Hair Cuts

Everyone got hair cuts today, even Eva got a very small trim. It was her first cut. What a handsome bunch.

Eli's 100th day of School

For Eli's 100th day of school all the kids had to make a hat with 100 things on it. Eli made a pirate hat with pennies, brads, skull stickers and gold buttons. The school put on a parade for us to see all the fun hats.

Visit from Grandma and Grandpa Brown

Grandma and Grandpa Brown came to visit. We had a great time. We took them to the Petroglyph national monument, downtown Albuquerque and Santa Fe.

Down town Albuquerque, Grampie came too.

Santa Fe

This is the oldest house in the United States and we got to go inside.

Oldest church in the United States, right by the oldest house.

We rode the train to Santa fe, great times, good memories, thank you Grandma and Grandpa Brown!

The Trade

Eva's cousin Eliza traded her pacifier for this little owl. So Eva wanted to do the same thing and we fully supported that! Here she is with her new owl.
No more Paci, yeah!

Visit from Great Grandma Perry

Four generation shot with Telia and Emiline, Grandma and Mom.

Sweet Great Grandma Perry came to visit. We took her to lots of parks with us. The kids loved having her here and never ran out of things to say to her. They talked her little ear off. Telia and kids came to visit too. It was so fun to have her here. The kids loved her!

Children's Museum

We took the kids to the Childrens Museum with Grammie and Grampie. I think the adults had just as much fun as the kids! It was a great way to spend the afternoon. Our kids are getting so spoiled with one on one attention. We are so blessed! Thanks Grammie and Grampie!

Legos

My kids love Legos and they will play them all day. Their favorite thing right now is to take a picture of what they are making or to take a step by step picture of what they are creating.

Sandia Peak

Great way to start the New Year, on Sandia Peak, hiking and playing in the snow with wonderful family. It was a perfect day, thanks Grampie for the wonderful idea!

Merry Christmas!

On Christmas Eve we had a quiet evening with my dad and our family. We sang carols, read the Christmas story and acted it out with hand puppets, and we opened our one gift, new Christmas pj's. The kids were so excited they could hardly go to sleep.

Christmas morning we opened presents, ate cinnamon rolls and went to church. Later Telia and Ben came down and we were able to spend some time with them.

The kids loved being able to finally devour their ginger bread houses.
Merry Christmas Everyone!

Christmas is around the corner!

It has been so fun having Eli off from school for Christmas break! It is not much of a break because most of our time is spent moving in to a bigger home with my Parents. We try to get out though, here is the nativity at the Temple, one of our outings in preparation for Christmas.

Snow Day

Today was our first snow day. Eli and Art walked to school in the snow and no one was there. So we spent some time outside building snowmen and came in to some yummy hot chocolate.

Happy Anniversary!

Today marks 7 years of marriage, wow,it has seriously flown by and we can't believe we are 7 years older. I guess time flies when you are having fun. Art surprised me and took me to Tacanos for dinner and then to an improv comedy club called the Box, down town Albuquerque. I was a little worried because comedy sometimes is not so clean, but this was a great place, very smart, funny and very clean! Thank you Art.

Happy Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving with Telia and Ben in Zuni. I don't have any pictures of the actual dinner but imagine a ton of yummy food and hundreds of pies. After the yummy dinner we went to get our Christmas Tree Zuni style. With a local we drove out, found a tree and cut it down. So awesome. Thanks Telia and Ben for the wonderful weekend, all the yummy food, and our beautiful Tree!
