We drove in the mommy mobile to Albuquerque, NM to visit my Father, Stepmother, and my two brothers. Sadly, this was our first time to visit in about nine years! It was SO much fun and we are SO grateful for their hospitality and graciousness with our tribe! :)
(Sorry the back to back posting took a week! What can I say life with a honey and three babies does get packed at times!)
Push the play button to watch the kids' enthusiasm for baseball and Bella's enthusiasm for the camera!
As you can see everyone in Roswell has capitalized on the "alien story". Here is the McDonald's spaceship play area
(it was actually the coolest McD's we have seen).
I had an epiphany while watching Justus play that day. He was SO excited and completely content in this little area and terrified to go any higher. All the while he was missing the real excitement up top (see below). Finally, with the help of his Father, he overcame some of his fear and climbed somewhat higher. I just thought as I watched him, "this is exactly how I tend to be in life". I get to one point and tend to be fearful to step out and take any significant risks, but when I ask God for help AND FOLLOW HIS INSTRUCTION, He is always there and I get the opportunity to experience some incredible things. Sometimes that takes me down a path that is uncertain at the time, but the blessings are immeasurable when I step out in faith. Just some thoughts...
Look at this sweet Daddy and Pierce pic.

My Father and Stepmother, Tip, took the kids and us to a children's museum that was SO neat! In this pic, Bella wanted to see the fish. When Kun -Yai (Tip) put her up there, Bella decided to kiss the tank; each time she kissed this one fish swam straight for her mouth! It was so cute! (We asked for the Thai words for Grandpa and Grandma to help the kids distinguish between the 10 grandparents/great-grandparents.)
Kun- ta (grandpa in Thai), Daddy, and Justus cut up paper cups to make them fly -- pretty good!!!
Pierce and Bella enjoying the ride.
Gary and I enjoying the museum as well...
Kun - ta and Justus making sand storms.
Happy Days -- Pierce and Mommy!
HAPPY THREE MONTH BIRTHDAY PIERCE!!!
Yet another shutterbug in the fam!!!
Poor Justus fell off the bed while he was in his sleeping bag and got a FAT lip from hitting the nightstand. This picture does not accurately show how bad his poor lip looked.
Sweet moment...
This is an even sweeter moment...a family day a church, few things could have made my day more. In the pic is Bella, Jillian (my brother's wonderful girlfriend!), Tip, Dad, and Billy.
This is my other brother, Richard. He has grown SO much since the last time we got to see him. It was so great to see them both!!!
Bella post ice cream and Thai talkin'.
The view from my dad's house -- amazing!
This is my Dad and Tip's restaurant. Let me tell you, Tip makes the BEST Thai food EVER!!! In ten years, we have yet to find her match!
The kids waiting to eat some delicious Thai!
I had to throw in these gratuitous pics of Pierce at the end!
Hope you enjoyed!!!
