Busy month

We have had a lot going on this month.  As I mentioned before, Aaron's sister got married and his family was in town for the event.  Almost all his family was able to attend.  We were only missing one sister whom we missed having with us.  It was a great time catching up with each others lives.

The following week, Aaron's brother Chuck, stayed with us for a week.  He is getting ready to go on an LDS mission to Brazil.  Chuck was 5 when we got married and I used to babysit him.  We had a great time reminiscing about the past and having some time to get to know him a little better. 

The next week we finally made a trip to Colorado to visit our good friends the Milams.  We had made a promise in the spring to visit and just got to busy.  Sonya is an amazing friend to me.  She really took care of me when I was pregnant with Eva by stopping by my house with her big van and telling the kids to hop in and come play at her house so I could rest.  She would bring me meals and invite my family over to eat so I wouldn't have to cook.  She called me nearly everyday to see how I was and to have a nice chat.  She has 7 beautiful children and is one of the most giving people I know.  Sadly we did not get a picture with them while we were there, but hope to when they come to visit in April.

To my surprise, my other dear friend Emma Goltz Dean lives in the same little town that the Milams live in.  I hadn't seen her in 10 years!  We got to spend some time together at a local park catching up and letting our kids play.  She has a miracle baby and is a wonderful mom to her sweet daughter Maggie.  I sure miss Emma's friendship and having her close by.


Tina and Emma.  She looks great!!  I, on the other hand, am starting to look a little wrinkly.  Maybe I should start wearing make up again...


Eva with Maggie Ann.  She just a little older than Eva.


My 5 with Maggie Ann.  Some of them are a little hard to see.


Robyn got a little creative with the berries from a near by bush.  She used the berries to create lips on this turtle.  Then she did this:


Wow!


Do you see her leafs in the wood?
