Grandpa and Grandma time!

The house seems kind of quiet after two weeks of grandparents visiting. Mike's parents just flew home yesterday. Dane really enjoyed his time with them!!

The shirt says it all- "My Heart Belongs to Grandpa!"

Grandma and Dane play with his fun new alphabet school bus!

Fun on the slide!

Future veterinarian??

We can't wait to see both sets of grandparents again in a month when we head home to the cold!! It will be our first visit home during the winter since we've lived in Nevada.

Arizona

While Mike's parents were here, we took a quick trip to Arizona to visit some of their family. Along the way, we stopped in Tucson to visit our friends Bill and Sara. They used to live very nearby, and we miss them lots!

Dane and his cousin Christopher became fast friends, mostly because Christopher shared his tractor with Dane and even gave him rides.

Three buddies on the ranch.

Dane's first horse ride from cousin Carrie.

Grandpa's turn.

Even Grandma took a ride!

Grampy and Grammy came to visit!

Grampy and Grammy Stockwell left today after a wonderful visit over the last few days. On Saturday, we took advantage of the beautiful weather by heading to Mount Charleston. We hiked to Mary Jane Falls. Dane was a real trooper!

After a few hours on the trail, Dane finally zonked out!

We got to meet Hilary and Jan Michael in person! We have been "acquaintances" through the blogging world, but it was so much better to spend time together. Thanks for visiting!!

Dane has been requesting "Uncle Benny" a lot lately.

I think he really likes his music!

Story time with Grampy.

I'm sure that Grampy and Grammy will have a bunch of their pictures on their blog shortly! (They took just a few!) Sadly, we had to take them back to the airport today and say good-bye. Lucky for us, Grandpa and Grandma Anderson just flew in this evening and will be here for a little over a week!
