Time to get back to blogging!!

Sorry I have not blogged in awhile. There is only one excuse, busy, busy, and busy or really just to lazy. In May we had some of the family home and we enjoyed every minute. Unfortunately they were not here all at the same time. Katie was here, then Sam and then Jake and Nate. Ben could not make it. Katie was first and so we spent some time with her and we went up to Sunset crater and then out to Wupatki National Monument. It was a great time. Sorry that the pictures are out of order but I forgot and just randomly picked them. Enjoy...... Isaac and Aubree watching the guys play horseshoes.

The ladies catching up on each others pregnancy stories.

Sam and Jacob Hall trying to beat Jake and Nate at horseshoes.

Jake trying to get a ringer with Nate giving advice.

Grandpa keeping the grandkids in the shade.

Great grandma's Miller and Brady with 5 of the great-grandchildren.

Reese and Jett getting to know each other.

Jett loved the Shrek ears and the blue ball.

Ethan trying to give Jett a big kiss or just wrestling.

It is more fun to wrestle with Uncle Sam.

Wupatki National Monument.

This is a blow hole at Wupatki and sometimes it
blows air and sometimes it sucks air. When David
and I went there it was sucking, this time The air was

blowing. Ben and Ryley had fun putting their heads

over the hole to see what would happen. First we did

water, then Ben's hat and then Ryley's head.



This was one of the ruins on the way out of the park.

This was the room at the top of the ruin.

Walking bridge at beginning of Sunset Crater Trail.

Ice caves. You could feel the cold air and there

were noises from below and Grandpa told them

they had it blocked off to keep the Dragons inside.

What a great group of hikers!!
It is not a visit to Grandpa's house if you can't roast marshmellows...

Now that's what we call a roaring fire.
