Balloon Fiesta 2013

If you have never been to Balloon Fiesta... you are missing out!  And you should come.  And you should stay with us!

We had a great time with Lindsay and James and family as well as Carter and Jen and Jen's brother Michael and Sharon and their kids.  It was a great New Mexico holiday weekend!

We remembered our lesson of putting the kids in their snow boots too late.  Here they are warming their freezing toes in the Discovery tent while outside a wonder world of balloons was lifting off.  We didn't miss all of it, but missing any of it almost kills me!

Cold morning!  Notice the frost on the grass?

After the early morning, and then naps, we went the pumpkin patch!  Sooo fun!

 Especially the corn pit!  We found corn in random places for days after this!

 Our two families!  Thanks again for coming Halgrens!

Happy October!

 Aaaah!  Zombie baby foot!!!

I am proud to say my stroller has gotten a LOT of use!  I have already replaced tubes and tires and the entire front axle.  Now there are holes in the fabric.  The way Wyatt fell asleep with his foot like that- it was too funny I had to take a picture.  WHERE is that the foot coming from?!    

Give Your Kids a Camera on a Sunday Afternoon...

and see what happens over just a few hours (from June)...

Happy Birthday Baby Boy

 If you are curious about the cake- the hair in particular- it's meringue.

 The Birthday crew.  They are all getting older.

We played a few games with the teenage girls after cake and ice cream.  For the first time I thought "Maybe our house WILL be kind of small when we have teenagers?!"
