Sewing Projects

Well yes I realize I have fallen off the face of the planet. It is because I have become obsessed with sewing again :) These are the projects that I have actually finished. Total I made 7 quilts, 6 fish, 1 bag, and am half way done with 2 car seat covers (photos soon to come). For now here are the pics I have!

ABQ Zoo

I know I post a lot of zoo pictures, but we love the zoo! We bought a pass when we very first moved here and I try and take Lucas at least once or twice a month. Due to the size of my belly it is getting a little more difficult to enjoy it there so we will see how long I can keep it up!

Father's Day

This year instead of planning something for Brian for Father's Day I told him he could pick whatever he wanted to do and we would do it. Naturally, his choice was his dirt bike.

We all went to a motocross track for the first time (well to ride anyway, Brian and I had gone to watch races before). This track is on the other side of town and Brian was really excited to get a membership there and he plans on going there at least once a month to ride. It wasn't always easy to keep Lucas entertained but in the end we all ended up having a good time there. Brian was really impressed that he was being able to keep up with riders considering this was his first time ever on a track!

Mud

How is mud so much fun?

There is this sprinkler pipe thing that comes into our patio that has been leaking for a week onto our patio. It is really ridiculous that it hasn't been fixed already, but they say that MAYBE it will get fixed on Thursday...

Anyway, after so many days I had to cave and let Lucas walk around it for a while on Sunday. We are trying to grow grass back there or I would have let him sooner. He had a blast walking around in it!

Biopark Adventures

Well we have had a fun little visit from Brian's mom over the past few days. She arrived Thursday afternoon and just left today. It was fun to have a visitor here because we did stuff that we normally probably wouldn't have done otherwise!

Here in Albuquerque the Biopark Society is comprised of three things; the zoo, the aquarium, and the botanical gardens. With our handy dandy pass we decided to start out at the zoo and then take the zoo/aquarium train over to the aquarium and to the gardens (which are side by side) and then ride the train back to finish at the zoo. It was lots of fun to show Julie all of our favorites and since we had never been to the gardens that was especially fun for us.

They had an awesome Childrens Fantasy Garden, with oversized everything. Lucas loved the tree slide in there so much he cried when we finally said it was enough sliding and time to move on. I will definitely have to take him back there! I really enjoyed the Butterfly area because I got to take some great pictures with my new camera (Brian got it for me for my birthday).

After we were tired from walking and the sun beating down we decided to drive the few blocks to downtown and eat at Tucanos. Brian especially loves the food there and we all tried to eat until we were exploding to make sure we got our money's worth.
