As we get back in the swing of going to school and getting busier at work we also begin doing all the extra curricular things. This is Mikaela's 5th year to be in the annual mini cheer camp put on by the high school cheerleaders. It has been extremely fun to watch her learn and grow each year, this year she actually knew all her cheers.



Cole loves to watch all the girls jump and shout, he loooves to watch football, but show him a giant black panther that will wave at him and he is in absolute aw.



The weekend after the game we went to Albuquerque to see my brother. He flew in from Houston for a long weekend and rather than spend the whole time in the car traveling we all opted to stay at the house there. This was quite a treat since it's been almost 2 years since we've seen him. We all had a really good time going to the zoo (they have a brand new baby elephant), shopping, eating good food we don't have at home and just hanging out.



While we were there we also played some miniature golf. Mikaela got a hole in 1 and several in 2 so she was excited. You know you are great at something when you only beat your 9 year old by 2 points.



Cole educated us all in a new way to play. You start out by putting your ball on the matt, lining it up, giving it a good hit and watching were it stops. Sounds pretty normal right, well here's where Cole's new rules come in.

You then calmly pick up your ball from it's final resting place and walk it over setting it down right next to the whole and hit it in. Always guaranteeing yourself a whole in 2...Tiger Woods look out. But seriously we all got a pretty big kick out of him.


Uncle Dustin teaching Cole the fine art of shooting cows with a sling shot on his i-phone. We were all so exhausted after our fun weekend that they couldn't seem to wake up on Monday...sooo cute.

Friday was homecoming in Cortez and Mikaela was in the parade.
The kids worked really hard decorating the float and getting all dressed up.


Mikaela is a panther. There was this whole jungle theme to their float that we never quite figured out but the kids all had a great time.
Hope this finds you all doing well. Love ya Nessa
