Everyday...

Everyday he tells her he loves her...everyday he holds her close...everyday he laughs with her...everyday they smile...everyday he picks her up...everyday he strokes her hair...everyday he kisses her...everyday he is grateful for her...everyday he is amazed by her...everyday his eyes lights up because of her...everyday he works hard for her...everyday he holds her hand...everyday he says she is a beautiful baby...everyday he couldn't imagine his world without her...and her's without him. We love you Daddy.

Happy Father's Day!

just because...

I love her. She is our joy and this picture captures just a little of her spunk and personality that draws you in...never to be the same again. I had to share...no big story...no real reason...just because she is our joy.

Family and Blessings

We had such a relaxing and enjoyable visit to Arizona. Richard had never been to Snowflake and on our arrival got the tour from Russell. We just happened to be there for Richard's b-day and he was able to celebrate by going shooting, riding quads, eating BBQ, and spending time with his brother. (Thank you again for the wonderful present Russ!) On Sunday we were honored to be there for the blessing of Reese Mae. She was perfect during the blessing...it was beautiful!

Raegan and Maile

I ended up with a bunch of pictures of these two girls...could it be because they are so cute? Or could it be that Maile followed Raegan all around and wanted to do whatever she was doing...and eat what she was eating! Here are the two girls sharing popcorn in Raegans room...(sorry Mommy!)

Cars

We thought these buildings looked familiar..and Russ and Marcie confirmed it..we drove along the stretch of road that inspired the movie set of Cars! Notice the "Cozy Cone Motel" and the Italian Tire shop building? I couldn't resist sharing...it was too cool! It even looks like Mater is staying at the Motel!!

The Magnificent Hoover Dam

Another leg of our trek to Arizona took us to the Hoover Dam. This was the first time I had ever been...and it was truly amazing. Maile really loved it too! We were all in awe of the beauty and the incredible construction that has stood the test of time. What a marvel! We were able to get some good family shots...hope you enjoy!

A stop in Las Vegas

On our way to Arizona we made a stop in Vegas for some rest and a little visit. Rosemaria and Maile hadn't seen each other in almost a year! It was really sweet to watch these two little girls, only 1 day apart, play like they had been playing together for years. I wish I had gotten more pictures but here are a few (yup..still in their pajamas!) We love you guys and thanks again for the cozy place to sleep and yummy food in our belly!!
