Family time

Last week we got to spend some more time with Tim's sister's family another time before we go back overseas. We're so grateful for the time that we got to spend with them!!
One day we went swimming. Another day we went to the children's museum and the last day we went to the splash pad. We also got to enjoy lots of hanging out time! :)

You can see more pictures of our time below...

Surprising Kelly

We were so excited to surprise my cousin Kelly!! We happened to be in the same place at the same time and so we met up for breakfast. She was just telling my uncle, "I wonder if I'll get to meet Joseph and Faith before they go into highschool." Little did she know that they were waiting for her at the restaurant!!

Time with Nana and Uncle Dan

Last week we got to spend some time with Jeni's Grandma and Uncle Dan! They sure love Joseph and Faith. They spoil these two kiddos and Faith and Joseph love it!

They call my grandma "Nana" a name that Joseph insisted on when he was a baby! They have so much fun with Nana. She gave Faith a set of play jewelry, which was so cute! She loved wearing her tiara, earings, necklace and ring. Faith is such a girly girl!

Papa's Birthday

It's not hard for us to remember Papa's birthday because it's the same day as our anniversary!! We were glad to get to celebrate his birthday with him this year! We celebrated a few days late since we were in Washington DC on June 3rd. We went to Chilis and introduced him to the Molten Chocolate Cake!! YUM!!


Below are a few more pictures of our time!

Washington DC

Last week we left Joseph and Faith in Albuquerque with grandparents. We flew to Washington DC, just the two of us! It was such a nice time together!

We loved getting to catch up with friends!! We were close to Elizabeth when she was living in the Middle East in the same city that we were in. What a special friendship with a wonderful friend!

We also got to catch up with some friends we got to know in Albuquerque. Shaun & Anna recently adopted a precious baby girl! We got to meet this sweet baby and rejoice with them in how God has worked in their family!

I'm including a slide show of our pictures below.

Friends & Family

In May we were blessed to get to catch up with some more friends and family! It was great to finally spend some time with Beth & Jamin Mayer and their five kids. Here is a picture of Beth and her two girls, Shannon and Renee. Jeni and Beth are childhood friends and then went to college together. That's where Beth met Jamin and Jeni met Tim. We have so many memories together!!

We were also so glad that Tim's cousin Valerie came to New Mexico. She lives in Lake Tahoe. Neither Joseph nor Faith have had the opportunity to meet her yet! The kids fell in love with her right away!!

Cabin Time

We were so thankful to be able to spend 5 days at a cabin near Jemez Springs, NM! Its a cabin that Tim and his family has been going to for many years. It was so quiet and relaxing! The trees and the mountain air were such a nice change of scenery. It was a nice time for our family! The last couple days we got to have Tim's parents around, which was a blessing!

I'm including a slideshow of the pictures below. :)
