New Mexico trip 8/2009

Olivia, Brayden and Brigette all came with me to visit our mutual friend Cindy Hamson in Farmington, New Mexico. It was so great to see her and her family again as it had been almost 4 years since we were last there. Cindy is truly an amazing friend and i am so glad to have her in my life. She has been a God send to me and my family so many times.
Cindy's oldest daughter Jenny was there with her 6 kids along with her youngest daughter Casey playing nanny helping Jenny with her kids.
Jenny's kid's are so sweet and cute. they were supprised that i knew them. it really surpised them when i told them i knew their mother when she was only 6 years old.
Brayden had 6 new playmates to play with and ended up with an "older woman" by his side the entire time
Jenny's youngest daughter Chloe is 2 1/2 yrs old and Brayden was totally "smitten". Chloe would say, "Brayden, I need you" and he would come running. they even shared fried potatoes together.
Brayden's had ketchup on his and Chloe's were plan.
I called them "Bonnie and Clyde" since what one didn't think of the other would.
Brayden taught Chloe how to open doors and Chloe showed Brayden how to transplant toys from the family room to the bedroom in her playpen crib.

it was so nice to be in cooler weather and go and see the Indian ruins. We went swimming and canned all day Wednesday, fresh peaches, chichen and stews.

we had a miracle happen and is still happening. Olivia had a jar of beef stew blow up in her face from a pressure cooker and today makes it 4 days since and her injuries are healing at an accelerated rate.. it seems for every day that passes, it is like a week of healing.

Between the Priesthood blessing and the quick work Cindy, Doug and Brigette did for my daughter this has been a true miracle!!

for the last full day in New Mexico, we all went to Silverton, colorado and to the candy town up there. i love visiting with Cindy.. she is like Snow White whistling while she works. She makes everything seem so carefree and easy. I can Picture Heavenly Mother being like her. always happy, carefree and very spiritual. a very good example of how to be. I am truly blessed.. Good night from Arizona..













then i heard about my neice's husband Eddie and he is a miracle.. Heavenly Father is really blessing our families..
well, i have one
