Santa Fe

We had a really nice time visiting Santa Fe a few weeks ago. I had no idea how much history there is there. We actually stayed in a bed and breakfast that belonged to Witter Bynner, a famous poet. His home was a gathering place for many such as D.H. Lawrence (who spent his first night in an American home in this house), Willa Cather, Ansel Adams, Igor Stravinsky, and Robert Frost. It was really neat to see the house and all of the pictures of it from way back. We had fun visiting the oldest home and the oldest church in the USA! Here are a few pictures of Andilyn all bundled up in Santa Fe and a picture of the St. Francis cathedral in the Plaza.

The FamDamily!

Here are a couple pictures of us!

Balloon Fiesta!

We finally got to see the famous Balloon Fiesta after living in Albuquerque for a year. It was AMAZING! It was so neat to see all of the different hot air balloons. It really is something everyone needs to see at least once. It was really nice because our ward had a big breakfast the morning of the mass ascension, while we watched the balloons take off. Every day 500 hot air balloons take off. The Land of Enchantment doesn't disappoint!

Andilyn in her shades!

The Albuquerque Fair

We decided to head to the Albuquerque fair in hopes that it would be as great as the Blackfoot fair. It wasn't, but we still had a lot of fun. Here Andilyn is feeling really big riding this tractor and getting her first mugshot taken.

Look at my talented little brother and his friends. He is the one in the yellow pants. This was for the Lone Peak High School Sir Knight contest. He is AWESOME!!!

Andie's favorite toy!

THE JUMPEROO!
We were feeling sad for Andilyn when we went to visit family this past trip and noticed how many toys our nieces and nephews have. We haven't really gotten Andie much because she is so easily entertained with anything. For instance, some of her favorite things are her shoes, my elastic workout band, Ryan's PS3 paddle, etc.., etc... So we decided it was high time she got introduced to traditional infant toys, hence the Jumperoo. She has LOVED it! It has been so much fun to watch her face change with excitement and to hear the little squeals come out. Our favorite thing she has been doing lately is when she gets really excited she looks up toward the ceiling and opens her mouth and squeals. We can't help but laugh everytime. Hopefully the video is clear enough that you will notice it. Enjoy!
