Bump Watch

23 1/2 weeks. I finally remembered to get Chad to take a shot of the growing bump. Keston and Chad have both been able to feel the baby move this last week, so exciting!

Beer!

Chad just started home brewing a couple weeks ago and yesterday the first batch was ready. It was beer! Such an awesome new hobby. It is so scientific and creative, a great fit for Chad. The process is so interesting with all the changes and different smells. I am sure this is just the beginning of a life time of home brews. Yay Beer!

Monster Truck Show

Rio Rancho had a Monster Truck Show that Keston and I went to. I learned two things from going there 1. My baby was safe even though it was so loud I thought he was going to go deaf in utero because he couldn't put in earplugs and 2. Chad was right about it not really being about Monster Trucks, seriously only like 10 minutes of the 90 we were there was Trucks, the rest of the time it was quad and motorcycles. Kes loved it though, so it was really fun despite the noise and cycles.

The trucks.

Go Big Foot Go!

Bad shot, but the only one we got with ourselves in it.

Spring Break Visit

Dani, Mia, Vander and Gina came to our house for Spring Break. We had such a BLAST! We went to the Aquarium, the Botanical Gardens, The Dinosaur Live Show, we picniced at the park, played in the snow, had a lot of laughs and really got to spend some good quality time together. It was a really good visit. Here is a slide show of all the fun.

St Patty's Day

St Patty's Day, which the boys refer to as Leprechaun's Day, was fun, as always. The boys made a trap in the morning. Keston had the idea to make Monster Trucks on the sides of the trap with a sign that said, "Free Monster Truck Rides", that way the Leprechaun, who loves monster trucks, would try to get a ride and would get trapped.

Well, the Leprechaun fell for the trick, but must have found a way to escape, since all that was in the trap was his gold and treasures.

Checking out the loot.

Yay for green treasures!

Holidays are fun, even simple ones.

The Weenie Mobile

We went grocery shopping the other day and the Weenie Mobile was in the parking lot. We got free weenie whistles and got to go inside it. Awesome!

Fun with the Pfeifers

Our friends, the Pfeifers, came down from Pueblo, CO for the weekend. We had a lot of fun with them, as usual! We are so glad they were able to come and spend some time playing.

Calon fell asleep on our way to the aquarium.

Keston did not.

All sorts of reactions to the aquarium.

Don't remember the real name of this fish, but I think Pinocchio works.

Very large Puffer fish staring a little girl down.

Hard to get 5 kids to look and smile at the camera at the same time, this shot had the best outcome.

This was a man made cave thing, though Keston swears it is a T-Rex's throat.

Lacee was brave to touch a scorpion, a hissing cockroach and a tarantula.
