Just things

We went to a family picnic for Kyle's work. It was really fun and it was great to see and meet people who Kyle works with. They had a lot of fun activities for the kids. Spencer loved hitting the pinata.


Carly doing the spoon-egg race. Notice how she made sure the egg didn't fall off her spoon.

Getting ready.




On Friday I decided to brave hiking with the 3 kids by myself. Spencer took this picture. All I can say is that Parker is one heavy kid! My shoulders are still hurting me!





We hiked up to the petroglyphs. Spencer is learning about the Mimbres Indians in school and so I thought this would be a fun field trip for us.






Parker likes Cheerios. These are courtesy of his nice big sister.... too bad you can't see the floor.







And Spencer started school on Thursday. They are in a nice, new building this year! YAY!








Before heading out to school.

Titles Shmitles

It has been a less-than-exciting time in our household. So here's the less-than-exciting pictures:



Parker breaks out into a rash and hives every now and then for no apparent reason at all... oh, and Benadryl does not make him tired.



Flat tires on a Sunday afternoon jaunt suck. (I hate that word, but it seems appropriate here.)


Green Chile season is alive and swinging in the land of enchantment. It may just be my new favorite thing. It's awesome on pizza, in alfredo sauce, and of course breakfast burritos. I say don't knock it til you've tried it. Yum! (If you want to try it, I just bagged 86 bags of this delectable treat and I might be willing to part with some... for the right price.)



The new dog "Lady" is still part of our family. The kids LOVE her.




And there is nothing like going to the zoo and petting some llamas.
