Springing into Spring!!

I'm so glad winter is almost behind us...but in true NM form, im sure we will have a few more cold snaps before the heat starts to set in.  We have had a pretty busy couple of months!!  Vivian started a new school, Landen had his birthday, we've been out and about exploring as much as we could on the not so cold days, and have been taking many trips to our home away from home in TorC.  Here's some pictures to document the last few months.  :

This is on one of our rides, we stopped at this area where rock climbing is pretty popular.  There was no one there this day, so Viv and Chris decided to take a rest. :-)

Then it was Landen's turn ;-)

Me and Viv making faces trying to get a friend of ours little girl to smile.  She has been in the hospital for almost 30 days because of severe asthma.  Poor thing, we are still wishing her well!!

A picture I took while out on our ride.  I gotta say instagram sure makes pictures look amazing!!  I look like a professional eh??

Another amazing trip to TorC, this time with Auntie Neen and Auntie Ems in town!!  Lorie's boyfriend JP also came, and they are all sitting around drawing the landscape around them. It was a gorgeous day!!

From sun to snow!!  This is our annual trip to salmon snag in Navajo Lake, NM.  The kids found icicles and were eating them :-)

another instagram picture of the San Jan River, right by our camp for Navajo salmon snagging.

This picture melts my heart...We took a roadtrip to Santa Fe one day and stopped at the Veterans Memorial Cemetery where Chris's grandparents are buried.  This is the kids giving their love to them...

This is Landen's 3rd birthday party pictures!!  He is showing me here how old he is ;-)  He couldn't decide what his favorite thing was this year, so we incorporated Thomas, Cars, and Planes together. :-)

His birthday cake and all of us singing to him

Daddy taking the wrapping off ALL the birthday presents

Another 4wheeling trip.  We went up to a mine that you could walk into.  Pretty spooky, but really neat!

My loves having a snack and exploring by the mine

The view...awesome!!  also my lil man is pretty cute :-)

And my birthday just past...34 years old on March 4th!  My mommy makes us whatever meal we want for our birthday every year, and this is my home cooked meal.  Broccoli casserol (the best EVER!!) green chili stew, and quesadillas.  It was awesome!!  Great food, friends, and time with family...what more could you want??
