Beeeeeautiful Girl!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM OUR SWEET LITTLE BEE!

Balloons and People Everywhere

Albuquerque has the (I think THE) largest hot air balloon fiesta in the world. It lasts for two weeks in early October. And you have to go at least once while it is going on. So we decided to go to the Special Shapes Glowdeo. (That is when all the shaped balloons and anchored down and once it gets dark they 'glow' or turn their gas/flames on.) It is Mindy's favorite event and is really cool to watch. We attended the Glowdeo with our friends Scott & Tracy and thier daughter Nora. To save on parking, we all loaded up in our car and headed to the event. We had a great time and Nora and Katy LOVE playing together.

There was a Darth Vader balloon this year. So of course their had to be storm troopers too!

A Fun Night

The Littlest Jones

Well, almost the littlest. Mindy's grandmother's, Sue, side of the family (the Jones) recently had a family reunion in Ruidoso, NM. And while Katy was very close to the youngest (there is one more Jones that is younger) she was still happy to meet LOTS of people that she had never met before. Lots of hugs and kisses to go around. Katy got to spend lots of time with her Nana and Popee (mindy's parents), her Uncle Matt & Aunt Lindsey and lots more relatives. She even got to get her photo taken with THE Pistol Pete of the NM Aggies!! (Pete just happens to be mindy's cousin DJ!!). The weather was fantastic and our accomodations were great (thank you Nana and Popee!!). We stayed in a 3 story town hown. Man, Katy loved all those stairs.

Hot tub anyone!? These are SOME of my mommy's first cousins.

Me and my Aunt Lindsey got sleepy!!

Dad and I had LOTS of fun on the swings.

My Great-grandma Sue's branch of the family tree all wore red shirts.

Luckily, I look cute in ALL colors.

GO AGGIES!!

FUN AT THE FAIR

Did you need something? I am trying to watch the events!!

Look Dad...I am as tall as that goat.


Why won't this silly cow come over and see me!?!

Yes...COME ON!

Mom, please put me down so I can finish playing!!


What!?! Again? How many pictures do I have to take.

These guys are SO fun to pet.

Ooh...come back, I wasn't done with you.

Yes...can we help you?

This past month, the NM State Fair was going on so of course Katy has to go.
She actually ended up going twice. Once with Uncle Joe, Aunt Aspen, Andy & Michelle, and Mommy and Daddy. And once with just Mommy & Daddy. Both times she had fun.
But of course mommy only brought the camera once. :) Katy's favorite thing about the fair (BY FAR) was all the animals. She loved (!!) the little petty zoo and enjoyed the dairy barn too.

While yes, in these photos you may not see a smile, she really loved it. She just loooks irratated in all the photos because I kept saying, Katy...Katy, look at Mom...and she was annoyed because I kept making her take photos. :)
