Halloween 2011

I was lucky enough to take a trip to visit Jesus and Doug back east and I had a BLAST! Not only did I get to attend the most phenomenal Halloween party of all time but I visited the Mutter Museum and a ghostly penitentiary in Philadelphia AND I got to see a musical in NYC.  While I was gone, Sebastian had his first Harvest Festival at his school and Aunt Cheryl visited Robert and the kids.  I got home just in time for Halloween and took the kids out trick-or-treating with their buddies Gage and Victoria!

Angel Face

Pepperoni Pizza + Live Music = Good Times

Robert spent another week away on business so the kids and I spent part of the time with family down in Cruces.  As usual, the kids had a great time with tios and tias and cousins!  They got all sorts of special gifts from Tia Hilda and their Nina that they brought back for them from their European trip.   Their Nina (thank goodness!) drove back up with us to Albuquerque and spent the remainder of the week with us.  When Robert finally got back,  we took the kids to the pumpkin patch and spent most of the day there.  We came back dusty and exhausted, but it was worth it!  Now we're ready for Halloween!  Hurry it up Aunt Cheryl!  We're ready for some Halloween fun!

My Girl

You can barely hear Mia singing in this video but she's turning into a real chanteuse!  Right now her favorites are the A, B, Cs and the Micky Mouse song.  She also likes to recite some of her favorite nursery rhymes like Humpty Dumpty and Baa Baa Blacksheep.  Did I mention she's also counting?  Not bad for a 20 month old.  Her big brother is a great teacher! Yeah, I'm the mom, I get to brag a little bit  :o)

Up, Up and Away!

We had a great time this weekend, on Saturday we went to the Balloon Fiesta then on Sunday we went to the airforce base airshow! The kids were mesmerized by the balloons. At the airshow, the boys really liked getting up close to all the aircraft and watching (and hearing) the B1 bomber fly by.  What a great weekend, now Robert's off on some more traveling. 

Rainy Day

The kids had a ball splashing around in the rain.  Mia kept yelling at us to watch her and Sebastian, well, Sebastian can't pass up jumping in any puddle especially one this size.
