Trunk or Treating

This year Halloween falls on a Sunday, therefore, we can not go Trick or Treating. Our ward does a trunk or treat with a little carnival and here are the kids in their costumes. Shelby was a Princess on Thursday when she went to her preschool Halloween party, but decided to be a frog tonight.

Shelby had these eyelashes painted on at the face painting booth at the carnival.
Kelsey was there too, wearing her halloween PJ's. They have ghost faces on the feet.

Busy Morning

I had a busy morning. First, I dropped all the kids off at school. Then I came home and picked up my neighbor's daughter Addie. Then the girls and I went back to Chamiza (William and Wesley's school) to watch William run in the jog-a-thon at 9 am. William ran 13 laps in 20 minutes.Then we came back home and fed and changed Kelsey.
We dropped Addie back off at home and went back to Chamiza to watch Wesley run at 10:30. Wesley ran 9 laps in 20 minutes.
We left Chamiza around 11 and went to the Galloping Pumpkin Patch. Shelby got to ride a horse for the first time.

I am ready for a nap, but I have to pick up Mitchell at 2 and Wesley and William at 3:10.

Travel Log Day 2

We got up in the morning and Greg went off to work. He had to visit an inmate at the Prison in Lea County. The kids took this opportunity to play in the Hotel pool.

Then we headed over to Carlsbad Caverns. Shelby and Wesley were a little trepidatious. Wesley held my hand all the way down and Greg Carried Shelby all the way down. I think we all enjoyed the caves.

"El Burro"

After the caverns we headed home.

William reveals where we are going....

Travel log Day 1

We picked the boys up from school a little early on Thursday and hit the road. Where are we going....... that is the question. On our way we stopped to see our favorite Military Cadet. Andrew is attending NMMI in Roswell. Here is Andrew when we first saw him. He had to sign out and then change into his dress uniform.

The kids enjoyed this little courtyard while we waited.Kelsey stayed in her car seat.
William looking more bored than he was.Andrew in his dress uniform.

We took Andrew out to dinner, then got back on the road. We traveled for another couple of hours until we got to our hotel in Hobbs. On the way we stopped and did a little star gazing. We could see the Milky Way better than I have ever seen it before. I guess that is what happens when you are in the middle of no where.
