Hayden is 6 Months Old!

Hard to believe, I know, but our little man is now 6 months old! We took him in for some 6 month pictures and he was such a ham for the camera! I brought Bronwyn along for a sibling shot, but the girl is just too sweet and I ended up buying more packages of just her too! When the pictures are perfect I cannot pass them up!

Hayden's newest favorites include:
*grabbing anything in site (especially mommy and Bronwyn's hair, mommy's necklace and various facial features)
*chewing on ANYTHING he can gets his hands on!
*sleeping from 9pm to 6am (thank you!!!)
*eating soft mushy foods
*eating little puffs! He cannot seem to get enough!
*learning to use his sippy cup for juice!

Our Grandparents Day Visits!

We decided to spend the day visiting with all of the Grandparents around town! We made them each a little print of pictures of them with Bronwyn and Hayden. Bronwyn loved being the deliveree! First we met up with Grandpa and Abuela at their house and Bronwyn brought her surprise to the door. We headed out with them to visit Great-Grandma Jones at the nursing home where she lives. Aunt Mary was also there so it was great to spend the time with everyone.


Next we headed over to visit with Grandma Deb and Grandpa Scotty. We got to catch up for a bit while Brownyn found some fun to get into and Hayden showed off his new tricks!
We ended the back at home having my parents over for dinner. "Pa-pa" and "Gammy" came over and ate with us and hung out for awhile. We had a fun day visiting with everyone and sharing the day with some of the most special people in our lives!

Happy Grandparents Day!

To all the grandparents in our lives and in our hearts, we love you! ♥

Zoey's 1st Birthday party!!!

This weekend our favorite little friend turned 1!!! Zoey celebrated in style with a carnival themed party her mommy worked all kinds of crazy hard on! And I got to help with the setup, which was really fun! I made Zoey the much loved giant cupcake for her party. Bronwyn had lots of fun at the Carnival playing games, winning tickets, and cashing them in for prizes and treats! Hayden seemed to enjoy all the action around him!
Of course... lots of photo fun!!! Enjoy!

33rd Annual Colorado Balloon Classic

We thought it would be fun to catch the Hot Air Balloon show in Colorado Springs this year. We packed up early and drove down to the Springs to join in the excitement. Danny's brother James and his family and Normando and Jamie were also all going. So we met up and hung out together while we waited for the balloons to take off! they let us know pretty quickly that due to the cloudy weather they would not have any balloons taking off for the day!

They did announce that the pilots could inflate their balloons if they chose to. A few did so we at least got something to look at. Once we realized they we not taking off, I took Bronwyn over to the kids play area where they have lots of jumping castles and bouncy slides. That kept her entertained.
We're going to plan better for next year and we are heading back down to the Albuquerque show! We went 2 years ago and we think it's be lots of fun to go back. So far we think Jamie and Normando and James and Sarah might be planning to try it too! It'll be great!
