Carving pumpkins and skype'n with my sister and family

When we lived in Ohio we always got together with my sister and her family to carve pumpkins at Halloween. Since we live in NM it's a little harder to get together but though Skype we found a way.

Happy 10th Birthday Alex

Alex turned 10 on October 8. We had a family party on his birthday and then he had a couple of friends go swimming and out to pizza with him.

Welcome baby Ava

On October 1st our sweet little niece was born. We can't wait to meet her later this month.

Santa B

Brie and Christopher got into some of my keepsake baby clothes. Christopher helped Brie into this little outfit. The last time that Brie wore this she was 2 weeks old.

Christopher the Circus act

Christopher is my little climber/ monkey man. His latest thing is that he tries to do hand/head stands all of the time. I can't help but to smile and be amazed at this little guy whom we were told may never sit up or be able to walk on his own.He is an amazing little dude with a very strong will and strong very arms.

Las Vegas NM

o

Mom and I were headed to Santa Fe one day and we passed our exits. We were too busy talking and by the time we realized it we were not far from Las Vegas, which is a really cool old town. I has happy to take Mom there, I love that place. There is a really cool old hotel that use to be a Harvey House and hotel. A lot of it looks like it has not been remodeled in about 100 years. Plus we found a really cool bakery/cafe were we had lunch.

The Mormon Battalion monument

On our way to Santa Fe we always pass this sign that says says Mormon Battalion Monument. So Of course Mom and I had to check it out. It was right off the side of the road. We have passed it many times but never knew that it was right there. Pretty cool to know that they passed through here.
