Halloween Bash

This new land of enchantment is proving a damper on the Bray Halloween Bash. We're gonna attempt to have our own party. We are jonesing a bit since we were on a cruise ship for last years bash. Not quite as far away this year but still won't be on Connie Drive. I shall keep you posted on how things go.

Oh Hail !!

Yes, I did cave and let Derek get the wonderful barbeque. While we were at Home Depot picking it out, we had quite a storm. First, we had a hard time finding one in stock. The only one they had was sitting out front in the light sprinkling rain. We agreed to purchase it if we could have a discount. The manager decided to give us a 10% discount. While we were waiting in line to make our purchase the light sprinkle turned to a "Power Wash". We were stuck inside waiting out the storm. Well, by now I wondered if anything would be left of our new barbeque that was getting pounded by the hail. Once the storm was over Derek got his new toy and I got a hint of "New Mexico Snow".

Good Timing

Well it's a good thing we got the kiddo's gathered up and attended our balloon fiesta activities last weekend with my mom in town. Everything was cancelled the latter part of this week due to high winds. Thursday morning was very cool as it was the special shapes mass ascension. I watched it from the center while at work which isn't too far from the fiesta park. It is an awesome sight to see over 100 special shaped hot air balloons in the sky.

The girls are finished with their first semester of school. Yesterday was fall break. All of the children are so intelligent. It scares me!

I finally convinced my amazing fiance to let me have a toy! Look how sweet it is.
