ABQ

Last weekend we went to visit Stu and Cat in Albuquerque.  The kids did awesome on the 8 hour drives and had so much fun seeing their Aunt Cat and Uncle Stu.  We went to the Balloon Fiesta, enjoyed the amazing food, went up in the mountains, hung out with Stu, Cat and their friends and watched OU kill Texas!  Plus we got to spend a few more days with Nana and Papa.  It was a great weekend!! Darin took tons of pictures from the Fiesta...which was unbelievable!!

Headed to the Fiesta!!

They have no clue what is going on...

woke them up at 4:45am and put warm clothes on and stuck them in the car

Enjoying the mountains

We loved Albuquerque and are already trying to find a time to go back and ski!  Thanks for everything Stu and Cat!!

First OU game

A couple of Saturdays ago I took the kids to the OU game.  Darin was busy so my mom went with me to help out with the kids.  It was Drew's first game and he absolutely loved it! Thanks to the Corbett/Loxton's we got to sit in the suite!

Baby Grace

Ryan turns 4

The month long celebration finally came to an end last week as Ryan really turned 4.  When I told her Happy Birthday she looked at me and asked "am I really 4 today?!"  She had a great birthday and loved getting to celebrate over and over!

Tripp

I have started babysitting our friend's 7 week old son Tripp.  We have him Monday through Friday all day.  He is so cute and so far pretty laid back!  The kids could not be more excited about it, and I am enjoying having a baby to love on.  Here are some pictures of the kids with Tripp the first week.

I took all 3 kids to Target the second day we had him. 

They were all perfect!

Ryan's "I'm Thankful hand" at church.  :)

 Clearly she is loving having Tripp around.
