Beautiful ABQ

So many people have said that ABQ is the armpit of the west. I don't think they were trying to hard too enjoy it here because this place is amazing.

Koda's Birthday 08

Koda had a chef party for her seventh birthday. We had such a blast. Look how beautiful our tiny girl is.

Harley's Birthday 09/13/08

Harley chose to have a masquerade for her 11th birthday. We brought the kids over, set up a camera for the kids to shoot poses. Being the cruel parents we are, we played a little prank on Har's...she wanted a skateboard so we went ahead and got her a finger skateboard. Before we gave her the real deal! Look how excited she is in the pic with the finger board!!!

Some Family Hiking

There are several collections of petroglyphs close to our new casa. We forced the kids out to go and play some.

And so it begins!

After hearing from a few close friends they want to see "Life With Derek" updated we decided to put a blog together for the family. Here we go...hope you enjoy.
