dozing Jared

I found Jared like this one day last week. I don't know how he can sleep like that. I guess he was really tired...

Here's my little baby bump at 16 weeks...

We find out on August 13th whether it is a boy or girl. Nathan says, "It's a sister!" We'll see...

New Mexico adventures

We've been in New Mexico this week, staying with Alex's parents. They moved to New Mexico a few months ago, since they retired at the end of the year. We hadn't been to their new house yet. It's really nice and great to see mountains - they live just east of Albuquerque. Here's a few pictures from the week.



We took the boys to the Rio Grande Zoo in Albuquerque. Their favorites were the elephants and the seals & sea lions.

















Nathan went to the shooting range with Alex and Papa John.














We went on a little "field trip" one day. Alex had fun seeing the geology in the area. (I had a hard time getting interested, but we went along for the ride.)
























Alex's parents bought some goats, but the little pygmy goats are still scared to death. The boys have been trying to pet them, but only chasing them around.




Sometimes I wish we could keep the boys in a pen...












We saw the Salinas and Abo ruins, from the Spanish, which are about 350-400 years old.







Alex and I also went to the Albuquerque temple.













We went to a park in Estancia. Their mascot is a bear. The boys had fun playing on the merry-go-round. You don't see those very often anymore...

on the road...

We stopped by Arches National Park on the drive to Utah. We didn't stay long, but saw a few of the sites. We didn't do the hike to the famous "Delicate Arch" because it was about 95 degrees out. It was neat to see some of the other spots.

Alex and I had the opportunity to go to the Salt Lake Temple one afternoon when we were there in Utah. It was the first time I've been inside since my family was sealed there about 24 years (? mom help me out) ago. It was a neat experience. I got emotional as I thought about the significance of what took place in that very temple - sealed together as a family forever.

Alison and Micah's wedding

My sister got married in the Mt. Timpanogas temple on Friday, June 27th. It was wonderful - my 1st opportunity to see one of my siblings married in the temple.
