"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty. You might say, I am not the creative type. If that is how you feel, think again. Creation is your opportunity in this life….. Start small. Creativity does not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Don’t let the voice of critics paralyze you. You will make the World a better place. Improve, beautify, extend, smile, cultivate, develop, create."
~President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

New Mexico Vacation

I never posted pictures of the family vacation we took to Ruidoso, New Mexico in July. Here's a few...

Nathan rockin' out the Swordplay game on the Wii. He's really quite good.

Swimming




White Sands National Park
It was SO hot.

Examining the hill we were going to sled down.
Corey and Nathan
Can you see the sweaty sand all over him?
He still loved it though.
My parents.
Looking back on the hill we sled down.

Old Apple Barn 


The mock Build a Bear Nathan made.


The Quarter Horse Races. This was cool.

Looks like you had a great time. Did you sled down sand, that's neat-o. AND a horse race- how much money did you win:) I'm off now to go pick up my Bountiful Basket:)
