 Happy Birthday to Emily! We love her!
Thanks to Mom for making Emily's favorite desert, Dirty Dessert!

Ariane and Kurtis' New Home In LAs Cruces

 Their new home is nestled in the pine trees. It reminds me of West Yellowstone!
 It has a nice large U-shaped driveway.

 Nice backyard with green grass and trees
 Fun times swimming in the pool! 
 More trees behind their fenced backyard

 Three cute little girls!
 Nice family photo! 
 Maggie walking by one of the fields planted with chili peppers!
 There are many farmers fields. It is really green in Las Cruces, a lot different than El Paso. 
Say goodbye to New Mexico!
Say hello to New Mexico!
The organ mountain range in the background, very scenic!

Raptors in the Hollow

We have had fun watching these baby Cooper Hawks (mom thinks they may be prairie hawks) grow to full size as we walk each morning in the Payson Hollow. There are three fledglings that have grown to full size yet still have juvenile markings on their feathers.





There are also a variety of other birds that migrate through the Hollow and spend a few days to a couple of weeks before moving on their migration.

 Three generations of wonderful women!
