New Mexico!

Thursday we packed our bags and headed to the airport. Stella always gets so excited about flying it makes it feel like a big adventure. A quick trip (45 minutes) in the plane and we landed in Albuquerque. We had the whole family meet us at the airport and we hopped in Annie's car and made it to our condo at about 9pm. Tired from a long day of work and traveling we crashed in preparation for a few busy days with the entire family.

We got Stella some new luggage for the trip. She's been eyeing the Roxy roll bag for some time now and I finally broke down on Wednesday night before we left and bought it for her.

Stella if front of our little apartment downtown. There were so many people staying at the house that the foo's mom let us stay in one of their rental properties. I love the old doors they have in New Mexico. They are everywhere and one more beautiful then the next.

Saturday night the whole gang eatin traditional tamales (YUMMM) and Chile rellenos.

Last year Jim (Connor's dad) shot this zebra on an African safari, and he just finally got it last week...and here is Connor making out with it. :) (Some kind of family tradition!?!)

Stella cruising in the back seat of Connor's moms convertible. We had such beautiful weather out there, I wish we had a few extra days to spend there in the sunshine.

Connor chillin out on the back deck with the Sandia Peaks in the background. We had many adventures through out the weekend and I'll post lots more pictures and stories in the next few days. Already missing the 505!

Happy Monday! :)

Meaning To....

I've been meaning to post pictures of the finished wall at the office for a while now but it seems like every time I remember I'm either not near a computer or something else gets in the way. Well ...here it is, we decided not to do different patio layouts on top, those are going in a different spot but we did put some large slabs on top so we could display our furniture. Now, on to the next 1,000 different projects I have in mind for around here... only that's going to have to wait till tomorrow, the lil one is not feeling well so my mama went and picked her up from school and I'm heading to the doc with her in a few hours to get her checked out. Don't think it's anything major just chest congestion , runny nose but no fever. Nothing a little rest and TLC wont fix! I love the fact that everything is finally starting to turn green. Green makes every thing look better! :)

Ski Team!

A few weeks ago Stella started training with the Eldora Ski Team every Saturday. Now Saturday's can't come soon enough. I get up at 6 and get Stella up at 6:30 and we are out the door by 7. Usually we get up to Eldora around 8:30 after making a stop to get mama coffee and Stella and donut or two! :) By 9am Stella is ripping up the slopes with her coach (Dave) and 5 other little girls her age. She is having such a blast it's hard to believe we didn't do this sooner. I never noticed these signs before and thought it was pretty cool the ski area was showing some love to the local ski programs. Stella proceed to then inform me that they've been there for quite some time. Oops! :) Stella and two of her little ski buddies! Stella ripping up the GS course! At the end of the day which is usually at 3 all the kids have to help tear down the course. Stella is doing such an awesome job that it makes me one proud mama. Much Love!!!
