Summer Fun!

So this past week my WONDERFUL Mom and Sister, Arena, came to visit me! I was so excited to have them here and am so grateful that they came! This was suppose to be a "relaxing" vacation, so we just took it easy and day by day! On Tuesday, I took them up to Los Alamos and showed them around. Here are some of the pictures my sister took!




Isn't it beautiful up here in the Mountains?

Tuesday Night we got a call from my Brother, Andy, telling us that he needed to bring my niece, River, to stay with us because his wife Alex was having some health issues. So we had to adjust our plans and decided that the zoo would be a great place to visit.

Here are some pictures. All credit goes to my sister, she is an amazing photographer!
 
 

First was the monkeys! 
 
They were amazed!
Next up were the Rhinos!

We all couldn't believe how BIG they were!

We stopped by the giraffes!
 
 But this was the big hit! Elephants! 

River was SO excited!
Hyrum liked them too, but not as much as River!
We then stopped at the duck pond and fed the ducks. This duck was our friend! She wouldn't leave us alone. I think we fed *handfuls*of food to her.

Here she is again!

Even River LOVED feeding the ducks!

River loved pulling Hyrum in the wagon! She was *VERY* helpful!

Hyrum's favorite was the seals! He really loved it when they would swim right by our window!

It was so fun!

I love my little Man!

I am so lucky to have such a wonderful Mom and Sister! They were such a help with Hyrum and he loves both his Nanna and Aunt Rennie! He couldn't get enough of them! He also LOVED following River around and doing everything she does! She teaches him so much!

We hope that everyone is having a blast of a summer and having memories that last!!

Brad, Jet, and Hyrum!

  Hyrum loved watching them dig!

River loved carrying her baby around in the backpack!

Andy taught River how to roast marshmallows
River fed Hyrum Marshmallows

Saturday Afternoon we went to the Colorado Alligator farm. Pictures to come!

April-May 2010

Man... A lot has happened since I last posted. We went to Provo for Brad's graduation. It was a blast and while we were there, I got to spend some much needed time with one of my best friends, Mariah Evanson. She is an amazing photographer and so I HAD to get some much needed Family pictures. You can check them out here: www.mae.photoreflect.com Look under the recent photos- Jet, Bradley, and Hyrum Skidmore. When we got back to NM we watched 3 kids, McKay (15), and twins Keven and Kyler (10) for 15 days while there parents and 2 older brothers went to Brazil. It was a wonderful experience. They are great Kids.

Hyrum is growing up so fast. I can't believe it! Here are some recent photos!








 He is such a fun boy! We love him!

We hope that your family is happy and healthy! Enjoy the summer time!

Coming soon: The Great Sand Dunes!
