After Roswell... I believe!!!

Being a skeptic all my life about aliens I had to do some 'hard' research and visit Roswell. They had a museum we went to. After reading that 60% of people that lived in Roswell believed in aliens it sealed the deal... We all left believers!

There is so much white sand! It's amazing!

After White sands we hit the pool to cool off!!!

Hair cut!

I cut my hair and now have "Russian bangs" Last summer all the girls in Russia had bangs like these and Jessica and I were laughing about them. In March Jessica cut some and I of course had to as well (Jessica is my fashion consultant) Conrad said it looks like I got a Russian haircut and then warned Hailey his fiance that she was not allowed to get one!

Here are some shots I took in the car after.

Splish Splash!!!

We decided to take a day off from the pool and hit a water park nearby! The kids had a blast and I got a break from being the 'sea monster!!'

While Heather was here she planned a trip for us to Seven Falls. It was quite a hike (I nearly had a heart attack on the way up several times) but it was BEAUTIFUL!! We had so much fun and we were so glad we went! I highly recommend it to all of you Coloradans!!!
