Sring Break in New Mexico

For Spring Break this last week we went and visited my sister Rochelle's family in New Mexico. Her 2 little boys are the same age as my 2 little girls, so it was nice for the kids to be able to play. We had a lot of fun...minus the flu bug we brought with us, sorry Shel! We did take the kids to the zoo one day which was really neat.




This Peacock walking around and Emrie almost touched it she was so close to it.





The elephants were really cool. They got in the water and swam (2 adults and the baby) and they played in the water forever and when they got out they used their trunks to fling a bunch of dirt on themselves. It was pretty funny.

Molly happy...which was pretty rare. She is teething for the first time..her 2 bottom teeth and she is a very unhappy little girl. Crying and nursing the day away. I sure hope it's not like this for all her teeth or I might lose my mind!

We also went to the aquarium, which was very neat.





I told Emrie, see...even fish can't lie or their noses grow, just like pinocchio. She had no idea what I was talking about, but I thought this fish was pretty funny.



Rochelle and lincoln! So cute!

And of course there was the tank with all the sharks. Creepy!

Spring Break was fun. We got home just in time for the snow storm this weekend. And man there is A LOT of snow out there...church was canceled and class for Chad tomorrow has been canceled. Maybe we can make it out sledding tomorrow :D Anyone up for some sledding?

We miss you! Come back! Elijah loved having Emrie and Lincoln loved being able to wrestle Molly. Ha ha. I need to get my pictures up soon. Love you and don't worry about the flu. We seem to bring sickness far more than anyone brings it to us. Love you!(Molly and Emrie are so stinkin' cute and beautiful little girls!)
