Ford Family Pictures

We haven't had a family picture in FOREVER!! So, this year it was the first time in a very long time that the entire family was all together. So, of course we had to capture it on film! After many reschedules due to family arrivals and departures, the day finally came. We woke up to SNOW! Not only snow on the ground, but it was a full on blizzard outside. So, we changed venues a couple of times, but finally the snow cleared out (you have to love Albuquerque weather!) and we were able to get our pictures done in Old Town. Erin Schmutz did such a beautiful job. This is such a SMALL sample of what she did, but we love them!

Not gonna make it...

Headache is setting in. Crap.

So Long...

So...the time has come. I am kicking the habit of my beloved Diet Coke. You have gotten me though many long nights and MANY long days...but I fear you are not very good for me. So, here I am publically kicking my habit for 1 week. I figure...if I can get through one week, maybe I can get through 2 or 3 or 4. We will see. I will update you on my progress. So...here is to headaches to come and hopefully a better feeling me!

Meet Max...

This is MAX!!! Richie completely surprised me with MAX for Christmas!! I have been asking for a new (smaller) dog since we had to find our girls a new home, because our yard is just too small. I thought I had lost the battle (but not the war) and I thought my dreams of being a mommie to a puppy was really far off! When we drove into Albuquerque, at 2 am, Rich brought him out to me! Everyone was in on it!! I was sooo surprised, which does not happen very often to me! I am so thrilled. He is sooo good with Jaxon and is finding Corona to be a happy place. We are so happy he is ours!

Christmas 2009

We spent the entire Christmas week in Albuquerque!! My WHOLE family came in to town and it was soooo much fun! Take 10 adults, 3 preschoolers, 3 dogs and only 2 bathrooms and what do you get?? Tons of fun! It was such a great holiday and it was so hard to come home. Not to mention that we got to spend so much time with the Rich's too! We feel so blessed to be able to see everyone as much as we have. There is nothing like Albuquerque at Christmas...I think I will always miss it. The house ready for Santa!
The snowman my niece and nephew made in the backyard. Grandma Lavella gave Jaxon a 188 piece toy...it took 4 adults to put it all together! Grandma Shelley reading the kiddos a bed time story.

Grandpa Dad...ready for Santa.

Under Construction...

Okay...new year...so I need to revamp the blog. Will soon be updated!! Stay tuned!
