Birthday's and Halloween

Megan celebrated her first birthday this month.  Other than a trip to the doctor for her check up, we didn't do much.  We had a few gifts and cupcakes.  Here's some pictures from her big day. 

This was taken while we were singing 'Happy Birthday'.  She only laughed at us for a few minutes. 

 Enjoying her cupcake. We got cupcakes with chocolate filling. We thought those would be less messy than lots of icing. And they were slightly less messy. Still lots of sugar and chocolate. Dan and Logan enjoyed them as well.

 Licking every last bit off.  No wasted cupcake here. 

Meanwhile, we've been getting ready for Halloween.  Logan wanted to be a firefighter this year and Megan was a pink bunny.  We had the hat and goodness knows she has plenty of pink clothes so it was an easy choice.  The kids dressed up for the Zoo Boo and for church.  Logan and Dan will go 'Trick or Treating' tomorrow night. 

The weather is getting cool here and Logan is preparing his list to Santa, I guess the holidays aren't far away.  Megan still isn't walking.  She has become a very fast crawler though and figures she can get anywhere she needs to faster crawling than wasting time walking.  She is very adventurous and will get into anything and everything she can.  Logan continues to do well in kindergarten.  He'll take his first field trip tomorrow to a pumpkin patch in Los Lunas. 

Finally a fun video showing Megan with some possible musical talents.  Who knows!

Balloon Fiesta 2011

It's October in NM that means it's Balloon Fiesta time.  We decided to go this year in the morning.  We were up by 4:45AM and out the door by 5:15AM.  It wasn't too cold, in the 50's and it warmed up by 9AM and was really nice.  The kids had a really good time.  There were lots of new special shapes, some of our new favorites are Spider Pig and the Shark.  Of course they still had the old favorites too, the cow, the stagecoach, the bees just to name a few.  I think they had almost 600 balloons take off on Sunday.  Here's some pictures from the field.  

Logan is still really enjoying school.  Megan is more and more mischievous everyday.  Logan wants to be a firefighter for Halloween, so we'll be looking for that costume in the next few weeks.  We're all doing good and looking forward to some cooler weather.
