Texas-Colorado

We made the rounds when we went to the lower 48. First we went to Houston to see Chris and Heater (and baby!). We spent a few days with them and Shelley drove up from San Antonio to spend a few days with us as well. It was fun to catch up with them since they weren't going to be going to Colorado for the family reunion.

We then went to Muleshoe for a night. While there we celebrated Mina and Cori's birthdays.

Ahhhhh, LOVE this sweet little girl

We had such a great trip. It was so good to see some extended family and get to spend some quality with with all of them!

Denali and more with the Butlers

In the 3.5 years we have lived here, Matt and I had not ever gone North to see Denali (Mt. McKinley). Our friends Stetson and Katy came to visit us again from California. So, we went North with them!

You can barely see the sheep in the picture...but he's there :)

Below is the first view we had a Mt. McKinley, from the highway as we were driving towards Denali National Park.

The sheep again.

We didn't see any moose while we were on our tour through the park...but then we saw this guy as we arrived back at the visitors center.

Uncle Stetson getting a little Piper time :)

Jasper loved Stetson and Katy

Hiking Mt. Baldy

The usual jumping pictures :)

We finally got one with all of us off the ground...even Jasper! (Sarah's feet are off the ground if you look close...impressive since she is holding Piper!)

We had a great visit with them! One of these days we'll have to go see them in California :)
