These are a few of my favorite things....

We had the exciting adventure of having my sister, Amanda and her kids, visit for several weeks in March and April.

We got to have snow buddies with our cousins!

We got to have fun with Easter!

We had a great day at the Denver Zoo!

Learning about animal life on the savannah!

Measuring up to a polar bear.... yikes!

Getting to touch a giant boa constrictor... double yikes!

On another day, we drove down to Colorado Springs and played hard at the Focus on the Family Visitor Center and then we drove through the Garden of the Gods!

 We had a short time out exploring the area but as it started to snow and was very cold all of a sudden we ran back to the car to take cover and get warm!!!!

Rudy being super cool! 

We had so many adventures together and during that time we were reminded again of the goodness of our God. The Lord brought us through sickness and the many challenges that having four kids together will bring... but what we remember is the relationships growing between siblings and cousins - the hugs, kisses and precious memories being made! These are a few of my favorite things.... a few of my favorite people and a few of my favorite memories!
