Albuquerque Weekend

Albuquerque Zoo


It was raining when we got there, kind of off and on. Delia really wanted to see the zebras, they are one of here favorite. So we stopped under this overhang to get out of the rain for a bit and I decided to snap a picture of her with them, but by the time she looked at me and smiled all I got were the behinds of the Zebras..wonderful. oh well, at least I got them in time before they completely move elsewhere. if you can still see them.

I don't think I have seen a giraffe up this close. Their space wasn't as big as the Denver zoo, so maybe they didn't have room to roam around, but it was funny to watch them with their big tongues licking up leaves off the rock!!

Delia was pretty speechless throughout her whole zoo experience, but when we went to the aquarium, she was so thrilled to see all that was there! The fishies, sting rays, and turtles, and sharks...wow, she really likes the sea life! they had some great big aquariums, one with just tropical fish and the other with larger marine life.

BYU vs. U of New Mexico

This was a fun game, but much too close. It wasn't as cold as I was expecting it to be and Delia did fairly well. She really got in to the game with her cheering. We were close to the cheer leaders so she was getting a kick out of their cheers. The hotel was really nice. It was a fun weekend.

Delia's letter to Santa!

These might be a little hard to read, but if you click on it, it will pull the letter up larger! Delia helped me push some buttons, but I think I am more excited about it than she is! ;) After we emailed santa, he wrote her back! So fun!

Halloween 2009

Halloween was really fun this year! Delia was tinkerbell and I couldn't get over how cute she was because she was just this little tiny fairy!! She was the only "tinkerbell" at the Trunk-or-Treat that I saw, which was surprising. There were a lot of great costumes. There was a family that dresses up as characters from the Grinch! I think they won best overall. I will have to be more creative for a family theme next year..we didn't dress up this year and is starting to loose it's excitement for Christian. Our friends Josh and Misty came with us and brought their little girl who was an adorable lady bug! they had fun running around before the dive for the loot began. There were more people this year and many ran out of candy(as did we last year) but this year I was prepared and we had a small bowl left over! Delia did pretty good and it wasn't as cold as we thought it would be. During her trick or treating she insisted on having a treat right away so I gave her a small sucker and she didn't speak a word after. Once again I did the "trick or treating" and that's okay, I just like hearing her voice say it! She now asks for a "Ow-a -ween Tweet" everyday and still calls all the pumpkins 'pumpkin patch" instead of just pumpkin. So cute! She got a perfect amount of goodies. Here are some pictures of the little fairy!
