Boo To You

Happy Halloween!!! We had our celebrations yesterday at the Ward Halloween Party.


Parker didn't want to keep the elephants head on his head.

Spencer wanted to be Darth Vader again this year. Makes for an easy year this year!

And Carly was Snow White.

School is Cool

Spencer had an assignment to write a report about someone. This is his report:

My Dad

My dad is my best buddy because he takes me out to get ice cream and bike rides. We like to watch basketball. It is really fun. He helps with my homework and he works hard for lots of money for our house. My dad is 6 foot 3 inches tall. He is also very crazy because he said, "I have a bald eagle beak." I love my dad and he loves me too.

The End

Balloon Fiesta 2010

Kyle's parents came down to visit us and we also got to go to Balloon Fiesta one last time. It was fun as usual and no matter how many times I see it, I get excited about it. So Fun!

Spencer trying out his camera skills.

Carly had to try out her camera skills as well.

His favorite balloon.

Waking up to leave by 5:15 AM is always worth it. Love the balloon Fiesta!

Pictures Shmictures

We went down to the Bosque yesterday before conference and took some family pictures. We just went with some friends and took pictures of each other. Fun AND free!

Love him!

Love him too!

And Her!

Parker was not being very cooperative, so I'm going to have to try to take a picture of him this week sometime.

And this weekend is the start of the Balloon Fiesta. This is one of the things I will miss about ABQ! These pictures were taken from my front porch. This one, I just thought the clouds looked cool.

We were all out front watching the balloons and this one yelled down to us, "Good Morning!" and were waving at the kids. We yelled back and probably woke up all of our neighbors. Fun times!

I was really hoping to capture a plane running into a hot air balloon and catching it on film to make my million, but this is the picture I got.

Just had to throw in a picture of his freakishly long eyelashes. I don't know where he got these, but I'm jealous!

On Friday, at Spencer's school, they had the balloon aloft. It's a program where certain schools get picked to have some balloonists come, before balloon fiesta starts, and launch their balloons from the school. Kyle took the two older kids. They were SO excited that they woke up at like 4:50 AM and got ready for it! They had so much fun, but were sure tired the rest of the day!

And Spencer took this picture of Kyle and me before our soccer game on Saturday. We are pretty awesome... actually, I have to resort to violence during our games to get the ball. I've never played soccer before in my life, so this has been a scary thing for me. But it's fun and I get good exercise!
