McCalls Pumpkin Patch!

It's our annual tradition to head over to McCall's Pumpkin Patch in Moriarty.  It is so beautiful on the other side of the Sandia mountains.  I love all the fall colors and the New Mexico landscape.  We have such a great time with my Mom each year out at the pumpkin patch.  This year, we actually rode the hay ride out to get a pumpkin.  We have never done that before.  The line always looked to long and our kids would rather play on all the rides.  So many things were the same this year and so many things were different.  I am so grateful for my amazing boys, husband, and parents.  What a beautiful time of year.  

And to reminisce for a moment:

Happy Birthday, Mom!

My mother is truly my hero.  I love her with my whole entire heart. In the 34 years I have known her, she has never once stopped loving me.  I can be extremely difficult to get a long with at times and she pushes past my hard exterior to love me when I feel like I am so unworthy.  She is kind, caring, and more than a Mom to me, she is my friend.  Happy Birthday, Mom!!

BALLOONS!

It's a magical time of year here in Albuquerque.  I love Balloon Fiesta!  I had no idea how much I would love this week until we started creating our own traditions here.  We head out one morning during Balloon Fiesta and chase the balloons on our bikes.  It is so fun and as a bonus I get some pictures of my boys.
