Carlsbad Caverns

We had some time to kill today while attending a missions conference so we decided to visit Carlsbad Caverns here in NM. I hadn't been to a cave since the spring family vacation of 1994. Well overdue for another experience, eh?? :)

 Getting ready to enter!!!

 Nice!!!

 ........and dark.

You're not allowed to use strollers in the cave, but Hubby and I braved it with the kiddos anyway. Poor Clay was unsure from the start and REFUSED to walk. Hubby and I took turns carrying him the rest of the way and I'm proud to say that we made it safely all the way to the bottom ( BTW.....Hubby already had one child in a carrier and I had my pregnant belly self ). We did, however, ride the elevator back up to the top. :)-

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!!!

Had a "book party" today for the kiddos. Lots of fun and good eats! :)

Special thanks to Pinterest for the neat-o ideas!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Hubby, Clint, my 3 younger siblings and I took a quick Thanksgiving trip to NYC. Wore ourselves out, but had an awesome time seeing the Macy's parade, Ground Zero, riding the subway, and visiting as much of the city as we could. Miss my other 2 kiddos, but know they're in good hands..........and getting spoiled by grandma. :)

O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Psalm 136:1

Switching to Facebook

Aren't they the cutest little thangs??

Happy Father's Day!!

(working on Daddy's card)

Clint loves his daddy. He gets excited when he comes home from work, he likes his truck and lawn mower (( vroom, vroom!!)), and he loves going outside with him. I'm so blessed to have married a man that makes such a good godly role model for my children!

I'm also blessed to still have my daddy alive and well. My mom couldn't say that when she was my age and I know of a couple of people who will be spending Father's Day this year for the first time without a dad. My heart goes out to them and I pray they'll receive an extra blessing tomorrow from their Heavenly Father. He truly loves us more than any human can or will!
