McGaffey

We live in the high desert, and if you were to just pass through our city, you would never know that just a few miles in several directions around us, there are beautiful forests!!!

We've been taking advantage of this blessing a lot lately since I'm pregnant and don't want to travel too far, but still want to enjoy a little vacationing! We've gone hiking, picnicing and camping!

Coming to pick up Uncle Jared

After two weeks of being so blessed to have Jared in our home, and being such a great example to our kids, and so fun, he actually had to go back to his house and work and get ready for his mission. Gramie and Grandaddy, Beth, Robin and Elsa came to stay the weekend and take Jared back home. We had so much fun with everyone here! And feel so happy to have had them!

A Day in the Mountains

I know it's been a while since I updated my Blogs! So I'm catching up today!

A few weeks ago I took the kids for a 45 minute drive up to the mountains for a picnic and hiking and to let our dog Thor run around.

Coin and Stamp Collecting

We went to an interesting and fun presentation about coin and stamp collecting given by brother Ashcroft from church. The kids were especially excited when he gave them a bunch of souvenirs!

Boots

Sunday afternoon I caught Allie outside in her dress, wearing boots and eating a green onion from the garden!

Here she is running back to the garden for MORE green onions!!!

Kristy returns Home

On April 2, We all went to Albuquerque to pick Kristy up from the airport! The kids were so excited (we were all excited)! It took Kristy about 18 hours to fly home!!! What a great blessing to have a missionary come home safely! I am so thankful for her and her faithfulness and great example to my kids!!!
