We celebrated my beautiful grandma's life in Glenwood Springs, Colorado last week.

This is how I feel when Nae climbs...she's making our trip more difficult since she figured out how to climb out of her pack n' play our first night in the hotel...maybe difficult is the wrong word, maybe interesting is a better word to use. :)

Brad tells the girls a Bible story before bed each night.
Becky offered to babysit the girls so Brad and I could go out for a date one night. We planned on having her come to our room when both girls fell asleep...well, Ruthie was taking a long time to do so. Eventually I told her that Aunt Becky would only come if she was asleep. So Ruthie ran to her bed, pulled the covers over her, closed her eyes and said, "Is Aunt Becky babysitting me now? Is Aunt Becky babysitting me now?" Apparently she loves her Aunt Becky!

Nae and Tommy are exactly a week apart in age.
Cute Thomas.


This picture makes me laugh. Mike, you can notice how amazing your wife is since it's evident she's taking care of all FOUR kids by herself while Mom and I pose for the picture. Thanks for saving our kids from the raging waters below, Beck. :)

Cousins.
Ruthie and Nae Nae fought over who got to hold Tommy's hand...they had to take turns.

Matthew taught me Latin while we ate dinner one night.
You might be able to see the HUGE boulder Steve threw into the river...it kinda blends in with the mountain behind it.
Our nephew Caleb. I can't believe how old and mature he's getting...it's neat to hear stories of how he loves the Lord and is growing in Christ-likeness.
My mom's friends.


Amber taught Nae how to climb this boulder... thanks Amber! :)




The girl's first experience with Superman ice cream. Ruthie kept pretty clean...
...while Naomi was a little bit messier.
Nae eating lemons...this entertained her till our food arrived.
