Saying Goodbye...

A beautiful view on the way to Silverton. A pilot told me that this was the most beautiful part of the country he has ever seen. I'd have to agree. It takes my breath away!
The quaint little town of Silverton nestled in the middle of mountains
Our visit to the "Handlebars" restaurant. The kids were very well behaved!!
I'm saying good bye to my funny 3 year old! I can't believe she is 4 already. Well, sometimes I can. She imitates her big sister any way she can. She informed me on her birthday that she was going to stop sucking her thumb. I swear I didn't put that idea in her head, but I'm glad she had it! We'll see how easy it is:)
Playing a princess dress up game...don't they look cute?
Daddy is always so good at making the birthday cakes:)
A visit to the Albuquerque Zoo,
And to the aquarium
Can you believe this is in an elevator??
Here are the long awaited pictures of my new haircut as I'm riding a "high wire bicycle" in Albuquerque's Children's Museum - a must see if you're ever in Alb. We spent 4 happy hours there over Memorial day weekend.

Here is the updates: We went on a road trip to Silverton (the train ride is a little too pricey for us - $60 a ticket!) And enjoyed getting to know the surrounding area to where we live. Brooklyn celebrated her 4th birthday at the end of May, and that weekend we took a trip to Albuquerque (I am learning how to spell it??) It was Memorial weekend, and Dave actually had that Monday off, so we thought we would take advantage! It was a lot of fun and I'm happy to say we did it as frugally as we could. We cooked a dinner in the crock pot one night and the children's museum was free thanks to the membership I purchased in Feb. I'm sad to say that those were the last pictures taken from our now broken camera, so farewell my friend! Hopefully your replacement will honor us as well as you did! :)

Desperation!

It seems like any time we get comfortable financially, things happen to drain our savings. We just had to repair our vehicles 3 times in a week! I am thinking I need to start working to help us get out of the hole, but I feel so limited with 4 kids and a husband who works 70 hours a week. Does anyone have any good ideas? Also I accidentally ran over the camera, so I won't have pictures for awhile:( When it rains it pours right?
