2012 Fall Fun!

Ah yes, the best time of the year has arrived again! Fall is wonderful everywhere, but fall in New Mexico is absolutely breathtaking. The temperature is perfect, not too cold, not too hot, so of course we have been doing our best to enjoy the season that passes us waaaay too quickly (lucky for us, once fall is over that means Christmas is just around the corner!).

Here is a look (in pictures) at what we have been up to this fall!

First off, we welcomed our 'old' friend Tonya for a visit, and we welcomed our 'new' friend 'Marv' to our lives (Thanks to TONYA for visiting, and donating Marv!!!) .

Hi Marv!!!! 

Since the temps have cooled off, we've been able to start walking after dinner again (we had to quit this summer due an overly pregnant mommy and 100+temps---not a good combination!). Here is my new most favorite picture of all time!!! 

The BEST guys in the WORLD!!! 

Thanks to pinterest, one afternoon while the brothers were sleeping, Miles and I made 'deviled spider eggs.' He put the legs on most of them, so they didn't turn out perfectly, but we had a blast making them (and enjoyed eating them) together:

He peeled the eggs:

Mixed the eggs:

Put the 'legs' on the spiders:

And enjoyed eating the eggs. MMMMMMM

Inperfectly, perfect! 

We enjoyed Saturday morning cartoons:

One morning, we had some painting & sandbox fun: 

We took a trip to the zoo with Grandma Geez, Grandma Mimi, & Great-Grandma Jean: 

We collected leaves at the zoo and when we got home we glued leaves to paper & laminated the paper. It is my new favorite piece of artwork!! 

Of course, we went to balloon fiesta!!!!: 

After balloon fiesta, daddy and I snuck away for a mini-date night!

And we sure have enjoyed watching Daddy play soccer again!!! 

It's been a busy fall, but a great one. This week, we are gearing up for Daddy's birthday (HURRAY!), and our annual fall-fest weekend this weekend. I owe you all a post about our trip last weekend to the pumpkin patch, and my first mommy date with Maxwell. But for now, I am glad that I managed to finish this one :)
