Trip to Dixon, NM

We went with our friends, the Bridgmans, to Dixon, NM for a weekend trip. We stayed at a place called Rock Pool Gardens, which after first getting there seemed a bit shady. But it turned out to be a GREAT place and we had so much fun! The place had an indoor heated pool that we frequented often and an outdoor spa, it had a winery right across the street and lots of room for the kids to play and adventure outside. It was a REALLY awesome time, so good in fact that we almost totally forgot to take pictures. Here are some of the few we did remember to snap.

We also drove to Taos Ski Valley, about an hour away, to go snow tubing.
This is Keston, Mikah and Hannah going down.
Keston loved tubing and was much braver than we expected, he even went solo and let the tube coach spin him going down.
Calon went with me a few times and really liked it too, for most of the time :)

The big boys made it up!

6 month Tree Pictures

We have taken a picture of all the kids around 6 months in large split trees. Don't know exactly why, but it has become a tradition on Ange's side of the family to do with all the kids. Probably because 6 months is such a cute age and large trees are amazing :)!

Calon is 3!!!

Calon is 3!!! He is getting to be such a big boy, it is amazing! He is so funny and quirky and so compassionate. He couldn't choose one theme for his Birthday so he had an ElmoTransformerSpidermanThomasToyStory Birthday! Grammy, Dani and her kids came down to help celebrate and Papa made a surprise overnight visit too! We went to Chuck E. Cheese for a little party with a couple friends and had a fun time, with the place all to ourselves. It was a great time and Calon is a GREAT kid!

The Invitation: We had to postpone the Zoo trip due to really cold weather.

More Christmases!

We had a fun, though busy, tour de Arizona- after Christmas trip. We got to spend good time with everyone and the boys loved having 3 extra Christmases.

Family Photos

A while ago I won a free photo session from a raffle. We finally had the opportunity to take advantage of it and got some pretty neat shots....
