Table for 6

I finally started a food blog, Rich was noticing that I was posting more recipes on our family blog then the kids:)  So I thought I would separate the two. Who knows if anyone will ever read it...but it's been helpful to me to start organizing my recipes that I use a lot. I don't have a fancy camera or do I know how to take really beautiful pictures of my food, but if I post the recipe on my blog it's a recipe that we really enjoy. So you'll just have to trust me!

Thanksgiving Day

We had a nice Thanksgiving this year. We started off the morning with the kids doing the Turkey Trek run. They have been practicing on my tredmill for two weeks.  I love how when Weston runs he watches his shadow off to the side, he likes to see how fast he is going. I'm surprised he didn't run into anyone because he doesn't look ahead of himself. After the race, I finished making my part of the meal for Thanksgiving and we headed over to Lisa and Theron's for Thanksgiving. They always throw great parties. 

Antoinette invited the Elders to join us. She loves these boys. I think this must have been their 4th meal in the day, because all they ate was pie. 

Played some games on their xbox. Had a little dance off too:)

Lobos game

Went to a Lobos basketball game last month. Our friends Lisa and Theron invited us to sit with them in their box seats. They really do spoil us by inviting us to things like this. Thanks Lisa and Theron:)

Lisa and Theron
 He is the man that put braces on teeth and gave me straight teeth again! Lisa is one of my most favorite people here in New Mexico. She's been a really good friend to me.

Rich and Katie
It's always fun hanging out with these two.

Scating with Brooklyn

Me and Brooklyn went rollerscating with some of her soccer friends a few weeks ago. It's always nice to just focus on being with one of my kids for afternoon. We had a great time, I love being a mom to Brooklyn. She's a special little girl. 

New Mexico...The Land of Enchantment

What's kinda cool about Albuquerque is that when I walk my kids to school in the morning we always see hot air balloons. I have tried to find the beauty in living here, I struggle with the xeri-scaped yards with no grass, and all the dust in the air from living in a desert. But... I do have to say that I do think seeing hot air balloons this close to my house is very enchanting. I will miss seeing this in the mornings when we move in April. 

Halloween

Carving the pumpkin an hour before we left for trick-or-treating. Normally I am not a procrastinator, but with carving pumpkins I am. 

She makes the cheesiest smiles sometimes.

Went trick or treating with Antoinette and Noah. 

I think we have enough candy to last us a year. Brooklyn has the most amazing self control when it comes to sweets. I think if my boys were diabetic it would be really hard for them to eat sweets in moderation. They could seriously eat their entire bucket in one night. Brooklyn ate 3 pieces of candy this night and was totally satisfied. 

Not one, or two, but 4 lollipops at once.

10 minutes before the trunk or treat I dared Rich to wear this TIGHT wet suit. I thought he looked hilarious, but he said he wouldn't wear it unless I wore one. 

Mine was not nearly as tight as his.  I have not dressed up since I was a kid. The minute we pulled in the church parking lot I regretted this!  The kids thought it was fun, but I was self conscience all night.
