To move or not to move...

Oh my heck...I havn't posted in forever! So let me catch you up. The fam went up to Provo to move my sister Jackie and her husband Evan into "the dorms", just kidding Jackie, her apartment. Well after moving everything to the THIRD floor, the promply decided that they didn't want to move to Provo, so we packed them back down and loaded them up and brought them home. I must say, I was thrilled. I definitly did not want to say goodbye. But we had a great time in Salt Lake, and also at our cabin for a couple of days. What fun!

Snow in the 505!!!

We had our first snowfall of the season yesterday!! So of course that meant a snow day for mom, and tons of snowball fights for Jaxon and Daddy. He looked so cute all dressed up in his snow gear. The best part about it...it was gone by noon. I love Albuquerque.

Don't be a deer!!!

So...this was taken about a month ago, but it is too funny, I had to share. Rich and Jaxon play "tigers" and Jax loves it. Well, Rich loves to tease him about it, because he gets so fired up. Rich will say that he is any animal, BUT a tiger, and Jaxon loses it. So funny...

I want to be a dinosaur...no I want to be Woody...No I want to be....

In August Jaxon decided that he wanted to be a dinosaur for Halloween. So Grandma Shelley got a pattern and fabric for our cute little dinosaur. Well about a week before Halloween, we got invited to our cousin's birthday party, and the dinosaur was not quite ready. So our friend Mendie (thanks Mendie!) graciously lent us her adorable Woody costume. Well, he fought me at first, but eventually wore the costume and fell in love with it. From that day, he could not make up his mind on what he wanted to be, so he got to be both! He went trick-or-treating as a dinosaur..came home, changed his clothes, and went out again. He was so fun! Although he hates costumes and trick-or-treating, I think the night was a success!

Pumpkins...anyone???

We headed east to the McCall's Pumpkin Patch with the Gatewood's a couple of weekends ago. The kids got to play their little hearts out, and pick a pumpkin at the enormous field of pumpkins. Everyone had a great time. We are so glad we got to spend the day with our friends outside for a beautiful fall day.

Up, Up, and Away!!

Today was the first day of the Balloon Fiesta, and we couldn't have picked a more perfect day to be there! It was so warm and sunny! Jaxon walked through the gates and yelled "Oh MY GOSH!!!" It was so cute. He wanted to be right in the mix. I must admit that I loved it, too! We go every year, and I still get so excited when they all start to inflate and take off. It is so beautiful to see them in the sky in the morning. That is my favorite thing about this city. I am so glad Jaxon loved it as much as his mom did.

It's Apple Time!

Yesterday we went to Dixon's Apple Farm! We thought we were getting a head's start, but it turns out that getting there at 9:00am was a bit late. We were in line for an hour to get a parking spot, then another 20 minutes to get in the apple building. But, it was totally worth it! We were able to get some delicious apples ,which I made into my first apple pie today! It wasn't pretty, but it was yummy. We had a great day. Jaxon ran around the apple orchards, while I tried endlessly to snap pictures of him. He was not coorperative...but I did get a few. Ready or not fall is here! I am so excited!
