McCalls Pumpkin Patch

So for the last couple of years I've taken Soren out to Moriarty, NM for the pumpkin patch. This year Aunt Suzanne was in town with my niece Stella.....so we all went together. My friend Kakoli was also in town with her daughter Maya and new 2 month old, Aidan. The kids got to ride the cow train, pet and feed the billy goats, and pick out pumpkins. We got some great photos to capture the beautiful day. Suzanne and I were laughing later about how much Soren and Stella look alike in some of these photos!! Enjoy!

Balloons, Balloons, Balloons

The Annual Balloon Fiesta was last weekend. Luckily some good friends came into town with their kiddos and we all got to go to the Balloon Fiesta together. I will have to say that things have sure changed since I was a child going the fiesta. I remember when that it used to be FREEZING in the morning as we waited for all the balloons to launch. I also remember one GIANT mass ascension too! Well, it was about 70 degrees out at 7:00am this past Saturday morning, and the balloons no longer launch all at once. Now they launch at all different time intervals.

It was a great weekend, full of great memories with my friends and their kids. It was a great year to take Soren, at 3 years old. He had a wonderful time and really knew what was going on this year. His favorite balloon was the green monster balloon.....mine was the Darth Vader!!

Happy Fall!
