Snuggle bugs

Our neighbor is packing her room for college and she decided she didn't need her childhood sleeping bag anymore.
Mia was thrilled to receive it!
Of course she just had to sleep in it the first night!!
Marshall had to get in there with her...

I love seeing the love between them!

A Mini Vacation

The kids and I hit the open road and went to Albuquerque this week!
We had tons of fun!

Visiting with Grampa Eddie and Ms. Moya



Grampa Eddie has made their back yard an oasis!
He built this amazing water feature!
 There was no keeping Marshall away from it!


The Sandia Peak Tram

My mom and I took the kids up the tram!
I hadn't been since I asked to do it for my 6th birthday!








Once at the top we took some pictures and then went on a little hike!










We found a nice spot and stopped for a picnic!




Then it was more hiking!




It was so beautiful and cool up there.
I even got goosebumps!!
Such a glorious change from the heat back home!

It was all fun and games,
and then Marshall and got his first real scraped knee :0(
We cleaned it with some water and gave it lots of healing kisses!!

And then it was time to head back down the mountain!



I so love making these memories with my mama and my babies!

We had the usual gathering of family and friends!




I always feel so loved when I go back home!

Christmas in July!

Prior to our arrival my mom commented that she was worried the kids had
 outgrown the toys she has at her house.
So we browsed Amazon.com and bought the kids a couple new toys!
We set them up one night while they were sleeping and when they woke up it was like
Christmas morning!!


Albuquerque Aquarium

I love all things water and the ABQ aquarium does not disappoint!














A visit with Papa Steve!


 Love this picture of me and my daddy! 
I can't remember the last time we took a picture together!

And then, just like that it was time to say good-bye.
It was a fun filled 5 days.
I loved spending so much time with my mom
 and the kids always love seeing Mama d!
It is always so hard to say good-bye.
So as my Momo says, we say
"See you later"
instead! 

 See ya later ABQ!!
