I'm finally going to catch up on my posting. It has been a very crazy/busy couple of months and we have made some wonderful memories.
 |
| July 5th we drove to Rama, NM (where Brandon's aunt and uncle, Paul & Jannet Merrill live). It was a great first day. We got a very early start and made it there around 9 pm after 14 hours on the road. |
 |
| Here are the girls in bed at Paul & Jannet's |
 |
| This is Jeanette's car that she let us borrow for the trip (since the van isn't always running great) and we had it packed up pretty good. This is a picture minus Brandon's bike on the back. |
 |
| Valerie's first time in Colorado...took a picture as we drove through and let someone use the potty. |
 |
| We stopped for a while in Moab, Utah and the kids went for a climb with their dad. Valerie and I watched. They had so much fun! |
 |
| Mady, Sarah and Kaden on the rocks. |

 |
| Our first visit was to Great-Grandma Daisy. We love her and miss her so much! |

 |
| We were so lucky to make it up in time for cousin Ally's baptism! Here are all the Cook grandkids afterwards. |
 |
| Here is the whole Cook family...so great to all be together! |

(Sarah was so happy to be at Ally's baptism...right after it was all over she was the first one over to Ally and gave her a great big hug. It was so so sweet.) |

| Chris & Karlie, Ally, Kaleb, & baby Kache |

| Sarah & Valerie at the restaurant after the baptism |
 |
| Kaleb & Kaden were so happy to have some boy time. They even sat at their own table most of the time. |
 |
| We saw so many wild animals on this trip. Here a few of the deer out of the 15 we saw up Sardine Canyon. |

| baby Kache (3 1/2 months)...such a sweetie pie~ |
