I'm Back!

I went to Time Out for Women this weekend in Albuquerque with some of my great fiends. We had so much fun! We left early on Friday and got there in time to do some shopping and had dinner at P.F. Changs (YUMMMM). The conferance was so uplifting and they had some really wonderful music! This is only the second time that I have left my kids so that was a little (some may say more than a little) hard for me but my mom and Donnie did a great job. I got to spend some time getting to know some really neat women from my church and that was one of the best things about the trip! (They wore me out though)

Hannah Montana

I was updating some pictures from last month and found this one of Michaela as Hannah Montana. She had to dress up for school as her favorite celebrity. (I'm sure there were a lot of Hannah's) She is VERY into fashion and shopping. I keep saying that we are going to be in trouble when she is 16!

Your Going to Miss This

So, after turning down a couple of job offers this year this song gives me such peace of mind. I just thought I would share it because I LOVE it!

Rio Grande Zoo

We made a fast trip to the Rio Grande Zoo this week in Albuquerque. We had a great time, and got to ride a camel! The zoo was so fun and a perfect size for a family with young children. We also got to go have dinner at Chuck E. Cheese. My kids were so excited about that. We hadn't been since Sam was little. Then we made the long trek back home. It was a great family outing!

Two Wheeler!

Brecken is now riding a two-wheeler. Can you believe it? Last night I went to get my hair cut and he came in and asked Donnie if he could take his training wheels off. Donnie did and he took off. We didn't even have to run behind him holding on....he was just ready. He will probably be riding a hundred miles by summer!

8 Months Old!

I can't believe our baby is eight months old! Man, how time flies. He is crawling everywhere, getting into everything, and having a great time. He loves his siblings so much and tries to keep up with everyone the best he can. He is just so cute and we love him so much! Hope you have a great St. Patricks Day and don't forget to wear green!!!!
