to play a bit and see what I come up with. My granddaughter tried to show me how to add pictures and how to get around this blog, so I guess I really throw caution to the wind and give it a try. Earlier this month we flew to Reno and the trip went very well, we were pretty tired when we got into Reno because our plane left Anchorage at 12:30 am and we went to Los Angeles instead of seattle which added another hour and half to our travel then we connected to fly back to Reno and arrived at 9:30 am. We were excited to see everyone and were really happy to know that the kids from Idaho made it also, it has been awhile since we saw them and they were looking really great. We went down for Alexander's graduation, wow, Marina will only have two kids at home for the next couple of years, cannot imagine how that will be. We got to see Marcus what a cutie he is, Lorraine and Josh will be moving to San Diego CA, Josh got his orders for Miramar and let me tell you, they were very happy about that. Juliet is quite the girly girl, she is so precious and Eric is growing like a week and he is a very happy boy. I am so happy all is going well with all the kids.
My two brothers were up in Carson this weekend and it was so good to see them, Jim has a dog named Beamer and he runs the obstical courses and does pretty good and Tom came to visit and it was the first time in several (over 10 yrs) they have met up and spoken so I was very happy all went well.
We luck out on our return trip to Anchorage, we were able to upgrade to 1st class and got the last two seats available and the best part was it only cost me $50 because the girl was late to get up the the arrival gate so she only charged me for the one seat but gave us both so our total air travel was only $70.00 because we used mileage for the original tickets how neat is that?
I am going to try and add my pictures now and see what happens. Wish me luck.
