Large group gathering and volleyball

Recently we gathered out a BIC Navajo mission for a time of food fellowship and worship. Brian was also involved in a volleyball tournament at the mission the same day. Brian enjoys volleyball as an opportunity to meet lots of people within the Navajo community. There were lots of children around and even Sara made a new friend.

Noah turn's ten!

Well it is hard to believe but we now have a child in the double digits. Noah is growing into a responsible and hard working young man. Noah is doing well in his studies and enjoys working for others. Noah also enjoys earning money for a very special project the Lord has laid on his heart. If you want to know more about it ask him sometime and he would be glad to tell you.

scenic drive continued...

After traveling to Ouray we decided to continue on to Telluride. Telluride is kind of in a world by itself. The scenery is breathtaking and we were able to ride the lift up and down the mountain for more spectacular views. We even caught some elk grazing on the side of the mountain.

A scenic drive

This past Tuesday our family took a scenic drive on North 550 to Ouray, Colorado. We had put off the drive for a little while because we had heard the highway was one with winding turns and deep drop offs with no guard rails. Well the drops were everything we were told and more but the view was spectacular and absolutely gorgeous. The Lord blessed us with wonderful weather and a safe drive up and down the mountain passes. The pictures really don't do justice but we thought you might enjoy them just the same. Just as a side note Ouray is called the Swiss Alps of North America.

Time away

This past week we were blessed to have some time away in the Colorado mountains. This was our first family holiday where it was just us. We had a wonderful time relaxing and viewing the beautiful surroundings that our Creator has made.

The more the merrier

This past week we have had the opportunity to help a family and there three children. For the past 9 days we have been responsible for 8 children instead of just our 5. It has sure been busy but the Lord is good!

Mercy turns 4!

It seems hard to believe that we all have celebrated 2 birthdays here now. Mercy was planning her birthday for months. She wanted a cake covered in strawberries and clothes. Well she managed to get both. She had wanted to plan a pretty extensive guest list for her birthday party but that was a little tricky since her birthday fell on the holiday weekend. All in all she enjoyed her day of being a birthday princess!
