We met Amanda and Jonathan and went to play at a park. The kids had a blast. Even the big one!

We had a great time spending time with Amanda and Jonathan, playing at the park, having a cook out at Amanda's sister and brother-in-laws house, swimming and just hanging out! Thank you to those involved in making the weekend happen.

We learned some really interesting things at the Aztec ruins like how they made corn into corn meal back then.

We went to the Aztec Ruins in Aztec NM. The kids made Adobe bricks, all of them execpt Alicia who said "I don't want to make them because I don't want to get my hands dirty". (Mom, does that remind you of anyone?)

We went away last weekend. I took the kids to New Mexico. It was a long ride but the kids were pretty good in the car. One of the biggest challenges was finding a place to stop for them to go to the bathroom. We stopped at this place and I thought the girls would be carried off by the wind.

Sliding

We went sliding on an awesome hill with some friends. About 50 min. north. We had sooo much fun. Mia got tired part way through but she is almost back to Mia-normal. I know there are a lot of pictures to follow but I wanted to show eveyone how much fun we had. AND that we have snow here too!

Even the big kids played!

We had a few snowball fights, none I won I must say! I had a ton of fun playing around in the snow. I also have to say that snow down your back doesn't feel any better at 35 then it did as a kid.

Cody trying to be a gentlemen.

Cody was trying his hardest to pull Leach up the hill. His dad decided to help him out. Loook at the smiles on everyones faces. This is a great picture to define the experience.
