Pumpkin Carving & Rice Crispy Treats

We had a fun Family Night last night. We went and picked out some pumpkins, then carved them after dinner. We made rice crispy treats and had a lot of fun with the boys carving pumpkins and eating yummy treats!!! The boys loved playing with "the guts" of the pumpkin. It was a fun night with our boys!!!








Mmmm. . . is that good Jacob?








So Scary!

What a Wonderful Weekend!!!

We had such a FUN weekend!!!
Ragan's mom and dad came to Albuquerque to visit and we had such a great time!!! This was also the last weekend of the Albuquerque Hot Air Balloon Fiesta, so we got to enjoy that as well!

We had such a great time hanging out, doing Balloon Fiesta stuff, shopping, eating and just being together! The following are some pictures of the fun times we had together!!!

Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta 2007 - Part 1

BALLOON CHASING

One of the traditions we've started since moving here is to go and chase the hot air balloons during the Balloon Fiesta and watch them land. This year we were so lucky to have Grandpa and Grandma Bryce here to go with us!

Here is the first landing we watched on Saturday morning.
The boys were so excited to be so close to the balloon, but Logan took a minute to say CHEESE for the camera. Funny boy!

They were so enthralled to watch the balloon land.

It was such a beautiful morning with all the balloons.

I just love this shot.

Landing in the cornfield right by us.


Logan being so cute with his hands in his pockets - trying to be like Ragan. Like Father, Like Son. So cute!!!


This balloon was so pretty.

We got to watch them deflate this balloon. It was fun watching how they did it and how many people it takes.


It turned out to be a beautiful morning for balloon chasing. We all had a good time and got to see some great landings. After chasing the balloons we went and ate breakfast, then mom and I went to a craft fair while the boys went to look at a gun shop. Later, the boys went home to rest and mom and I had a great time going shopping!

NIGHT MAGIC GLOW

This year we actually went down to the Balloon Park to enjoy the final events of the Balloon Fiesta on Saturday night. We went down to watch the Night Magic Glow, which is where the balloons stay grounded and fire up and the balloons glow at night. After the Night Magic Glow we watched some spectacular fireworks! It was all so beautiful!!!

It was starting to get dark and the balloons are just getting inflated to get ready for the balloon glow. Here's all my guys with the balloons behind.


Jacob got to sit in one of the gondolas and watch it fire up. He is on the right side of the picture with the blue hood on.

Nash stood next to the gondola to see it fire up too. He is in the middle of the picture on the other side of the gondola, with his hood on too.

Logan is watching the balloons and fireworks, just happy to be there and holding on tight to his balloon card.

Some of the balloons lighting up with Logan and Ragan watching.

It was so pretty to watch them all fire up together. My picture doesn't do it justice.

We had a fun night down watching the balloons and fireworks. We ate some of the food, watched the different events and had a fun night being together with Grandma and Grandpa!!!

Fun with Grandpa & Grandma Bryce

We had such a fun and busy weekend with Grandpa & Grandma!!! The boys could not get enough of playing and climbing all over their grandparents! Here are just a few pictures of us finally relaxing after all our fun!


Nash and Jacob had such fun crowding onto the couch with Grandma and Grandpa and cuddling under the blanket.

I love this picture!! All our boys with their grandma and grandpa!

Mom and Dad, THANKS for such a fun and wonderful weekend. We were so happy to have you here and were so sad to have you go! Come back soon!!!

Sonogram Results

We have some wonderful news to share with all of you out there! Today we found out that the unbelievable actually does happen once a while. We, the family with all the boys, are going to have a GIRL!!! That's right, a girl! Can you believe it? The sonogram was very clear and now I won't be outnumbered! :) We are so excited (and still trying to grasp that it is true) to be adding a girl to our family!

Here is a good look at our little girl's face.
She is being so dramatic with her hand to her forehead.
Thank goodness she has Ragan's cute nose, I'm so happy about that!!!


Here's a shot of her feet.

The sonogram was so awesome. She is healthy and everything is all accounted for . . . fingers, feet, cute nose, heart - you know all the important stuff.

Ragan commented when they took the above picture that she looks like she could be that "girl on Gone With the Wind" being so dramatic and all. We kinda like the name Scarlett now. :)

Anyway, we wanted to share our news with everyone! We still can't believe that it is a girl. But, we sure are excited and I might just have to go and buy something PINK tonight!!!! That will be something new! YEAH!!!
