Memorial Day Weekend

We are having a great Memorial Day weekend here in ABQ!

Yesterday I had my final photography class. It was studio time to learn more about light and how it effects the images in the photograph. I was asked to bring a model along and Sara was thrilled that I picked her. With a little help to keep her entertained, this is my favorite picture from the shoot!



Today we had planned on putting the pool in the backyard and splashing around all afternoon, but the clouds didn't leave ABQ until 3pm, so we decided it was a better day for a hike. We packed up the kids in the car and headed for the east mountains. A short hike to the travertine falls was a perfect first hike for Will. We placed a few pictures in the May album, so be sure to take a look!

Hope everyone is enjoying their holiday weekend!

Will Crawling

As many of you have probably heard, Will is crawling all over the place now. Since not everybody has been able to see it on Skype yet, we thought it would be a good idea to upload a video for everybody else to watch.

This video doesn't show him crawling for too long, but he has no problem getting anywhere on the first floor now. Gates have been put up.

Holland

The time has come...pictures of Holland! A few weeks ago I embarked on a 10 day trip with my mom and sisters to the Netherlands. We wanted to see the country that my mom's entire family came from...and it was beautiful! Our central location was Amsterdam, but we took various day trips to see what other gems the country had in store for us. It was a trip of a life time and I hope you enjoy the photos. I did cut the number down from the 1200 that were taken. If you want to see more, let me know and we'll plan some time to go through them. I tried to tell a bit of the story within the photo comments, so hopefully that helps! Thanks to my in-laws for helping watch the kids while I was away...they had a fantastic time!

Birthday/Mother's Day Weekend

If you are here looking for pictures from Holland, you will have to wait a few more days...the discs are in the mail! Until then, here are some pictures from May. We had a birthday party for Sara yesterday with family and a few friends. She wanted a Minnie's Bow-tique themed party, so there was a lot of pink and polka dots! Today is Mother's Day and I've been enjoying it with Owen and the kids! Sara wanted to try out her new skates and we took a trip to the park to fly a kite. What a fun day! Tomorrow Sara turns 4 and I'm sure we will do something exciting to celebrate, so check back again to see if we post more pictures from that adventure! Happy Mother's Day to all you Moms reading!
