Dunk Tank

Rob volunteered to sit in the dunk tank for the end of the year school carnival. Then for the last week he's been talking "smack" about how no-one would be able to dunk him. =0) haha... well, he hit the water quite a few times actually. Though it was funny to see how many times a few kids tried. haha...

Saying Good-bye

We started saying our goodbyes to folks here in the Colorado Springs area. It's been a great year for us as couple, we have learned to grow together, love each other, and start a family. We had a barbecue/horse ride/mini-shower/mini going-away party at the Davis ranch with the OTC/AIA Wrestling families and friends. We have another party at Bible Study tonight. Saying good-bye is getting easier, but as Tifani says "There is no goodbyes on the mission field, only see ya later". We have been thankful for the Thursday night bible studys at the OTC and all the people there, and our young marrieds group on mondays. More pics to come!

Baby Shower and May Flowers

Some of the gals in our Bible study group blessed me with a Baby shower this weekend! It was a great time of fellowship! Each lady wrote a prayer/verse of blessing for our little man. It was very meaningful and such a special time for me! I was honored to have 2 of the Spaulding girls there too (family from Faith Academy)!



Also this weekend, we finally had sunshine and warmth! So Rob and I decided to have a picnic dinner at Garden of the Gods! It was beautiful. I love seeing the flowers and other signs of Spring's arrival! We will sure miss this place.

OHIO

We got to take a whirlwind trip (flights canceled, delayed, ugh) to Ohio to check out Athletes In Action Headquarters and Ohio State University. Most the pictures are of Ohio State, the headquarters are nice but not really blog worthy at this point. More to come on the trip in the next few weeks......

Last Day of the Trip

Well its been awhile we have had kind of crazy month and a half so we are updating the blog a little late. Our last days on our trip were enjoyable, even though Tifani was really sick. We really enjoyed our time together and seeing the beauty of the Southwest, although I will have to conquer the Grand Canyon later, but I will have the little man to conquer it with! Included some of the pictures of the last few days....

Day 8 Roadtrip SW

Las Vegas, NV to Flagstaff, AZ
Distance: 260 miles Time: 5 hours

We left Vegas this morning and headed to Flagstaff, along the famous Route 66. Changed plans a little as Tif wasn't feeling good, so we will see the Grand Canyon tomorrow. We have had a great time but are getting ready to be back home again. The southwest is really cool, we didn't know that our route actually has a name the Grand Circle. only a few more days so we are excited to see one of Americas greatest natural wonders, stay in a nice notel in New Mexico and then head home!

Day 7 Roadtrip SW

St. George, Utah to Las Vegas, Nevada
Distance: 115 Miles Time: 2 Hours

We packed up the car, headed out after a quick Starbucks stop, and were off to Vegas. The drive was nice, unexpectedly traveled through part of Arizona (didn't get lost just didn't know we cut through the northwest corner of AZ), saw an off road race in the desert off of I-15, and entered Nevada and then Las Vegas. Overall neither of us are Vegas types, but we did really enjoy laying by the pool, reading, watching a movie (Mrs. Congeniality), and then driving the strip to see the lights, and dinner at Macaroni Grill.
