Little Animals & A Late Snow Fall

The girls brought these kittens and their mamma back from the farm one day. We didn't end up keeping them, but it was sure fun to have them around for a little while!

So tired!

This lamb needed a little extra bottle feeding, so Laurissa ended up bringing it home from the barn for a night.

\

Laurissa had to wake up two times during the night to feed it. 

We were surprised by a late spring snow dump. Isn't it just crazy!?

Lots of snow!

"He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth."
Isaiah 53:7

We are Home!

 God has been so faithful in providing our needs on this trip, that it leaves us feeling amazed at his faithfulness.

After 7 weeks of traveling we home at last!!! If anyone has ever been gone from home that long, you can imagine how wonderful that feeling is! :)

 For the next week or so we will be busy cleaning the camper out, catching up on laundry, and packing away items that belong in the house.

Arizona and Colorado

One day while traveling through Arizona we pulled over and I was able to take some pictures of the  beautiful scenery. 

This is the mountain that was very close to our Grandma's house.

 The road that led up the mountain...

The view from above... It was stunning!

After we left our Grandma's house, we stopped and visited the Grand Canyon.

The view was incredible!

Smiles.

We also went to the Royal Gorge in Colorado.

Here is the bridge that went over the gorge.

The cable car that carried us across.

Looking down into the gorge.

All six of us kids.

And our wonderful parents.



"How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publish peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reingeth."
Isaiah 52:7

Fun Swimming Day

In Tucson Arizona we stayed at a RV campground. While the guys were at a air and space museum, us girls had fun in the outdoor swimming pool!

Since it was "winter" to most of the people there, nobody else dared to give it a try. So we got the pool all to ourselves!

Sunburned smiles.

 Miranda wanted to be launched up and into the water, so Laurissa got nominated to be the launcher.

                                                                       

3...2...1...Blast off!

 

                                                                     

Yes, and she survived!!! ;)

                                                               

 We all had a great time!!!

New Mexico White Sand

While we were in New Mexico we just HAD to stop at the White Sand National Park. It was a blast!

It looked like snow!

Brrr... Just kidding!

Foot prints in the sand...

Mini Golf

~ Mini Golfing in Austin Texas ~

 Our diligent score keeper.

 Such sweet smiles!

~ Friends in San Antonio ~

On the 17th we went down to San Antonio to spend some time with the Rugloski's. 

We also sang at a church in their area on the 20th.

Hiking!

 Swimming!

Kayaking!

The gang!

 Later during the following day we visited the Alamo.

Sisters!

The guys!

The girls! 

We had such a fun time together!

"Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed."

Psalms 37:3

Texas!

 On our way through Texas we stopped at the Natty Flat Smokehouse, which has a furniture store right next door. Sitting out by the road is this giant cedar rocking chair. Someone want to try to rock that thing???

Maybe we just shrunk...

 We stopped in for a couple of malts! 

Ice cream anyone?

Yummy!

Kansas Concert

Now that I finally have some internet I will update our blog with a new post. Our family left home on Wednesday, and traveled all day long. During the evening we stopped at our Uncles place in Kansas city. We stayed there for a couple of days, and ended up singing for some of his neighbors at his house. On Friday we traveled to Wichita Kansas, and sang at a church in Benton. 

 We are now staying at one of my Mom's cousins house in Oklahoma, and are heading to Texas very soon. We will be staying in Texas for about a week. 

Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.

Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

Psalms 100:1-2
