Newbie...

I am totally new to the blogging world and I've secretly been wanting to start one for the longest time but just haven't gotten around to it.  I love looking at peoples' blogs and reading their awesome stories and looking at beautiful pictures that go along with those stories.  Hey, I figure I'll try it out!  Here it goes...



Yesterday, which happened to be Presidents day, we decided to take a little family four wheeling trip up the Florida Mountains here in Deming, NM.  Justin mentioned that there was a neat old abandoned cabin that we could four wheel up to and check out. Tyler and Johnathan, Justin's two awesome younger brothers, came along with us.  We packed everything up early in the morning and took off to make sure we had plenty of time to roam around.  The only problem when we got there was that is was a little more chilly and windy than we had anticipated.  The roads also ended up being a little too rocky and crazy for me to maneuver the four wheeler, while at the same time holding little Dylan. He seemed a little nervous on the ride up (not to mention I was super tense and nervous myself worrying he could get hurt!) so we didn't go too long before turning back but we still had a great time!

Luckily we came across an old abandoned little stone house that we were able to walk around and take pictures in before we ended our trip.  There was an awesome fire pit on the inside of the house and I thought it would be awesome to come back sometime to build a fire, roast marshmallows, and tell stories; or at least something along those lines.

Later on that night we had an awesome cook out at Aunt Molli's place out next to the basketball court.  I always love their family gatherings and how much they enjoy to spend time together.  It makes me think of my family back in Utah and all of the fun family get togethers we would have.  I miss that... I'm so grateful to have inherited such a wonderful family out here who always help me to feel so much at home while I've been far away from my own family.  They are amazing!
