New Mexico

Last weekend, we had the pleasure of spending time in Clovis with Brian's brother Eric and his family. Danielle (Brian's niece) was getting baptized, so it was definitely a special occasion.

We had a lot of excitement on this trip. As we were driving down, we encountered some critters crossing the highway that you don't see around these parts. These were big enough that we could tell what they were when we were driving 65 mph. That's how big they were!! Don't click this link to see what they were if you freak out about weird critters, ok? ----> Critter.

We made it to Eric's house and went to the baptism that evening. The baptism was wonderful! We are so proud of you, Danielle!

This next picture is of Tyler shortly after falling on his face in the gym during dinner and got a fat lip with bleeding gums. It wasn't a pretty sight. There was blood on his white shirt and his favorite tie.

Later that same night, Tyler and his cousin, Josh, were playing around and Josh's head went right into Tyler's eye. What resulted was my son's first black eye!




Brayden sure had fun playing with his Grandparents....and the dog!!



Tyler and Josh had a great time together despite the black eye set-back. Tyler is sure excited to play with Josh when his family comes this weekend for Brayden's birthday party!


Aren't they a good looking bunch of kids? We love cousins!!


While we were there, Brian also help Eric and his brother-in-law tile the kitchen floor. Brian enjoyed hanging out with his brother and learning a new skill. He's even thinking about tiling our bathrooms now!




Thanks, Eric and Heather, for your hospitality and a fun weekend! We can't wait to see you guys this weekend!
