The Big Florida Vacation!!!

From Disney World 2009

From Disney World 2009

Every year we look forward to our annual "vacation" to FL. Usually this involved a little time at Disney World & then about a week at Teen Missions. This year because of the amazing deals to Disney World right now, we were able to spend a week at the amazing Animal Kingdom lodge for what we normally spend at the Pop Century Resort for 5 days. It was great. We were able to see the animals around the hotel & relax around the pool (although it was a little cool a couple of days...28 degrees at night one night). This year we chose to bring Amanda V., a youth from our church in Mariposa, along with us to help out with the kids, it was wonderful!!!

Road Trips!!!

Well it's been way too long since I added some pictures to this blog, so excuse the fact that these are a little outdated :-) Abby is growing up way too fast & sometimes it seems hard to cherish those little moments. We have lead a VERY busy winter, but it's been great. I was able to spend most of the month of January in Portland doing promotions for Teen Missions & allowing Micah to go to preschool. In the midst of that Abby & I took a "little" plane ride out to Denver to visit Ryan who was out there for his annual PE conference (for work). We were able to do TMI presentations at three different churches, one in Gillette, WY & the other in Thornton, Co and we made an appearence at our old church in Lakewood, Co. It was sooooo nice to spend time with old friends and remember how much we LOVE Colorado.

Here are some pictures from the month of January:
