At the beginning of the month we headed to New Mexico to see Claire. Along the way we stopped at 4 corners for a little brake.
We planned out trip the same weekend as the balloon fiesta. I'm sure we took over 2000 photos between Curtis, my mom, dad and me.
Curtis took this photo on Sunday morning. We really like the moon in the background.
Saturday morning we all got up early and headed out to the balloons. Max had been struggling with a cold the few days but this morning he just wanted to he held and seemed extra sad. He had been on my shoulder for about half an hour then we noticed the ear wax. Max had a horrible ear ache. Curtis and I took him to an urgent care center and got an antibiotic for him. He is doing much better.
It is too bad he was so miserable. I think he would have loved all the balloons if he had been feeling well. I must admit, it was nice not to chase him.
Claire showed us around the town and took us to some great places to eat.
I missed out on the Darth Vader balloon. After we found out how sick Max was, I didn't want to take him anywhere. I was told the crew for this one dressed in storm trouper outfits. I think the driver dressed as Darth Vader.
The Next event is Max's birthday. He turned 3 while we were in New Mexico so we planned a party for later the next week. It was a zoo themed party and I must thank Lindsey for helping me decorate 4 dozen cupcakes...and for cleaning my house 3 times...doing my dishes...paying Bailey to clean our bathrooms...bringing cheese sticks...and just being wonderful in general.
Another big thank you to Jim and Christie for bringing the Hot Dogs and buns. To my Parents for making caramel corn and putting together a veggie tray and everything else they did for us.
Max liked his party but wanted to open the presents as they arrived and was no longer interested when the time to open them arrived. All the other kids where excited about his gifts. We had to hide the Buzz toy from Tucker. It was a lot of fun but I'm always happiest when it is all over.
Last night we went to Gardner's village with Tyler and Lindsey's family. We found a witch hunt on their web site. The kids loved finding the witches and really liked the cookie they got when they finished.
I was looking through our photos and I guess Curtis took some shots while I was window shopping.
So far we have had a great October. I don't think we have any big plans until Halloween. I'm ready for a rest after all this fun.
