Go, Falcons!

Eva G got to watch her very first live football game Saturday evening. It was an awesome late October Saturday and the game was a lot of fun. Eva loved the parachuters as they landed on the field; the flyover was amazing, but rumbled the tummies and the noise was a little much for Eva. She loved the band and the people watching. She cried when it was time to leave and even the next morning was saying how she still missed the game--a sure sign of a success!

Thursday Treasures

Treasures collected on our walk today. 
Of course, there were plenty of rocks and sticks, but those weren"t quite as convenient to glue.

Up, Up, and Away

We spent the weekend in New Mexico taking in the beautiful Balloon Fiesta and Albuquerque and Santa Fe. We were lucky that the weather was so nice, as it wasn't for much of the week and many balloon activities had been cancelled. No matter how many times you see it, it's always so amazing to see that sky filled with so many balloons.

 dawn patrol -- giving the rest of the balloons the sign that conditions were good for lift-off!

 early morning wagon ride


the wind carried the balloons toward the east, whereas they normally head west, which is the ideal direction

Happy Birthday!

To Cleo.

We were talking about how it was just about a year ago that we found out there was a new litter of kittens born and they would be ready for Christmastime. So we decided October 15 would be Cleo's birthday. Eva G decided we needed to make her a cake (she also wanted to have a party and invite people over, but we nixed that part of the suggestion). So, we baked a cake, put a candle in, sang happy birthday and Eva G blew out the candle for Cleo.  We enjoyed our cake, while Cleo enjoyed a few treats.

Golden

It's starting to look quite golden around here these days. We enjoyed a beautiful Saturday up in the mountains taking in the awesome fall colors and a few trails. Our neighborhood is starting to look quite spectacular, too. We really love this time of year.
