2 Years Ago Today.......

I was walking out the door to go to Sunday morning meeting and my water broke! Off to the hospital we went and at 9:52 pm Lindsy Ann was born. She checked in at 7lbs 2 oz and 19 inches. Thankfully her big brother has always been (pretty) good with her. I love the picture below because it looks like he is unsure what he is supposed to do with a baby sister. Enjoy walking down our memory lane. First Thanksgiving.

At 10 months old she was so little she could sit in a salad bowl!

Sharing a cookie with Daddy at one years old.
Here is 2 year old pictures I took Lindsy .

I think brother still loves her!

I made Lindsy a Carrot Cake for her birthday.
My sister's birthday is tomorrow so I made her a Cherry Pie.

I am a bad mom! I forgot to get any birthday candles.....so we improvised!
Rocking chair from Amma and Boppa.
A new purse (came fully loaded with candy) and a Baby with a new stroller.
HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY LINDSY!

THERES A COW IN THE SKY!!!!.....

One thing October always brings here is Balloon Fiesta. (Wilfred calls it the balloon fiasco.) It is an International event bringing people from all over the world. As a kid I loved to go see it. Then I lost interest, now I have kids of my own and really enjoyed seeing their faces light up. The only downside is the balloons fly at 7 am. I had to get up at 4 and get everything ready. The kids and I picked my mom up at 5. We sat in traffic for an hour 5:45 to 6:45. I finally gave up on getting into the balloon park and found a nice spot along side the road. The kids have fun and I had fun watching them. Then the cops came and ran us all off. We got to see most of it. Sadly this year there was a fatality when one of the balloons hit the power lines and the balloon caught fire. Wilfred hates this time of year because the traffic is always the worst and the balloon can be a hazard to the job sites. Still it is a neat event. This is the First Balloon to go up.....the first one always carries the American Flag.

The Creamland cow. Creamland is the milk of New Mexico. We also saw Darth Vader, Nemo, The White House, a Castle, Wells Fargo Stagecoach and many others. (Too bad my camera ran out of batteries! )

We bought another house the other day. Thankfully we didn't have to mortgage it!


Missy is growing!

The little ham Happy to have a sucker!
I guess dress -up is in a girls genetic makeup. Here she is with her brother's hat, her purse, and her Daddy's boots!
We had snow Tuesday morning! We had about 2 inches total and then it started to rain. I snapped this picture after it had been raining. See the turkey heading into the wood shed?

Blog? What Blog?.....

Since I am very tired of getting 'hate mail' from all of you I am taking some time to make a post. However be forewarned that it will be a long one!

Here is a picture of Wilfred's crane in action. This job site was an observatory.
This is the drop down the cliff where the observatory was being built.

This is flight for life leaving the job site. The job site supervisor beaned one of the other laborers on the head with a forklift. The laborer was fine.....had a broken neck.
The crane put away as the sun was setting.
2 oryx on the mountainside. You may have to click on the picture to see them better.

Lindsy has moved up to a big girl bed! Her brother just had to try it out with her.
The sun setting against some clouds out our back door.
Wilfred took 2 weeks to go Elk hunting. Here was the camp.

Can you see the man in the picture?
The views from Mt. Taylor.


This silly squirrel is always at the bank. Can you see him in the rocks?

Clayton and Lindsy anxiously watching the biscuits baking.
While Wilfred hunted I canned! Green Beans, Strawberry Jelly, Grape Jelly, pickles, and peaches.

Lindsy helping me bake some magic cookie bars.
She couldn't see but she could help!
Waiting for them to bake.
A potluck. All the kids were sitting on the wall. ( Yes, my husband counts as a kid.)

I came home to find these 2 lizards sitting on the tractor tires.
The kids riding tractors at the State Fair.
I spent a weekend with my mom in Las Vegas. The kids stayed with their Auntie Rae. Wilfred was still hunting.

In L.V. we went to M&M World. Here is the M&M stock car. I am holding the racing jacket I brought back for Clayton.

The lions in the middle of the MGM Grand.
Skyline of New York, New York.
More N.Y, N.Y., The Monte Carlo, and more building in the background.

The bounty of the night.
We went to the Rodeo. We watched some mutton bust'n. Here the clown was rushing in to pick up one of the little cowboys.

After the Rodeo we watched Luke Bryan in concert. It was a great concert. You can click on the picture and see it larger.
This looks like someone set a bomb off. This was the clouds as the sunset out our backdoor.

Now that you have seen why we have been so busy, I hope you will take a moment and PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT!!!!!!! :)
