My visit to Virginia- May 09

These are the most beautifuls kids I have ever seen! (I imagine the only kids more beautiful to me would be my own)

I love them more than anything in the world. My heart just melts when I see their precious faces and when they say my name! I love it when Annalee and I argue who loves each other more! I love it when Avery asks where everyone is by saying each of their names. I love it when Shelby gives her michevious smile and when she sings as loud as she can!!! I can't wait to see how Reece grows up with 3 sisters!

They mean so much to me and I cherish the time I get to spend with them. I'm so glad I was able to see them in May! The moments are few but very special!

Gallup June 09

I went to Gallup NM for a children's nutrition and vascular health study for work. While we were there we were able to enjoy some of the sights and hikes!!

We went to Richardson's Trading Post. It was amazing what the Navajo can make!

Fair Grounds in Gallup. View from our hike to church rock.

These are old bomb shelters if I remember correctly!

Veronica, Steve, and Nora.

Here is a vew of Chimney Rock from our hike!

God is a beautiful artist!!

It's soooo heavy!!

We needed a break so they took over!!!

Camping with Adam and Dana...and Maddi

We camped near Jefferson. It was beautiful but a little chilly since it was May.

So cute!

I love aspen trees!!!

This is what it did all weekend which made it even more chilly.

We had a little bit of sun when we were hiking and were hoping it would last... but it didn't and continued to rain.

What a trooper Dana is... going hiking and bearing the rain while being pregnant!

Maddi had a blast fetching!

The water was freezing but she didn't care!

Getting ready for our hike... in the rain!

All in all though it was a blast!!
