Utah- Arches National Park and Rhino riding

This is delicate arch from a distance.  It was too hot to hike to it and we still had too far to drive.
We packed all the kids in the Rhino and went out for the day.  Alydia fell asleep once but still had fun.
Alana was so excited this butterfly landed on her finger.
Brett was the lead Rhino and navigator we had a blast exploring the trails!
I was afraid the kids were going to fall over the edge.
We rode the Rhino's to a beautiful overlook.

Telluride Colorado

We parked at the bottom of this beautiful waterfall and had a picnic.

3rd Day in Colorado

We went to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park
Alana was a good photographer. She was afraid of heights and didn't want to look down into the canyon.

Alana enjoyed finding many different kinds of wildflowers.



The kids favorite part of the day was swimming at the natural hotsprings pool in Ouray. The water was really warm like a warm bath. It was nice and shallow in most areas so the kids could all walk around the pool.
Just another day in Paradise! The weather was beautiful! Why do I live in Arizona?

Colorado Day 2

This is the view from the street where we stayed in Ouray.



Silverton

The kids love to throw rocks into the water.


Colorado is beautiful and pictures don't do it justice! We are in love with the huge mountains and the green everywhere! We took a beautiful drive from Durango to Silverton and stopped in Silverton for some treats and throwing rocks in the river. It's a beautiful little town in the mountains.

Then we drove the million dollar highway to Ouray Colorado otherwise known as the Switzerland of America. We stayed in a nice cabin just outside the town.

Colorado Trip Day 1


We took a family vacation to Colorado to escape the heat! On the drive there along the Indian reservation was a place that had dinosoar footprints. We needed a break from driving anyways so we walked around and looked at all the footprints in the rocks. It looked pretty cool but not sure if they are for real. We also passed by Monument Valley but it was getting dark. We stopped for the night in Cortez Colorado and stayed in a Holiday Inn Family Suite it had 4 bunk beds and was pretty fun. It was probably about a 7 hour drive.


Look at these Dinosoar Footprints!

Our Newest Addition Anden Mark Buyack

Our little bundle of joy was born on June 8 at 12:28pm he weighed 8lbs 7.5 oz and 20" long. He was born at the Gilbert Mercy Hospital just 13 minutes after arrival!
Brett was a great support during the intense delivery....all natural! I was relieved it didn't last too long! Labor started around 10am but started getting intense around 11 and we had to get everything arranged and rushed to the hospital!

What a little miracle! I was so excited to meet our new little boy. He sure had a lot of dark hair more than my little girl Alydia! I'm now relaxing and enjoying a little one on one time with my little boy.

Grandma Hunsaker was very excited to meet him and has been very helpful with the other kids while I went to the hospital. It's great to have another wonderful mother nearby!

I'm so grateful to have Brett to help me in raising this little boy he is such a great Daddy!

Anden Mark Buyack....his first name was suggested by his sister Adalynn and we all liked it. His middle name is after his Grandpa Hunsaker who is a great example and support to us.

Adalynn and Allden were very excited to come to the hospital and see their new baby brother. They had to inspect every little part of him and asked lots of questions. Allden is excited to have another boy in the family.

Cabin Trip

We took a little weekend getaway and headed north to our cabin in Duck Creek Utah to escape the heat and spend some time together as a family. I hoped I wouldn't have the baby early in Utah.
We found a fun park and enjoyed a picnic lunch and took some fun pictures. The kids had fun playing with their cousins Patsy and Monroe. We also were there with Grandma and Grandpa Hunsaker and Grandma Pratt.

I was kicked back relaxing and all the kids jumped on me.

Alydia had fun picking flowers. She is 19 months old now and so much fun. She talks a lot!

This is the little stream that runs by our cabin. The kids enjoyed throwing rocks in.

This is the bridge over the river in the meadow by our cabin. We enjoyed the nice cool air as compared to home and I enjoyed relaxing with the family.
