Mesa Verde

Two weeks ago we went on a little vacation to Cortez/Mesa Verde, Colorado. We got to see some of the awesome cliff dwelling ruins (as seen below), as well as visit the Four Corners monument. It is incredible that these have been preserved for so long! We hope you enjoy the pictures! Oh yeah, and we thought it was going to be warm down there...not a chance. It was still cold and snowy. Oh well, we still enjoyed it!

Whoa! He was in four states at once! (Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona)

cheese and baptisms

This picture is great! Sometimes our little guy--who is zooming (crawling) all over now and getting bumps on his head--is such a little cheeser for the camera. So fun!









On Saturday we were able to go to the baptism of our niece, Madison. She looked so pretty and it was such a good experience! It was a great reminder to us of the priceless gift Heavenly Father has given us, even the Holy Ghost. We are so grateful for the Holy Ghost, for the guidance he gives, and for the testimony of truth that he brings to us. Wonderful! We also got to see Alan's sister Amber and her two children, Payton and Xoie, who are visiting from out of town. It was wonderful to see them all!!!

This picture is of the three little babies, from left to right (and oldest to youngest): Benjamin, Xoie, and Spencer. Amber is the lovely lady in the picture. It was fun to see the three little ones together!
